17.Five Secrets of People Who Stay Slim Effortlessly
To stay at a healthy weight,most slim people don't go on diets.(51)E Researchers analyzed the habits of 147adults who participated in an online Global Healthy Weight Registry,whose responses stressed one major thing for healthy living:Routine is key.
1.They eat breakfast.
96percent of study participants reported eating breakfast nearly every day.Those who give up a morning meal tend to consume more calories at lunchtime.(52)D Eating breakfast could,instead,really be a sign of living healthfully.It's routine,people.
2.They exercise.
Forty-two percent of study participants reported exercising five or more times a week.Exercise does so much for our bodies and brains,including reducing stress and depression symptoms as well as the risk of diabetes (糖尿病).(53)G That's a win-win for weight loss.
3.They have a scale.
About 50percent said they weighed themselves at least once a week.New research finds that weighing yourself daily is a good practice for losing weight and maintaining a healthy size.
4.(54)A
According to the research,44percent of participants reported at least one"non-restrictive strategy"to their eating,such as listening to inner calls,eating high-quality and low-processed foods and cooking at home.If you're on the job and hungry after lunch,consider cutting out vending machine snacks for more nutritious ones you bring from home.Eating at home is a smart way to cut calories and spending.
5.They eat mindfully.
People who look and feel good generally don't put themselves on restrictive diets.Instead,they think about what they're putting in their bodies.While 74percent said they never or rarely diet,92percent reported being conscious of what they ate.(55)F

A.They don't restrict what they eat.
B.They prefer to eat outside.
C.However,you can keep simple routine to make yourself slim.
D.Skipping breakfast is also associated with increased weight and increased weight gain over time.
E.Instead they practice easy habits.
F.This number suggests that effortlessly slim people don't engage in mindless eating.
G.One more really cool side effect of habitual exercise is that it'll make you crave a healthier diet.
18.One hundred years ago,"Colored"was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent.Twenty years later,it was purposefully dropped to make way for"Negro."By the late 1960s,that term was overtaken by"Black."And then,at a press conference in Chicago in 1988,Jesse Jackson declared that"African American"was the term to embrace.This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups,such as"Italian Americans"and"Irish Americans,"that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.
A century's worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise.A 2001study cataloged all the ways in which the term"Black"carried connotations (涵义) that were more negative than those of"African American."
But if it was known that"Black"people were viewed differently from"African Americans,"researchers,until now,hadn't identified what that gap in perception was derived from.A recent study,conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall,found that"Black"people are viewed more negatively than"African Americans"because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status.As a result,"Black"people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.
The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeating the professional world.Even seemingly harmless details on a resume,it appears,can tap into recruiters'biases.A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the"Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers"or the"National Black Employees Association,"the names of which apparently have consequences,and are also beyond their members'control.
In one of the study's experiments,subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams.To one group,he was identified as"African-American,"and another was told he was"Black."With little else to go on,they were asked to estimate Mr.William's salary,professional standing,and educational background.
The"African-American"group estimated that he earned about﹩37000 a year and had at wo-year college degree.The"Black"group,ontheotherhand,puthissalaryatabout﹩29 000,and guessed that he had only"some"college experience.Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr.Williams worked at a managerial level,while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought so.
Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use"African American,"though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress.Perhaps a new phrase is needed,one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois's original,idealistic hope:"It's not the name-it's the Thing that counts."

10.Proudly reading my words,I glanced around the room,only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused,I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.Having no choice,I slowly raised the report I had slaved over,hoping to hide myself."What could be causing everyone to act this way?"
Quickly,I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task.This was the first real talk I received in my new school.It seemed simple:go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow,it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different!One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts,while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin.Heads-the commander,and tails-the peanuts guy.Ah!Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver.
Weeks later,standing before this unfriendly mass,I was totally lost.Oh well,I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report,it all became clear,"My report is on George Washington,the man who started the American Revolution."The whole world became quite!How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously,my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless,I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot,but she insisted:No re-dos; no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified,and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later,that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather,now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet!
