You can make healthy meals at home if you are willing to do the work involved in shopping

and cooking. But preparing haute cuisine (法式高级烹饪) in your own kitchen is another story. That takes a lot more effort and skill than most of us have. And even if you once did that kind of cooking, it probably doesn't appeal to you in your senior years.

The answer can be as easy as contacting Susan's Healthy Gourmet, an organization devoted to bringing delicious and healthy meals to your home. In fact, Susan's can supply you with three meals a day and the menu is decidedly selective and interesting. No boring institutional-style. meals from this company. And Susan's can accommodate people with special dietary needs.

The meals come in three different portion sizes -- adding up to 1,100, 1,500 or 1,800 calories (卡路里) per day fur three fresh meals. If you're watching your weight and want to be able to count calories, this is a great plan. Having healthy meals delivered is a real godsend, even for active seniors.

The Healthy Gourmet offerings can fit into a kosher (合于犹太戒律的) diet as well. You select the dishes you'd like to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- and you will get your four days of low-fat food delivered on Monday, and three more on Friday. All you'll have to do is heat the dishes for two to three minutes in your microwave and you'll have a nice meal.

Meals start as low as $4.95, and the service even remembers man's best friend with doggie bones sold by the dozen. Call toll-free at (888) EZ-MEALS, or the local number in La Join (858) 345-1256.

According to the first paragraph we may say that ______.

A．if you like cooking, you can make healthy meals

听力原文：W: I've just been reading an article on biotherapy.

M: Biotherapy？ What's that？

W: Well, it's an alternative health system based on the concept that energy is transmitted from one human being to another in order to heal psychologically or physically through regeneration.

M: Say that again, in English.

W: Well, I'll put it this way. A trained practitioner touches the patient in order to help the healing process.

M: Oh, I see. What kinds of things do they cure？

W: A variety of conditions and illnesses. According to the article, biotherapy can help people to lose weight, stop headaches, make ageing skin look youthful again, treat depression, even cure cancer.

M: Cure cancer？ That's pretty ambitious claim. So how does the treatment work？

W: It expels negative energy from the organism.

M: I don't think that such a confusing explanation would stop me from taking proper medicine if I were un- lucky enough to be ill.

W: No, well, that's the beauty of it. You can have conventional medicine together with biotherapy. Fancy going for a bio-energetic check up？

M: Well, I'm not so sure about that. Supposing you book an appointment and I come with you first,just to see？

Can Drugs Make Us Happier？ Samrter？

It depends on what is meant by "happy" and "smart."

There are already drugs that brighten moods, like Prozac, and other antidepressants that control levels of a brain chemical called serotonin. While originally meant to treat depression, these drugs have been used for other psychological conditions like shyness and anxiety and even by otherwise healthy people to feel better about themselves.

But is putting people in a better mood really making them happy？ People can also drown their sorrows in alcohol or get a euphoric feeling using narcotics, but few people who do so would be called truly happy.

The President's Council on Bioethics said in a recent report that while antidepressants might make some people happier, they can also substitute for what can truly bring happiness: a sense of satisfaction with one's identity, accomplishments and relationships.

"In tike pursuit of happiness human beings have always worried about falling for the appearance of happiness and missing its reality," the council wrote. It added, "Yet a fraudulent happiness is just what the pharmacological management of our mental lives threatens to confer upon us."

Now the race is on to develop pills to make people smarter, at least in one sense. These drugs, several of them already in clinical trials, aim at memory loss that occurs in people with Alzheimer's disease or a precursor called mild cognitive impairment.

But it is lost on no one that if a memory drug works and is safe, it may one day be used by healthy people to learn faster and remember longer.

Studies have already shown that animals can be made to do both whelk the activity of certain genes is increased or decreased. Dr. Tom 'Fully, a professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, created genetically engineered fruit flies that he said had "photographic memory." In one session, he said, they could learn something that took normal flies 10 sessions.

"It immediately convinced everyone that memory was going to be just another biological process," Dr. Tully said. "There's nothing special about it. That meant that it was going to be treatable and manip-ulable."

