15、vious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him. A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful (得体的) way I“ve ever seen.

16、o drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. At last he clicked (一见如故) with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be. Of course this solution may not work for you. You ma

21、lt population has a “weight problem“. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder phy
22、sically, walked more, used machines much less and didn“t watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance,
23、 fat people eat less than slim people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Standford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount
24、 of food they ate.

He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the
28、 history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype. In abou
29、t 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous Am
