  Ray's wedding had gone off smoothly.Everyone seemed to have had a good time.A few people had too good a time; they went home with designated(指派的)drivers.All evening, the gift table remained unguarded.Who would steal anything, Ray thought.He had never heard of such a thing happening at a wedding.But his best friend Aaron said there was a first time for everything.He strolled out regularly from the inside festivities(庆祝)to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious was hanging around it.

  Ray and Julia went on a 3-week honeymoon to Italy right after the wedding.When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank-you notes.But there was one problem.A married couple that used to be good friends had apparently given nothing.This surprised Julia, because Walt and Mary said they were thrilled to be invited.And, they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding.Frankly, Ray didn't even care if they hadn't given a gift.He just needed to know whether to send a thank-you note.Ray called Aaron.Aaron said maybe Walt had left an envelope on the gift table like Aaron had.“Yes, but we got your envelope with the cash inside,” Ray said.

  “Maybe my envelope looked too thin, and some thief thought Walt's envelope looked nice and fat.”

  Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everwhere for Walt's gift.Had he called up the wedding site to see if anything been left behind? Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless.

  Ray didn't know what to do.If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadn't given, they would be insulted.If he didn't send them a thank-you note for a gift they had given, they would get angry.

  “What would you do?” Ray asked.Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem.

  “You can't go wrong with simply being honest,” Aaron said.

  “Oh, yes, you can,” Ray contradicted(反驳)him.“Sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie.” But he thought about it, and finally decided that Aaron was right.He called Walt and told him the problem.Walt said that yes, he had given an envelope.In fact, the envelope contained $500 cash.

  “$500?!” Ray asked.“That's a lot of cash, Walt!” Walt admitted that it was, but he had gotten a fat raise(加薪)early that year and Ray's was the only wedding he'd been to in quite a while.Ray thanked him very much, and apologized sincerely for someone stealing Walt's generous gift.Walt told him that it was “only money”.

  When Ray told Aaron about Walt's gift, Aaron laughed.“The only thief at the wedding was Walt! I quit playing cards with him last year because I caught him cheating.And it was only a $10 pot! I'm sure I told you about that.”

  “Yes, you did tell me,” Ray said.But, of course, he had to send Walt a thank-you note anyway.

When it comes to eating out, we can't help thinking of big meals in the restaurants, which usually contain much more fat and less fibers. Whether it is a business meeting over lunch or a fast food meal with the kids, eating out is a part of our lives. We eat out to save a lot of time, like grabbing a bite at fast food restaurants, or we take dining out as a favorite way to relax and socialize with friends.

    Eating out can be fun but many people still like eating at home more because it is healthier. When my dear wife does not prepare foods for me, I would rather cook some instant noodles and eat at home! However, we go out to eat once in a while for holidays or on special occasions.

Plan ahead and choose wisely, you will find foods that fit into your meal plan and make eating out both healthy and enjoyable.

    Here are some pointers to remember that can help you make wise choices when eating out: go for balance, watch portion sizes and drink water or low-fat milk. Keep the ground rules of good nutrition in mind. Eat a variety of foods in moderate(适中的)amounts, limit the amount of fat you eat, and watch the amount of salt in food. If you develop the skills to make healthy choices now, your body will thank you later.

    Eating out can be one of life's great pleasures. Make the right choices, ask for what you need, and balance your meals out with healthy meals at home. You can enjoy yourself and take good care of yourself at the same time.
