10、a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment-and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husbands job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.

11、reasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadnt felt in years. Thats why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I co

12、ntinually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job. Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children.

13、 I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy-as long as I have you.” I smiled again.

17、or children? In some parts of the world, like Indonesia, a puppet show is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages. At most puppet shows, the audience sits on one side of the screen and the puppeteer（操纵木偶的人） sits on the other. However, at an Indonesian front shadow puppet show, the audience can cho

18、ose which side to sit on. From out front, audience members see shadows of puppets acting out exciting scenes of romance or battle. These people enjoy the fantasy that “real” events are taking place. Behind the scenes, it can be fascinating to see a dalang, or puppeteer, in action. The dalang manipul

19、ates puppets made of buffalo hide by moving attached rods（棒） of buffalo horn or bamboo.

27、s plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health counseling.

John Jakicic, the lead researcher, questioned the use of electr

28、onic devices for weight control in place of “effective behavioral counseling for physical activity and diet.” The study involved 470 subjects aged between 18 and 35.

However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight. Jakicic said, “the studys findings are imp
