Tips to fight summer weight gain
When we think of summer，most of us think of outdoor fun．So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer---not gain it．In reality，though，summer isn‘t all beach volleyball and water sports．Lots of summer activities can work against our efforts to stay at a healthy weight．The good news is that it‘s easy to avoid problems if we know what to look out for．Here are 5 ways to beat summer weight gain：
（61）C When we don‘t have a plan，it‘s easy to spend summer moving from couch to computer，with regular stops at the fridge．Avoid this by setting a specific aim，like volunteering，mastering a new skill，or working at a job．Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!
（62）F With school out，we lose our daily routines．If you don‘t have a specific job or activity to get up for，it‘s easy to sleep late，watch too much TV，and snack more than usual．Make sure your summer days have some structure-like getting up at the same time each day and eating meals at set times．Plan activities for specific times，like exercising before breakfast，for example．If you have time on your hands，offer to make dinner a couple of nights a week so your family can enjoy a sit-down meal together．
（63）A When we‘re bored，it‘s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy．In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar，filling your days with stuff to do can give you a sense of accomplishment．That‘s especially true if a dream summer job or planned activity fell through．Limit your screen time-including TV，computer，and video games-to no more than 2 hours a day．
（64）B Don‘t let hot summer days prevent you from carrying out exercise plans．Move your workout indoors．If a gym isn‘t your scene，try bowling or an indoor climbing wall．If you love being outdoors，try joining a local pool or move a regular run or soccer game to early morning or evening．
（65）ESummer means picnics and barbecues-activities that revolve around an unlimited spread of food．Pace yourself．Don‘t overload your plate．Avoid going back for seconds and thirds．Choose seasonal，healthy foods like fresh fruit instead of high-sugar，high-fat desserts．Make catching up with family and friends your focus，not the food．Another good tip for summer eating is to limit frozen treats like ice cream to no more than once a week．

20．JK Rowling，the Harry Potter author，has signed a deal with Little，Brown and Company，to publish her first ever novel for adults，which is set to become one of the most anticipated （期望的） book in years．
The deal means that Rowling's long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury，the London-based publisher that launched （发行） the Harry Potter books，has come to an end，at 1east in terms of new works by the author．
Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book．She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series，which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone．She thought that with the move from children's to adult fiction，a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step．
She said，"Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much，this book will be very different from the Harry Potter series．The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry's success has brought me．"
Ian Rankin，the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city，suggested Rowling's book will be a crime novel．
"Wouldn't it be funny if JK Rowling's first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh？"he said．
Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than￡5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year．
A spokesman said，"JK Rowling's audience is vast and her position is unique．Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal．Children that were eight，nine，or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s．Plenty of adults，loved the books regardless of whether they had children，so the potential market for her is huge．"

18．The world is not coming to an end on December 21，2012，the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie．
The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture，2012，arrives in theaters on Friday，with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths （虚构的故事） backed by the Mayan calendar．It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X-or Nibiru-heads toward or collides with the Earth．
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet's existence，but the US space agency denounced such stories as an"Internet hoax（恶作剧）"．"There is no factual basis for these claims，"NASA said in a question and answer posting on its website．"If such a collision were real，astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade，and it would be visible by now to the naked eye．Obviously，it does not exist．Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，"it insisted．"After all，our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，"added NASA．
There is another planet，Eris，floating in space．But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth，according to NASA．
Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003，but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar．
NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21，2012，as another period begins immediately afterward．
And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast，the effect on our planet would be"negligible"，NASA said．
"And while comets and asteroids （小行星） have always hit the Earth，big hits are very rare，"NASA noted．The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs．
"We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，"the space agency said．
