A New Mind-set
With teenagers at home, tempting foods were always around Mary Saltsman. But she made one change a week and the weight started to come off --- 18 pounds so far. And she’s thrilled about another positive benefit: Her kids have started imitating her healthy eating habits.
A New Way of life
Debra Outlaw’s ChangeOne journey began 116 pounds ago. Now, she is much healthier and more in control of her eating. “Staying with the plan consistently is key,” she says. “With dedication and perseverance, every temptation does not become a war.
Conquering Snacks
Snacking was getting Michael Krauss in trouble. “I’d open a bag of chips and just start in on them without even thinking about what they tasted like,” he said. “I never even took time to think about whether I was hungry.” On ChangeOne, he spent two weeks getting snacks under control. Once he did, he started to see results on the scale right away: After four weeks, he was down 13 pounds.
Feeling Good About Herself
Frustrated with her inability to lose weight and keep it off, Gail Davis wanted to try a weight-loss program. “I never had any faith in gimmicks (骗人的玩意儿) or fads,” she says. So she tried ChangeOne and now, 50 pounds lighter, she’s thrilled with her results.
Little Changes Make a Difference
“The secret for me was making the little changes one at a time and not thinking I had to change my diet and schedule all at once in a drastic way. I have lost 29 pounds, and now walk at least 6 days a week.”

Scary Bunny The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.
Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.
The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.
To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!

Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's a style to suit everyone
Best for young children LeapPad Explorer 2, 4 Aimed at children between three and nine (though a nine-year-old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad does not allow access to the internet -- so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate. Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director. Cons: Some of the games are shockingly expensive. And the power adaptor is not included. Best for teenagers iPad 4th generation, 399- 19 The iPad is still the market leader, and for good reason. If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose. Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ‘apps’ (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad. Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology. Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors.
Best for working parents Microsoft Surface, 399- 559 Tablets are brilliant for leisure -- but what if you want to do a bit of work No tablet can yet compete with a full-size laptop computer, but this is the only tablet that allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint (they are all pre-installed and included in the price) and you can buy a pretty lovely mini- keyboard for typing letters and emails, which also doubles up as the cover. Pros: The Surface is good for watching movies -- a bonus when stuck in the airport on a business trip -- and surfing the internet. Con: The keyboard is an expensive add-on -- costing up to 109. It might be cheaper to buy a laptop (though a tablet is much smaller and lighter). Best for bookworms Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, 109 Nearly all tablets let you download books. It's a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase. But most tablets have a shiny screen -- which can be very distracting when you're trying to read. The Paperwhite is different: its matt screen and crisp black lettering imitate the look of words on paper brilliantly. And yet you can still read the words in the dark. Pros: Easy on the eye, excellent battery life, 180,000 free books (if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service) plus hundreds of thousands more to buy. Cons: No TV, films, games, internet or camera.
1. The underlined phrase ‘stumble across’ most probably means “_________”.
A. meet with B. quarrel with C. compare with D. compete with
2. Which of the following about Surface is NOT TRUE
A. The keyboard will add to the cost.
B. The keyboard can serve as a cover.
C. You have to pay extra to install Microsoft Word.
D. You can watch movies or surf the Internet with it.
3. If you are a game lover, which tablet is least likely to be your choice
A. LeapPad Explorer 2. B. iPad 4th generation.
C. Microsoft Surface. D. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.
