Weight loss is a hard topic. Lots of people aren’t satisfied with their present weight, but most people aren’t sure how to change it. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic（现实的） for you .__1__

So what should you do about your weight control?

2  The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian（营养学家）.__3____If it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started.

__4___People who lose weight quickly by crash dieting or other extreme measures usually gain back all of the pounds they lost, because they haven’t permanently（永久地） changed their habits. Therefore, the best weight management ways are those that you can maintain for a lifetime.

Small changes are a lot easier to stick with（坚持做） than large ones. Try reducing the size of what you eat.__5___ Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

It’s a good idea to maintain a healthy weight because it’s just that: healthy.

A．Try giving up regular soda for a week.

B．Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you’re full.

C．Weight management is about long-term success.

D．Besides, no magical diet will make you look like someone else.

E．Being healthy is really about being at a weight that is right for you.

F．Changing from whole to nonfat or low-fat milk is also a good idea.

G．They will compare your weight with healthy standards and help you set goals.

As if there weren’t enough of them in the world already, scientists have succeeded in cloning flies. The alike fruit flies are the first insects ever cloned, says the Canadian team that created them. The question everyone asks is why anyone would want to clone flies in the first place. She hopes that the insects , which are very easy to experiment with , will help to adjust the cloning process in other animals and even in humans, where the technique is being researched to aid production of therapeutic （治疗的） stem cells.

In cloning, the DNA-containing nucleus of an adult cell is injected into an egg whose own nucleus（细胞核） has been removed. At the moment, the majority of cloned mice, sheep and other animals die before birth. It is thought this is because the adult DNA is not properly ‘reprogrammed’.

Using flies, researchers might discover genes that are important for this reprogramming, and that have matches in other animals. That is because it is relatively easy in flies to knock out the function of a single gene and then attempt cloning with these cells, which will test whether that gene is important. If such genes are confirmed, then in theory cloned mammalian embryos（晶胚） might be grown in selected solutions that change the activity of those genes to improve the technique’s success rate. Although some groups have attempted to clone insects before, Lloyd says this is the first time it has been successful. The team used a slight difference on the standard cloning process: they transferred nuclei taken from embryos rather than fully-grown adult cells. They sucked several nuclei （pl）out of developing fly embryos, and injected them into a fertilized（已受精的） fly egg. From over 800 early attempts, they cloned five adult insects, the group reports in the journal Genetics.

How to beat nerves

Do you blank out, freeze up （呆住） or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night?

If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.

But, don’t panic. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.

Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline （肾上腺素）, which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel shaky（weak）, hot, or even sick.

If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety.

When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to ‘STOP!’ This will get your mind off the stress. Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help restore your confidence.

Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example: “I've studied hard and I know the material, so I’m ready to do the best I can.” Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities.

Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills. for example, time management and note-taking will give you the feeling that you are in control.
