When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely lame and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on, nor did he say anything about it.
It was difficult to coordinate(协调) our steps—his pausing, my impatience—and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”
Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite bad weather. He almost never misseda day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. A matter of pride.
When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, NY, on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
When I think of it now, I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. Andat how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did heshow any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a“good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don't have one myself.
My father has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy Iwas, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about incident, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”

What Is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overallwell-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and ourfeelings.
One of the biggest myths about emotionaleating is that it’s caused by negative feelings.Yes, peopleoften turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored.But emotionaleating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharingdessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.Sometimesemotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce.
Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is givencandy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a jobwell done. It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns ofemotional eating.But it ispossible.And it startswith an awareness of what’s going on.
We’re all emotional eaters to a degree.But for somepeople emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain orother problems.The troublewith emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelingsthat cause it remain. That’s why it helps to know the differencebetween physical hunger and emotional hunger.
Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which typeof hunger is driving it.
A.Believe it ornot, we’ve all been there.
B.If a cryingboy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.
C.One studyfound that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.
D.And you oftenmay feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.
E.Understandingwhat drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.
F.Boys seem toprefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.
G.More often,though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seekcomfort in food.

【题目】One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.

Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers (传单), and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.

Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.

“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.

The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.” Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window.
