We have featured people who lost weight by following many different methods. Some focused strictly oneatingwell. Here are some lessons you can learn from those people. 

One thing most of our wellness winners had in common was a turning-point moment. For San Boeuf, her journey started when her unhealthy weight was threatening her dream of becoming a mother. She focused on her goal of being healthy enough to have kids. 

Many of our winners relied on technology to assist them on their weight-loss journeys. There 're numerous apps, devices and online communities. Sousing all the tools available makes a difference, whether those are apps to log your food, smart devices to track your exercise, or online communities to find the support you need. 

Losing a significant amount of weight is a long process. All of the wellness winners experienced struggles along the way but managed to stay or get back on track and maintain their healthy habits. Susan Elizabeth Chaney struggles with an eating disorder after losing a significant amount of weight. 

Choose a diet you can stick with. In other words, the specific plan matters a lot less than the effort you put into it. Some used intermittent fasting( 间歇性禁食), while others found eating smaller meals throughout the day to be more sustainable.

A．They can help people lose weight.

B．Set a healthy lifestyle for yourself.

C．There's no magic diet for wellness winners.

D．There are struggles and setbacks along the way.

E．But finding help and support made a big difference.

F．Along with lots of hard work, she managed to lose 167 pounds.

G．Others found a love of exercise—or a healthy combinationsof both.

A small group of paleontologists (古生物学家) recently discovered 10 species of ancient mammals previously unknown to science with the help of an enormous number of helpers at their dig site: ants. 

The study of ancient mammals throws new light on the diversityof mammals that existed in North America around 33 million to 35 million years ago, when the climate was changing dramatically. It also pays attention to the harvester ants, with which researchers have long had a love-hate relationship. "The ants are not fantastic when they're biting you," said Samantha Hopkins, a professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon. "But I've got to appreciate them because they make my job a whole lot easier."

Most species of harvester ants live in subterraneancaves that sit beneath a small hill of dirt. They strengthen the dirt by covering it with bits of rock and other tough materials. The ants have been known to travel over a hundred feet from their caves and to dig six feet deep in pursuit of materials that help secure their caves. The materials include fossils. Harvester ants can carry materials 10 times to 50 times the weight of their body, although they do not weigh very much, so the heaviest fossil they can collect weighs less than the average pill. 

Given the size, harvester ant hills are hot spots for what scientists call microvertebrate(微型脊椎动物) fossils, which are animal fossils too small to see without a microscope. For over a century, scientists like Dr. Hopkins have found sediment (沉积物) off the sides of harvester ant hills in search of these fossils, making it easier to find large numbers of fossilized mammal teeth without spending hours in the field sifting through sand and dirt.

The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer. I didn't want summer to end. But I was excited about going to high school for my first week.

When I got to school in the morning on the first day I realized how large the school was, and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. Luckily, a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar (不熟悉的) faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Casey. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher. She was exciting and fun.

After finishing four periods without too much of a challenge, I didn't feel too bad about ninth grade.

However, the fifth period changed everything.

The first week passed quickly.

Adam is a freshman at senior high school. (go) from junior high school to senior high school is really big challenge to him. So he felt a little (confuse) at first.

First, he had to choose the suitable courses. (lucky), his adviser helped him recommended that he should sign up for advanced literature.

He had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. To his (disappoint), when he tried to join the school football team, the coach refused him. However, he didn't lose hope. He'll find a way (improve) by himself so that he can join the team next year.

He knows he'll have to study (hard) as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible a lot. He'll be well prepared for university or whatever else (come) in the future.

When I first met Sarah, all I noticed was her drool (口水) running from the corner of her mouth. As Mrs. Wagner pushed the wheelchair towards me, I felt 1 . Why did she sit beside me?

For the entire morning, I was uneasy. Eventually, I nerved 2 to ask Mrs. Wagner, "Mrs. Wagner, can I have my 3 changed?"

She patted (拍) my shoulder gently and said, "Natalie, Sarah 4 our care. Try it."

