or the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That's just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself。 But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt.

after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a

little while everything will be turned upside down。\

There has always been a gap between generations, but more people

talk about it now. Old Mr。 Ellis thinks he understands what has

happened。

many ways. From it, they make a food called Kombu. Kombu is seaweed th

at has been dried, cooked and pressed together. Then it is dried again and cu

Japanese farmers often use seaweed as fertilizer. It makes their

plants grow better。 Many farmers also find seaweed makes a fine food for their animals. From seaweed the Japanese also get iodine(碘), which they sell to other countries.

The child laughs as the stick jumps around。 The child is African, and the toy is the African Goliath beetle, the largest insect in the world。 The Goliath is a true insect because it has six legs and a body that is divided into three parts。 Like all beetles, it has two pairs of wings。 The front pair are thick and stiff and protect the back pair, which are soft. It is these soft back wings that make the beetle fly forward. They also cause the loud whirring sound the beetle makes when it flies.

You are not alone。 Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods。 Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods. With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you。 Do not miss meals. Before yon leave home for a feast(宴会), have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods。 Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough。 Better not have high-fat foods。 Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them。 Choose lean meat(瘦肉 )。Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits。 They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays。 A 20—minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories. 21。 Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may _____.
