17．What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn't prerequisite for a modern grow-your-own lifestyle．On a mere 1/10of an acre in Los Angeles，Loe and her family grow，can（装罐）and preserve much of the food they consume．
Loe is a master food preserver，gardener and canning expert．She also operates a website，where she shares her tips and recipes，with the goal of demonstrating that every has the ability to control what's on their plate．
Loe initially went to school to become an engineer，but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food．"I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs （香草） and foods for that fresh flavor，"she said．Engineer by day，Loe learned cooking at night school．She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods．
"I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm，"Loe said．Through her website Loe emphasizes that"anybody can do this anywhere．"Got an apartment with a balcony （阳台）？Plant some herbs．A window？Perfect spot for growing．Start with herbs，she recommends，because"they're very forgiving．"Just a little of the herbs"can take your regular cooking to a whole new level，"she added．"I think it's a great place to start．""Then？Try growing something from a seed，she said，like a tomato or some tea．"
Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does．With every planted food，Loe noted，there's a moment when it's bursting with its absolute peak flavor．"I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar，"Loe said．"Canning for me is about knowing what's in your food，knowing where it comes from．"
In addition to being more in touch with the food she's eating，another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children："Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture，"she said，"that if we don't take care of the earth，no will．"

16．Why Exercise Is Cool？

3．Exercise Keeps the Balance
（38）B Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function，breathe，walk around，and do all the basic stuff．（39）G If you're not very active，your body won't need as many calories．
Whatever your calorie need is，if you eat enough to meet that need，your body weight will stay about the same．If you eat more calories than your body needs，it may be stored as extra fat．
4．Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong，flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy-like running，jumping，and playing with your friends．It's also fun to be good at something，like scoring a basket，hitting a home run，or perfecting a dive．
But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood．（40）C．It's just another reason why exercise is cool!

A．So you want to do some aerobic （有氧的） exercise right now？

15．How to Make Friends
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends．Good friendship has many benefits．It offers companionship，improves self-worth and promotes good health．There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town，or changed our jobs or schools．Such changes often leave us without a friend （36）EBut for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage．Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends．
1．Associate with others．
The first step to making friends is associating with other people．You can go to public places to meet new people．Besides，you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places．
2．Start a conversation
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends．（37）CYou
can always start the conversation．Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people．
3．（38）B
Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together，Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience．
4．Let it grow．
It is a good thing to stay in touch．However，try not to press your new friend with calls，messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend．
（39）G．The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally．
5．Enjoy your friendship
The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves．（40）DTry not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be．Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you．

14．Driving with GPS Can Cause Difficulties
Global Positioning System （GPS） is now a part of everyday driving in many countries．It is a space-based system that provides position and time information in all weather conditions．GPS can help people get to where they want to go．（56）D When this happens，the driver is often to blame．Sometimes a GPS error is responsible．Most often，it is a combination of the two．
（57）A Barry Brown，a GPS technologist，took an incident as an example．His friend once flew to an airport in the eastern United States．There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use．He wrongly plugged in the home address in the west．It wasn't until he was driving for thirty minutes that he realized it．Mr．Brown says this is a common human error．But he says，"One problem is that GPS has a very small screen and it can just tell you the next turn．（58）B"
"The Normal and Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS"lists several areas where GPS can cause difficulties．They include maps that are outdated，incorrect or difficult to understand．（59）E GPS may fail due to these reasons and then lead to confusion for the drivers．
Although GPS sometimes causes difficulties when people are driving，the most attractive point of this system is its 100% coverage on the planet．It is important for you to have to know what you are doing when you use GPS．You need to have the"ability"to be able to use GPS because it sometimes goes wrong．（60）G

G．To make GPS well used，you need a good understanding of how drivers and GPS work．

13．Don't worry．I will try my best to protect you frombeing hurt（hurt）

12．A strong memory depends on the health and vitality （活力） of your brain．They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks，but when it comes to the brain，scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true．（36）G
Give your brain a workout．Memory，like muscular strength，requires you to"use it or lose it"．The more you work out your brain，the better you'll be able to process and remember information．（37）F
Don't skip the physical exercise．While mental exercise is important for brain health，that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat．Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp．It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss．
Get enough sleep．There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best．（38）E
Keep stress in check．Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies．Over time，stress destroys brain cells．Studies have also linked stress to memory loss．
Have a laugh．（39）C That holds true for the brain and the memory，as well as the body．Unlike emotional responses，which are limited to specific areas of the brain，laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain．
（40）AJust as the body needs fuel，so does the brain．You probably already know that a diet based on fruits，vegetables，whole grains，"healthy"fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits，but such a diet can also improve memory．For brain health，though，it's not just what you eat-it's also what you don't eat．

A．Eat a brain-boosting diet．
B．Play games with memory．
C．Laughter is the best medicine．
D．But oversleeping is not good for your brain．
E．Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!
F．You have to shake things up from time to time!
G．The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change．
