I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how
3、to control my blood sugar level. My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I cant eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food.
4、 Also, I test my blood sugar level often. Im always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level.

9、re foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreign visitors to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners knowledge of Ch
10、inese cuisine (烹饪). But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations have not lived up to public expectations. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a li
11、st of each dishs ingredients, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “Stir-fried mutton slices with Chinese onion or green scallion (葱爆羊肉)”.Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, the author says it fails to describe the dishs rich cult
12、ural meaning and charm. The dishs beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang,” has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only, but they cannot resist (忍住) the delicious dish. So, they jump over their temple walls to get a taste of the dish.

At the moment, riding in a ca
24、psule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive about $25 million per person per flight. Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable more than 37,000 kilometers
25、 up to space from the earths equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit (绕的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable(电缆) would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The
26、only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the eart
27、h and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.So,
