But what about body image, self-esteem, aging, relationships, success and happiness? They are all related, all connected, and
33、fitness in all areas is important if you want true and total fitness.But you may say, “I just want to lose 20 pounds. If I do, I will feel better about myself and I will be happy.” Maybe in the short term, but honestly, if we dont deal with our mental and emotional fitness while working on the physi

The women, residents of Weston Creeks Araluen Retirement Village, want to give these babies, from many different countries, a better start in life.T
42、he womens work is adding to about 59,000 jumpers already sent to poor communities in Vanuatu, Ethiopia, Romania, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. People from Australia, and now Britain, have united together to form the Knitting Circle for Newborn AIDS Babies and keep the bodies of newborn babies w
43、arm. Communities in Peru, South America and Vietnam have requested jumpers made by the knitting circle, indicating that there is still more to do, so founders Lyn and Ken Begley have been working hard to get more people donating to the project.According to UNAIDS, 4.1 million people were newly infec
44、ted and 570,000 children died from HIV in 2005 worldwide. The Melbourne couples attention was drawn to such figures, and concern for the living conditions of babies in the African country of Malawi rose after the media reported that the American singer Madonna had adopted a Malawian AIDS orphan. The
45、ir concern led them to start the knitting circle by asking for hand-made jumpers, wool, yarn and coin donations for shipping costs. Araluen Village resident and Canberra Quilters member Sister Elizabeth Lusby brought the idea to the village because she was concerned for the babies.“It was just the m
46、iserable story of the poor little babies going home in newspaper. Its a awful.” Sister Lusby said. “I just left some copies of the information on the notice board and said if you want to help, you can, and lots of people did.” Craft director Lynn Stead said helping people through knitting was not ne

51、t a close, valuable friend can you brag(吹嘘) about your successes and complain about your failures or losses?What is a “good friend”? How is he best described? Well, it has been my observation that although many will cry with you, few can sincerely rejoice with you. Therefore, in my opinion, a good f
52、riend is one who can enjoy your successes without envy; one who can say, “That was wonderful! You can do it again, even better if you want!” and mean it. Nothing taxes a friendship more than the prosperity of one and not the other. Even the closest of friendships (and marriages) often cannot resist
53、such pressure and fail. No wonder many minor friendships go down the drain(每况愈下) for the same reason.A person of good character and sound moral fiber, of honor and humor, courage and belief is a friend to be sought and treasuredfor there are few. Too often do we hear, “If you can count your good fri
54、ends on more than one hand, consider yourself blessed.” And even then I would add, “Even if you have lost two fingers of that hand to the electric saw.”What makes a friendship last? Well, I dont know all the answers, but one of my observations is that most good friends usually have similar tastes. T
55、hey generally like and dislike many of the same things. There also usually seems to exist a similarity of personality traitsespecially in the fundamental values of life such as honesty, sincerity, loyalty, and dependability.

61、d statistical(统计的) machine translation, differs from past efforts in which it does without language experts who program grammatical rules and dictionaries into computers. Instead, they feed documents humans have already translated into two languages and then rely on computers to decide patterns for
62、future translations.While the quality is not perfect, it is an improvement on previous efforts at machine translation, said Franz Och, 35, a German who heads Googles translation effort at its Mountain View headquarters south of San Francisco. “Some people who have been in machine translations for a
63、long time see our Arabic-English output, and then they say, thats amazing, thats a breakthrough.” Said Och. “And then other people who have never seen what machine translation was read through the sentence and they say, the first mistake here in Line Fiveit doesnt seem to work because there is a mis
64、take there.”But for some tasks, a mostly correct translation may be good enough. Speaking over lunch this week in a Google cafeteria famed for offering free, healthy food, Och showed a translation of an Arabic Web news site into easily digestible English.Two Google workers speaking Russian at a near
65、by table said, however, that a translation of a news site from English into their native tongue was understandable but a bit awkward. Och, who speaks German, English and some Italian, feeds hundreds of millions of words from parallel texts such as Arabic and English into the computer, using United N
66、ations and European Union documents as key sources.Languages without considerable translated texts, such as some African languages, face greater obstacles. “The more data we feed into the system, the better it gets.” said Och, who moved to the United States from Germany in 2002.The program applies s

76、作文（Possible Version）Recently I have carried out a survey among the students in our class. The survey was conducted to find out what influences the music we listen to.According to the survey, TV and films have the strongest effect on our choice of music, 50 per cent of the students sharing the opinio
77、n. About 30 per cent of the students say they are influenced by friends when deciding what to listen to. Radio comes third, with 20 per cent of the students choosing it. Parents seem to have very little influence. Only 10 per cent of the students say they listen to what their parents recommend.In my
78、 opinion, one of the major reasons why TV and films influence our choice of music so much is that the music in the film usually goes with beautiful pictures, or expresses certain feelings of heroes. Good film music, as is often the case, can accompany a persons entire life.开放作文（Possible Version）As w

The elderly man is holding his umbrella to protect his beloved pet dog from the rain, while he himself is walking in the rain.This kind of phenomenon is not unusual in our society. Many elderly folks are living in loneliness. Their children are not ar
80、ound them, and so their pet is the only family they have to whom they can show their full attention.This cartoon attempts to convey the message that everyone, as a member of society, should care more about the elderly. We could make a difference in their lives, for instance, by showing more respect
