Tips on Making a Decision
Decision-making never ends. It is an important part of everyday life, and it is how we choose our path.   【小题1】 Sometimes we leave things to luck. Other times we take a more active role. Here are some of the ways we usually make decisions.
◆ Make a list of pros and cons（利与弊）. When you try to make a difficult decision, you can take out a piece of paper, and then list the pros and cons of each choice.   【小题2】 
◆ Ask a friend.  【小题3】 While I don’t think this is always true, I can see how friends can point out certain things that we may be unaware of. By getting a choice from a third party who knows us well, we can get good ideas that we didn’t take into consideration before.
◆ 【小题4】 Some decisions require that we know more about the subject we are deciding on. Making a choice without first doing some research can turn things into a nightmare（噩梦）, so don’t hurry. Take your time to search Google or Wikipedia or find a forum（论坛）to ask a couple of questions. Be careful and check your sources.
◆ Go to an expert. Seldom are we the most knowledgeable person on a particular subject. Our friends can sometimes be no better.  【小题5】 Investing（投资）? Talk to a market analyst. Feeling depressed? Go to see a psychologist. Not sure how to write a book? Discuss tips with other authors.

No one could name themselves when they were born. That is,     has his or her name given by others. So we needn’t care too much about our names, which are just      . They are used to refer to you. Though your parents probably meant your name to last a lifetime, never forget that the hopes and dreams they cared for may not      your needs. If your name no longer seems to fit you, don’t lose heart. Screen stars      change their names, and with some determination, you can, too.

Legal rules are more      in this matter than you may expect. Many newlyweds,     , realize that no law requires a woman to      her husband’s name. Even more, parents can give their children any name they wish,      it’s not that of either parent.

If you do wish to have a new name, you don’t need to make the change     . Under common law,      is necessary to start using the name of your choice. More importantly, you     to use it everywhere.    , you must change all your identification and     . Be sure to practice your new      until you write it naturally and     .

Making friends and fellow workers      you Leach instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork involved, and you are      to meet official resistance, too. Whatever happens, be sure that no law should      you from using the name you have chosen,      you use it for the purpose of cheating. Please enjoy your right to be called by      name you choose!

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice-cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children will buy less take away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an pastime(消遣), it also give them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
【小题1】According to the passage, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success.

Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. ___【小题4】___
Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period．___【小题5】___ For this reason, a few weeks spent ‘hostelling’ can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.