But experts say that improving memory will not necessarily make one smarter, in the sense of I.Q. , let alone in wisdom. "It would be a mistake to think that drugs that have an impact on memory necessarily will have an effect on intelligence," said Dr. Daniel L. Schachter, chairman of psychology at Harvard.

Dr. Tully, who is also acting chief scientific officer of Helicon Therapeutics, which is developing memory pills, agreed. "You don't think better than you did before,' he said. "You just get the facts in with less practice. ' Still, he said, that would be significant help to students at exam time.

Any pill used widely by healthy people to improve memory would have to be extremely safe, so that the risks would not outweigh the benefit. Psychological side effects also remain a possibility.

"Is it a good thing to remember everything？" Dr. Tully asked. Could a brain too crammed with information suffer some sort of overload？

Dr. Joe Z. Tsien, a professor of molecular biology at Princeton who genetically engineered smarter mice a few years ago, says he is skeptical that the results can be transferred to people.

"If you look at how people improve their brain power, it's through education," he said. "That has proven to have 100 percent efficiency with minimal side effects."

There are already antidepressants that control levels of a brain chemical called serotonin.

Breakfast

Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn&39;t take much further thought to believe that adults will feel better and perform. better at work as well .Whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to skip (故意略去 ) breakfast.

If we don&39;t eat breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel. By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee, or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunchtime we are hungry, bad-tempered, and perhaps our mood might make us a little more likely to make unhealthy choices at lunch. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.

People who eat breakfast are generally more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals, but that isn&39;t a good idea. The body expects to be refueled a few times a day, so start with a healthy breakfast.

A healthy breakfast should contain some protein (蛋白质) and some fiber (纤维) . Protein can come from meat, eggs, beans, or soy (大豆) . Fiber can be found in whole cereals (谷物), grains or in fruits.A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with soy milk.

Adults who eat breakfast will perform. better at work. 查看材料

听力原文： As the proverb says, "No one knows the value of health until he loses it." In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.

It is clear that health is the foundation of one's future success. If you become sick, it is nearly impossible to pursue your career effectively, much less to make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you. Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain our health？ First, we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours, ff we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says, "Prevention is better than cure." ff you pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick, or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.

In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are on more fortunate than those who are poor, but healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component of your success.

(30)

A．Wealth.

B．Health.

C．Habit.

D．Disease.

Family ties, friendships and involvement in social activities can offer a psychological bu

ffer against stress, anxiety and depression. Social support can also help you cope better with health problems.

Cultivating social support can take some effort. Here's how to develop and maintain strong and healthy social ties.

Understanding the importance of social support

Social support isn't the same as a support group. Social support is a network of family, friends, colleagues and other acquaintances you can turn to, whether in times of crisis or simply for fun and entertainment. Support groups, on the other hand, are generally more structured meetings or self-help groups, often run by mental health professionals.

Simply talking with a friend over a cup of coffee, visiting with a relative, or attending a church outing is good for your overall health. If you have a mental illness, these connections can help you weather troubled times. Your friends and social contacts may encourage you to change unhealthy lifestyle. habits, such as excessive drinking. Or they may urge you to visit your doctor when you feel depressed, which can prevent problems from escalating.

Social support can also increase your sense of belonging, purpose and self-worth, promoting positive mental health. It can help you get through a divorce, a job loss, the death of a loved one or the addition of a child to your family.

And you don't necessarily have to actually lean on family and friends for support to reap the benefits of those connections. Just knowing that they're there for you can help you avoid unhealthy reactions to stressful situations.

Developing a social support system

Some people benefit from large and diverse social support systems, while others prefer a smaller circle of friends and acquaintances. In either case, it helps to have plenty of friends to turn to. That way, someone is always available when you need them, without putting undue demands on any one person. You don't want to wear out your friends.

If you want to expand your social support network, here are some things you can do:

Get out with your pet. Seek out a dog park or make conversation with those who stop to talk.

Work out. Join a class through a local gym, senior center or community fitness facility. Or start a lunchtime walking group at work.

