Glynis Davis I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 21 bs in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year but it didn’t happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I’d lost the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps didn’t make any difference--but the scales don’t lie.Roz Juma To be honest, I never weigh myself any more--I’ ve learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple: You shouldn’t be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super--thin body’. This is obviously the size I’ m meant to be and, most of all, I’ m happy with it.Lesley Godwin I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem--perhaps I didn’t relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I feel a failure because I’ ye put on weight again. I find it humiliating and embarrassing.Ros Langford Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 8 stones, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stones in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet, I’ m really good for a few days, then end up eating the children’s leftovers or gorging on chocolate my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older.Julia Minifie I’ m a compulsive eater. I can’t control my urges and I really love cakes. When I’ m Slim I feel like a million dollars--and when I’ m not I get very depressed. Over the years I’d tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined I’d never put the weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution, and it started to creep on again. Certainly I will face the same problem in the future. Now match each of the women to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. StatementsA. I put on weight after I got married.B. The heavier, the merrier.C. Facts speak louder than words.D. I like myself as I am.E. I’m constantly at war with my weight.F. Fame doesn’t necessarily mean success.G. I think I’ll be slim again. Lesley Godwin

Today, more than ______ percent of U.S. physicians are women.
Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do, especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day. "It’s amazing how. many candidates eliminate themselves, "he says."Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job"Can we pay too much attention to details Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the trees, "says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco," we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else."Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time," says Garfield, "but a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary. "Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others’ success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow. The word "perfectionists" (Para. 3 )refers to those who（）
Academic areas are mainly controlled by ______.
Science develops through objective analysis, instead of through personal belief. Knowledge gained in science accumulates as time goes by, building on work performed earlier. Some of this knowledge-such as our understanding of numbers-stretches back’ to the time of ancient civilizations, when scientific thought first began. Other scientific knowledge such as our understanding of genes that cause cancer or of quarks (the smallest known building block of matter) -dates back less than 50 years. However, in all fields of science, old or new, researchers use the same systematic approach, known as the scientific method, to add to what is known.41__________. For example, in 1676, the English physicist Robert Hooke discovered that elastic objects, such as metal springs, stretch in proportion to the force that acts on them. Despite all the advances that have been made in physics since 1676, this simple law Still holds true.42__________. Sometimes scientific predictions go much further by describing objects or events that are not yet known. An outstanding instance occurred in 1869, when the Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleyev drew up a periodic table of the elements arranged to illustrate patterns of recurring chemical and physical properties.43__________. At the time, most geologists discounted Wegener’s ideas, because the Earth’s crust seemed to be fixed. But following the discovery of plate tectonics in the 1960s, in which scientists found that the Earth’s crust is actually made of moving plates, continental drift became an important part of geology.Through advances like these, scientific knowledge is constantly added to and refined. As a result, science gives us an ever more detailed insight into the way the world around us works.44__________. However, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, this rapidly changed. Today, science has a profound effect on the way we live, largely through technology--the use. of scientific knowledge for practical45__________. The refrigerator, for example, owes its existence to a discovery that liquids take in energy when they evaporate, a phenomenon known as latent heat.A. Scientists utilize existing knowledge in new scientific investigations to predict how things will behave. For example, a scientist who knows the exact dimensions of a lens can predict how the lens will focus a beam of light. In the same way, by knowing the exact makeup and properties of two chemicals, a researcher can predict what will happen when they combine.B. For a large part of recorded history, science had little bearing on people’s everyday lives. Scientific knowledge was gathered for it sown sake, and it had few practical applications.C. During scientific investigations, scientists put together and compare new discoveries and existing knowledge. In most cases, new discoveries extend what is currently accepted, providing further evidence that existing ideas are correct.D. Tile principle of latent heat was first exploited in a practical way in 1876, and the refrigerator has played a major role in maintaining public health ever since. Tile first automobile, dating from the 1880s, made use of many advances in physics and engineering, including reliable ways of generating high-voltage sparks, while the first computers emerged in the 1940s from simultaneous advances in electronics and mathematics.E. Some forms of technology have become so well established that it is easy to forget the great scientific achievements that they represent.F. In science, important advances can also be made when current ideas are shown to be wrong. A classic case of this occurred early in the 20th century, when the German geologist Alfred Wegener suggested that the continents were at one time connected, a theory known as continental drift.G. Other fields of science also play an important role in the things we use or consume every day. Research in food technology has created new ways of preserving and flavoring what we eat. 44
