Bill was a boy of 15. His parents went gambling(赌博) day and night. Nobody cared about him. He always failed in his exams. So his teachers didn't like him, nor did his classmates play with him.
Bill often slept in class because his heart was not in school. He almost gave himself up.
One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill's class. She was a smiling, beautiful woman. Bill was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn't take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed.

Although I was never a thin girl, I was always fit because I played basketball from the 5th grade right through college. But after graduation, I got married and gave up playing basketball. Then I started eating too much. In 10 years, my weight increased from 175 to 245 pounds. What was even worse, my son picked up a bad eating habit. As a four-year-old boy, he liked having French fries because he often saw me put those things into my mouth.
I read an article in my husband's health magazine. It said that being too fat can shorten a person's life by five to ten years. That was scary. I didn't want to leave my son because of my poor eating habits. After that, every time I wanted to have French fries, I would think that I could be here a little bit longer if I just ate better.
One of my friends told me that an organization was offering a free course to help people lose weight, so I decided to join it. The teacher gave each type of food a certain number of calories(卡路里), and how many calories we needed to eat a day. After I came home from the first class, I calculated(计算)the calories of food in my meal. If I wanted, I could have pizza every night. But when I learned that one piece had a lot of calories, I decided not to eat as many pieces as I wanted.
Finally, I succeeded in losing 50 pounds. In February, 2012, I was on the cover of a health magazine. And my husband always told other people that I looked better than ever.
16. How many pounds in weight did the writer increase in 10 years
A. 50 pounds. B. 70 pounds.
C. 120 pounds. D. 175 pounds.

18. According to her husband's health magazine, being too fat can ________.
A. help women give birth to babies
B. shorten a person’s life by years
C. help people live a little bit longer
D. be fit for playing some sports
