Question

Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That’s because they create temporary eating patterns—and, therefore, temporary results. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal! Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are five ways to make that happen.

Take exercise.   1.   . Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all help you look and feel good and keep weight off.

   2.   One reason people get less exercise these days is that they spend too much time watching TV, looking at the computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.

Watch out for unhealthy drinks. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary drinks, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks.   3.    

Eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals.   4.    And when you fill up on friuts and vegetables, you’re less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.

  5.   People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they are likely to get more calories.

A. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscles.

B. So go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.

C. They’ve also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up.

D. Don’t skip breakfast.

E. Share your breakfast with others.

F. It is bad for your eyes to spend too much time watching TV.

G. Reduce screen time.

5.D

【解析】

试题分析：文章介绍了同情心在过去的这些年里面在急剧的下降，同时也说明了下降的原因。同情心也是每个人所应该具备的素质之一，是工作取得成功的一个因素。文章也告诉我们应该怎样培养同情心。

1.A中心句概括。Take exercise 意为要做运动。横线后还要增加活动的量。所以答案应为A，意思为：有规律的锻炼可以燃烧你的热量增强你的肌肉。

2.G段落概括。下文的意思是：人们减少活动的主要原因是他们把大多数的时间花费在了看电视，玩电脑，玩游戏。所以答案应为G，意为减少面对屏幕的时间。

3.B总结上文。Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary drinks, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks.       意思为：增肥的另外一个关健因素是更多的人喝含糖的饮料，比如碳酸饮料，果汁饮料和运动饮料等。故下文应是B，意为：因此要喝水或者是低脂肪牛奶用来代替碳酸饮料。

4.C上下文联系题。段落的意思是，每天都要吃蔬菜和水果，它们里面不仅仅是维生素和矿物质，还有大量的纤维，可以使你充裕起来。故答案应为C。

5.D引起下文。People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they are likely to get more calories.句意为：不吃早餐的人通常感觉更饿，以致于后来吃得更多，因此他们会得到更多的热量。
