The book A Big Fat Crisis: The Hidden Forces Behind Obesity and How We Can End It by Deborah Cohen, a senior natural scientist, is very popular now.   36   But according to this book, the following are some misunderstandings of obesity or being overweight.

1.  If you're obese, blame your genes.

  37   Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubled—too quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.

2.  If you're obese, you lack self-control.

Research shows that if we are faced with too much information, we have a tendency to make poor choices on diet.   38   Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be good controllers of themselves.

3.  39 

  Although the US Department of Agriculture estimates that fewer than 5 percent of Americans live in the “food deserts”, about 65 percent of the nation's population is obese. For most of us, obesity is not related to access to more fresh fruits and vegetables, but to the choices we make in supermarkets.

4.The problem is not that we eat too much, but that we don't exercise.

Michelle Obama's “Let's Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease.   40   In fact, although a drop in work-related physical activity may explain up to 100 fewer calories burned, leisure physical activity appears to have increased.

A. Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is a cause of obesity.

B. Obesity rates have increased.

C. Fresh fruits and vegetables we choose in a supermarket are related to obesity.

D. But there was no obvious decrease in physical activity levels as obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and  1990s.

E. People hold different views on obesity.

F. People benefit a lot from physical activities.

G. Our world has become so rich in food that we can be led to consume too much in ways we can't understand.

One of my favorite    48    on the road was a discussion about movies.

The Dead Man’s Poet!” I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a back seat full of    50    . “Mom,” I said. “You mean Dead Poets Society?” “That’s it!” Mom yelled.    51    filled the car.

Once we got to Stone Harbor, she began to    52    the trip, greeting strangers and spending hours gathering shells.

   The morning we left, I found her photographing every inch of her bedroom. “I don’t ever want to     53    this,” she said.

For a long time, Mom’s shells stayed    54    in a drawer. Last month, I    55   them again while searching for something else. I put them in a visible place as a reminder from a mother who never lost her sense of wonder.

_{Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea, only to find yourself with pages of information, but no clear view of how it fits together? This is where Mind Mapping can help you．}

_{Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps you learn more effectively, improves the way that you record information, and supports and enhances creative problem solving． By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject． You can see the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes．66．, as they help your mind recall and review．}

_{Popularized by Tony Buzan, Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking．They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure． A good Mind Map shows the 'shape' of the subject, the relative importance of individual points, and the way in which facts relate to one another．67．}

_{1. Write the title of the subject you're exploring in the center of the page, and draw a circle around it．}

_{2. As you come across major subdivisions or subheadings of the topic (or important facts that relate to the subject) draw lines out from this circle． Label these lines with these subdivisions or subheadings．}

_{3. As you "burrow" into (挖掘) the subject and uncover another level of information (further subheadings, or individual facts) belonging to the subheadings, draw these as lines linked to the subheading lines．}

_4.68．．

_{5. As you come across new information, link it in to the Mind Map appropriately．69．．Sub-topics and facts will branch off these, like branches and twigs from the trunk of a tree． You don't need to worry about the structure you produce, as this will evolve of its own accorD．}

_{70．  ．If you do any form of research or note taking, try experimenting with Mind Maps． You will find them surprisingly effective!}

_{A． To draw a Mind Map, follow these steps:}

_{B． Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes．}

_{C． They help you to associate ideas and make connections that you might not otherwise make．}

_{D． A complete Mind Map may have main topic lines radiating in all directions from the center．}

_{E．Then, for individual facts or ideas, draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them．}

_{F．More than this, Mind Maps help you remember information}

_{G．When created using colors and images or drawings, a Mind Map can even resemble a work of art!}
