Let's it explore expressions with the word “ bullet”. A bullet is 【1】 you shoot out of gun. That used to be the way to destcribe the speed of the auperhero 一Supennan— he is “ faster than a speeding bullet.” Now very fast truins 【2】 ( call) “bullet trains” . Bullets are not only known for their speed. They are also known for their ability to kill. 【3】 ,not all bullets are bud. A silver bullet is something that solves a difficult problem easily.

To ease the pain of a difficult situation, people are sometimes asked to bite the bullet. What is die origin of this expression? The story may go back to the American Civil War 【4】 even curlier. During the Civil War, pain-killing drugs were often hard 【5】 (find). So,doctors working on the battlefield 【6】 (give) their patients a piece of wood to squeeze or something soft to bite on. Many times the 【7】 ( near) thing was a lead bullet. Hollywood movies helped to keep this expression dive. In old westerm movies, more than one cowboy was seen biting a bullet 【8】 removing an arrow from his body. In moderm conversations, “【9】 (bite) the bullet" means to accept a difficult decision or situation.

If you want to perfeet your English, there is no silver bullet. You must【10】 ( simple)practice and study us much as you can.

There are a number of theories to account【2】overeating. One factor depends on the time of day. “It’s all part of a routine,” says Randy Seeley,【3】professor of psychiatry in Cincinnati. “You’re hungry at noon because that’s the time you 【4】(eat)lunch for the past 100 days.” Another reason we may eat more than necessary is that the body needs to satisfy a salt and sugar balance. Drinking alcohol also increases appetite, because the body wants something 【5】(absorb) the alcohol.

【6】(basic), overeating can also be a question of more biological factors. For instance, your body temperature can tell your brain that you feel hungry. “Your body temperature【7】(drop) when it’s time to eat, and eating warms you up,” says Gina Harlow, a paediatrics professor at Harvard University. Also, the smell of certain foods can make us imagine subconsciously the pleasure of eating【8】. Harlow adds, “If you know you love French fires, 【9】(smell)them will make you want to eat them because you know how good they are,【10】 can lead to eating too many.”

So, the next time you realize you’ve eaten too much, don’t worry about it. You can always blame it on science.
