Glynis Davis:I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I' couldn't lose

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 thescales 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 Godwin:

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 axe 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.

What do you think the four women were all talking about？

A．Their own slimming matter.

B．Their life after marriage.

C．Their work as a housewife.

D．Different diets they prefer.

听力原文： For the past few weeks we have been discussing national energy conservation alte

rnatives for the future. Today I am going to talk about what one community is presently doing to conserve energy. The people of Davis California have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by one third since 1973. The first energy saving action that was taken in the early 70' s was the legislation of strict building codes; all new houses in Davis must have the proper insulation so that heat will not escape unnecessarily in the winter. New houses also face north or south so that they will not be overheated by the sun in summer. The laws have had a definite effect. Since 1976, there has been a 50% saving in the amount of natural gas and electricity used in heating and air conditioning. There are other energy saving features about Davis. Buses, partially supported by the city, transplant university students throughout the area. There are twenty-four miles of bicycle paths and today there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city. By reducing the available parking space the city council has succeeded in reducing the number of cars in the city every day. Another benefit of the reduced parking space is the greater number of small cars. People are saving gas because they are choosing not to drive or because they are driving fuel economic cars. Davis California has become an energy saving model for other cities. Time is up for today. Next week we will return to our regular topic of national energy alternatives.

What is the main topic of the lecture？

A．Bicycles and cars.

B．Building codes.

C．Energy conservation.

D．New housing construction.

WHATS NEW IN RICHMOND BY MILES HUGHES January 10 - There is a new owner and new menus at

the Brooks Buffet restaurant. Under the previous owner, Jimmy Cooper, the Brooks Buffet restaurant, at 536 Anniston Street, was a long standing local favorite for over twenty years. When Mr. Cooper went out of business due to his chronic illness and moved to Miami for rehabilitation in November last year, Robin Davis acquired the restaurant and began making plans to introduce new menu items. Mr. Davis believes that his experiences working in a number of well-known restaurants in Chicago and Seattle will help introduce bold, fresh, continental-inspired dishes to the menu, while maintaining the hometown ambience that has made the Brooks Buffet a Richmond landmark. As part of his plan for introducing the new menu, Mr. Davis invited twenty special guests, including five instructors from the nearby Queens Culinary Academy, to attend a preview tasting yesterday. As the guests took their seats, Mr. Davis introduced the first course: a refreshing apple salad and pumpkin vegetable soup. This was the signature dish Mr. Davis developed while working at Romano Italian restaurant in Chicago. Each of the main dishes that followed also drew on Mr. Davis experience using delectable seafood, as well as his commitment to use only the freshest fruits and vegetables grown by area farmers. To conclude the event, Mr. Davis showcased the skills he gained while working at Quincys in Seattle. His strawberry vanilla cake was the perfect ending to a wonderful tasting experience. The public is invited to try the Brooks Buffets new menu beginning on January 15. There will be free food samples for diners who come to lunch or dinner at the Brooks Buffet from January 15 to March 15. Mr. Davis said he looks forward to introducing patrons to a range of new tastes. If the preview tasting was any indication of what Mr. Davis has to offer to Richmond customers, then I strongly recommend visiting the restaurant to sample the menu selections.

What is the main purpose of the article？

A．To announce the merger between two local restaurants

B．To profile a restaurant"s new owner

C．To explain why a local business went out of business

D．To compare the work of two local restaurants

Starting a New Tradition

Shantelle Davis is a nine-year-old girl in New York. On a cold night in December, her family is standing around the kitchen table while she lights a candle. The table is decorated with baskets of fruits and vegetables and ears of com for Shantelle and her two brothers.

“This candle represents umoja, an African word that means being together,” Shantelle says. “That's the most important thing for a family.”

Tonight is the first night of Kwanzaa, and Shantelle is spending the holiday with her family. More than 5 million African Americans celebrate Kwanzaa every year from December 26 until January I. It's a time when they get together with their families to think about their history and their ancestors in Africa.

Kwanzaa is very unusual because it was started by one man. In 1966, an American named Maulana Karenga wanted a holiday for African-Americans to honor their culture and traditions. So he used words and customs from Africa to create a new celebration. He took the name Kwanzaa from the words for “first fruits” in Swahili, an African language. At first, a few American families had small celebrations at home. Now there are also Kwanzaa events in schools and public places，and Kwanzaa has spread to other countries like Canada and Jamaica.

The main symbol of Kwanzaa is a candleholder with seven candles, one for each of the principles of Kwanzaa. Each night, a family member lights one of the candles and talks about the idea it represents：being together, being yourself, helping each other, sharing, having a goal，creating, and believing. The candles are red, black, and green, the colors of Kwanzaa. The parents also pour drinks to honor family members who have died. On the last night of Kwanzaa, there is a big dinner with African food, and children receive small presents.

Today people can buy Kwanzaa greeting cards and special Kwanzaa clothes. Stores sell Kwanzaa candles and candleholders. Some people don't believe that Kwanzaa is a real holiday，because it's so new. But other people say that customs and celebrations are always changing and that Kwanzaa shows what is important in people's lives.

Shantelle Davis says she likes Kwanzaa because it's fun. “But I also learn new things every year," she says.

1. Kwanzaa is celebrated at the end of the year.

A. Right

B. Wrong

C. Not mentioned

Black Americans have served with honor in every American military action, though this fact

is often not written in history books. Even though black men begged to be allowed to serve in the Revolution War, they served well. During the Revolution War a black man named Estabrook captured Royal Army's General Prescott Newport and Peter Salem, a black, killed Major Pitcairn as he was savoring his victory at Bunker Hill.

In World War Ⅰ,40, 00 black soldiers served with this French command Johnson and Needham Robert were the first Americans to win tile Croix de Guerre--France's top military award.

During World War R over 40, 000 black soldiers served in the army forces. Dorie Miller, a black, was one of the first heroes in this war. At Pearl Harbor during Japanese attack, he shot down four planes. The black fighter pilots of Benjamin Davis, Jr. made themselves known as brave soldiers throughout the war.
