Larsen had to make the most terrible9 of his life: should he stay with Pritchard and try to attract the attention of a passing aircraft, or should he10 to the village— three days' walk away— to get help?

②During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money. Later, in the US and Canada, working people got together to set up unions (工会). The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher pay, but many of the bosses refused.

③On May 1st, 1886, men and women in the US and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They forced bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In Chicago, several people died in fighting with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1st to honor workers everywhere.

Twenty years ago, when the first donation arrived, it seemed a bit different because it wasn't common to donate that much money—over one thousand yuan. The Seniors' Home office tried to contact the person who named himself Xiao Lei. But they found out that the address and the name provided did not exist. It seemed that this person simply wished to keep his donation quiet. Then a few months later, another anonymous (匿名的) donation arrived, sent from another post office. And then, another.

After many years of receiving the donations, the whole town was curious to discover the true identity (身份) of the person behind these acts of kindness. A journalist even wrote an article in the local newspaper with the headline: Where are you, Xiao Lei?

The search continued for many months without result. In the end, the office received an anonymous phone call saying that the person only did what anyone should do, and requested not to look for him. He did not want to make a name for himself, or to be recognized. Therefore, the Seniors' Home office accepted the fact that they could never know the person's true identity. When a second article in the local newspaper revealed (透露) the end of the search, people were moved deeply and inspired.

Following in his footsteps, many people have started donating some of their own money to help those with less. It has become part of their lives.

Yang threw5 into practicing bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat.

"It was6 for me to fall into the water when I started practicing," recalled Yang, adding that it7 her three years to learn the basic skills of bamboo drifting.

Zhang Zhongtao, who works at Beijing Friendship Hospital, said that obesity was causing big health and money problems around the world. It is now a serious public health problem in China. By the year of 2030, it is expected that China will spend about 22% of all its healthcare money on problems related to being overweight or obese.

At a meeting, Zhang asked people to pay more attention to obesity and how to manage weight. He believes that the government and society do not focus enough on this problem. "We hope to work with public charities to give help to obese patients who need to lose weight medically but can't pay for it." he said.

He also explained why people become overweight. It is mainly because they eat more energy than they run out of. In the north of China, people like to eat noodles, and in the south, they prefer rice. Both foods have carbohydrates (碳水化合物), but eating noodles can make you gain more weight. Climate (气候) also affects people in the north. Because it's colder, they like to eat foods with more calories, like fried chicken and chocolate, to stay warm.

Obesity is a common problem and can lead to other diseases. This is why it's so important to prevent and control obesity to help build a "Healthy China".
