My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that   21   men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them,   22  , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life    23  the fullest.

Recently, John lost his    24  Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last   25  . One day John took out a folded piece of   26  from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he   27   up some drawers at home.

It was a   28   love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls (潦草地写，乱涂) about her dream guy.   29   the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who   30   only had a few months left to live.

It was   31   a beautiful recipe (处方，食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s   32   of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”

“Helped me when I was ill.” The next   33  reads. After that she turned   34   the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has   35  with and loved most in her life. “  36   there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote   37   all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”

I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to   38  as Janet was to him. I need to   39   what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.

“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years – not to mention the sickness? How do I know   40  I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”

“You can.” he says quietly, “If you love her enough, you can.”

Do you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for  celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.

Here are some tips for preventing（阻止） weight gain and maintaining（维持） physical fitness: Don't skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.

Control the amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to "load up". You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist (拳头).

Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand (预先) on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.

Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk helps to burn off excess calories.

Avoid(避免) high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have large amount of fat. Choose lean meat (瘦肉).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.
