Overweight has been a great concern for some people. In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have    1   tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are    2 when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people   3   the high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物)diets. However, such diets might have   4 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.
On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds that have been 5   cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against    6  .
The findings   7 that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. In general, experts   8 that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day though—it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.

Last week after a long day of traveling, I found myself delayed at a bus station. The bus was running two hours late! I was a little 1 and had to wait there reading a book. Just then a woman 2 and asked me if I had any spare change to help her 3 a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure,” I said.
With the words, I reached into my bag for some 4. As I handed her five dollars I 5her stomach rumble (发出辘辘声) and I knew she was very 6.
I then reached back into my 7 and brought out a Danish pastry (酥皮糕点) I had bought earlier and 8it to her with a smile.
She took the pastry and gave me a bus ticket to Milwaukee to show her 9. I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 10 be used, but I took it. A look of 11 spread over her face. Then she went to get her 12 and I went back to my 13.
She came back a few 14 later, apologized, and told me there were five dollars 15. I gave her the money and slipped(悄悄地塞) a twenty 16. She thanked me and went back to the counter. 17 I went back to my book.
Five minutes later she came back again and 18 to return my twenty. 19 I said it was for her so she could get something else to eat and that I wasn’t taking it back, she 20crying and hugged me.
From then on, I always help others in trouble, because I believe I am really making a difference to them!

The young engineer sat down on a rock and rested his head in his hands. He would never get home; it was 1 . For weeks he had been 2in the Northwest Canadian forest. Now there was a terrible 3behind his eyes, and 4 of all, he had gone blind.
Suddenly a man 5out of the woods, an Indian who had been hunting in the area. Seeing the engineer's 6 , he caught a fish in a nearby 7 and fed the sick man the 8 of the fish and some flesh from its head. 9within a few hours the engineer's pain was 10 . A day later he could 11again, and the next day he had 12recovered.
When he returned home, the engineer told the 13 to Dr Price. 14 years later did it become a(n) 15 fact that this was just an everyday lifeguard doing its work. For what the engineer did, by eating fish eyes, was to 16 vitamin (维生素).
Vitamin A's biggest job is to keep the eyes 17. Without Vitamin A, people and animals get night blindness and other eye problems. Without Vitamin A, people can even be totally blind. Vitamin A helps to keep the skin in good 18. A also helps 19bones and teeth and has something to do with proper 20 of blood cells.

back. It was the 8 and sympathy (同情) in their eyes that 9 me doing so. I went shyly towards an unoccupied (空的) seat.
Being lame, I didn’t dare to 10in front of my classmates. I was afraid that I might be 11 at. In those days I was very sad to see others walking 12.
One day, a few students came up to me and asked me to go outside. I was really 13 . They encouraged me with a(n) 14 smile and 15 me in my wheelchair from place to place. I was 16 to them for giving me a chance to see the 17 of our lovely school with my own eyes.
After that we often read, played and talked together. My friends are always 18

"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 1on, something good will happen some day."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had 2 myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was3every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that4stations wouldn't employ a person without5since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had 6 in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just 7for me but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment had8as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum9me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer. 10I left his office, I asked aloud,"11can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director 12 "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to13an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 14and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the15Saturday.

When I was young, I belonged to a club that did community service work. There was one specific event that was1for me. I spent three or four hours handing out warm dinner to the 22_ out in the streets. After that I went to a homeless shelter(避难所) not far from the Bay Bridge. I was in high school and at the time my sister was too young to join in . She wanted to help, 3 she made many chocolate chip cookies for me to 4 and hand out to people. When getting to the shelter, I passed out the 5. I began making sandwiches and shared them with the crowd. I had the containers with my sister’s cookies in them and began to walk around, offering them to anyone near me.
I walked 6 to an old gentleman and said, “Sir, would you like a cookie?” He stopped and turned around, looked at me 7 and said, “What did you say? Did you call me sir?” I told him I had , and his eyes 8 a little bit and said, “No one has ever called me sir.” So he was completely 9. It struck me.
I explained I had been raised that regardless of (不顾) 10 and social status（地位）, everyone deserved(值得）11. It saddened me to think that just because he was homeless, no one offered him the honor . It broke my heart. I just didn’t understand 12 no one ever called him sir. I had never thought that anyone was 13 me because I wasn’t raised that way. Every single person deserves to be treated with respect. Years later, I still carry that 14 and the lesson it taught me. Somtimes, what we take for granted can really make a difference in 15 life.

