15、hile others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:Ill never lose weight-I come from a fat familyWrong! While we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. Theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs i
16、n families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong!

23、 a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into b
24、oth families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us
25、warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.

27、 to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to rest
