Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? You are not alone.

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Do not miss meals. Before yon leave home for a feast(宴会),have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.

Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

Choose lean meat(瘦肉).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate.

Last year I went to Nepal(尼泊尔) for three months to work in a hospital. I th ink it’s important to see as much of a country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me. We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our things. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants’ backs to see better, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the ti ger’s lunch! I started to feel very frightened.

We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out suddenly, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. It grabbed (咬住) Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I succeeded in pulling Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep.

Once upon a time there lived in a country a foolish king and a famous magician. One day this magician foretold the death of a rich merchant, who was a favorite of the king. It happened that the merchant died on that day. The magician never thought that this would cause him a lot of trouble.

When the king heard that his friend had died, he got very angry. He said it was the magician’s fault, and sent for him at once.

When the poor man heard this, he was very frightened. He knew that the king was angry with him and wanted to have him killed. For a few minutes he did not answer. He didn’t know what he could say to save himself. Then he had an idea.

“Your Majesty,” He said bowing, “I cannot foretell the exact date of my death, but I know that I shall die one day before the death of your Majesty.”

When the king heard this, it was his turn to be afraid. He thought, “If I cut his head today, I’ll die tomorrow. No, I can’t do this.
