She heard shots in the distance. “Another battle. More soldiers will be wounded,” thought Sally, “One day I will give Mother good reasons to let me help Father in the field hospital!” Then she took the clean wet clothes outside to the clothesline. She nearly jumped out of her skin when a man called to her. Then she saw a wounded soldier. Quickly, she tore a sheet and wrapped it tightly around his wound to stop the bleeding.“Thank you. I’m George. Please. could you help my friend?” begged the soldier. “He got shot in the leg.”His friend was not far away sitting against a tree with a badly bleeding leg. Sally gave him some water, and then she washed away his blood with the water, but the blood quickly covered the wound again. She saw enough to know that a bullet(子弹)was not very deep in his leg.Sally ran back home to get some of her father’s tools. She tore a bandage from the sheet, and then pulled the bullet from the soldier’s leg. Next, Sally quickly wrapped the bandage tightly around the wound.

Are you hurt?” asked her mother.“It looks like we have another doctor in the family,” explained Sally’s father. “Maybe she can help me at the hospital.”“No man wants a doctor for a wife!” Sally’s mother’s face turned unpleasant.“Mother.” Sally said seriously, “1 have been secretly watching Father work for years.

However, the science behind weight problems is more complicated than we think.As we know, what we eat greatly affects our weight. It is widely accepted that people have 100% control over what they eat and how much they eat. This, however, is only partly true. People form habits around food at a young age. You may rarely touch vegetables while overeating fried chicken. Meanwhile, the serving size and the background music can both affect how much we eat.Our bodies themselves can decide whether we are more likely to gain weight or lose weight. Scientists have found that the more delicious the food is, the more excited our brains get. If we often have delicious food, over time, our brains will change. Compared to people of normal weight, fat people feel more excited when they see delicious food.i-|||-5-|||-一Now you know why fat people often have a tough time losing weight. They may have tried very hard. but their bodies are working against their will.Also, our bodies use a variety of hormones(激素)to tell our brains whether they are hungry or full. Ghrelin, for example, tells the brain that the body wants food. Leptin, meanwhile, tells the brain that it’s time to stop eating. Ghrelin and leptin help us to maintain a healthy weight. But sometimes. they may work improperly. As we get fatter, the levels of leptin in our bodies rise., Our brains are told not to eat all the time, In the end, they would no longer trust Leptin and would stop responding to its *warnings.” When we start to lose weight, Leptin levels drop. Our brains think we are hungry and make us find food in our fridges.34. The following can affect what or bow much we eat EXCEPT ______.A. eating habits B. serving sizeC. background music D. the colour of food35. Which is the best for the blank in the picture?A. Ghrelin maintains a healthy weight.B. Hunger causes Ghrelin levels to rise.C. Ghrelin works against a person’s will.D. Brain responds lo Ghrelin’s “warning”.36. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ______.A. our bodies B. our brains C. the warmings D. the levels37. In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?A. Health. B. Education. C. Environment. D. Fashion.(D)How to make a videoCo-authored by JaneLast updated: December 28th, 2021 If you want to shoot a video of a party, event, or concert, it’s best to go into it with some kind of plan.
