听力原文: India and Pakistan issued visas on Tuesday to each other's senior diplomats after the nuclear rivals kicked out their predecessors in tit-for-tat expulsions earlier this month, an Indian foreign ministry spokesman said. "The visas have been given," the spokesman told reporters. Asked when the new envoys would take up their new posts, the spokesman said:" That is a matter of logistics(后勤)."

A staggering 61% of American adults currently meet the scientific definition of overweight or obesity, putting them at increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, depression and several forms of cancer.

Alcoholism is an illness. It is very hard for an alcoholic to stop drinking because they are afraid to. Alcoholics usually try to stop drinking because they may have hurt someone they love or may also be on the verge of losing their job.
People who stop drinking sometimes may have to go to the hospital for a period of time this is called detoxification. This is the best way for treatment when it is hard for them to stop.
The withdrawal symptoms are things such as shaking, sweating, fever, pains and nausea. These can be severe and dangerous to that person's health. After detoxification comes rehabilitation, a period of time when the person starts to recover mentally and physically. Most alcoholics will go to AA meetings during this time. This is where they can go and meet other alcoholics just like them. What if that parent goes back to drinking? That is called a setback or a slip which is very common.
