Each year, on the 15th day of the seventh month in the Chinese lunar calendar, the Ghost Festival is celebrated all over Asia. On this day, it  (believe) that the gates of Heaven and Hell open up,  (allow) the spirits of all the dead to visit the Earth. During this time, people will burn offerings (祭品) and prepare fancy meals  (pay) respect to the dead.

Similar holidays are celebrated all around the world. However, these holidays tend to be less gloomy (阴郁的)  Chinese holidays. In the Western world, Halloween, Oct 31 every year, is mainly celebrated by  (light) pumpkin lanterns and dressing up in costumes (服装). It is considered  a time to remember and honor the dead. The Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico on Nov.1&2 each year. People will build altars (祭坛) at home and decorate them with candles, flowers, skulls (骷髅头) and gifts. Around the altar, people pray and tell stories about the dead. This holiday is also  (joy). In some public areas, there are even parties at night.

Death is a  (frighten) thing. But holidays like these can help us to better understand death as a natural part of life, can remind us to value our own time on Earth and encourage us to live our best  (life).

15 years ago when I was playing basketball in one of Australia's premier basketball leagues, I remember a sports psychologist we had for the season. As young professional athletes with highegos (自我价值感), the team were not quite convinced the techniques of psychology would1 performance, especially when it didn't involve using the physical strength and endurance needed to2 the weeks of training and games. I,3 , was interested.

We were trained in a visualization technique used before games. It involved moving ourselves into a meditative (冥想的) state and taking ourselves on a journey into the 4 to recreate the experience of a game, From 5 home, getting to the stadium, being in the change room, walking out onto the ________ 6 and then finally visualizing how we would play and see ourselves 7 . The most important part of the 8 was to bring to life the vivid details of each stage, while also focusing on the 9 that came with it. We were trained to 10 fear, doubt and learned to go beyond them, so that by the time we got onto the court, we were grounded, 11 and ready to play.

What I learnt most from this technique was that winning games was important but how we 12 to play was even more vital. And 13 visualization was a powerful way to see through to the 14 , there were absolutely no 15 in the hard work of getting there.

Diets aren't the way to go when it comes to losing weight. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits. Here are some ways to make that happen:

•Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle — both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off. Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercises to build muscle. 

• People who spend a lot of time watching TV, playing video games, and using computers are more likely to be overweight. Set reasonable limits on the amount of such time you spend.

•Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals. This means they fill you up. And when you fill up on fruits and veggies, you're less likely to overeat.

•Don't skip breakfast. Breakfast starts your metabolism(新陈代谢), burning calories from the beginning of the day and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. In fact, people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs(体重质量指数) than people who eat breakfast.

A. Set realistic goals.

B. Reduce screen time.

C. They're also rich in fiber(食物纤维).

D. So what's the best way to drop extra weight?

E. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn.

F. Thus they get more calories than they would have if they ate breakfast.

G. So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.
