the library,six to ten dogs lie on the floor,and the kids pick a book to read to a dog.After they finish,they get a card with the dogs picture and history.Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp.She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her,especially the kids she has worked with.We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work.I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke(中风).One day,my husband,Jack,got Angel up into a chair next to the womans bed,asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat.She nodded.Angel gently took the treat.Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel.Her friend couldnt believe her eyes.After that,every time we saw the woman,she lifted her left hand.Wed tell her she had to use her right hand,and she would.Next,youll fall in love with this womans story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she

some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less selfconscious(难为情)when theyre in poorly lit placesand so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesnt have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the color1 s.Research suggests warm color1 s fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm color1 s like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold color1 s make us feel less hungry.So when its time to repaint,go blue.Dont forget the clockor the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while youre at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makesyou less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12inch plate instead of a 10inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent.And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass
