19、 to be young, and they glow without make-up.Some idols are born; some are made. Most idols are created by a machine called the entertainment industry.

20、my of behind-the-scenes assistants will hype(炒作) or even make up their virtues and hide their shortcomings.Paris Hilton is the kind of star who possesses no real talent but yet is quite well-known.

26、weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10! A health study is being done by an insurance company. The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims (肥胖索賠) last year cost us $ 77 million. We have to cut those costs,” said a member of the insurance group.

27、The company provides a game console (游戲主機), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study. The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals. In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examine

28、d for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher.

33、h andwealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the plea

34、sant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, theysour the pleasure of s

35、ociety, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.
