9．How to stay in shape during the winter
Staying in shape during the long，cold winter is more difficult than at any other time of year．Now，here are a few ways that will help a lot．
Exercise while watching TV
When your favorite television shows are on，get up off the sofa and do some exercise．（56）GAnd running in place during commercials （电视广告），leg lifts，or sit-ups can easily be done while you are watching TV．
Go for a walk
（57）CYou just need ten minutes before breakfast or after dinner．This can quickly help keep you in shape，knock off the pounds and help keep you healthy during the winter．
Stay away from fast-food restaurants
The fat and calories associated with fast food can do a lot of damage to your body．（58）FA big pot of vegetable soup，beans or delicious winter greens can be prepared on the weekend and divided to be eaten during the week．
Take the dog for a walk
When it is time to walk the dog，do it yourself．（59）DYou can add a little jogging （慢跑） to the routine to burn even more calories．（60）A
A day of sweeping and making beds can easily burn hundreds of calories．These are activities that can make your home shine and they can help keep you in better shape．

A．Do the cleaning
B．Start an exercise class
C．Take a walk around your neighborhood．
D．This is an easy way to add activity to your day．
E．However，it is important to remain as active as possible．
F．It is best to eat healthy food that you prepare yourself．
G．Just make sure you keep moving instead of sitting there．

8．Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or，easily，one of the worst．Whether you've decided to room with a friend or a total stranger，the rules are still the same．If you want to have a good relationship with your roommate，it all starts with you．
   Follow the four tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour：
   You've heard it before：Communication is key．If something happens，sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation．I've seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and，instead of talking to each other，the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs．This method creates nothing but awkward situations and general unhappiness．
   Some roommates become the best of friends，and some don't．Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level，especially when you first meet．Remember，you'v e trying to make a new friend，not scare your roommate away．And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend，don't worry about it．My first-year roommate and I didn't end up becoming best friends，but we are friends---and I couldn't have been happier with my roommate situation．
  Everyone hates dirty places．If you make a mess，don't leave it for someone else to clean up．This should go without saying．Don't be a slob （懒汉）．Make sure you do your fair share of dormitory chores，such as taking out the trash and recycling，and cleaning the washroom．Or，at last，just don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage and you should be all right．Most people I've encountered（遭遇）in college are messy．You don't have all the time in the world to clean your room and keep it organized．But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict．
   If you want to lose a friend，borrow everything without asking．If you want to keep the relationship going，show you roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first．Even if you both agree to share everything，you should still ask whenever you want to reach for snacks，clothes，supplies and anything else that you don't own．An d upon moving into the dorm，you need to make clear which items you both feel comfortable sharing．
   If you want a good roommate，you have to be a good roommate，Yes，there are exceptions．Sometimes being a good person and reaching out to your roommate simply isn't enough．Sometimes you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy or just isn't happy and doesn't want any sort of relationship．Whatever the case may be，the name of the game is always the same：respect．If you can't give it，you definitely don't deserve to get it．
Four （66）Tips/Suggestions/Waysto Be a Great Roommate

Dormitory life is a usually one of the most cherished parts of one's time at college．Get ready to avoid the common mistakes．
Have a friendly conversation	Instead of burying your feelings or  （67）complainingabout each other，you'd better communicate with your roommate frankly to get along well with each other．
Don't expect the roommates to be your best friends．	Sharing the same dorm doesn't necessarily mean you have to be best friends for each other，but it's better to make a friend than an enemy to experience college （68）happily/positively/smoothly
Clean up after yourself．Or，at least，keep your mess on your side．	It is believed that in a shared space，all roommates should help in keeping the room tidy instead of putting the burden on just one while the others do whatever they want．
Never take anything（ 69）withoutasking．	To keep belongings safe and avoid fighting late，let each other know in a polite way if you have to share the other's items．This rule applies to any situation．
If your work fails to win you a good roommate and you get stuck with someone who doesn't appreciate your kindness，it is not the end of the world．No matter what happens，showing （70）respectalways make sense．

6．On January 31，1978，three young boys were skating on the ice-covered playing field of the Montvale Memorial Elementary School in Montvale，New Jersey．Eddie Hargrove，his brother Michael，and their friend John Cummings watched as a flying object flew nearer．It was square with rounded corners and it had a yellow light at each corner and a light underneath．
    The three boys quickly realized that they were seeing something strange．They became frightened an d ran to the dugout（休息室） by the field．By then，the object had disappeared．Before they could discuss what had happened，they noticed what looked like a man in a yellow jogging suit across the road from the field．Michael thought it was a neighbor who often jogged in the evening．
"Mr．Johnson，"Michael called to the man，"did you see that UFO？"
    Immediately the man turned toward the boys，and Michael's tongue was frozen．Just then，ten other creatures，all in yellow jogging suits，joined him．Each one was bald（秃头） and had large，dark，square places where his eyes should have been； their skin was light yellow．
"Have you heard of Hitler's army？"John later said．"You know how they walked kind of stiff（僵硬地），with their arms straight？Well，that's…how they looked．"
Some of them were walking back and forth，while others headed down a nearby road．Finally they walked through the back wall of a building and disappeared completely．Now everything was normal again-almost．
    Could they have been joggers？Officer Pelsang of the Montvale Police Department said he had never seen more than two people jogging together in Montvale and never after dark．
    Three UFO investigators decided to study the case．The three men discovered that the Department of Public Works （DPW） was opposite the school's playing field and near where the boys first saw the yellow-suited aliens and that the DPW workers wore yellow uniforms in bad weather．However，Lewis Bradley of the DPW stated that all workers had gone home at 4：30 p．m．on the day in question and that none were wearing yellow uniforms that day．
    Did the boys see a UFO？Officer Pelsang said，"Twelve-year old boys don't call the police unless they're really upset about something．"However，no matter what the investigators wanted to believe，they could not prove that anything had happened．As they wrote in their final report，"The story is interesting but，alas，the amount of value from a case of this kind…is doubtful．"
