    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a. m. When I arrived to collect my passenger, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.

    She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way l would want my mother treated."

    "Oh, you're such a good man," she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive me throughout the downtown (市中心)?"

    "It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.

    "Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to hospice (末期病人安养所). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time." I quietly shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, and the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and she would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

    As the day broke, she suddenly said. "I'm tired. Let's go now."

    We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

    "How much shall I give you?" she asked.

    "Nothing," I answered.

    "You have to make a living," she said.

    "Oh, there are other passengers," I said.

    Almost without thinking, I bent down and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly and said, "You gave an old woman a little moment of happiness."

    There was once a little grey planet mat was very sad. The people living there didn't look after it. They polluted me whole planet so much with rubbish that there were no plants or animals left.

    One day, a little boy was walking on the planet when he passed a cave (洞穴) and noticed a small red flower inside. The flower was very sick, almost dying, so the boy carefully dug up the flower with roots, soil and everything. Then he started looking for a place where he could look after it. He searched all over the planet, but everywhere was so polluted that there was no place the flower could possibly live in. Then he looked up at the sky and noticed the Moon. It seemed to the boy that maybe the plant could live there. So the little boy put on his astronaut suit, and climbed into a spaceship. He put the little red flower in the back, and they went to the Moon.

    Far away from all that pollution, and with the boy visiting it every day to take care of it, the flower started to grow. The flower was so well cared for that it soongerminated, giving birth to others, and these other flowers spread onto other flowers. Before long, the whole Moon was completely covered with flowers.

    That's why, whenever the little boy's flowers open up, for a few minutes the Moon turns red, like a warning light. Maybe it's telling us that if we don't look after our planet, the day will come when flowers will only be able to grow on the Moon.

    Working on losing weight? Then you probably want the results to be fast. Let me save you some time. You have healthier choices you can start on today—a healthy diet and enough exercise!

    "You can safely lose 3 or more pounds a week with a healthy diet and lots of exercise, "says weight loss consultant Dr Katherine.

    If you burn 500 more calories than you eat every day for a week, you could lose about 1-2 pounds. If you want to lose weight faster, you'll need to eat less and exercise more.

    For example, if you take in 1,050 to 1,200 calories a day, and exercise for one hour per day, you could 1ose 3-5 pounds in the first week.

    For healthy eating habits to help people lose weight, Dr Katherine recommends eating a diet that reduces starch (淀粉). Sugar and animal fat from meat and dairy foods should be added to your daily diet. For a fast weight loss, Dr Katherine also recommends focusing on fruits, vegetables, egg whites, soy products, chicken, fish, seafood, nonfat dairy foods, and meat with less than 10% of fat.

    Here are more tips from Dawn Jackson, the writer of the bookThe Flexitarian Diet:

    Eat vegetables to help you feel full.

    Drink plenty of water.

    Get fast food out of your home.

    Stay busy—you may want to eat just when you're bored.

    Eat only from a plate, while seated at a table. No sitting in front of the fridge.

    Don't forget your meals.

    Keep a food journal. Write down everything you eat can also help you keep a healthy diet. The act of writing it down is about being responsible to yourself and is a very effective method for weight loss.

    Besides taking notes of what and when you ate, you might also want to note how you were feeling right before you ate it. Were you angry, sad, or bored? We often focus so much on foods and calories, but our feelings are a huge part of our eating habits. For example, people may eat much more than they need when they are angry. It can be a big help for losing weight if you can control your feelings before you start to eat.
