I’m Bob Watson, one of the customers in your grocery store. I’m writing to express my idea about your goods.

Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways. First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. Second your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I don’t like to make two trips. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. If I could find all the items I need in one place, I would be a more satisfied customer.

Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.

I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.

Yours truly,

Bob Watson

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years. It came sudden and went on for over three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window. As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall. When I come back into the house, it was raining more harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I ran out to find out that had happened, a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom .

Your body stores fat as a way to help protect you against starvation if you can’t take in enough food. However, your fat reserve isn’t the first place your body goes for food. Instead, it reaches out for sugar for energy. 【1】

Hunger is normally a reflection that your body has used up energy from recent food you ate and has moved onto getting energy from sugar in your blood. 【2】 The more sugar you take in, the more fuel your body has to use before it reaches out to the fat stores. If your body doesn’t have enough sugar to supply the energy it needs, it begins to burn fat when you’re hungry instead.

Missing meals and going hungry can change your metabolism (新陈代谢) so it stores fat instead of burning it. 【3】 However, if you skip meals for several days and severely lower your calorie (卡路里) intake, your body begins to store as much fat as possible.

【4】 Your body burns up sugar stored in your system and begins to burn fat as you continue to exercise. However, exercising when you’re hungry won’t help you burn fat faster. A recent study shows that the body burns the same amount of fat regardless of whether you are hungry when you exercise.

Staying hungry all day won’t necessarily help you burn fat, but cutting calories is key to losing weight. 【5】 Snack (吃点心) in between meals to keep your metabolism working all day, which helps it burn more fat than if it’s allowed to slow down when it’s not meal time. Snacking in between meals can help you control your meal sizes at meal time.

A. Exercise is key to burning fat.

B. You shouldn’t cut out food to cut calories.

C. This doesn’t happen in a day of missing meals.

D. Just being hungry doesn’t mean your body is burning fat.

E. If you take in less food than your body burns, you’ll lose weight.

F. Your body stores sugar in case you need it when you feel hungry.

G. Eat five or six small meals throughout the day instead of three large ones.

During my recent travels in China, I went from the top to the bottom of the country. I was astonished at 【1】 different the weather was in different cities.

The weather was 【2】 (freeze) cold in Harbin, but felt much warmer in Shanghai, Guilin, Qingdao and Yangshuo. Each place has a different feel and allows you 【3】 (experience) different things.

In Qingdao, we ate seafood, drank beer and even swam in the sea. In Harbin, we wore our warmest jackets and saw the 【4】 (amaze) ice and snow sculptures (雕塑).

Shanghai reminded me 【5】 a city in Europe or America. There are lots of Western cafes.

Guilin was a good place to be touring around during Spring Festival. Fireworks 【6】 (fill) the sky and the streets were busy with happy people. I visited several old buildings and walked around a beautiful lake.

But Yangshuo 【7】 (be) my favorite place so far. I could not stop taking 【8】 (photo) of the beautiful mountains and the Lijiang River. I rode a bicycle along the Yulong River in the warm sun. I ate strawberries and drank tea that came from farms in the mountains.

Now, I am back in Beijing. I am looking forward to 【9】 next trip. I think I 【10】 (go) to another warm place!.
