题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Glynis Davis:
I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year… but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference — but the scales don’t lie.
Roz Juma:
To be honest, I never weigh myself any more. I’ve learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body. This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it.
Lesley Codwin:
I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem — perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though. Because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again.
Ros Langfod:
Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet… I’m really good in a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate — my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.

Eric Seal thought the poor dog at his feet was perhaps five weeks old. Sometime during the night, the little female had been 16 at the Seals front gate. “We can’t just turned her 17 ” his wife, Jeffrey said, “I’ll feed her and get her 18 up. Then we’ll find a home for her.”
Standing between them, the puppy seemed to 19 that her fate was being decided. Her tail wagged 20 she looked from one to the other. Finally, Eric shrugged his shoulders, “Okay, if you want to fool with her, 21 ” Eric continued, “one other thing, let’s wait a few days to put her in the doghouse with Tex. We don’t want Tex 22 to anything. He has all the troubles he can handle.”
Tex, the six-year-old cattle dog --- the Seals had raised from a puppy, 23 he already shared his doghouse with a yellow cat, happily moved over and made room for the new puppy the Seals called Heinz. Not long before Heinz showed up, the Seals had noticed that Tex 24 to be losing his eyesight. When they brought Tex to a specialist in Dallas, doctors there determined that Tex was already 25 . It was soon obvious that the little puppy 26 be a large dog --- too large to continue sharing a doghouse with Tex and the yellow cat. One weekend the Seals built 27 doghouse next to the one the dogs had shared.

Each evening when the dogs 30 for the night, Heinz gently took Tex’s nose in her mouth and 31 him into his house. In the morning, she got him up and guided him out of the house again. On sunny days, Tex 32 stretched out on the driveway, if a car was coming, Heinz would wake him up and guided him 33 danger.
The Seals were surprised, without any training, the young dog had devised 34 means were necessary to help, guide and protect her blind companion. It was clear that Heinz shared 35 her eyes with Tex; she shared her heart.
