Piranhas live in enormous packs, or shoals. They spend most of their time hunting for
food. Rivers are their primary habitat although, as a result of massive flooding, they may
occasionally find their way into lakes. But it is thought that they are unable to breed outside of
rivers. Piranhas have voracious appetites, and they seek river locations that have plentiful fish
supplies. They are found in any well-stocked river within their natural habitat.
The piranha hunts with speed and by surprise. The typical way in which the piranha
attacks is by swimming directly into a shoal of fish. The attacked shoal scatters in all directions,
and the piranha quickly overpowers individual fish. Small fish are swallowed whole. Larger prey
have chunks ripped out of them, which the piranha swallows instantly so it can immediately take
another bite.

Grazing? Thats right, grazing--eating six or more small meals each day. This alternative
eating style may provide several benefits. Grazing can help to maintain a healthy weight, lower
blood cholesterol, and control blood sugar. This eating plan can also help regulate appetite,
increase metabolic rate, and allow for better absorption of nutrients. Grazing also matches an
active, on-the-go lifestyle.
Mini-meals are not snacks eaten between larger meals. Instead they are a variety of small
portions eaten throughout the day. The real challenge with this eating style is eating enough
servings from each food group while not over-eating. Each mini-meal should be thought out and
selected from nutritious foods, just as you would with your other meals.
A few tips can help you master grazing. Keep each mini-meal about the same size to
avoid over-eating and yet satisfy your appetite. Appetiser-size portions in restaurants and at home
are about the right size for mini-meals. You dont have to plan six or more different little meals
each day. You could instead take the meals you eat now and divide them up throughout the day.
Grazing may not be for everyone. For some, frequent snacking could lead to overeating.
Obesity experts generally advise that overweight people not graze since it may promote mindless
eating. In addition, eating many times throughtout the day may be inconvenient for some.
Remember that ultimately it is not how or when you eat that matters, but what you eat.
The most important thing is to choose an eating style that matches your personal needs and lifestyle
and helps you make the best food choices possible.
1. The word grazing in this article means eating ___________.
1. less but more often
2. less at three meals
3. only vegetables and fruits
4. more slowly
2. Grazing does not have the effect of ___________.
1. controlling blood sugar
2. decreasing absorption of nutrients
3. increasing metabolic rate
4. lowering blood cholesterol
3. If you graze, you have to be careful ___________.
1. to make your diet fat-free
2. not ot overeat
3. to eat all you want
4. not ot eat too often
4. The word regulate (line 3) could best be replaced by ___________.
1. control
2. increase
3. kill
4. promote
5. The expression on-the-go (line 5) means ___________.
1. fashionable
2. busy
3. furious
4. easy-going
6. What doen they (line 6) refer to?
1. mini-meals
2. larger meals
3. servings
4. snacks
7. The word portions (line 7) could best be replaced by ___________.
1. plates
2. shares
3. amounts
4. bites

1. be good at

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake.
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sounds the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

SONKAJARVI, FINLAND
Estonian wives can be a real pain in the back, but that didnt step one man from carrying his wife

A heat wave in southwest France has wineries popping their corks. The 35-degree Celsius temperatures are cooking wines at the worlds biggest wine trade fair, Vinexpo. The situation has left a bad taste in some
wine tasters mounts, as well as exhibitors who had to dump wines because of heat damage.
WOLVERHAMPTON, ENGLAND
Now, thats justice : an English politician was recently caught speeding by a mobile camera which
he was responsible for putting in place. South Staffordshire district councilor Robert Marshall was filmed going
about 68 kilometers per hour in a 48 kmph zone.
His spin on this major gaffe?
If more people are caught by these mobile speed cameras, then more pople like myself will get
the message about speeding.
ROME
An Italian priest from the town of Civita Castellana exercised his papal duties over the weekend by

sin but a way of thanking the Lord.

to go around.

31. In the early sixties, Bangkok was a confusing maze of low buildings,
, and visually not very
attractive
1. some as tall as modern skyscrapers
2. the majority of which were well designed
3. few of them taller than three or four stories
4. all were beautifully painted
32. Drivers do many things that distract them : talk on cellphones, eat lunch, fiddle with the radio dial and argue
with kids. But accurate information
are caused by distraction is unavailable.
1. when their activities
2. about how many accidents
3. that they and their family
4. on their regular routes
While its true that there is still something inherently annoying about mobile phones (Ive just got
to be in touch at all times), they have become a regular and essential feature of modern living. So if youre going
to be a mobile phone user-and honestly, who isnt by now? - just do it politely, please.
Mobile Dos :
1. Do make your conversations brief. It doesnt matter how good your mobile is : its always hard
to hear what someone is saying on a mobile, and its not pleasant for anyone. And didt you say
when you got your phone that you would use it just to let people know when you were
running late?
2. Do use it as a dating device. If you give out your mobile number, your admirer never knows
where you are, and you therefore seem very mysterious and glamorous.
3. Do use it for chatting if you are trapped somewhere extremely boring, like when theres a long
line to check in at the airport.
Mobile Donts :
1. Dont use that hands-free device-it makes you look like youre talking to yourself.
2. Dont give out your number to someone you dont want using it. This may seem obvious, but
its been known to happen that people have given out their number and then been annoyed to
receive a call which cost them a lot of money when they were abroad.
3. Dont use it in restaurants, cinemas, libraries or anywhere it might annoy other people (unless
the call is extremely brief and you excuse yourself).
4. Dont raise your voice. Unreliable technology means that some people feel the need to scream.
Please dont. No one else wants to hear about your business.
5. Dont use your phone while on a date. Weve seen it happen.
