The authors say its time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets dont work, and when it comes to nutrition, its about doing what works best for your body,

18、 not catching the latest diet fashion. For years, weve been trying to search for that silver-bullet diet and weve been miserably failing, Segal said. And thats because the best diet for each person really has to be tailored to that individual. They conducted a personalised nutrition project at Weizm

19、ann, where hundreds of volunteers agreed to have their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant in the study, a woman named Ruti, said she was surprised that it was tomatoes - not ice cream or candies - that were raising her blood sugar level. Ruti recalled, I have now significantly reduced m

20、y intake of tomato and Im feeling much more energetic, which still surprises me.

25、the importance of good bread.CWhen David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas（UT）at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia（精神分裂症） later and spe

26、nt many years without a home. Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student ne

I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him, said Chandler. He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he o

28、nly has 64 hours to go. With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UTs College of Fine Arts. Its the greatest gift Ive ever received, Carter said. He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldnt have done it without him. Aft

29、er seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees（学费）without telling Chandler his name. Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, David Carters decision to complete his degree is a testament（证明） to finishing well what was started,

30、and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily.

36、you quit well before you ever become good at it.

Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent

37、, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.
