Glynis Davis:
I first piled on the ponds 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 bage 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 leant 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 supper-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 about winning Young Silmmer 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,becau -se 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 on 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.

Chinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go.
Wang Zhizhi,the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago,has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa(签证),Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player.Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets,and army-run club,refused to let him go.After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball,but only for a period of short time.He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.
Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming,the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year.The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time,for a proper team and under proper conditions.
Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon.People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the
draft this year”because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.
Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last,analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength,Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed,techniques and above all,culture of the NBA.

A.he is 2.25 metres tall,who is the tallest basketball player in China
B.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the Rockets

64.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .
A.there is no problem with his visa
B.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for him
C.time and conditions are proper
D.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks
65.The underlined phrase“try his hand”in the passage probably means .
A.初试身手
B.碰碰运气
C.成为一员
D.为其效劳
66.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .

Students Like Optional Course
This term our school has offered more than 10 optional courses,from which students can choose.The courses are given from 3:30 to 5:00 every Tuesday afternoon.
Students take great interest in the optional courses.Their favorites are computer,spoken English,arts and so on.They say they have learned a lot that is not taught in textbooks and they have got a great deal of practice.However,students are not quite satisfied.They hope more optional courses will be offered while their home work should be less.They suggest more trips and visits should be organized so that they can learn more about what is going on outside school.

M:How do you do!
W:How do you do!What can I do for you?
M:Well,I’ve just got off an international flight,and I’m not sure which mode of transport I should make use of on my trip.So I need some advice.
W:Go on,please?
M:I’m planning to travel to some famous places—Beijing,Xi’an and Guilin in China.Which mode of transport is the best for me?
W:Well,that depends on how much time and money you’re going to spend on your trip.
M:I see.I’m travelling at my expense,so I want to save both time and money spent on my way. W:Oh,I know what you mean.Now that you are in Beijing,you should visit the Great Wall,the Summer Palace,the Imperial Palace and Tian’anmen Square as well.During your trip in Beijing,make use of the underground which is faster and cheaper.
M:How can I get to Xi’an?You know I have to go to Beijing after I’ve finished all my travelling. W:It’s much cheaper to take a train to Xi’an than to fly.In my opinion,you should take the train to Xi’an and then to Guilin.You will not only save money but also have a close beautiful scenic trip.After that,fly directly from Guilin to Beijing.
M:Good!That’s a really good idea.I’ll do as you have suggested.Thanks.Thanks a lot.
W:Not at all!Good bye!
M:Good bye!

W:Can you help me?
M:What seems to be the trouble?
W:There is something wrong with my bike.
M:Oh,your bike seems to have become loose.That’s dangerous.Without a good brake,you can’t control your speed.Accidents are more likely to happen.You’d better have it repaired as soon as possible.
W:Where can I find a repairman?
M:There is one at the corner of the street near the post office.It is about 150 metres away.
W:Will it take long to get it fixed?
M:Just 15 minutes.

I am working in the Green Park Zoo in southeast of London.I am an animal keeper.One morning I went to work as usual.When I got to the zoo,my fellow told me that a young lion escaped from the zoo because of the hurricane the night before.Mr Charles the manager told us to get ready to search for the lion at any time when needed.
At about twenty in the afternoon,we were told to set out at once,for it was reported that the lion had appeared in the bushes in a lady’s garden.We drove our car as fast as we could.When we got there we found the garden had already been surrounded by the police.And the lion could be seen in the bushes,eating something.We walked quietly towards the bushes.As we got near,I pointed my pipe at the lion and fired.The lion made a sudden angry noise and struggled to its feet,but failed.It fell over and lay still.In this way we caught the lion and took it to the zoo.。
