My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  36  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  37  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  38  these spots, the dog was named Penny.

Grandma and Penny quickly became very 39 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 40  Grandma had a stroke（中風(fēng)）. Grandma could no longer

 41  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  42  companions.

After her stroke, it became a real  43  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  44  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（機(jī)械裝置）using a rope and pulley（滑輪）was   45  from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   46  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  47  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   48  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.

As the years passed, it was not  49  for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she  50  . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   51  on the rug （墊子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   52  , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   53  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   54  companion by her side.

The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   55  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.

You should watch where your weight accumulates．You can use the waist to hip ratio to find if there is too much fat around the middle．Belly fat is especially dangerous because it release free fatty acids directly to the liver, virtually flooding it with fat.

If a particular food is important to you, eat it, but work it off．You should try to learn the art of compromise.

At the same time．the three-for-one is relatively simple to use．Fat grams and calories are listed on almost all boxed, canned or packaged foods —— you have only to read the label and follow the rule．A five-year-old patient of mine can do this.

Drinking water is basic, and drinking enough of it is necessary．Patients are sometimes surprised that basic things work when they do them consistently.

Consume antioxidant foods．They protect the cholesterol(膽固醇), from oxidative damage, which helps prevent damage to blood…vessel walls.

 A．More than nine years ago I was 70 pounds overweight and wore a very big dress．I had tried different diets and lost weight only to gain it back．Finally a simple “three-for-one’’ fat rule worked for me：consuming no more than three grams of fat for every 100 calories per serving．Following the rule and eating only foods that contain less than 30 percent fat, I spent eight months getting down to a size seven, and I’ve kept the weight off for nine years.

 B．And for foods that aren’t packaged, you rely on what we already know about them．Red meat, as well as dishes made or served with butter, gravy, cream sauce or cheese, are almost never less than 30 percent fat——so you just don’t eat them．On the other hand, some non-packed foods——all fruits and vegetables except avocadoes and olives——always pass the test．So do most fish, but not when fried.

C．I like vegetables, which are rich in vitamins．Most foods containing vitamins C and E（such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and broccoli）are low in calories and are known as antioxidants（抗氧化物質(zhì)）．They can help reduce the possibility to develop hardening the arteries（動脈）.

 D．I gain weight around the belly—what we call abdominal obesity, the worst kind．The tendency seems to be hereditary（遺傳的）, and it’s common among men．This problem increases the risk of a stroke or heart attack．A guide I use in estimating belly fat is the waist-to-hip ratio or WHR．To find yours, divide the circumference（周圍）of you waist by the circumference of you hips．Women with ratios above 0.8 and men with ratios above 1.0 are at increased health risk.

 E．My ways of keeping healthy are very simple, and they are among our everyday activities：eating healthy food and doing exercise．In addition, I manage to do those basic things, such as drinking water, sleeping well and eating less fat．Sometimes I do some of the other things I used to do in my life like walking for half an hour a day.

 F．Although I've put on ten pounds．I'm healthy and in good shape．I eat food that’s good for me…but I work off Susan’s homemade brownies（巧克力蛋糕）, for example．To offset these extra calories, I walk for an hour or more, three times a week…often with Susan．We’re both busy and this is one way we have some quiet time together．Equally important, it permits me to practice dieting fine art of compromise.

You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.

　 What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve racking(緊張）and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast?

　A really good relationship should be about “being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’ may be subverted(顛覆，破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大聲爭吵).”  In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’ m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘Please don’ t be unfaithful to me’ ?” By saying ‘I love you’, they are really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”
