    The Best Way to Reduce Your Weight

    You hear this:"No wonder you are fat. All you ever do is eat."You feel sad:"I skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?"Basically you can do nothing. Your genes,not your life habits,determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it.
    Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that,"80 percent of the children of two obese parents become obese,as compared with no more than 14 percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight."
    How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting?Well,dieting can be effective,but the health costs are tremendous.Jules Hirsch,a research physician at Rockefeller University,did a study of eight fat people.They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.After more than 10 weeks,the subjects lost 45kg on average.But after leaving the hospital,they all regained weight. The results were surprising:by metabolic measurement,fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They had psychiatric problems.They dreamed of food or breaking their diet.They were anxious and depressed;some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms.Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn't result in normal weight,but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non-obese people.
    Thin people,however,suffer from the opposite:They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims,of the University of Vermont,got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months,they ate as much as they could.They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent. But months after the study ended,they were back to normal weight and stayed there.
    This did not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight.
    The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true一each person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60-69kg without too much effort.But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks.

    What did scientists think was true?
    A:Each person has a fixed weight range.
    B:Each person has a weight range of 9 kg.
    C:Each person wants to control his weight.
    D:Each person wants to eat to his heart's content.

    答案：A
    解析：
    题干意思：什么决定你的体重？第一段中：Your genes , not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it．你的基因而不是你的生活习惯决定了你的体重，而且你的身体总是试图保持原样。所以选择D。
    题干意思：Jules Hirsch在他的研究中做了什么？第三段中：They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day．可以得出D选项正确。
    题干意思：8个肥胖者出院后怎么了？ 第四段的最后一句：But months after the study ended , they were back to normal weight and stayed there．研究结束几个月后，他们的体重又回到了原来的样子，并保持不变。所以选择C项。
    题干意思：Ethan Sims让他的调查对象干什么？ 第四段中：Ethan Sims,of the University of Vermont , got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight．佛蒙特州立大学的Ethan Sims 在罪犯中招募志愿者去增重。可见选项B是正确的答案。
    题干意思：科学家认为什么是对的？最后一段的第一句：The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true一each person has a comfortable weight range．这些发现还证实了一些科学家认为是正确的一点，即每个人的体重有一个适当的幅度。所以选择A。

    　　W：John, we’ve got to go on a diet!
    　　M：Oh, no, not again. It never works for me.
    　　W：It would work if you listened to me and made an effort.
    　　M：All right, what is it this time?
    　　W：Well, first of all, we should plan a balanced diet. We should make sure that we’re getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals and things like that.
    　　M：That sounds like homework!
    　　W：Don’t worry. I’ve got a list of all things here and loads of recipes for all sorts of meals. Secondly, we shouldn’t try to lose weight quickly. It doesn’t work, because you lose energy and feel hungry all the time. I think it’s better to feel good and lose weight slowly.
    　　M：So how long is this diet going to go on?
    　　W：Until we feel we’re the right weight! Maybe each of us should give up something that is bad for us. You know, I should give up cakes and you should give up sugar in tea and coffee.
    　　M：Ugh
    　　W：Oh, come on, you can do it! It’ll make life cheaper as well.
    　　M：True, cakes are getting quite expensive!

    What Makes Me the Weight I Am?
    There's no easy answer to this question.Your genetic makeup,the physical traits that get passed down to you from your parents,plays a big part in determining your size and weight. ______(46)But if your parents are smaller than average,you may want to rethink that professional basketball career!
    The same goes for your body type.Have you ever heard someone say a person is"big boned"?It's a way of saying the person has a large frame,or skeleton.Big bones usually weigh more than small bones. ______(47) Like your height or body type,your genes have a lot to say about what your weight will be.But that's only part of the story.Being overweight can run in someone 's family , but it may not be because of their genes._______ (48 ) And even though some kids gain weight more easily than others , when they eat right and exercise , most kids can be a healthy and happy weight that's right for them.It's true the way you live can change the way you look.
    How much you weigh is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use. ______(49)If you spend your free time watching TV, your body won' t use as many calories as it would if you played basketball,skated,or went for a walk.If you are in balance,your weight will stay right for you as you grow.But if you eat more and exercise less,you may become overweight.______(50)

    ______(50)
    A:That's why it's possible for two kids with the same height but different weight,to both be the right weight.
    B:If you eat more calories than your body needs to use,you will gain too much weight.
    C:Poor eating and exercise habits also run in families and this may be the reason the members.of a family are overweight.
    D:However , many overweight people have difficulty reaching their healthy body weight.
    E:On the other hand, "you eat less and exercise more, you, may lose weight.
    F:If both your parents are tall,there is a good chance you＇II be tall.

    答案：E
    解析：
    空格前后句中都出现了parents，因此判断空格处也谈及parents的可能性很大，因此首先注意F项。而且空格前句中的your size and weight呼应F项中的tall,而空格后句中的smal-ler也是在说身高的问题，因此判断F是答案。
    由此空前文内容可知，人的骨骼有大小之分，而大骨架通常比小骨架要重，因此才有可能出现这种现象，即身高相同、体重不同的两个孩子体重均正常。
    前一句讲，身体超重有可能在家族中代代相传，但又不一定是基因遗传所致，接下来的句子就应说明其原因，即不良的饮食与运动习惯也代代相传，而这可能正是家族成员普遍超重的原因。
    空格前后句中都出现了“calories（热量）”，因此判断空格处出现该词的可能性较大，因此首先重点注意B项。空格后面的句子结构是“if you… , your body…”，该结构也正好与B呼应，形成排比结构，因此判断B是答案。
    前一句表明，如果一个人吃得多而运动得少，就有可能超重。“反之亦然”，即“吃得少而运动得多，体重就会减轻”，这显然应该是下一句要表达的意思。

    Practice 5　　You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.　　Write about the following topic:　　In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing.　　What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?　　Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.　　Write at least 250 words.

    正确答案： 【参考范文】
    Today, more and more countries are experiencing a situation where their citizens are becoming heavier, less fit, and more unhealthy. The causes of this are clear, and there are many possible solutions. I shall look at the causes and a couple of possible solutions in this essay.
    In almost all cases, the causes of increased weight are excessive eating and/or lack of exercise. If a person eats more calories than they use, they will certainly gain weight. If they do not exercise enough, this weight gain will become fat and too much fat results in health problems such as obesity and depression. The solutions, therefore, are simple enough—to convince people to consume fewer calories and/or exercise more.
    This is easier said than done. Nowadays, more and more people have access to an increasing amount of food. Many people prefer food that is high in calories—perhaps because they think it tastes better or because it is faster and more convenient. One way of getting them to eat fewer calories can be to show them tastier dishes quickly prepared with lower calories.
    Another solution is to have people do more exercise, so that the calories eaten are less of a problem. This could be done by reducing the cost of keeping fit and by creating better infrastructure. Financing sports and exercise facilities could be pricey, but there are long-term savings as well as benefits if people are healthier as a result. If every neighbourhood had easily accessible sports and exercise facilities, people would be able to use them much more often.
    In conclusion, there are two main causes of weight increase and there are several possible solutions to tackle it.
