    Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people. But for most people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}are overweight, the results are so {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(limit) that they will give up long before achieving any realistic results. It turns out that the programs are practically of no use. You lose weight for a while, only {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (gain) back more weight when you stop your weight loss program. This is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}such programs are not natural. Is there a natural weight loss solution?

    A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase {#blank#}5{#/blank#}amount of exercise you get every day.  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , this doesn't necessarily mean spending hours at the gym {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in front of a weight loss video. Increase your weight levels {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(nature) by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, or by taking the stairs instead of the elevator. There are even exercise that you can do while {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(sit) at your desk. All of these activities can burn extra calories {#blank#}10{#/blank#}taking up too much time.

    One day when I was five years old, my mother took me to a swimming pool. She wanted to teach me how to swim.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sad), I was almost drowned(淹死，溺死).{#blank#}2{#/blank#} I was rescued by a man, my mother was so {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(frighten) that she decided never to let me get close to a swimming pool again.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, I thought quite differently. Instead of letting that horrible incident create more fear around water for me, I decided to become a good {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(swim). After I told my mother about that, she thought I was right and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(agree). So I started to learn how to swim again. My mother became more careful and I was not in danger again. Later I became {#blank#}7{#/blank#} interested in swimming that I decided to compete in swimming events. After years of efforts, my dream came true. I was the first African American {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(win) an Olympic Gold Medal in swimming. I did so at both 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

    Now I spend much of my time {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (help) children learn how to swim. Hundreds of children each year drown in the United States.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (learn) how to swim can prevent 80% of these tragedies.

    Terry, who failed again and again in career (事业), often complained that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (disappoint) with the city that he had to leave.

    It was the evening of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} weekend when they moved to another city. Terry and his wife {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (tidy) up their new home busily when the light suddenly went out. Terry was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (help) in a low mood. Just then he heard knocks on his door. Wondering who it was, Terry, a newcomer to this city, went to the door and opened it impatiently. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the door was a little girl, shyly asking whether he had candles. "No" Terry answered in anger and shut the door {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (violent).

    After a while, the girl knocked again. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} this time she was holding two candles, saying, "My grandma told me the new neighbour downstairs might need candles. She sent me here to give you these." Terry was very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise) by what he saw.

    At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (repeat) failure in life. The person who had cheated him in life was really nobody else but {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (him).

The FIFA World Cup attracts worldwide attention. But have you ever considered how watching the World Cup might affect {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(you) health?

Watching sports might have some positive consequences. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  (support) a team can give people a sense of community and boost fans' self-esteem when their team wins. Jason Lanter is a psychology professor at Kutztown University who studies the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(behave) of sports fans. Lanter says people feel like they fit in. They know there {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be) good psychological and health benefits simply from being part of a group.

On the other hand, however, when watching{#blank#}5{#/blank#}intense match like the World Cup, people's pulse can{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(easy) spike(激增), which could cause heart attacks, especially when their teams lose. On the day in 1998 when Argentina defeated England in the World Cup, 55 more people {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(admit) to hospitals due to heart attacks,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (compare) to an average day in England. British research revealed that apart {#blank#}9{#/blank#}heart attacks, the excitement, disappointment and flow of adrenalin from watching a national team play might also cause more domestic violence.

John Ryan, a cardiologist at the University of Utah advised people to stay hydrated, stay cool and eat and drink alcohol in moderation. He said those pieces of advice{#blank#}10{#/blank#}we found useful for life in general were also useful while we were watching sports games.
