12．Why do Americans try hard with watching their weight （体重），while the French，who eat rich food，continue to stay thin？Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight．Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full．However，Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over．
According to Dr．Joseph Mercola，a health expert，the French see eating as an important part of their life style．They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table，while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities．Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full．So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped．In addition，he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week．The French，instead，tend to shop daily，walking to small shops and farmers'markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits，vegetables，and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal．
After a visit to the United States，Mireille Guiliano，author of French Women Don't Get Fat，decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food．Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym．
In spite of all these differences，evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits．Today the rate of obesity （肥胖率）-or  extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%．However，as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions，the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing．

C．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food．

9．Once a mall was walking along a beach．The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day．（61）Inthe distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and the beach．As the man （62）approached（approach），he could see there were hundreds of starfish （63）lying（1ie）on the sand as a result of the natural （64）action（act）of the tide．
　　The man （65）was stuck（stick）by the apparent uselessness of the task．There were far too many starfish （66）andmany of them were sure to die．When he came near，the person continued the task of picking （67）upthe starfish one by one and throwing them into the ocean．
　　As he came up to the person，he said．"You must be crazy．There are thousands of miles of beach（68）covered（cover） with starfish．You can't （69）possibly（possible）make a difference．"The person looked at the man．He then bent down and picked up （70）one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean．He turned back to the man and said，"It surely makes a difference to that one!"

8．When you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around．The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years．Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike （most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around），setting up a bank account，getting their computer and mobile phone working，finding their department，getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize．
　　One of the major events you will experience shortly after"coming up"to Oxford is matriculation．Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university．
　　International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year．Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you，as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you．The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system，University services，information on living in Britain and culture differences，as well as addressing practical issues such as employment，immigration and visas，health and safety．You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students．
　　Another good thing to experience early is college dining．Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners，which consist of three or four courses，and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant．On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor．In this way，you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls．
Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website，and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces．
