19．I had an experience some years ago，which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by themselves．One January，I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community．Both had died"full of years"，as the Bible would say．Their homes happened to be near each other，so I paid condolence（吊唁）calls on the two families on the same afternoon．
At the first home，the son of the deceased woman said to me，"If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow，she would be alive today．It's my fault that she died．"At the second home，the son of the other deceased woman said，"If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida，she would be alive today．That long airplane ride，the sudden change of climate，was more than she could take．It's my fault that she's dead．"
You see that any time there is a death，the survivors will feel guilty．Because the course of action they took turned out bad，they believe that the opposite course------keeping mother at home，putting off the operation----would have turned out better．After all，how could it have turned out any worse？
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty．The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense，that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens．That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds．
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens，especially the bad things that happen．It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood．
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs，and that he makes everything happen in it．He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks．He cries，and someone comes to attend to him．When he is hungry，people feed him，and when he is wet，people change him．Very often，we don not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen．

48．The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably becauseA．
A．he was minister of the local church
B．he wanted to comfort the two families
C．he was an official of the community
D．he had great pity for the deceased

B．they have neglected the natural course of events
C．they believe that they were the reason
D．the don't know things often turn in the opposite direction

A．everything in the world is predetermined
B．there's an explanation for everything in the world
C．the world can be interpreted in different ways
D．we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
51．What's the main idea of the message？B
A．Life and death is an unsolved mystery．
B．Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault．
C Every story should have a happy ending．
D．In general，the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away．

7．One reason Americans eat so many calories is that we tend to eat large portions（分量）．Studies find that hamburgers and fries are generally offered in serving sizes two to five times larger than the appropriate meal size．Researchers find we usually clean our plates no matter how high they're piled，even if we already feel satisfied．See the suggestions below to further master the fine art of sizing up（估量） your snacks and suppers．
Extremely large portions are one possible reason Americans continue getting fatter even as the percentage of our total calories from fat has gone down in recent years．Fortunately，portions are relatively simple to control because it's easier to count cookies than calories or grams of fat．
Pre-picture portions．Use familiar objects to picture how much you should eat of a food before you pick up your fork or spoon．For example，a half cup of low-fat granola is about the size of your fist．A half cup of low-fat ice cream equals half an orange．
     Use a smaller dish．This tip might sound ridiculous，but it works．First and most obvious is that you can't put as much food on，say，a salad plate．But psychologically，you're just not as prone to eat as heartily and quickly if your plate will be empty in 45 seconds．
     Have raw vegetables at every meal．Raw cucumbers，tomatoes，carrots，and peppers have few calories and lots of nutrients．A plate of them in the middle of the table almost always gets eaten up，cutting down appetite for the more calorie-dense meat．
   Start your meal with soup．Studies show that a bowl of soup at the start of the meal reduces overall meal consumption，since they are lowest in calories and highest in nutrients．
   Manage your fork．After every bite of food，put your fork down．Don't pick it up until you have thoroughly chewed and swallowed the previous bite．The goal is both to slow down your eating and to eat less．Remember：Your body needs 20 minutes of digestion before it sends signals to your brain that you are no longer hungry．

Helpful hints on how to get a handle on the how-much factor
Facts	Hamburgers and fries served in restaurants are generally two to five times thesizeof the proper ones． Americans usually clean their plateshoweverhigh they're piled，even if they are already satisfied
Effects	Americans continue getting fatter even as they have eatenfewercalories from fat in recent years．
suggestions	a．Usefamiliarobjects to imagine how much you should eat of a food before a meal． b．Use a smaller dish and thus eatslowly c．Have raw vegetables at every meal to cut downappetitefor the more calorie-dense meat． d．Start your meal withsoupto reduce meal consumption． e．Put down your fork attimes/intervalsto make sure your brain receivessignalsthat you're full．
