Remember it’s not all about losing weight but about your whole life. If you want to achieve something, take it seriously and persist(坚持) no matter what happens.
Since then, we have been out running each morning, and we do some yoga in the evening. We sing and laugh while running along the empty roads. Day by day, I am feeling better.

have lived with humans longer than cats, and dogs have been trained to do what people want them to do.
As cat owners know well, cats do not follow humans in the same way dogs do. As a result, many people have come to think that maybe cats do not understand human language. A report shows that cats understand human language well enough to recognize their own names. The report tells a series of experiments with house cats in Japan. In these tests, people said four words that were similar to cats’ names,and each word had the same number of syllables(音节) and some of the same sounds.
The cats seemed to lose interest after the speaker said a few of the words. Then the person said the cats’ names. The cats moved their ears when they heard names. The cats moved their ears when they heard their names. They also moved their feet.
In another part of the experiment, Japanese researchers went to a cat cafe, a business where humans can come to spend time with cats. They compared house cats to cats that live at the cat cafe. People said the names of the cats staying in the cat cafe. These house cats reacted (反应) as much to the names of the cats living at the cat cafe just as to their own names. The researchers thought this was because visitors may give food to the cats when they reacted.
The researchers hope that the findings from their study will help both cats and people. They add that perhaps cats can learn words to warn them of dangerous things or places. 7. What does the report show?
A. Dogs can recognize their names. B. Cats know nothing about humans.