Mackenzie Hughes had just returned from school and was waiting for her older brothers to arrive home. She was home alone 1 a man started knocking on the front door, turning the handle and trying to 2.
She’s 12 years old and she was 3. So she dialed 9-1-1 and reached the operator Rachelle Berry. After a brief talk, Berry 4 what was happening. “OK, hang on, OK? Can you get in a 5 ?” Berry asked. Mackenzie told Berry that her phone --- it wasn’t cordless (无绳的) --- wouldn’t reach into the cupboard. “Will the phone reach under your bed?” Berry asked 6 . “No,” Mackenzie said.
“Can you hide under a 7 and pull your bedspread over you?” That’s 8 what Mackenzie did. She hid under her blanket, holding the phone and listening to Berry’s voice.
Berry talked quietly, which 9 Mackenzie. It helped, too, when Berry told her to think of something 10 . “Try not to cry,” Berry told Mackenzie during the call. “ I know it’s 11 . Do you have something you can hold onto?” Mackenzie struggled to 12 tears. She couldn’t 13 anything without showing her hiding spot. “ It’s OK,” Berry said. “You’ve got me here with you.”
“He’s in my room,” Mackenzie 14 . “Now be quiet, OK? Just don’t talk,” Berry said. For much of the call, Berry dropped her voice to a whisper, 15 the intruder (闯入者) might hear her voice over the phone. 16, the man came into her room, then left.
Berry told Mackenzie that the 17 were on their way. Minutes later, they arrived and 18 one man in the backyard and another man in a getaway car.
On Thursday morning, the Emergency Communications Bureau gave Mackenzie its Hero Award for her 19 . Berry also received high praise. And then it was off to school for Mackenzie. But first Berry had something to 20 to the middle-schooler: a cordless phone.

One of my fondest Christmas memories was also one of our family’s bleakest（最令人沮丧的）.We were just little kids, and on Christmas Day mom1us all around her to tell us, 2, that there would be no presents because all we really wanted was to3for our daddy. He was very sick. I don’t remember anything else except four little girls surrounding my mother, crying 4a miracle（奇迹）
At that very moment, someone5loudly on the door. 6Behind him was a merry group of soldiers from the Army base where my father7as a minister. News had8that we were in trouble, and his colleagues knew we needed some9.
With all the excitement ,even my dad10in a blanket to keep warm , came down and sat in front of a roaring fire in our room to watch his children be11by good Samaritans（乐善好施的人）. The presents were unwrapped, and we girls12packages and found a doll each and four board games.
What is 13to me is that I don’t even remember what sickness my father was suffering from.I14 remember an evening of laughter and15There were no expensive toys but priceless moments of friendship and fun given by young men who knew that a family was having a(n) rough time . They gave their time and their attention to little children who needed to laugh.
The most important thing in life aren’t things. And what about the true spirit of holidays? I hope we all are able to remember a thing about the holidays that stirs(搅动)our heart , that isn’t really a thing at all, but the smile on a child’s face because we take a moment to hug or wipe away a tear.

My childhood and adolescence were a joyous outpouring of energy, an endless pursuit for expression, skill, and experience. 1 was only a background to the great delight of lessons in music, dance, and dramatics.
Then one night at a high school dance, a remark, not intended for my 2, injured my youthful happiness: “That girl, what a pity she is blind.” Blind! A(n) 3 word that implied everything dark, blank and helpless. 4 I turned and called out, “Please don’t feel sorry for me, I’m having lots of fun.”5 the fun was not to last.
In college years, I began to struggle with the problem of earning a living. Part-time teaching of piano and occasional giving concerts proved only 6 sources of economic support. In terms of time and effort involved, the financial return was 7. Self-doubt and dark moods sparked within me. 8 to my misery was the repeated experience of knowing my sisters and friends dating excitedly. How 9 I was to my piano, 10 I could dissolve my frustration, accompanied by Chopin, Brahms, and Beethoven.
Then one day, I met a girl, an army nurse, whose faith was to change my life. As our acquaintance 11 into friendship, she sensed my 12. She said, “Stop knocking on closed doors. I know your opportunity will come. You’re trying too hard. Why don’t you relax? And have you ever tried 13?” The idea was strange to me. I had always believed that if you wanted 14, you had to go and get it for yourself. Yet, my sincerity and hard work had yielded poor returns, so I was 15 to try anything else. Self-consciously, I performed the daily practice of prayer. I said, “God, show me the 16 for which You sent me to this world.
In the years to follow, the answers began to arrive, satisfying 17 my most optimistic expectation. One of the answers was Enchanted Hills, where my 18 friend and I had the privilege of seeing blind children come alive in God’s out-of-doors. 19 are the sources of pleasure and comfort I have found in friendship, and most important of all, I 20 closer to God and, through Him, to immortality (永生).
