When Allison Winn was eight and her family adopted a dog named Coco, they had no idea how much the little creature would change her life. “Coco helped me feel better,” says Allison, who was recovering from l4 months of treatment for a brain cancer at the time. “She would cuddle（偎依) with me when I didn't want to play.” Allison loved Coco so much that she told her parents she wanted to help other sick kids find the same kind of comfort.

She started small, raising money by selling lemonade and home-made dog biscuits in front of her house. Her first customer was the mailman. By the end of that summer, she had raised nearly $l,000, enough to adopt and train two dogs and give them to children with cancer. Now, a little more than two years later, some groups gather to make dog treats for Allison's cause.

Her organization, the Stink Bug Project, named after a picture she drew in memory of the end of her treatment, is run and managed in partnership with the Morgan Adams Foundation. Stink Bug helps families adopt pets from the Trained K9 Companion Program, where the rescued dogs are taught commands. Allison's mother, Dianna Litvak, who helps run Stink Bug, hopes to extend the pet-adoption program statewide and continue donating some of the money to help fund children's cancer research.

“Allison has figured out how to help - in a way that no one else has,” Litvak says. “We involve her younger sister, Emily, her friends, the adopting families, and some others. It took the love of a little girl to wrap all that together into one amazing package.”

It can be challenging to find time to work out(鍛煉)when your schedule is full, but unless you want to deal with a waistline(腰圍) that keeps increasing in size, staying active is important. 1.__

Workday

You might not have time to escape the office and visit the gym during your lunch break, but that doesn’t mean you can’t burn calories throughout your workday. Instead of driving to work or riding the bus, walk or cycle, depending on how far you live from the office. A 30-minute bike ride at just 12 to 13.9 mph will help a 155-pound person burn 298 calories. 2._ Instead of phoning a colleague across the office, walk over to speak in person.

At home

You probably want to sit or sleep on the couch, but by keeping active around the house, you can burn a significant number of calories throughout the day. 3.__ Playing with your kids for 30 minutes will help you burn 186 calories if you weigh 155 pounds, while you’ll burn 167 calories in a half-hour house-cleaning session.

Outdoors

4.__ If you weigh 155 pounds, expect to burn 172 calories for every half hour you spend weeding the garden. You’ll burn 205 calories in 30 minutes of pushing your lawnmower(割草機(jī)) around the yard. When winter arrives, cleaning snow is worth 223 calories per 30 minutes.

Other

Everyday errands(差事) can help you burn extra calories when you can’t find time to work out. 5._Washing your car by hand will burn 167 calories in 30 minutes. By parking your car at the far end of the parking lot, you’ll burn more calories getting to and from your vehicle.

A. You can make adjustments to your lifestyle to include a variety of calorie-burning activities into everyday life.

B. Pushing a shopping cart around the supermarket causes 130 calories burned in a

half hour.

C. Instead of paying to clean up the yard, do it yourself.

D. At work, take the stairs instead of the lift.

E. Don’t visit a car wash to shine up your ride.

F. If you have a family, play with your kids.

My parents decided try a new Western restaurant last weekend, so I went with them. The evening started well and the menu looks good. I had soup with my starter but the waiter didn't bring a spoon so it was getting a bit cold after I could eat it. Then, for our main course, I had a piece of beef. Besides, I couldn't cut the beef because of my knife wasn't very good. For my dessert I had a apple pie but I didn't have a fork or a spoon so I ate them with my fingers! What a terribly experience!
