It's 5 ：00in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run,but today I choose my favourite exercise DV D. Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired? but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows,surprised by my "no thank you", or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years,I have learned it's okay to just say "no". I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5 :00 am? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment,A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety,increases self-confidence and energy,extends life,and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile ap?pears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favourite pair of jeans that now fit just right. Its through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

In the early days of human history,people survived by hunting wild ani?mals,or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then,some people learn?ed to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.
Since the 16th century,the word "farm" has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word " farm" is linked to economics. The word "farm" comes from the Latin word, "firma", which means an unchanging payment.
Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word "farm" was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.
Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural land.
Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay (干草) while the sun shines.
Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear.
A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.
A new mother,for example,quickly learns to try to sleep when her baby is quiet,even in the middle of the day. If the mother delays,she may lose her chance to .sleep. So,the mother learns "to make hay while the sun shines".
Beans are a popular farm crop. But beans are used to describe something of very little value in the expression "not worth a hill of beans". The expres?sion is often used today.
You could say,for example,that a bad idea is " not worth a hill of beans". Language expert Charles Earle Funk said the expression was first used almost seven hundred years ago. He said Robert of Gloucester described a message from the King of Germany to King John of England as altogether "not worth a bean.”
