If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.
Some doctors now think that the internal(内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.
“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said  Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.
According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits(储蓄,沉淀物)of internal fat, even if they are slim.
Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.
According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.
Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.
The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle.” Bell said.

It was already dark when an old man arrived at a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had entered his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his luggage, dear. It’s heavy and the old man is so careful about it that he takes it wherever he goes. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal some when he is asleep.”
“No, no,” said the woman. “He must search for what was gone tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his luggage away.” “How clever you are! My dear.” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”
The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up and hurried to the room that the old man lived in, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bags. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.” “No, no,” said the woman. “I don’t think so. The forgetful grass does always work. He must have forgot something.” “Oh, I’ve remembered!” The owner cried out suddenly, “He forgot…”
The owner and his wife put the forgetful grass into the food because _______.

According to the passage the old man forgot _______.

Thanksgiving time came and all the relatives were gathered around the long table, or seated behind TV trays．The television was on and some folks were watching it while talking with one another．Something on television got their attention and one of the adults said, "Listen at it!" Someone else replied．"Well, if that don't beat all．"
Simple phrases were spoken by folks whose language was simple and brief．They had several idioms that were just as colorful phrases and words that brightened the room and warmed the conversation．In school we were taught to speak differently．The way our relatives spoke was discouraged．Sometimes our parents would say things we weren't taught in school．They'd often correct themselves, as if getting rid of a mistake．Of course we learned some of their phrases and used them．They were comfortable words to pronounce, familiar．
Our father's side of the family was from Arkansas and Oklahoma and they spoke with the accents native to their birth states．Their voices musical and often high , it was easy to pick up that effect in our own speech and at school my brother and I were often teased for the way we spoke．Our mother's side of the family came from Illinois and they had a tendency to talk fast．They had an accent, too, and my brother and I added that to our own speech, confusing the kids at school all the more．Our father's side of the family loved to laugh and have a good time．Our mother's side of the family was more serious about how they took life in; their joys more silently experienced and enjoyed．It was a rich picture of culture and it gave my brother and me a colorful view in life．
Thanksgiving holiday was always an easy comfortable going day．It was the first real holiday of the season when everyone came together in one place, and a good time was spent happily together by all．
From the text we can know that ___________．

It can be inferred from the text that ________．

Why did the writer and his brother puzzle other kids at school by their speeches?

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Accommodation Zones
Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.
Meal Plans Available
♢Continental Breakfast
♢Breakfast and Dinner
♢Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物类食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.
The passage is probably written for________.

Which of the following will the host provide?

What can be inferred from Paragraph3?

Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?

I hate spiders, flies, ants and heights…But one of my greatest          was riding a bike due to my deformed (畸形的)feet. The good news is that I can            even though my parents were told at my birth that walking was impossible. In spite of this, my dad was still          to get me on a bike. Unfortunately, on the first          I fell, breaking a bone. I became            . Eight years later I had a strong           to ride. So I went for bicycle riding lessons and by my second hour I could ride. I could not            that I , Hannah, was riding a bike without falling!
I knew that I would          let fear win and not try to ride, or try again and potentially fall. I wasn’t going to allow fear to          from doing something          is so easy for others to learn.
Just a few days later, I really was on top of the world.         , I was 15,000 feet in the air and ready to jump out of an airplane. I            my parents to let me go skydiving as an 18^th birthday present. My            , Alex, named me the “Rule Breaker” after I told him about my physical      . As we boarded the plane, he whispered, “All right Hannah, let’s            some rules together.” When we reached 15,000 feet, Alex and I were the first people            the airplane.
No matter what disability, disorder or other          tries to rob you, it is not for them to determine what you can and cannot do; it is up to YOU to                your future. So take a healthy             and be your own rule breaker. I am no longer Hannah who is             ; I am Hannah who jumped out of a plane and can ride a bike. I can and so can you!

I teach economics at UNLV. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. ________He then asked me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said.“________”
“Let me give you an example,” I continued. This university is 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. ________I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I put my flashers on and marched down the road to the college.”
“As soon as I got there .I arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. A teacher asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling at her. ‘________What do you mean?’ She continued to ask. ‘I live 17 miles from here. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class and arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. I explained to her. ”
“Her eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. ________” So ended my story.
I scanned the sixty faces. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. In fact, it had all started with a student’s observation that I was cheerful.

E. One’s life depends on one’s attitude.
F. Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?
G. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good.

Concerned about it, my classmates and I had a    discussion on how      (solve) the problem.  Lots of good ideas came up, such as holding class meetings, putting up wall newspapers and charging a fine for wasting food. Finally we all agreed that wall newspapers would be      (good ) choice.
The next day, we put our idea into reality. Towards lunch time, we put up a wall newspaper outside the school cafeteria,      (call) on students not to waste food. Many students gathered around to read and expressed their support. To my great delight, there were changes soon. In the cafeteria, I found the trays    (return) after lunch all empty   any leftover. Food was saved and the dining hall was cleaner.    ( see )this, I felt relieved and took pride in     we had done.
