20．Hank Viscardi was 26years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes．For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be--a full five feet eight inches tall．
Hank had been born without legs．Until he was seven，his world was a world of repeated operations．At last，he had no legs，but stumps （殘肢） that could be fitted with a kind of special boots．
Out of the hospital，Hank often found people slating at him with cruel interest．Children laughed at him and called him"Ape man"because his arms dragged on the ground．He went to school like other boys．His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve．
After graduation，Hank worked his way through college．He swept floors，waited on table，or worked in one of the college offices．During all this busy life，Hank had been moving around on his stumps．But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer．Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair．
Hank felt himself go cold all over．However，the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs．
Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time five feet eight inches tall．
But this was not the end yet．He had to learn to use his new legs．Again and again he marched the length of the room，and marched back again．There were times when he fell down on the floor，but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching．He went out on the street．He climbed the stairs and learned to dance．He built a boat and learned to sail it．
When World War II came，he persuaded the Red Cross to give him a job．He took the regular training．He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers．Few knew that he was legless．This was the true story of Hank Viscardi，the man without legs．

13．Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．
Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self-conscious（難為情）when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．
Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．
Don't forget the clock-or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes，And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．
Downsize the dishes．Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（攝入）jumps by 14 percent．And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．

12．Americans use the term"college students"to mean students either in colleges or universities．Not only that，Americans almost never say"going off to university"or"when I was in university．"That sounds British．（26）F
（27）DBoth offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and s ciences，for example．And both can help prepare young people to earn a living．
But many colleges do not offer graduate studies．Another difference is that universities are generally bigger．（28）BAnother place of higher education，especially in technical areas，is an institute，like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities．
Modern universities developed from those of Europ e in the Middle Ages．The word"university"came from the Latin universities，describing a group of people organized for a common purpose．（29）GIn England，colleges were formed to provide students with places to li ve．Usually each group was studying the same thing．So college came to mean an area of study．
The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college．This is still true．（30）AFor example，Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University．
 
A．A college can also be a part of a university．
B．They offer more programs and do more research．
C．There are more universities than colleges in the USA．
D．Colleges and universities have many things in common．
E．Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities．
F．Instead，they say"going off to college"or"when I was in college．"
G．"College"came from collegium，a Latin word with a similar meaning．

11．Taylor Swift was born on December 13，1989，in Wyomissing，Pennsylvania．Swift's family ran a farm．"I had her sitting on a small horse when she was nine months old，"said Swift's mother．"If my dream had gone well，she'd be in a horse show right now．"The only obvious forerunner （先驅(qū)） of Swift's musical talent was her grandmother，an opera singer．
That talent showed itself early：when the family went to see a Disney musical film，Swift would come out of the theater singing all the songs correctly．At the age of 11，she sang"The Star-Spangled Banner"at a Philadelphia 76ers game．The experiences during her pre-teen years encouraged the creativity to go with Swift's talent．As a child，she attended the academically competitive Wyndcroft School in Pottstown，but then switched to public schools in Wyomissing．Although it was her hometown，she didn't know any of her classmates，and she was terrified．Swift began to understand the storytelling feature of country songs，and put her feelings into songs of her own．
One of her future hits，"The Outside"，was written when she was only 12．"I wrote that about the scariest feeling I've ever felt：going to school，looking at those faces，and not knowing who you're gonna talk to that day，"she said．"In the music，I could never feel the kind of rejection （拒絕） that I felt in middle school．"Swift's parents quickly realized that they had someone special on their hands．They sold their farm when she was 13 and moved the family to Hendersonville，Tennessee．
Swift had the ability，above all，to put feelings into words with accuracy （準(zhǔn)確） far beyond her years．In"Our Song"she wrote，"Our song is the slamming screen door，going out late，tapping on your window．"In the summer of 2006，"Tim McGraw"came out，and almost from the beginning the 16-year-old Taylor Swift was a star．
