When I was young, I lived in a place where had a lot of trees, many rivers, and was near a big lake. We had a large house with a garden and lots of grasses. My brothers and sisters and I played outside whenever we could in my own yard, in our neighbors’ yards, and in the empty yards down the street. We ride bikes and played ballgames with friends. But I always thought that there was something missing in my environment, as wonderfully as it was. I liked going to the big lake the most. Even there, though, I felt I needed anything more. The lake was big, and you could still see land on the other side.
One day, my family took trip to New York City. As we drove on the freeway, I looked out the window at the ocean. For as far as I could see, there was no land on the other side. I rolled down the window and heard from the sounds of the sea birds. They seemed to call me, tell me I would never be able to live away from the sea again.
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Many years ago, Manhattan Island, 1. is a part of the great city of New York, 2. (cover) with forest. Along its shores were small Indian villages.

I still remember the moment I looked at my saving book when I had only two clients all month. I started my speech pathology (言语病理学) practice in 1998 and gradually the business to 13 employees. But last year, people were not able to speech therapy (言语治疗) because of the economic crisis. I cut my own because I didn’t want to let any of my staff go. my husband, Brian, lost his job.
We had 11 in all and our oldest four were already and away from home. We’ve always been interested in food sources and the kids where their came from. We love fresh vegetables, eggs or meat directly from small farms, which are safe and . So we wondered what if we started farming.
When a local farmer we get some laying hens because there was a market for fresh , our plan came together. It was scary and . What if no one bought anything? people did buy the eggs. The local farmer took eggs to to his customers, and today he purchases about 20 dozen a week from us.
The children out, which is important we already have 270 laying hens and 200 chickens.
The speech therapy business is still , but I put in less than ten hours a week. I know that on the , there is life, there is physically satisfying work, and our family members more to each other. Our quality of life is so much better. I spend most of the day with my children, which I was grateful . And at night, I have the good feelings that come from working with my hands and doing something positive.

Camping is an American tradition, and especially important for families. 1.
★Time together
Camping allows you to spend quality time as a family. Most family members are too caught up in their everyday lives to stop and spend time with each other. At home there are just too many distractions, such as televisions. 2. On a camping trip one can spend time with one’s kids and form a real relationship.

Doctors have a new weapon in the battle against obesity (过度肥胖) — a talking plate that tells people not to eat too quickly. The Mandometer monitors the amount of food leaving the plate, and tells users, “Please eat more slowly.”
The £1,500 Swedish device is to be used in a National Health Service plan to help hundreds of obese families lose weight. It comes in two parts — a scale placed under the plate and a small computer screen showing a graphic(图表) of the food gradually disappearing as the user eats. A red line on the screen shows the user’s eating speed, while a blue line shows a healthy rate. If the user eats too fast, the red line angles away from the blue one, warning him or her to ease off. If the lines deviate (偏离) too much, the computer voice comes on, and the screen flashes the message “Are you feeling full yet?” to remind users to think about whether they have had enough.
Britain has an increasingly serious obesity problem, with one in four adults and one in seven children classed as obese. After a recent trial using the device, experts believe teaching obese people to eat more slowly will help them know when they are full. Around 600 families with at least one obese parent and child (aged five or older) were targeted in the project by Bristol University, along with GPs and nurses.
Professor Julian Hamilton-Shield, who is leading the plan, says obese children and adolescents using the Mandometer ate from 12 to 15 percent less per meal at the end of the 12-month trial. Six months after they stopped using the device they still ate less, and continued to lose weight. “It will be a powerful tool to help families retrain their eating habits,” he says.

A. A healthy rate of eating. B. Too much food is left.

A. The device can help obese people form good eating habits.
B. Every family will have such a device soon.

3. The underlined phrase ease off is closest in meaning to ______.

A. 25% of children are obese in Britain.
B. One in seven adults is obese in Britain.
C. Children using the Mandometer ate less after the trial.
