To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the
21、 America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn“t watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average
22、than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slim people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Standford University School of Medici
23、ne found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.

He would so
27、metimes go to the cinema for the same film four or five times. He also enjoys literature (文学) and art. Before he took the film acting as his career (职业), he has been on the staff (工作人员) of an airline in Taibei. His change of job to acting was quite by chance. One day, he came across in the paper an
28、advertisement for a leading actor to appear in the film named “Wedding Feast“. Full of excitement, he answered the job and by telephoning the director of the film, Mr. Li An. It was this telephone call that had changed all his life. At last the director decided him to be the very person for the role
29、. That he could be chosen owed much to his good command of English, natural manners and low pay for this work in the film. The film “wedding Feast“ proved to be a hit.

32、ken part in the shooting of 13 films, most of which are highly thought of.

Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countrie
38、s as well. Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If yo
39、u need help and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?“ Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions.
