Instead of gobbling(狼吞虎咽) your food, try eating more slowly. It may help you drop those unwanted pounds. The conclusion is from a new study by Chinese researcher.

The study showed that compared with people who gobbled their food, those who ate at a normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese(肥胖的). But those who ate slowly were up to 42 percent less likely to obese. In addition, people who ate slowly tended (往往會) to be healthier and have a healthier lifestyle than those who ate quickly or at a normal speed. “However, this study could not prove that speed eating causes or stops obesity,” the researcher noted.

"Slow eating has its advantages and a few disadvantages ,” said Samantha Heller from New York City. “on the one hand , slow eating gives our body time to register a sense of satisfaction and fullness, so we eat less. We are more likely to enjoy a taste of food. On the other hand, the longer people sit in front of food, the more food they will eat, ”she said.

“Speed eating appears to be far more harmful. People who eat quickly, as many of us do, gobble far more food than they need. In many European countries, slow eating is a way of life,” Heller said. In America, speed eating takes the lead. Thus we need to encourage people to have a change, learn the way of slower eating from Europeans and get a true enjoyment of food.

A Day in the Life of a Firefighter

Rob Elliot has worked as a firefighter for eight years. Rob’s day starts at 9 a.m. Rob and other firefighters meet in front of the fire station to get their instructions for the day. “Every day is different,” says Rob. “On some days, I drive the fire engine. On other days, I wear the breathing equipment (呼吸裝備) and go to the scenes on fire. I enjoy every part of my job.”

Firefighters rescue people from all kinds of situations (情況).” People call us to road accidents, heavy rain, railroad stops and chemical spills (化學(xué)品泄漏),” says Rob.

But firefighters do more than rescuing people. They give first aid (緊急救護(hù)), and they clean up and check scenes after an accident. They often work together with the police and doctors. They also teach people about fire safety.

Today, Rob and Jenny, another firefighter, were busy checking the equipment. But suddenly, there was a call. A house was on fire and there were two people trapped (被困) in an upstairs bedroom. The firefighters jumped into the fire engines and raced to the house. Rob and Jenny ran upstairs while the rest of the team used hoses to put out the fire. Rob and Jenny found a mother and a daughter in one of the bedrooms. They opened a window and helped the mother and her little girl to climb down a ladder. Soon the fire was out and everyone was safe. “And it’s still only eleven o’clock!” said Rob.

1.Where do Rob and other firefighters meet to get their instructions for the day?

___________________________________________________.

2.Does Rob drive the fire engine every day?

_______________, _______________________________.

3.Which sentence in the passage shows Rob Elliot loves his job?

____________________________________________________.

4.Besides (除……之外) rescuing people, what else do firefighters do? (List two things)

They _________________ and _____________________.

5.Do you want to be a firefighter? Why or why not?

___________________________________________________.
