At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to


11


bad
feelings,
to
make
myself
feel
better,
and
to
celebrate.
Worried
about
my
health,
I
tried
many
different kinds of diets but nothing worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my weight.





When I was 50, my weight problem began to affect me


12

. I didn't want to live the restof my
life with this extra weight any more.





That year, I


13


a seminar(
研讨课
)where we were asked to create a project that would touch
the world. A seminar leader shared her


14


story
-
she had not only lost 125 pounds, but also raised
$$25,000 for homeless children.



15


by her story, I created the As We heal(
痊愈
)
，
the World Heals project: My goal was to
lose 150 pounds in one year and raise $$50,000. In this way, I could not only heal myself but heal the
world by supporting a movement set up 30 years ago to end hunger.



16


I began my own personal weight program, I was filled with the fear that I would run into
the same difficulties that beat me before. While the


17


hung over my head, there were also signs
that I was headed down the right path. I sent letters to everyone I knew, telling them about my project.
It worked perfectly. Donations began


18

in from hundreds of people.





Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I hired a fitness coach. I began to eat
small and


19


meals and exercise often.





A year later, I


20


my goal: I lost 150 pounds and raised $$50,000! I feel that I've been given a
second life to devote to something that is meaningful and great.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is a lovely song for children,
but it has two misunderstandings(
误解
). First, stars aren't little.
Some may be Earth
-
sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the
largest
planet
in
the
solar
system(
太阳系
).
Second,
they
don't
twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the

light
from each star provide information about its temperature, size
and
even
its
age.
viewing
the
stars
from
Earth
is
a
bit
like
looking at them
through a water filter(
过滤器
)because the air is thick compared to
the emptiness of
space.
What
is
more,
air
is
always
moving,
so
starlight
appears
to
be
moving;
too.
The
air
also
makes .stars appear dimmer(
暗淡的
)than they would be if we could see them from space.





If
you
stop
and
look
at
the
sky
carefully
on
a
dark
and
moonless
night,
it's
easy
to
find
color
differences among stars. The color of a star is a signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are
blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of
the visible(
可见的
)stars. Many red stars are so dim that people can't see them at all, and some stars
hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars different in brightness is that hotter stars produce
more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.





Some stars appear brighter to humans simply because they're closer. Astronomers rank(
排列
)the
brightness of stars which are seen from Earth by giving them a name known as magnitude(
光度
)
---
the
smaller
the
magnitude,
the
brighter
the
object.
They
have
also
designed
a
number
that
ranks
stars
according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With a magnitude of minus 26.7, the
sun is the brightest object in the sky.

It was one o'clock in the morning when I at last succeeded in creating life.





As I looked at the lifeless human being, I saw one eye slowly open. Then he began to breathe and
move his arms. At first, I thought he would be a fine
-
looking man. He had yellow skin, black hair and
very white teeth. Unluckily, his eyes were watery, and his lips were thin and colorless. I soon realized
that there was nothing beautiful about him. I ran out of the room, disgusted(
恶心
) by the creature I had
created. I tried to sleep, but for hours I could not. Then, when I did get to sleep, I had bad dreams.
When
I
awoke
the
next
morning,
I
did
not
want
to
return
to
my
laboratory
and
the
monster
I
had
created. I went for a long walk until I came to an inn. There, to my pleasure and surprise, I found my
friend, Henry Clerical.






if you have not slept for many weeks.





I knew this was true.
Henry walked back with me to my department. I did not want him to, but I could not stop him. I was
afraid
that
the
creature
i
had
left
there
might
be
alive
and
walking
about.
When
we
reached
my
apartment, I asked Henry to wait outside for a few minutes. I did not explain why. I slowly opened the
door and entered the room. To my surprise, it was empty. The creature had gone. I was so overcome by

the feeling that I
fainted
. I was ill for many months.





During my illness, Henry was my only nurse. He heard me talking in my sleep about a monster. At
first, he thought I was just having a bad dream, but then he realized that something very bad happened
in my life. At last, I began to get better.

Would
it
surprise
you
to
learn
that,
like
animals,
trees
can
communicate
with
each
other
and
pass
on
their
wealth
to
the
next
generation
---
their young trees?





Suzanne
Simard,
forest
ecologist(
生态学家
)at
the
University
of
British
Columbia,
explains
how
trees
are
much
more
complex(
复杂
的
)than
most
of
us
ever
imagined.
Although
Charles
Darwin(
达尔
文
)thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new
discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their
group
work
and
support,
passing
around
necessary
nutrition(
营养
)such
as
nitrogen(
氮
)and
carbon






Nitrogen(
氮
)and
carbon
are
shared
through
miles
of
underground
fungi(
真菌
)networks.
This
makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep
them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(
神经元
)in our
