He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did. During the first five days he was hungry at his regular mea
21、l times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening,when he ate his one meal,he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next five days,although he was not hungry during the day,he quickly noticed every food stall. And the smell of food caught his attenti
22、on. During the third and fourth weeks,he had hunger pains and lack physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite.

23、tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequendy noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food.

28、people of the world 25 A college education is not just preparation for a career,however. In addition to taking courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective(选修的 ) courses.

Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college, recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the class

31、rs degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthy and the academically talented. It is available to anyone who wants to go. Right now about 15 million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academ

Caesar Barber is going to court because he says that high-fat foods at McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants fou
39、r or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight.

When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often,he said,“I was single,it was quick,and Im not a ve
40、ry good cook. “ Barbers lawyer,Samuel Hirsch,says that the suit has two different purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts.
