Furthermore, they tend to be less price 14 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 15for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a m arket."1. A. in particularB. in realityC. at leastD. first of all2.

It’s about balancing calories in tiny ways that add up to big benefits. You just form some habits that lean people have. Stick with them, and you’ll become thin.1. Wake-upWhen your eyes open, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend forward until you feel a stretch in your back. Hold and then use your abs (腹部肌肉) to lower yourself flat. Rest and repeat two more times. It will burn about 10 calories.2. Start with soup⑥When you have meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. It can save twice the calories. Besides, you’ll feel fuller, so you’ll eat less when the main food comes.3. An apple (or more) a dayApples are packed with fiber（光纤） and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.4. Stand up and walk aroundEvery time you take the phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more per day than thin people. This trick is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 or more calories.Use these tricks.

Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing（回响）across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted（爆发）. O'Donnel had scored!Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried.I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致礼）salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal. Mike happily and everyone sent their wishes to him.Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie.

We will also be looking to run other additional services to meet demand as required. At this stage we will run services stopping at all stations which will depart at the same time on the hour; however, this is all subject to the weather conditions and the availability of traincrew.”Mr Scurrah encouraged all customers to visit the Translink website for specific departure times for their station, and asked for patience in the event of delays.“Queensland Rail appreciates that reduced services may cause disruptions but it is simply unavoidable.
