| For her first twenty-four year, she'd been known as Debbie-a name that didn't suit her good looks and elegant manner. "My name has always made me think I should be a cheerleader," She complained. "I just don't feel like a Debbie!" One day, while filling out an application form for publishing job, the young woman suddenly changed middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie. "That was the smartest thing I ever did," She says now. "As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie. I felt more comfortable with myself… and other people started to take me more seriously". Two years after her successful magazine editor-friends and associates call her Lynne. Naturally, the name change didn't cause Debbie/Lynne's professional achievement-but it surely helped if only by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talents. Social scientists say that what you are called can affect your life. Through history, names have not only identified people but also described them. "As his name is, so is he..?" says the Bible. For better or worse, qualities such as friendliness or reserves, simpleness or charm may be suggested by your name and encourage other people before they even meet you. Of course, names with a good sense can work for you-even encouraging new acquaintances. A recent survey showed that American men thought Susan to be the attractive female name, while women believed Richard and David were the most attractive to men. One woman I know turned down a blind date with a man named Harry because "he sounded dull." Several evenings later she came up to me at a party, pressing for an introduction to a very nice man with whom they looked at each other all evening. "Oh," I said. "You mean Harry?" She was ill at ease. |

| The human body is a living machine, and, like all machines, it needs "fuel" (燃料) to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy? The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1℃. The number of calories people need per day is different. Also, the number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in.For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on. The energy in food is in the form of three kinds of chemical materials-carbohydrate (碳水化合物), protein (蛋白质) and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. Each food contains different amount of these materials, as the round pictures show.  |
| 1. The amount of calories supplied by equal amounts of milk, rice, and peanuts is the largest in the case of _____. |

| A. You need more calories for swimming than for mountain climbing. B. Food contains energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins and fuel. C. Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex and the activities they are in. D. 3 grams of milk provides 16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. |

| A. all the energy is in food B. the human body needs energy C. the number of calories depends on your activity D. we must only eat peanuts to get calories |

| A branch of psychology called neurolinguistic programming has made an interesting and useful discovery: You can change the way you imagine or remember things without changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings. For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and dimmer, and when you do, the memory won't make you as sad. Since you haven't changed the content of the memory, you haven't lost any information. You have simply made it less painful. When you visually remember a pleasant memory, you can made the picture more colorful and the money will give you even more intense good feelings. You can make your pictures of the future brighter, wider, deeper, or you can bring the images closer. Changes like these will make you feel different-even when you leave the content of the picture the same. These are general guidelines (指导方针). You'll need to experiment for yourself to find out what will work for a particular image. For a few people, making an exciting picture brighter makes the feelings less intense. And for some kinds of pictures, increasing the brightness would cause the feelings to become less intense-for example, a romantic memory. What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself. For example, if you have trouble motivating yourself, try changing the tone of voice you use when you spread to yourself. Some people order themselves around. The voice they use to talk to themselves is harsh and commanding. Listening to yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone else being bossy: It can make you want to rebel. Change your tone to friendly or seductive, and you might feel more motivated. When you tell yourself, "I can do it," fill your internal voice with enthusiasm and back it up with inspiring music. The possibilities are in fact endless. The important thing to understand is that they way you code your inner world has an impact, and you have quite a bit of control over that coding. You can change it deliberately. When you do, it will change your feelings, which change your actions, which will change the world around you. |

| Growing up is not easy. Sometimes all that is need is someone to rely on. For many years, she was Mum. My mother was a career woman and has her own problems to take care, but when I needed her, she was always there. Her strength came from anywhere. I don't quite know, somewhere very deep. She was so strong that she would never break down, even while I went to her with all my little-boy problems and shout at her. Her strength made me stronger and gave to me courage to try things other thought were impossible. A helping hand is always stronger enough to lift you up. ______________________________________________________________________________________ |
