• 3．I went shopping for a dress to wear to my daughter's high school graduation half a year ago.To my horror，I could only fit into a size 20.
     Being overweight most of my adult life，I always had very little self-confidence.Wearing a dress I didn't like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help.Thankfully，a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings，and I noticed her great progress.Her success inspired me to give it a try.I joined Weight Watchers，attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.
     I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting!I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others.I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories，recipes and information offered there，I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers，which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.
     It's hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change.I didn't walk anywhere and couldn't wash my car or walk my dog.Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them.But the change didn't happen overnight.I had to exercise with patience and perseverance（坚持）.I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good.
     The "new me" is more self-confident and healthier.I love how I feel now.I have more energy and feel like I'm 25 again.So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem？

• 8．阅读回答问题
      Bottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty.Bottled water is all over the world.But some say the planet's health，and people's health maybe suffering from it.
      The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true.The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said， "There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle，it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap." Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is "really just tap water in a bottle-sometimes more clean，sometimes not.
      It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water.Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said， "The high mineral content （含量） of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children." Also，most bottled water doesn't have fluoride （氟化物），which can make teeth stronger.Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water，and some say that's behind the recent rise in bad teeth.
      Storing is another problem.Placed near heat，the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals （化学物质） into the water.
      According to the Environmental Protection Agency，some 2.7 millon tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year.The plastic can take between 400 and 1，000 years to break down.
      In terms of energy use，plastic bottles are also not cheap.One report said that if water and soft drink bottles had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles；they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.
      So，if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth，you can take the following steps.
      Drink from your tap.Unless your government warns against this，it should be fine.
      Get a container （容器）.Cary your tap water in steel or a lined drinking container，and clean it between uses.
      Keep it cool.Don't drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun.Don't store it near chemicals，and don't reuse plastic battles.
      Choose glass containers over plastic if possible.When finished，recycle!
  
  （1）Why do some people think bottled water is bad for kids' teeth？

  
  （2）What will happen if you put the plastic bottles in the sun？

  
  （3）Please explain how to reduce worries about the bad effect of bottled water，according to the passage.

  
  （4）Do you like buying bottled water？Why or why not？
