     It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟)rings in my ears.I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom.I turn on the light and put on my glasses.The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully.Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my 
favorite exercise DVD, Insanity.Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes.My heart races as I force
my body to finish each movement.As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired,but a smile is on my face.It's not a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its
extreme limit.
     Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate.But I need exercise to get
through each day.Some shake heads when they see me run through the town.Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake.They raise their eyebrows,surprised by my "no
thank you," or by my choice to have a salad.Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say "no." I
shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
     So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5∶00 a．m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice
cream? Commitment.A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases
selfconfidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a
smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit
just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

     The global energy crisis is approaching.What can we do? Here are some steps you can take.
     Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid(电网). Just as a tuneup for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tuneup of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort.Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed.
     For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the
federal government's symbol for energy efficiency.For central air, purchase the system with the highest
possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratia.(SEER)
     Use energyefficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning.Ceiling fans do a great job of
circulating air.When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat(恒温器) and cut
costs.Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.
     Let a programmable thermostat "remember for you" to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent.You can come home to a
comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work.
     Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.
     Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.
     Close blinds or shades on southand westfacing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to
avoid heat buildup.
     Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers.And use fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯), which
provide bright, warm light while using at least twothirds less energy, producing 70 percent less heat and
lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs(白炽灯)．
     Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle.If you
drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.
     Carpool.The average U．S.commuter(乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars
twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg-assuming the three passengers share the
cost of gas.
