　　Do you love the holidays, but hate the increase(增加)in weight(体重)that follows? You are not alone．

　　Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods．But many people are worried about the weight that comes with these delicious foods．

　　With proper(合适的)planning, it is possible to control your weight．The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much．You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy．The following advice may be of some help to you．

　　Do not miss meals．Before you leave home for a party, have a small, low-fat meal or fast food．This may help you to keep you from getting too excited before the delicious foods．

　　Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables．A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full．Use a small plate; a large plate may make you eat more than enough．

　　Better not have high-fat foods．Choose lean(瘦的)meats．Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables．

　　If you have a sweet tooth, try mints(薄荷)and fruits．They do not have fat like cream and chocolate．

　　Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays．A 20-minute walk after a meal can help you burn off excess calories(多余的热量)．

　　Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so．“Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say．You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill．

　　If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure(血压), I think you should go to the doctor．

　　The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed．

　　After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine．The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice．

　　Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can't help telling you a funny story．

　　An old gentleman came to see the doctor．The man was very ill．He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs．The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease．

　　He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest．He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks．In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule：“Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is．” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day．

　　A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office．He looked much more cheerful and much happier．He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man．

　　“But you know, doctor,” the man went on saying, “it's not easy to begin smoking at my age．”

　　There were many mice(老鼠)in Jack's house．They ran about all over the house at night．In the day, they were back to their homes．

　　“I need a good cat,” thought Jack．He knew a man who had cats, so Jack went to see him．

　　“Do you have a cat that is good for the mice?” Jack asked the man．

　　“Well, yes, I have such a cat,” answered the man．

　　“I'll take it,” said Jack．He paid for the cat and took it home．

　　A week later, Jack went back to the man with the cat in his hand．“My house has more mice now than before,” Jack said angrily．“The cat you sold me doesn't want to catch them at all．But you said it was good for the mice．” “That's right,” said the man．“It is good for the mice．Come to think about it-it is good for the mice!”
