Frank W. Woolworth was born in Rodman,New York,in 1852. His family was very poor farmers,and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for displaying goods to arouse people's interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends(小商品)for as much as he could get.Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said: FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

Soon afterwards,Woolworth opened his own store,selling goods at five and ten cents.But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is,if you want to make money by selling low-price goods,you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories.Once,for example,Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way,the price of the knives was cut down by half.

By 1919, Woolworth had over 1,000 stores in the USA and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always ran his business according to strict rules,of which the most important was:"THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT."

Perhaps everyone has heard warnings about the “freshman 15”, but is it true that many college students weigh 15 pounds more during their first year at school?

Recent studies find that some first-year students are indeed likely to gain weight, but it might not be the full freshman 15, and it may not all happen during the freshman year. That might sound like good news, but it’s not. Doctors are concerned that students who gradually put on pounds could have healthy problems.

Studies show that students on average gain 3-10 pounds during their first 2 years of college. Most of this weight gain occurs during the first year. A college offers many temptations (诱惑). You’re on your own and free to eat what you want. In addition, you may not get as much exercise as you did in high school. A college is also a time of change, and people sometimes eat in response to (对……做出反应) homesickness, sadness, or stress, and all of these can be part of starting a new life in college.

Some weight gain is normal as a young body grows, but rapid weight gain may become a problem. Weight gain that pushes you above the body’s normal range carries health risks. People who are overweight are more likely to have high blood pressure, heart disease and develop certain cancers.

The best way to beat “freshman 15” is to prevent it altogether. Good habits like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep can do more than keeping the pounds off. They can also help you stay healthy.

1. The “freshman 15” refers to the fact that the first-year college students ________.

   A. are likely to gain much weight    B. can’t get used to living in college

C. may have 15 health problems    D. gradually put on weight in 15 weeks

2. According to the writer, the causes of “freshman 15” don’t include ________.

   A. getting less exercise          B. being free to eat food

C. feeling homesick            D. having more subjects.

3. What is the best way to beat “freshman 15”?

   A. To ask doctors for advice.        B. To pay attention to your lessons.

C. To stop it from happening.        D. To do a lot exercise every day.

4. What can we learn from the text?

   A. Getting less sleep can help people lose weight gradually.

B. Overweight people usually have more health risks.

C. Weight gain is becoming serious among college students.

D. Students gain more weight in the second year than in the first.
