I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me.I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride,today,Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

         “No ! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.

         My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later.I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.

    When I reached the hospital,my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive.“ Your lather told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911,thank God! If he had moved Daddy,there’s no telling what might have happened.A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung….”

         My mother may have said more,but I didn’t hear.I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words:Leave me alone.My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more.How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation.I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

         “Daddy… I am so sorry….”

“It’s okay,sweetheart.I'll be okay.”

         “No,”I said,“I mean about what I said to you that day.You know, that morning?”

         My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly.He looked at me and said.“Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day,  not before,during or after the accident.I remember kissing you goodnight the night before,though.”He managed a weak smile.

    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power.They can hurt or they can heal.And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。

________1._______________: less red meat and more fibre, less saturated fat(饱和脂肪) and more fruit and veg, right? Wrong, according to a controversial new book by nutritionist Zoe Harcombe.In the book, Harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin (巩固)dietary advice — and her myth(误区)-breaking conclusions are surprising.                                

 Myth: ________2._________.

‘Real fat is not bad for us,’ says ¬Harcombe. ‘It’s man-made fats we should be demonising. Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? In a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.

Myth: We should eat more fibre.

For three decades, we have eaten fibre into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving. ______3.________, says Harcombe.

The advice to eat more fibre is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our ¬digestive systems. But essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines(肠道), so why do we want to wash everything out? Concentrate on not putting bad foods in.

Myth: You need to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day.

‘Five-a-day is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice,’ says ¬Harcombe. ‘You’d think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit. _______4._______

‘Five-a-day started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and veg companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991. There was no evidence for any cancer benefit.’

Myth: Fruit and veg are the most nutritious things to eat.

Apparently not. Harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to the diet — if served in butter to deliver the fat-soluble(dissolved) vitamins they contain — but ¬natural sugar, the fruit sugar in fruit, goes straight to the liver and is stored as fat.

__________5.____________, says Harcombe, who adds: ‘Vitamins and minerals in animal foods — meat, fish, eggs and dairy products — beat those in fruit hands down.’

A. want to lose weight ? Don’t trust these.

B. We think we know what to eat.

C. This is not a good idea.

D. Fat is bad for us

E. Think again

F. We need take more exercise

G. Fruit is best avoided by those trying to lose weight
