26、eather comes around, you will find her planting, watering and weeding over everything.

After the flowers became plentiful each summer, she would cut colorful bouquets (花束) to enjoy inside

27、the houses both hers and mine. I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement (布置) of fresh flowers on my coffee table.Shortly before Christmas one year, a local flower shop offered a bouquet-a-month special. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had

28、 given me through the years. After the holidays, in early January, I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first months bouquet. The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase (花瓶). I was so embarrassed (尴尬的). However, after we returned home, she began to arrange the flowers s

29、he had received. “Mom, Im sorry,” I told her. “I cant believe how skimpy that bouquet is.” She looked at me smiling. “Its okay.” She said. “It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one.” Mons words helped me to realize something bigger and more important when we have too many good things, we

But the truth is that you can have last nights leftovers in the morning if you want to. I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of

33、different excuses for doing it. Some say they dont have time, others think theyre saving calories, still others just dont like breakfast food. But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when youre trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories wo

34、uld be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this years “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if its loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most w

35、eight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.So eat something in the

36、morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice.

40、e summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool.

41、 was, so I thought him a fair game.