Do lunch. Invite an acquaintance to join you for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Volunteer. Hospitals, places of worship, museums, community centers and other organizations often need volunteers. You can form. strong connections when you work with people who share a mutual interest.

Join a cause. Get together with a group of people working toward a goal you believe in, such as an election or the cleanup of a natural area.

Join a hobby group. Find a nearby group with similar interests in such things as auto racing, music, gardening, books or crafts.

Go back to school. Take a college or community education course to meet people with similar interests.

Having a variety of interests can create new opportunities to meet people. And it may also help make you more interesting to others.

Maintaining a mutually healthy social support system

Developing and maintaining healthy social ties involves give and take. Sometimes you're the one giving support and other times you're on the receiving end. Recognize who is able to provide you with the most support. Letting family and friends know you love and appreciate them will help ensure that their support remains strong when times are rough.

Your social support system will help you if you take time to nurture friendships and family relationships. Here are some things to keep in mind:

Go easy. Don't overwhelm friends and family with phone cal

Weight Control: The Power of Healthy ChoicesWhat Is a Healthy Weight for Me？This is a toug

Weight Control: The Power of Healthy Choices

What Is a Healthy Weight for Me？

This is a tough question to answer. Even though many people talk about weight, what really matters is how much of your body weight is fat. The body mass index (BMI) is an approximate measure of body fat. It is based on your height and weight. A BMI between 19 and 25 is considered a normal amount of body fat. If someone's BMI is 25 to 29.9, that person is said to be overweight. A person is said to be obese (过度肥胖的) if his or her BMI is 30 or higher. The higher your BMI is, the greater your risk for diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and certain cancers is.

Some Causes That Can Lead to Being Overweight

Having weight problems in your family.

Eating when you're lonely, sad, bored or stressed.

Eating because you feel pressured by friends or family to eat.

Using food for recreation, or eating just because food is available.

Taking medicine that makes you feel hungry.

Having hormone problems that slow your metabolism (how fast your body burns calories).

How Can I Lower My BMI？

The best way to lower your BMI is to reduce the total number of calories you take in and to be more physically active.Long-term success is not about finding the "right" diet. It's about identifying your behaviours that have contributed to taking in more calories than your body needs. It is also about making a plan to develop healthier eating and physical activity habits. For example, you may eat when you're under stress rather than when you're hungry. Choosing another activity to do when you feel stressed, such as taking a walk, may help you break the habit of eating at those times.

You're more likely to make changes in your habits if you set a specific goal for yourself. For example, instead of saying "I'm going to lose 20 pounds", decide that you'll be more active every other day of the week. Be specific about what kind of activity you'll do and which days you'll do it. Your new goal might be: "During my lunch hour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I'm going to walk for half an hour in the park." Once your new healthy behaviour becomes a habit, you can move on to another goal.

Why Is Physical Activity a Big Deal？

Physical activity builds muscles, so even if you don't lose pounds, you will look and feel better when you are more active. Being active also reduces your risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, even if you are overweight.

What Is the Best Kind of Activity？

First, ask your family doctor if there is any kind of physical activity that you should not do. Being more physically active doesn't mean you need to have a formal or complicated exercise program. Remember that the best kind of activity is the kind that you'll keep doing. Whatever activity you choose, try to do it for at least 30 minutes per day on most days of the week.

Aerobic exercises, such as swimming, walking or jogging, raise your heart rate and help burn calories. The longer you exercise, the more fat your body will burn. Walking can be very helpful even if you don't walk fast.

Light weight training also has many health benefits. It helps add muscle mass to your body. Muscle burns calories faster than fat does.

How Can I Change My Eating Habits？

Change them one at a time. For example, start by training yourself to eat without doing anything else at the same time.Focus on enjoying the taste and smell of your food by eating more slowly. Don't watch TV, talk on the phone or drive a car while you eat.

Healthy Habits

Eat breakfast.

Eat your biggest meal of the day at lunchtime.

Begin meals with a low-fat salad, soup, broth or a