Why? I didn't need a deskmate with running drool! I decided to 5 Sarah, at three o'clock, our 6 teacher came and said, "Kickball time! Put on your gym shoes." As I bent (弯腰) over to tie my shoes, Sarah caught my attention and I wondered 7 it feels to never walk. My 8 felt tight.

Mrs. Wagner asked me, "Natalie, 9 Sarah cannot kick, she can throw balls. Would you help her in the gym class?"

I had to 10 and push Sarah to the playground.

Firstly, Matt kicked the ball and it came to me. I handed it to Sarah and she 11 it, which just struck Mike's heel!

"You got him out!" I shouted. Sarah 12 happily. Then I laughed, too. The rest of the game was 13 and we all enjoyed ourselves.

At the end of the day, Sarah read a journal entry to us, "My 14 day of school went well. I had fun playing kickball. I made a nice new friend, Natalie."

Sarah 15 at me. I didn't notice her drool. What I saw was a new friend, a friend I had almost missed.

Parents with high expectations for their children are nothing new to Chinese kids. However, people often don't realize that children also have expectations of their parents.

China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey in 2018 on this topic in the United States, Japan, South Korea and China. It showed that 83.8 percent of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents.

But the reality is different. Respecting one's elders and the concept of hierarchy are preventing parents from becoming friends with their children.

. As children, what can you do to create a pleasant atmosphere at home and make friends with your parents?

Act like an adult.

If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you're ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well.

US psychologist Carl E. Pickhardt wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with our parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.

Do something nice or helpful for your parents. For example, help them with some home chores, make them gifts or teach them some computer skills. Their trust in you will grow.

A. Open your heart.

B. Traditional Chinese values might be a reason.

C. Be a good student at school.

D. Both parents and children should make efforts to create friendship in the family.

E. Care for your parents.

F. Chinese parents tend to spoil their children.

G. What expectations do Chinese children have for parent-child relationships?

Have you ever heard someone say "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" or explain to you why it's vital to start the day with a healthy breakfast? It seems that this meal, for many of us, is necessary for our day to start well, but is it really that important?

The word "breakfast" comes from "breaking the fast (禁食期)" — the idea of ending the period in which we don't eat during the night. The regeneration process that takes place while we are sleeping consumes some of our natural food reserves in our bodies. Breakfast gives us an opportunity to replenishthose reduced stores of things like protein and calcium. So, in that way, a healthy breakfast makes sense.

There are also many studies which seem to relate a state of obesity(肥胖) to skipping breakfast. In fact, it leads many health experts to conclude that a healthy breakfast not only regulates but also loses weight. In a U.S. study, 50,000 people were observed over seven years, and those who ate a healthy breakfast were found to have a lower BMI, which seems to suggest that breakfast may indeed help people maintain a healthy weight. 

But it might not be as simple as that. Some experts, like Alexandra Johnstone, professor of the University of Aberdeen, suggest those who skip breakfast might be less aware of healthy diets, and people who eat breakfast might have a healthier lifestyle overall — exercising and not smoking, for example. And with the popularity of intermittent (间歇的) fasting to lose weight, there may also be some benefits to skipping breakfast. Intermittent fasting can improve blood sugar control, insulin sensitivity, and lower blood pressure. 

So, while breakfast has its benefits, it might not be the most important meal. It seems that a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet might be more important for us than just one single meal.

Here are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.

University of Illinois

Students are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.

To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).

Your pet can't be left for extended periods of time, and if there's evidence that you've left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.

Harvard University

With as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard's Cronkhite Graduate Center.

In Harvard's pet-friendly apartments, you're allowed: one cat or one dog, which can't be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.

University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university's B. A. R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.

B. A. R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn't walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B. A. R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.

University of Oxford

The University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.

Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.

The easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat my father to a special meal. I glanced through the cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as he left for work. 

As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Dad loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face him laughing at my work. 

I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Dad got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. 

Looking out, I saw Dad standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in the rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. 

Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the. fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the "living thing" was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing, Dad or me.
