I was in a strange (陌生的) town. I didn’t know anyone, and I could not speak a word of the language. On the second day, I got on a bus. After riding for a few stops, I got off and walked on. I felt happy enough in the first three hours, then I decided to walk back to my hotel for lunch. After walking around for half an hour, I thought I should ask the way. The problem was that I only knew the name of the street and I pronounced (发音) it badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper seller. He gave me a paper. I shook my head (摇头) and said the name of the street again. But he gave me another paper. I had to give him some money and went on my way. Then I met a policeman and asked the way. He listened to me carefully. He said something and pointed (指) left and right and left again. I thanked him and began walking in the direction (方向) he pointed.

About an hour later, I found the houses became fewer and fewer. I came to the countryside! The only thing for me to do was to find the nearest train station.

Everyone may meet a person like this.He can eat more than his usual amount of beer,an Italian pizza,an ice cream,and a big sweet cookie.The next morning he remains to be there without putting on a pound in weight. A new study shows that people’s bodies act to the same food in very different ways.“Even if you give two people just the same diet(饮食),they won’t necessarily weigh the same.”says Dr.Judith Kroner,director at the Weight Control Center at Columbia University Medical Center.

Good genes(基因)work greatly.You think you eat the healthy diet,but you are still not happy with the way your body looks when you keep your healthy diet,that is because of your mom and dad.Dr.Kroner says your gene decides your weight first.If you try to change that weight,your body surely fights against it.

You may feel surprised that some people around you are thin,though they eat much.That’s because they’re eating less energy foods.It can look like someone’s eating a lot ,they have a big bowl in front of them, but the bowl may be full of vegetables,chicken,and no spices(调料).It looks like they’re just eating and eating and eating,but their foods are lower in energy

than you think.Now you see,when people say they eat whatever they want without putting on weight.They’re not lying.

So please remember,the best diet is always the one that works for you,not someone else’s plan.
