When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If you experience any of these emotions, you are not alone．Chances are that you don’t regularly associate with someone who is disabled．Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person.
Disabled people can lead active lives
With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family, or taking part in social activities．Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability．Instead of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same way you would any normal person.
It’s all right to ask questions
Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability．When meeting them for the first time, it’s natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they’re from．Asking questions is usually acceptable, as long as you use common sense．Don’t, for example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself.
Offer help when necessary
You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building．It’s usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help．Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part.
Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome
No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face．Like you, a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied．Many friends have said to me, “I often forget that you are blind.” To me, that is the top compliment(赞扬).
1．Why are you curious when you first see disabled people?
A．They can’t live normally． B．You seldom deal with them.
C．You look down upon them． D．They look quite different.
2．What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it?
A．You had better lend him or her a hand.
B．You pretend that you haven’t seen him or her.
C．You should encourage him or her to try.
D．You had better let him or her alone.
3．From this passage we learn that ____.
A．the author is blind himself
B．a disabled person needs pitying
C．not everyone has a weakness
D．some people have no difficulty

Lots of people aren’t satisfied with their present weight, but most people aren’t sure how to change it. You may want to look like the models, actresses or actors in magazines or on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you.
So what should you do about your weight control?
The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to go to see a doctor or dietitian（营养学家) for advice. They will compare your weight with healthy standards and help you set goals. If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss, then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started.
People who lose weight quickly by crash dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all of the pounds they lost, because they haven’t completely changed their habits. Therefore, the best ways of weight management are those that you can keep for a lifetime.
Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than big ones. Try reducing the size of what you eat. Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:
Break a bad habit.
You don’t really “break” habits. __【小题1】__. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible（不能共存的）with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.
Grow your marriage.
__【小题2】__. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s as if you planted a garden and came back six months later─you wouldn’t even be able to find it. __【小题3】__.
Beat stress.
My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __【小题4】__. Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.
Refocus your anger.
Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. __【小题5】__. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.
Don’t medicate(掺入药) with food.
It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I’ve got a problem.”
| A．You replace the unwanted behavior with something that prevents you from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects. |
| B．I’ll feel easy. |
| C．If there is a problem, you needn’t deal with it immediately. |
| D．You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, and deal with the problems. |

The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)
If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 【小题1】 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.
◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 【小题2】 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.
◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 【小题3】 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.
◆ 【小题4】 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.
◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 【小题5】 In the end, you will expand your ideas.
| A．I often experienced that myself. |
| B．It trains you to express your thoughts. |
| C．It allows you to see your progress over time. |
| D．Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with. |

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Leap Year
Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365．It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year．The extra day is added to our shortest month．That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer that any other month． 1.
Leap year is also called the bissextile year． 2. In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year （the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once） is actually slightly more than 365 days long．That extra day—Feb．29 every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar．
Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar．His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours．So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar． 3.
Caesar's adjustment, however, was not entirely accurate because his astronomers' year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds．By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year．To correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400．By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year． 4.
Persons born on Feb．29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us． 5. But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people．
A．This is done every four years．
B．This is its formal, or scientific title．
C．This may seem complicated, but it works．
D．They acknowledge that they get older each year．
E．The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC．
F．When you see Feb．29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year．
G．In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days
