       You may not have heard the words "freshman fifteen" before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college student. "Fifteen" refers to fifteen pounds-the fifteen pounds added to a student"s weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why
first-year university students gain (增力n) weight; but it"s encouraging to know that freshmen don"t have
to add these harmful fifteen pounds.
Mistakes choosing food
       University kitchens serve(供应)many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food,because
now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while
studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink.
Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.
Eating right
       If you"re careful, you don"t have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas:
       Think more about what you eat.
       Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.
       Don"t eat desserts full of sugar； have fruit after dinner.
       Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.
       It"s all right to have a little fast food sometimes-but not often.
       Write down the foods you eat.
       Walk, run, do sports-move and you will feel better!
       Remember that the "freshman fifteen" can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together,
try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more
fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.

What would you do if you found a snake in your house? Many people might be afraid or try to kill it. However, if you live in North Carolina in the USA, one thing you can do is to call the Snake Catchers. The Snake Catchers are four men who love snakes, even poisonous ones. Their newspaper advertisement says, "Snake Catchers: free snake removal(除去)一Please do not kill them - Call us. " The Snake Catchers, who started their service in 1998, don"t charge anything for helping people. "We do this as a hobby," explained Fred Johnson, one of the Snake Catchers. Because of their love of snakes, the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive. "One man asked us to kill a python(蟒蛇), so he could make a pair of boots from the skin. We refused, because we like snakes, and we don"t want to see them killed, " said Fred. Some of the snakes that they catch are kept as pets; some are given to the North Carolina State University. Most, including the poisonous snakes, are set free in the wild, usually in a national park. Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care. "Actually snakes are very shy and gentle creatures. They only attack if they are frightened. However, you have to know how to treat a snake properly!" According to one happy family, the Snake Catchers are good. One day, the Greenwood family found a snake skin in the kitchen. They looked very carefully and saw a snake sleeping behind a cupboard. They thought about what to do. Then Steve Greenwood remembered the advertisement for the Snake Catchers. He called them. "The Snake Catchers arrived within an hour and they finished the job quickly too," said Steve Greenwood. "One of them went into the kitchen, found the snake and took it out alive. The Snake Catchers did a very good job." Last year, the Snake Catchers removed more than seventy snakes from houses in North Carolina.

A. they want to kill the snakes B. they like trying to catch snakes C. they don"t want people to hurt snakes D. they like eating snakes
2. When a man asked them to kill a python, the Snake Catchers______. A.made some boots from the skin B. were very happy C. gave him some old boots D. did not agree
