1．In the United States and several other countries，2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League．They play on teams in their hometowns．Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires （裁判員） to make sure that everyone follows the rules．Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms．Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to play teams that are more distant．Eventually，the top teams go to the Little League World Series．
One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown，New York，in 1839，Little League got started in Pennsylvania．Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings （局） than adult baseball．Little League became popular after World WarⅡwhen the game spread across the United States．By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it had spread to Europe．Children's baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years．After this，the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series，but the ban came to an end after one year．
At first，Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve．However，in 1974，the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit．The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls．Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen．Occasionally，a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player．For example，Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues，ten of them as an All-Star player．By and large，youngsters play baseball for fun，but their parents are proud of them．

7．Summer is the season to dive into new activities and kick back．And right now is the time to make sure that you're ready for the great outdoors，the holiday planning and travel，and the bathing suit beach days．
If you want to lose weight before summer，concentrate on dropping no more than a pound or two a week． （1）And when you trouble yourself，sooner or later you're going to gain it back．Operate at a 500 calorie a day deficit（虧損）． （2）So if you cut 500 calories a day for seven days straight，you'll lose a pound a week right there．
Operating at a decrease of 500 calories a day should involve both eating less and moving more；for example，you could consume 300 fewer calories and burn 200 extra per day．
Include both healthy eating and exercise in your weight-loss plan，and break the 500 calorie goal into small groups to make it more reachable（可達到的）． （3）
To cut 100 calories：（4）Have vegetable pizza instead of pepperoni（意大利辣香腸）．Use our Nutritional Needs Calculator to determine how many daily calories you should consume in order to lose，gain，or maintain your healthy goal weight．Once you've reached your goal，recalculate your nutritional needs for keeping extra weight off all summer long．
To burn 100 calories：Spend 15 minutes biking． （5）Spend 20 minutes gardening．Keep on exercising at least 30 minutes daily a week．Reading food labels and counting calories or writing down what and when you eat can give you more control as well．

D．It is okay to have some snacks between your meals．
