13、gary and cold, and his ice cream was _ of milk, cream and delicious fruit. “Nothing could be better,” he thought.

16、t and water. Wang Peng was _ at this and especially at the prices. It _ more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not _ his eyes. He _ down the menu and hurried outside.

17、ld not have Yong Hui getting away with _ people lies! He had better _ some research!At the library Wang Peng was _ to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Huis far too little.

18、y-giving food to _ them fit. They would become _ very quickly. Wang Peng felt more _ as he drove back home. Perhaps _ a discount and a new sign he could _ his customers back!

19、g after all and not have to close his restaurant. He did not look forward to being_ _ because his restaurant was no longer popular.

20、u were doing in my restaurant the other day?

22、i began to look _. “I feel sick with all this fat and heavy food,”she said,“I miss my vegetables and fruit.”Wang Peng was enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed.“Yes,”he _,“and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork. Dont you get tired quickly?” “Well, I _ have to rest a lot, ”_ Yong Hu

23、i. “But dont you think it would be better if you were a bit _?

25、nd increased the fibre in the meal. Their balanced diets became such a success _ before long Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui _ _ more weight.
