6、New York（Reuters）--Foods that fill you up without packing a ton of calories can help in the battle of obesity（肥胖），results of a new study suggest．

In the study，obese women who reduced the “energy density” of their diet by cutting their intake of fats and adding more fruits and vegetables lost more weight over a 12-month period，and felt less hungry，than those who simply reduced their fat intake．

“Adding low calorie-dense foods into the diet is an effective way of lowering calories and reducing hunger when you are trying to lose weight，” Dr Julia A Ello-Martin said．

One of the reasons people don't stick to a weight-loss diet is hunger．Ello-Martin and her colleagues guessed that a diet that controls hunger by encouraging dieters-to fill up on low energy-density foods may improve adherence（堅(jiān)持），as well as increase weight loss．

For the study，97 obese women were randomly assigned to a group that was advised to decrease their intake of fats or one that was told to decrease their fat intake and increase low energy-density foods，particularly fruits arid: vegetables．Twelve months later，weight had come off the women in both groups．The women in the fruit and vegetable group，however，lost 7.9kg，in comparison to 6.4kg among the others．

The women in the fruit and vegetable group also experienced less hunger than tile women who only reduced their fat intake，study findings show．

Although the study' lasted only one year，Ello-Martin guesses the dieters may be able to keep their weight loss and dietary changes over a longer period

“They are getting to eat foods that are helping them not feel hungry，” she said．“What's more，the study didn't have that hideous approach of having to count calories even day．”

4、When I opened my E-mail the other day，a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm（熱情）．Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss．She was reading to me an E-mail from my brother．It was pretty cool．

Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail．Facemail lets you send E-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown（小丑）．The software，which is free，can be downloaded at www.facemail.com．

Facemail faces are lifelike，and they simulate（模仿）emotions based on emotions-- for example，type in：--X，and Rachel blows a kiss．

Life FX，the company that develops the Facemail，is sure that facemail has broad business uses．The reason E-mail is not popular，the company says，is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch．But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name，waited on you and personally closed the sale? And wouldn't it feel better when the kids get back from school but Mom can't be back and she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat?

Facemail could get hot fast．Personally，I'm a fan．But Facemail should be used with care．The clown looks lively and funny at first．But if you select the clown，put a few rude words in an E-mail and add some angry emotions，you've got Psycho-mail（瘋?cè)诵噪娮余]件）．

3、“Tear them apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee（裁判）!”

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events．At the time they are mad，they may seem innocent enough．But let's not kid ourselves．They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed（流血）．Volumes have been written about the way words affect us．It has been shown that Words having certain connotations（含義）may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic（人文主義的）behavior．I see the term “opponent” as one of those words．Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms．

The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary”；“enemy” “one who opposes your interests．” Thus，when a player meets an opponent，he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy．At such times，winning may dominate one's intellect，and every action，no matter how gross（粗俗），may be considered justifiable（有理的）．I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough．The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed．“Are they wet enough now?”

In the heat of battle，players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way．I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's international and illegal' blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of pray．Off the court，they are good friends．Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which depart from normal behavior．

Therefore，I believe it is time we elevated（提升）the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world．Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start．

The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”；“friend”；“companion” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term ‘a(chǎn)ssociate’ rather than ‘opponent．’

1．Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view?
