32、rprises“, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in t
33、wo weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all.

With so much conflicting nutritional information about, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Lets start by discounting these confusing myths. 1.
41、All calories are created equal What you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research. Calories from fat pack on the pounds. The reason: during digestion, the body bums many more calories metabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat. 2. Desse
42、rts are taboo Cakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. Cut down on other meals if you11 be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets. Or indulge, but take only a few bites. 3. Fast foods are forbidden A plain hamburger on a bun
