This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way．
（3）

Fresh fish should smell sweet：you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge．Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh．（4）

When you have bought a fish and arrive home，you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately，but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two．Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one．
There are many common methods used to cook fish．（5）

First，clean it and season it with your choice of spices（調(diào)料）．Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound．（A larger one will take more time．）Then，it's ready to serve．

2．How to Work Out Your Worries by Writing
Something troubling you？You should write about it!Research indicates that people who write about a difficult situation often show improved mental and physical health.
   （1）

.It is a specific technique，and it's different from writing in a journal.The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular challenge.
   Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing.It can strengthen the immune system，including for people with illnesses such as flu，cancer and depression. （2）

   Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience，experts say. （3）

Then translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts.And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control.
   But expressive writing isn't a magical cure-all solution. （4）

.And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own，without therapy （治療）.
   （5）

？Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting，where you become lost in your emotions.Writing forces you to slow down.The mere act of labeling a feeling—of putting words to an emotion—can lessen the nervous activity in the threat area of the brain.Writing can increase someone's acceptance of his experience，and acceptance is calming.

A．Why write
B．What if you don't write
C．It can also help improve mood，sleep and memory
D．Expressive writing gave people the courage to face fears
E．It shouldn't be used as a replacement for other treatments
F．The first important step is to recognise what it is that is bothering you
G．Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as "expressive writing"

3．At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible．However，chances are that you don't act on your impulse （沖動(dòng)），but let it pass instead You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior．
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat．Unlike many other taboos，fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly．It's not taboo to talk about fat；it's taboo to be fat．The "in" look is thin，not fat．In the work world，most companies prefer youthful-looking executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public．The thin look is associated with youth，vigor and success．The fat person，on the other hand，is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy，self-discipline and self-respect．In an image-conscious society like the US，thin is "in" but fat is "out"．
It's not surprising that millions of Americans have become crazy about staying slim and "in shape"．The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not，however，the only reason for America's fascination with diet and exercise．Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health．As in most technologically developed nations，the life style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century．Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand．Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point．As a result of inactivity，people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable （易受攻擊的）to disease．In an effort to avoid such a fate，millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising．
