       Saying no can be very difficult. People who are very shy often have little confidence. It is very hard for them to say no. They would feel shy when they say no, but doing things that they don't want to do will make them unhappy.
       A simple and direct "No" is the best way. If you want to explain, you can keep it simple. Just say, "No, I've already made plans for this time" or "No, I'm not free at that time."
       Other indirect but polite ways of saying no:
       ● Sorry, I can't do this right now.
       ● I'm afraid I can't, but thank you for asking.
       ● Please accept (接受) that I cannot come.
       ● I'd rather not.
       To say no you should:
       ● Start the sentence with the word "No".
       ● Shake (搖晃) your head when you say no to make sure others understand. Your voice should be clear and direct.
       Sometimes it is difficult to say no. You can try to reply and explain in the following way:
       "Sorry. I would have taken care of your cat next weekend, but I will be going out. I know it will be hard to find someone to take care of the cat. I will try to help you next time." Remember that: you have the right (權(quán)利) to say no!

    Raising pets is a popular online game among teenagers. "More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(領(lǐng)養(yǎng)) pets online." Said Wang Hui from Beijing.

       You may not have heard the words "freshman fifteen" before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. A freshman is a first-year college student. "Fifteen" refers to fifteen pounds-the fifteen pounds added to a student's weight in his or her first year. There are a number of reasons why
first-year university students gain (增力n) weight; but it's encouraging to know that freshmen don't have
to add these harmful fifteen pounds.
Mistakes choosing food
       University kitchens serve(供應(yīng))many kinds of food. Some students choose unhealthy food,because
now their parents are not nearby to help them choose. Some students visit the kitchen many times while
studying. Late at night, some students get harmful fast food such as fish and chips with Coke to drink.
Students also have less time for walking, running, and doing sports because of their schoolwork.
Eating right
       If you're careful, you don't have to add fifteen pounds. Here are some ideas:
       Think more about what you eat.
       Eat plenty of vegetables and healthy meats.
       Don't eat desserts full of sugar； have fruit after dinner.
       Try not to eat so much unhealthy food while you study.
       It's all right to have a little fast food sometimes-but not often.
       Write down the foods you eat.
       Walk, run, do sports-move and you will feel better!
       Remember that the "freshman fifteen" can happen to anyone. Talk to your friends about it. Together,
try to eat healthy food and not to eat unhealthy food. Walking, running, and playing sports is always more
fun with friends. Help each other and you can have a healthy and happy freshman year.
1. The "freshman fifteen" is______.
A. weight that high school students gain
