Why do Americans struggle with watching their
weight, while the French, who
consume
（消耗）
rich
food,
continue to stay thin? Now a
research by Cornell University suggests how life
style and decisions about eating
may
affect weight. Researchers concluded that the
French tend to
（往往，倾向于）
stop eating when they feel
full. However, Americans tend to stop
when their plate is empty or their favorite TV
show is over.
According
to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French
see eating as an important part of their life
style.
They enjoy food and therefore
spend a fairly long time at the table, while
Americans see eating as something to
be
squeezed
（挤出）
between the other daily activities.
Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to
sense
when they are actually full. So
they keep eating long after the French would have
stopped. In addition, he points
out
that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy
canned and frozen foods for the week. The French,
instead, tend to shop daily, walking to
small shops and farmers' markets where they have a
choice of fresh fruits,
vegetables, and
eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the
United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French
Women Don't Get Fat, decided to write
about the importance of knowing when to
stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.
Today she continues
to stay slim and
rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of
all
these differences, evidence shows that recent life
style changes may be affecting French
（尽管）
eating habits. Today the
rate of obesity
—
or extreme
overweight
—
among adults is
only 6%. However, as
American fast food
gains acceptance and the young
reject
（拒绝）
older
traditions, the obesity rate among
French children has reached 17%
—
and is growing.
（
1
）
In
what way are the French different from Americans
according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?
A.
They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B. They squeeze eating between the
other daily
activities.
C.
They regard eating as a key part of their
lifestyles.
D. They usually eat
too much canned and frozen
food.
（

show
Animal World
is well

China
, which came out on Aug 2, may be

Born in China
not only
brings to audiences the lives of animals that are
rarely seen in the
wild
—
giant pandas,
snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but
also shows Chinese traditional culture.
A symbol of China, the
giant panda is both black and white. Its body is
thought to show yin and yang, which
ancient Chinese ideas were based on.
The panda's gentle nature shows how yin and yang
lead to peace. It can be
seen in the
film when a panda mother guides her baby to look
for independence and explore the world.
Unlike the shy pandas,
monkeys always have strong personalities. The
Monkey King in China's most famous
novel
Journey to the
West
has many conflicting
traits(
特点
). It stands for
not only impatience but also cleverness
and energy.
Born in
China
follows a 2-year-old golden
monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and
understands the meaning of
responsibility.
Just as
the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also
faces difficulty in raising her babies in the
wild. The
leopards, known for their
rapid attacks and quick
footwork(
脚步
), have inspired
a form of pictographic(
象形拳
)
in Shaolin martial
arts(
武术
).
Born in China
is
a means to show off Chinese traditional
culture,
people have learned a lot from
wild animals since ancient times. This is why I
shot this nature -themed
documentary.

Many of us mistakenly
believe that it's wrong to think we have any good
qualities. We may spend a lot of time
blaming ourselves for our negative
qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key
to improving our performance.
However,
a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can
stop our efforts to make friends with other
people.
How can we believe that others
could like us if we believe our inner being is
flawed (
有缺陷
)?
If someone seems to dislike you, the
reason for that dislike might have little or
nothing to do with you. The
person who
doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or
busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are
simply
a mismatch for each other at
this particular time.
Don't take yourself out of the game by
deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good
qualities. In fact,
some of the very
qualities you consider to be flaws may be
irresistible to someone else. For all the factors
that
might cause one person to reject
you, there are at least as many factors that will
work in your favor with
someone else.
You might be thirty
pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a
wonderful laugh and a real
enthusiasm
for life. There are many people who don't mind
your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but
you might be a great dancer and a loyal
friend. There are people out there looking for
loyalty, or fun, or
