29、sting effects of interrupted sleep, can make it hard to find the time and energy to exercise or prepare healthy meals. Here are some tips for common problems new moms face:Problem: No time to cook proper meals. When youre caring for a baby, cooking proper meals seems like a luxury. Instead you rely
30、on convenience meals and processed foods. Solution: Try to get more support. Friends, family members, and neighbors are often delighted to help, so dont feel you have to do everything yourself. Use the extra time to prepare some healthy meals. Follow the basic rules of cutting down on fat and increa
31、sing fruit and vegetable intake.Problem: Sugary or high-fat snacks. Tiredness can leave you feeling sleepy, run-down, and in need of an immediate help from sweets and high-fat snacks. Solution: Turn snacking to your advantage. Eat high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar snacks; these will fill you up without
32、 adding too many calories. For an energy boost, eat a banana, which is high in potassium - a mineral essential for muscle and nerve function - or try a handful of raisins, which are high in iron but low in fat. Problem: No time or energy to exercise. A baby is a constant demand on your time, so your
33、e too tired or busy to exercise. Solution: Increasing activity levels will help you obtain a net calorie loss, while toning exercises will tighten your muscles. Though you may feel too tired to do any exercise, it is worth persevering because in the long run your energy levels will increase. Involve

39、has a name “Black Friday.” The name comes from the idea that this is the day when store owners begin to show a profit for the year.In the past, before calculators and computers, workers recorded the profits and losses of American businesses in special books.They used red ink to record losses. They u
40、sed black ink to record profits.They used the term “in the red” to mean losing money. “In the black” meant making a profit.So “Black Friday” was the day when the store owners moved from being “in the red” to “in the black.”Many people consider “Black Friday” to be the busiest shopping day of the yea
41、r.But that is probably false.Researchers say it may be the day when the largest number of people go to stores. But it is not necessarily the day when shoppers spend the largest amount of money.Some experts say Americans just want to get out of the house the day after Thanksgiving. And many stores re
42、duce some of their prices on “Black Friday.”However, experts say that many people wait until much closer to Christmas, December 25, hoping to find even lower prices. They say the busiest day of the year in terms of the amount of shoppers and sales is usually the Saturday before Christmas.A marketing
43、 services company carried out a public opinion study about shopping last month. It asked almost one thousand Americans about their gift buying plans. One-third said they plan to go to stores to shop on the day after Thanksgiving.The study found that these shoppers are mainly young people, probably b
44、ecause older people do not want to deal with huge crowds.In fact, business leaders say many older Americans are doing their shopping at home - on the computer.

48、riday”.C. All young people prefer going to stores on “Black Friday”.D. Older people like shopping on-line because of cheaper prices.CThe Chinese government had arrested 774 people over the past two months as part of a nationwide action on the production and sale of bad-quality food, drugs and agricu
49、ltural products.Government regulators plotted the arrests as a major step forward for food and drug safety, and said the suspects were locked up during nationwide inspections of thousands of restaurants, food and drug production facilities and wholesale food markets. Determined to stop producing and
50、 even exporting bad-quality goods, China promised earlier this year to improve its food and drug safety regulations and to close down illegal manufacturers and exporters.Last summer, the government even sentenced to death the former head of the nations food and drug administration, , after he was ac
51、cused of accepting bribes（贿赂）and failing to properly supervise food and drug companies, some of which had even sold fake drugs.But the government also acknowledged today that problems remain. In its announcement, it said that this month only 82 percent of the food tested in medium and large cities i
52、n China met food safety standards, and nearly 30 percent of the restaurants surveyed by regulators had failed food safety inspections.The announcement of the arrests, which was made over the weekend but was not posted on a government web site until today, offered few details about the nature and ser
53、iousness of the food and drug safety violations involved.

58、 interests. Your roommates need to study for an exam may take priority(优先) over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may, alas, have other choices.In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favo
59、rable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always win-other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits(价值) of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we
60、try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome intrusion(侵扰) into their lives or as a control or domination. In contrast, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable-to live is to persua
61、de. Persuasion may be ethical(道德的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or unpleasant. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or take advantage of our weakness. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help
62、 us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, an essential part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is essential to society.

78、 the customers for them. Each year China consumes a large number of plastic shopping bags. Too much use of them, inadequate recycling and other factors have caused a serious waste of resources and serious environmental pollution as well. If things go on like this, the earth we live on will be buried
79、 in an ocean of white rubbish one day. The new regulation brings China in line with a growing international trend to cut back on the use of plastic bags. Personally, I think the regulation is a timely measure against plastic bags. The ban on free plastic bags encourages people to be more environmentally friendly. As students, we should be fully aware of the damage they cause and use paper or cloth bags instead to reduce environmental pollution.(152 W)
