How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves （or for anyone else）．Registered dietitian （营养专家） Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help．
“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients．For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake．Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice — the rest is largely colored sugar water．You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior, ”she emphasizes．
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it’s the foundation of a healthful diet．Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance．
According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search．As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food．
“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace．The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains．“We need them all, but in a very different proportions．And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless．”

Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating（激发）yourself to turn this vision（梦想）of the future into reality．The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life．By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts．You’ll also quickly spot the distractions（分心）that would otherwise keep you off your course．
More than this, properly-set goals can be incredibly motivating, and as you get into the habit of setting and achieving goals, you’ll find that your self-confidence builds fast．
Goal setting techniques are used by top level athletes, successful business-people and achievers in all fields．They give you long-term vision and short-term motivation．They focus your learning of knowledge and help you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the very most of your life．
By setting sharp, clearly-defined（详细说明的）goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals．You can see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind（苦差事）．By setting goals, you will also raise your self-confidence, as you recognize your ability and competence in achieving the goals that you have set．
Goals are set on a number of different levels: First you create your “big picture” of what you want to do with your life, and decide what large-scale goals you want to achieve．Second, you break these down into the smaller and smaller targets that you must hit so that you reach your lifetime goals．Finally, once you have your plan, you start working down to the things you can do today．Start moving towards them so that you can achieve your goal step by step．

If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret according to a British market research document released last week．
Researchers peered （凝视） into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles．They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents．
They say those people can be divided into five categories: “nutrition nerds”, “food faddies”, “martyr mums”, “fast food fanatics” and “restaurant regulars”．
“Nutrition nerds” care much about what they put into their bodies．Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat．People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy．The vast majority are single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar．
A fridge full of vitamins — enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion．They tend not to eat the foods they buy．Known as the “food faddies”, they just want to be seen as buying the latest important things．
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the “martyr mum”．Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want．This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life．
“Fast food fanatics” always buy mineral water for soda pop （汽水）; the nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce．Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard．Also, someone who is not into long term planning．
Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life．The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants．
1.We can know from the first two paragraphs that _________________．

As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home．The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable．Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home．This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men's names instead．
Teaching was the first profession （职业） open to women soon after 1800．But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men．Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women．

The invention of the typewriter （打字机） in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world．By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America．Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers．The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted．

There once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people．He would open his shop at 8:00 a．m．after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p．m．he would go for lunch．In the evening at 8:30 p．m．he closed his shop to complete his daily routine．
