I was fat kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was laughed at for being heavier than the other kids, me feeling shy. I tried several diets, but worked, and I gaining weight. Another factor my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating.

When I finished high school at the age of 18, I weighed 215 pounds. the self-confidence to go to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home instead of going away to college. I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes.

My turning point came 10 years later at a friend's New Year's Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my in a mirror and the truth hit me: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and .

After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss and realized they didn't work because they required me to abandon foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food and binge, the diet satisfy my hunger and not feel deprived.

My biggest was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen to prevent myself thinking about food. The result: Food was all I thought about. had to be some way to combine cooking with healthful eating. I found the after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.

The pounds started coming off, and when I started exercising (usually cardio and weight training five times a week), they seemed to melt away. I didn't feel deprived, and I felt free to give my body the care and attention it .

I lost 165 pounds over the next two years. I had many ups and downs. I was determined to go on. Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits. Instead I vowed to start again and always keep my goal in mind.

Thanks to losing weight and becoming fit I am my body and myself. I have finally found myself.

Chinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned（譴責(zé)） lack of morals in society after a toddler（學(xué)步的幼兒） was struck twice –by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl．

The incident, captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong （TVS），showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct.13, in Foshan City of Guangdong Province．

The driver fled the scene of the accident，leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk．Over the next six minutes，more than a dozen people walked by the girl，yet not one individual did anything to help her．The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses．

Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized，remains in a deep coma．The girl’s parents，who are migrants living in the city，are now with her．

Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested．However，the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public，as Internet forums have seethed with anger， and people are questioning the morality of society．

High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public．

But in recent years，the perception（觀念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society’s values．

On Sept.2 an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed，his face striking the pavement．Yet，no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose．

Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans （模范人物）to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her．

A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（責(zé)任）, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma．

Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator，said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society．

People are being lured(引誘) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.

Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.

The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default（默認(rèn)）, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “l(fā)ess satisfying experience.”

Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?

The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.

I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering deactivating（撤銷） my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.

A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.

A. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook

3.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?

A. To help its users make more friends

B. To obey the Federal guidelines

C. To make money by attracting more users

D. To offer better service to its users

4.What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?

A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites

B. Setting rules for social-networking sites

Once Napoleon stayed in a small inn. The next morning he went to thank the innkeeper. “I want to rewarded you,” said Napoleon.

“Thank you, sir. Will you tell me something as a reward?” said the innkeepers. “During the war, the Russians took control of a farm house which you were sleeping, so you hide yourself in a pile of hay. What did you feel then?”

Napoleon looked angrily and called two soldiers take the innkeeper and his wife out to the garden, as both of their hands tied. “Ready! Aim!” Napoleon said. Felt frightened, the innkeeper’s wife cried.
