     Every day, about one-quarter of American adults eat at fast-food restaurants. Cheap, tasty, and
convenient, fast food is rich in fat and calories, and it's low in fiber and nutrients. Thanks in large part
to fast food, half of America's adults and one-quarter of its children are fat, double the rate of a
generation ago. In the past two decades, eating habits have changed as people pay more attention to
their health. However, many Americans continue to eat red meat (beef in particular) as well as pork,
chicken and other foods. Although beer and wine are popular in most areas, many Americans abstain
from alcohol, because they think they will become healthier without drinking it. Various kinds of mineral
water are commonly available.
     Eating styles and habits vary between people of different backgrounds, but Americans generally eat
with the fork in the hand with which they write. A knife is used for cutting and spreading; otherwise, it is
laid on the plate or table. Fast foods, such as chips, fried chicken, hamburgers, and pizza, tend to be
eaten with the fingers. There is an obvious difference between what people may do at home or in a
fast-food restaurant, and how they act in a more formal restaurant. Because both parents often work
outside the home, some Americans are less likely to sit down as a family to eat once the children are
older and able to prepare their own food or serve themselves.

     It is not so easy to disagree with your parents. Here are a few quick tips on how to show your opinion
in the right way.
       1    Don't let angry words fly out of your mouth if you don't really want to say them, or you will have
a lot of work to do later.
        2    How would you feel if you were your mother or father? Why do they do that? Is it really bad?
Try to stay calm. If you find yourself getting too angry, ask for soft time to be alone.   3  
Learn to listen. Maybe your parents aren't as persuasive (具有说服力的) as you think.  4   .
Pay attention to needs rather than problems.   5   Tell your parents that you want to discuss the problem
with them rather than work against them.

     Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do - especially in tight job market. Bob
Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every
day. "It's amazing how many candidates cross out themselves," he says.
     "Resumes (简历)arrive with faults. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name
correctly. Once I see a mistake, I cross out the candidates," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take
care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"
     Can we pay too much attention to details? Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of
something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield,
the professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "We must constantly ask ourselves how the
details we're working on fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop them and move to
something else."
     Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon
launch was slightly off course 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still
likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as
necessary." Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
     Too often we believe what accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break.
But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp
well, large rewards follow.

     Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of
guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.   1   .
    Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.   2  . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
    So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:
    Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body
do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.
That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have
non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.    3   .
    Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques
(体形) don't just happen.    4   . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
      Respect your body! Practicing good habits -regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and
skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on -can help you build a positive body image. 
       5   . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and
all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

     Today, almost everyone has heard of Harry Potter. The books detailing his experiences at Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have aroused passion, creativity, and interest in reading throughout the world.
    But have you ever considered why you are a fan of the Harry Potter series?
    JK Rowling has created a list of characters and an environment for them to inhabit that appeals to both
adults and children.
The fantasy aspect of the wizarding world expands the imagination, and takes the mind to new and exciting places. Anything could happen there. Her stories contain parts of the believable and unbelievable, changing the predictability that readers commonly come across and bear in fiction.
The main theme of the series, including good versus evil, prejudice, love, death, sacrifice, friendship and
loyalty, in actuality contributes to the ever-lasting nature of the stories. At the same time, these themes
remind us of classic literature, offering mature readers tales that wear like a comfortable pair of shoes,
while introducing younger readers to concepts they will meet throughout their lives.
    Much of the appeal also comes from the characters. In each book, JK Rowling introduces and
describes the characters in such a way that we wonder not only about their futures, but also about their
pasts. Even supporting characters are suddenly more than just extras in the background. And what of
Harry Potter himself? We care about Harry, because we watch him grow from an innocent boy to a
powerful wizard. We see him as both Hero and Victim. He experiences endless love and extreme pain,
and as readers, we experience them with him.
   This perfect combination of emotion, suspense and fantasy, together with the fact that JK Rowling is a
superb storyteller is the reason why we are Harry potter fans. People are fond of Harry Potter series.
With books like these, it's hard not to be.

     How to keep healthy? It's easy for us to catch a cold in winter and spring because the weather
