As we were ________on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them stared at the walls or floor. However, one lady ________my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn’t________like that. As we got________ with each song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. ________ she was singing, she was also________ out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my ________ were to my students. People who worked at the care center could attend to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling ________about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.

Justin also ________the same lady. The difference between us is that he________on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her eyes and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my________to let you know that.”

This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek(脸颊) with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No ________can completely describe that touching moment...

American nutrition expert Professor Barry Popkin says that the number of overweight people in the world is now bigger than the number of people who don’t have enough to eat. A billion people worldwide now weigh too much and the number of obese people is now more than 300 million. “Obese” means at least 15 kilos heavier than you should be. However, there are also 800 million people in the world who don’t have enough to eat.

Professor Popkin says that the number of hungry people is falling slowly but the number of overweight people is rising fast. The main reasons for this are:

● People are doing less hard physical work

● More people worldwide now eat too much fatty food

● Too many people are driving cars instead of walking

● People spend too much time in front of a television

The United States has the highest rate of obesity in the developed world and Japan has the lowest. Professor Benjamin Senauer is absolutely certain of the reasons for this.

“Japanese people are fit. They use public transport and walk,” he said. “The average American drives to work and drives to supermarket. When he gets home, he sits on a couch in front of the TV and eats junk food.”

In Britain and many other European countries, there are three times as many obese people as there were 20 years ago. About two thirds of British adults are overweight or obese. “The effects of this are clear,” said London doctor Elena Power. “We have more illnesses related to weight and fewer fit people.

China used to be one of the slimmest nations in the world. However, Professor Wu Yangfeng from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing recently estimated (估计)that 20 percent of the world’s overweight people live in China. The Chinese government is especially worried about the increase in obesity among schoolchildren.

“We have a serious problem,” said Professor Wu. “It requires an improvement from everyone, or it will get worse.
