When I think of people in this world who have really made a difference, I think of my parents. They were truly saints among ordinary people.

I was one of the ten children my parents adopted. They rescue (挽救)each of us from a life of poverty and loneliness. They were hardly able to restrain（克制）themselves from bringing home more children to care for. If they had had the resources （资源）they certainly would have.

Most people do not realize how much they appreciated（感激）someone until they pass away. My sisters and brothers and I did not want this to happen before we uttered（说）the words "Thank you" to our parents.

My brother Tom presented（提供）them with a card and we all hugged. My Dad pretended that he had known we were under the table

all along.

Women who exercise regularly need to be careful with what they eat. Researchers have found evidence（证据，迹象）that even moderate （适度的）exercise can result in losing iron. They said that women who exercise regularly, especially in endurance（耐久）activities, typically lose iron. In order to prevent this from becoming a problem（为了防止这成为问题）, it is important that those women consume more meat（吃肉）or take supplements （补充）to replace（取代）the iron lost.
