    Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

    Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

    There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

    There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime （消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

    The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

    One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall, the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York. Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound.  Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5th, 1891.

    The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.

    Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world.  Over 12,000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall's concert history.

    Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls, but the Main Hall, now called the Isaac Stem Auditorium, is the most famous. The hall itself can hold an audience of 2,804 in five levels of seating.

    Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now Part of Carnegie Hall's history. Question: "How do I get to Carnegie Answer: "Practice, practice, practice."

    Small talk is a good way to make friends. If you travel to other countries or have friends from abroad, do you know how to use small talk to make conversation?

    In Britain, the best topic is the weather. British weather is changing all the time.

    Besides weather, it's good to talk about gardens with British. You could say "Those roses look really beautiful, don't they?'  So it's also nice to start with "What a lovely dog! What is his name?”

    In America, people like to talk about sports news, such as American football and basketball.  So you might say "It's a nice shirt! Where did you get it?" Weather is a safe topic there, too.

     Don't ask people "How old are you?" Never ask: "How much money do you make?"It makes people uncomfortable. Don't ask strangers weather they are married.  There are others in our daily life.

A. English people love their pets.

B. Americans also talk about clothes.

C. Politics or religion is not a good topic.

D. Only a few topics are not used for small talk.

E. There are also a lot of topics to avoid during small talk.

F. You can start chatting by saying "It's a lovely day today, isn't it?"

G. Friends are important to us all, but how to make friends is a problem.

    I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people 1 I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a 2 person.

    I think my 3 started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my 4 and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever 5 to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester (（学期），I was really 6 . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried a（n） 7. I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble, I 8 to help. That was really a big 9 for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of 10 are still my best friends today.

    A bigger cause of my new 11 , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer's disease became my 12 . Every time I came into her room, she was so 13 because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never14 her, so I took her place. She let me 15 that making others feel good make me feel good, too. When she died, I was 16, but 1 was very grateful to her.

    I think I am a much 17 person today than 1 used to be, and I hope I will not 18these experiences. They have 19 me to care about other people more than about myself. I 20 who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

    When meeting people at the airport, most people smile and shake hands with people they meet. We know that a smile is usually a sign that people feel friendly and happy, what if we don't know who the new person is? What if we are not (introduce) by a friend? Sometimes people are dangerous and humans have to find ways to protect  (themself). We have to make sure we can trust people we do not know, and we have to show that we are not dangerous, showing our hands means that we are not armed. In many cultures today, the Western custom of (shake) hands is used. We use our right hand, which is usually  (strong) than the left one. If we are using our hand this way, it cannot be holding a knife or a gun.  It shows that we can trust each other.

    Not all cultures use the handshake, and people in many Asian cultures do not always touch another person. Japanese people might cover one hand with  other hand, depending on they are greeting, bow (slight) or quite low. A Muslim will touch his heart, mouth and forehead  (show) respect. They are all keeping their hands busy. In almost all cultures, to smile and show an open right hand  (mean). "Welcome, you are safe with me."

    Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn't wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother's Day, and he usually tried to make it "back home", but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, "I know what I will do, I'll send my mother some roses ."

    He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it "How many roses can I get for fifty dollars. Ms.? " the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.

    "No. I have to have roses," he said, "my mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. 1 want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite." He was stubborn,

    The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed（幸运的）in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy's roses.

    The girl looked at the young man and said, "OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars." The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.

    Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard（墓地）.
