Including the following food or fruit in your breakfast makes you healthier and full of energy.

Grapefruit

"Even if you changed nothing else about your diet, eating half a grapefruit before each meal may help you lose up to a pound a week, "says Patricia Bannan, author of Eat Right When the Time Is Right, "Researchers found that when obese people ate half a grapefruit before each meal, they dropped an average of 3. 5 pounds over 12 weeks, "she says.

Tart Cherry

Tart cherries have been shown to benefit heart health as well as body weight in a study on obese rats, A 12-week study by the University of Michigan found that rats fed tart cherries showed a 9 percent belly fat reduction. Moreover, the researchers noted that the cherry consumption had great ability to alter the expression of fat genes. Enjoy them during breakfast to kick your morning off right.

Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients and can help you burn fat. They are high in fiber and have a low glycemic index (血糖指数), which means they're absorbed slowly and keep you feeling full longer. Min Chen likes to use them to whip up a sweet potato hash. "I love any kind of this dish because it provides rich vitamins, minerals and fiber. It is very filling, which helps keep appetite and portions under control as the day goes on, "she says.

Bell Pepper

Green, red or yellow, fresh or frozen, peppers are never a bad companion for your eggs. Thanks to their high vitamin C content, eating them can help burn stored fat. Studies also indicate that vitamin C helps muscles process a fatty acid called carnitine that's essential to muse growth and recovery.

We were driving along a road in the middle of nowhere, a few trees on each side, mountains in the distance. There hadn't been a town for ages and no road signs except one with "Bungee Jumping, 5km" on it, and an arrow pointing to the left.

We drove on for what seemed much more than five kilometers to me. Then we heard people shouting and laughing. We pulled over and walked to where the noise and people were. In the middle of a bridge were a big group of kids who were all leaning over and looking down into the ditch, shouting and laughing. Another person was hanging from a long piece of elastic rope in the middle of the ditch He was screaming like mad. The other people slowly pulled him up to the bridge. As the guy come to the top he looked scared and shocked, but also very, very happy.

Seeing your sparkling eyes, I knew what you were thinking —"Let's try it, Daddy!" — But I didn't want to. "Danger!!! Damage to internal organs! Damage to your eyes! You can get tangled up in the rope! What happens if the rope breaks? Who knows who these people are? Have you any idea how far away from a hospital we are?" But then I remembered how I felt when I used to take a bike without brakes and go down a big hill on it as kid myself. Eventually I bit my tongue before all those rushed out.

I breathed in, closed my eyes, and jumped, thinking I was going forever and wondered when I would stop. But it felt great. I felt sacred and thrilled and alive. Yes, it was dangerous, and thrilling. But the most exciting, thrilling, and wonderful thing of all was seeing your smiling face as I came back up to the bridge.

The Sieferts are the kind of environmentally conscious family who has solar panels atop their home. They use timers on their kids' showers and have planted drought-tolerant landscaping. But they feel kind of guilt. "I haven't thought about the pool as much as I probably should," said Annette Siefert.

As California's drought worsens, swimming pools have become a target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water. Some water districts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use.

But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: Pools aren't the water wasters some have made them out to be. Analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the same amount of water as a lawn(草坪) of the same size. Over time, pools might even use less water. With pool covers, experts say water evaporation(蒸发)can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping.

Facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the Santa Margarita Water District conducted its own water-use analysis. It found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill initially, but they use about 8, 000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that. By the third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pool's cumulative water use falls below that of a lawn.

Water agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have come to similar conclusions. Armed with new information, Santa Margarita Water District officials will reconsider their ban next week.

"We want to respect the people's rights to use their property. There are many families we know that have saved for pools," said Jonathan Volzke, spokesman for the 155, 000-customer district. "But at the same time, the reality around us is that we're in the third year of a serious drought, and we don't know if we're in the third year of a three-year drought or the third year of a 10-year drought. "

Have you ever wanted to make a phone call but you couldn't? Perhaps because there is no signal. Or because you've left your mobile at home. Or because your battery has gone dead. It's frustrating, right? So far no one has found a solution to the problem of not receiving a signal, but now BIpho Phones have just brought out their latest invention—a mobile phone that is always with you and never runs out of energy.

The Permaphone is a telephone implant(植入物). The receiver sits behind your ear, the microphone is in the tip of your nose and the flexible touch screen is under a layer of completely transparent(透明的) artificial skin on the inside of your wrist. All you need is a quick visit to a hospital for a simple operation and then you are your mobile—a walking talking telephone. It gets its power from your body. Every time you move, you produce kinetic(运动的) energy. The Permaphone captures this energy and so never goes dead.

The operation took only five minutes and was completely painless and since I left the hospital I've been experimenting with my new phone implant. After a day or two it feels perfectly natural: just like a part of my body. It's so simple to switch the phone on and off, to turn the volume(音量) up or down and to access all the functions.

So are phone implants the future of mobile phone technology? Well, maybe. However, there are some drawbacks too. For example, when you have a cold it may not be very convenient to have the microphone in your nose. And although Blpho say it is completely waterproof, I wonder how confident you would feel when you go swimming with your Permaphone. And finally, one more question that they haven't answered yet: do you need to go back to hospital for another operation every time you want to update your phone?

I teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I1asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth2. He then asked me why I3seemed to be so cheerful.

His question4me of something I'd read somewhere before:" Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about what you want to5life that day, "I said I6to be cheerful.

I continued to address the students in the class. 7teaching here, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day I drove to Henderson, but on the way my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't turn8. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and9down the road to the college.

When I told the secretary this was my lucky day, she was10. "Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?"

"I live 17 miles from here." I replied. "My car could11down anywhere along the freeway. It didn't. 12, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, 13walking distance of here. I'm still able to teach my class, and I've been able to14for the tow truck(拖车) to meet me after class. If my car was15to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion." The secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. So ended my story.

16the early hour, no student seemed to be asleep. 17, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn't because of the story but my cheerfulness18it had all started.

Just as an Indian wise man said, "Who you are speaks louder to me than19you can say." I suppose it20be so.
