3.How Not to Be Awkward
Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm.(36)F   This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process.So,what can a person do to overcome this
tendency to be awkward Let's try to find answers to the questions.
Stay in shape and dress up well
Sometimes,awkwardness could be due to being overweight.When you are large in size,you tend to get very self-conscious.So,in order to avoid this,get into the habit of exercising every day.(37)B   If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980's film when actually it is 2011,there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward
about yourself
Be optimistic
Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face.(38)D   On the other
hand,a smiling,happy and positive think person is appreciated by everybody.So,smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers,say a cheerful"Hi!"and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!
Participate in team activities
This one really helps.Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others.So,in order to change this situation,join groups.(39)C   Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness.Choose any activity of your choice,such as playing team sports or joining a dance
class,and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!
Develop your personality
Being a book-worm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere.For self-improvement,take up a hobby that
adds meaning to your life.Learn singing or try adventure sports.(40)E

A.Learn how to end a conversation.
B.Secondly,have appropriate clothes on.
C.For instance,if you are a reading lover,join a book club.
D.If you look sad,nobody will actually like being with you.
E.Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too.
F.Many among us are shy and may even feel kept apart from others.
G.Awkwardness could be because you do not have anything in common to talk about.
2.It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar,but new research suggests a glass a day cold form part of a diet.Looking at past studies they found that,while heavy drinkers do put on weight; those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says,"Light to moderate alcohol intake,especially of wine,may be more likely to protect against,rather than promote,weight gain."The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions,particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.
Boston University's Dr.Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制)  relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood.His team pointed out  the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病),which relate to increasing obesity.Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat,and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods.They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks,taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases one's risk of becoming obese.What's more,a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol,a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.

19.How to Manage Your Phone's Data Use
Smart phones give you access to a wealth of information and media,but most networks put a limit on the amount of data you can use each month.A typical phone contract includes a data allowance of between 500MB and 10GB per month.(36)A You see,your usage can mount up surprisingly quickly-watching a film on the phone is about 700 MB in SD,an hour of streaming TV is around 500 MB or 60-140 MB for the same of radio,chatting on Skype for an hour is around 40 MB.(37)C  
•If possible,wait until you can connect to free Wi-Fi before using your phone's data features.
•When you are on the road,use your car's GPS,not your phone,to find the way.(38)F But maps are preloaded in a GPS,making this free to use.
•(39)G Many of these are funded by ads that pop up on your screen.Every ad has to download through your network,using up your data allowance.
•If you regularly need to use a lot of data on your phone,consider a data-compressing(压缩) app,such as Onavo(www.onavo.com).(40)D So you use less of your monthly allowance.You may have to subscribe to such compression services,so you'll need to weigh up whether it's worth the cost.

A.The more data,the higher the monthly cost.
B.Remember to use free Wi-Fi anywhere you go.
C.Try these tips to better manage your data use.
D.It compresses data before it is fed to your phone.
E.But you might end up paying more than expected.
F.The phone has to download map data as you move.
G.Be careful of how many"free"games you play on the phone.
