125.The movie star( )with your sister, didn‘t he?

1、Translation 9
The secret of success is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. If you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. Our National Father, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, is the most ideal example. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won, the Republic of China was born.

speed for hundreds of miles.

1、Passage 3Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more
health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more nutritiously and
exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with
how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many
avoid the so called ―plastic‖ fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more
healthful ingredients(成分) in a quiet restaurant with a more leisurely atmosphere. At home, they
also try to take enough time to eat a relaxing dinner without phone or TV interruptions.
While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for
Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological
addiction(依赖). They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body
weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.
The current waves of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many
organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations,
newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing booklet articles, etc. to
inform the public of the way to exercise and diet, of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the
places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to ―diet addiction‖.2. What changes have people made in the atmosphere of mealtime?
