26、We all love eating out. But, is it bothering you because you are on a diet and have to dine with a friend? Sure, you will be concerned about the amount of calories, fat or salt in a restaurant’s menu items.【1】

Choose the right place.

Always plan ahead when you know that you have to dine out. Look for the restaurants that serve delicious meals that are low in fat.【2】 You’re more likely to overeat there. Once you’ve decided the place, get familiar with their food menu.Decide what you’re going to order before you go.

Start with a soup.

One easy approach to stick to your diet when eating out is starting with a soup.【3】 This will keep you from sitting hungry and filling you up. A soup is the first course that you order when eating out.

【4】

Salt improves food’s flavour and is often used heavily in restaurant meals. When you dine out, ask the attendant to prepare food without added salt. Ask about the ingredients to see if there are items that may be higher in salt. Moreover, it is better to limit the use of condiments (调料) such as mustard, ketchup, pickle and sauces as they may contain salt that you don’t need. Instead of salty appetisers (开胃小吃), choose fruit and vegetable salad.

Don’t eat it all.

【5】 To avoid overeating, you can split a meal with a companion or put half the meal in a plate and leave the rest.

Sticking to a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to turn down everyone’s offer when asked to eat out.

A．You have to be very particular about serving sizes when dining out.

B．Just make sure you make healthier choices.

C．Avoid eating at places that offer all-you-can-eat buffets (自助餐).

For example, if you are working on an important topic, why do you think that you can write well at midnight just before the conference? Writing can be a miracle if you are given enough time.

Writing requires practice. 【2】 Would you do nothing before running a marathon? No, you would practice running gradually to make your body stronger. In order to become a writer, you need to write.

Write at the best time. I happen to be a morning person, so I write early in the day. Then I spend the rest of my day teaching or having meetings. 【3】

【4】 Or, at least, they are not correct to some extent. Nearly all of the best scholars are changed by their experiences in doing research and writing about it. They learn by doing, and sometimes what they learn is that they were wrong.

29、How To Teach Your Children Proper Manners

Do you think that proper manners are going the way of the dinosaur?【1】It’s not! Follow the steps below and you will have polite little citizens soon!

【2】As soon as your children are able to talk, they can be taught proper manners. “Please” and “thank you” are the beginning steps, and the basics, and your child can learn them starting on day one. When your son hands you a toy, say, “thank you.” If you are asking your daughter to stop screeching, say “please”. You will soon find them repeating your example.

Teach phone manners.【4】“Hello, this is Suzie Q speaking.” When you are otherwise unwilling, teach them to say, “Mom is unavailable right now.

Teach eye contact. When your child is speaking to an adult, teach him to look the adult in the eye and speak clearly.【5】When an adult asks a question, the child should give a polite answer. Ignoring an adult, or anyone who speaks to a you, is rude and grounds for punishment.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The first time we set eyes on “Big Red,” father, mother and I were trudging through the freshly fallen snow and passing the Eaton’s department store’s window. We stopped as usual to gaze and do a bit of dreaming. The gaily decorated window display the breathtaking skirt of Big Red. Mother’s eyes were glued to the massive flame of red. “My goodness,” she managed to say in wonder, “would you just look at that dress?” Then, totally out of character, mother twirled one spin of a waltz (华尔兹) on the slippery sidewalk. Beneath the heavy grey wool coat she had worn every winter for as long as I could remember, mother lost her balance and tumbled. Father quickly caught her.

Her cheeks redder than usual, “Oh, stop that!” She ordered as he swept the snow from her coat. “What a silly dress to be placed up there in the window of Eaton’s!” She shook her head in disgust. “Who on earth would want such a fancy but useless dress?” As we continued down the street, mother turned back for one more look.

Christmas was nearing , and the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, of all people, was not one to wish for, or spend money on items that were not practical. “There are things we need more than this or that,” she’d always say. Father, on the other hand, liked to satisfy whenever the budget allowed. Of course, he’d get scolded for his occasional splurging (挥霍), but it was all done with the best intention.

On our last trip to town before Christmas, we were driving up Main Street when Mother suddenly shouted in surprise: “Would you just look at that!” She pointed excitedly as Dad drove past Eaton’s.

“That big real dress is gone,” she said in disbelief. “It’s actually gone.”

“Well…!” Dad chucked. “Oh God, it is!”

“Who’ d be fool enough to buy such a dress?” Mother questioned, shaking her head.

I quickly stole a glance at Dad. His blue eyes were twinkling as he nudged me with his elbow. Mother craned her neck for another glimpse out the window as we rode on up the street. “It’s gone…” She whispered, a trace of story in her voice.

Paragraph 1:

I’ll never forget that Christmas morning

Paragraph 2:

Mother opened the box only to find a red shining dress.
