Question

Stop eating yourself stupid we all know that poor nutrition can lead to bad health and even weight gain. Now add “lack of intelligence” to the growing list. A recent study has found that what you eat could very likely play a role in how smart you are.

According to the study, rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding food that was waiting for them. 1.  Actually a high-fat diet could weaken our intelligence--but so can a low-calorie diet. The trick appears to lie in finding a nice balance.

Here are ways to achieve that happy balance and make you smarter through diet, exercise and improving your brain power.

Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your weight. __2.__ If you need to drop a few pounds, take away the number you get by 400 calories; consume that number of calories each day until you drop the weight.

__3.__Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of water. Well! Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles. __4.__

Exercise regularly with a positive attitude. Aim for at least three 30-minute training sessions a week(but more is better). I like simple exercise such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good. _5._  Combine them! Some people like to listen to classical music such as Bach or Mozart, but rock music lovers will be happy to learn that this kind of music can help make them smarter as well.

A．You may be fond of music, too.

B．Your health depends on your exercise plan.

C．Aim to get this number of calories each day.

D．Don’t forget to exercise your mind while doing so.

E．You may be wondering what this has to do with us.

F．These are all good ways to help increase your intelligence.

G．Eat the right foods in addition to getting the right number of calories.

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述的是我们吃的东西对我们的智力也是有一定的影响的，所以我们要注意饮食的合理性。

1.E 推理题。根据前一句rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding food that was waiting for them.可知给老鼠喂10天富含脂肪的食物，这些老鼠就会显示出智力方面的下降。那么这样的问题好不好出现在人类的身上呢。故E项符合上下文。

2.C 推理题。根据下一句Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your weight.可知你要搞清楚要维持你的体重，你需要多少的能量。然后你就努力每天都摄入这么多的能力即可。故C正确。

3.G 推理题。根据下一句Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein可知我们要立志获得健康的食物，这些食物要含有适合数量的营养物质和能量。故G正确。

4.F 根据前面2行Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles可知劳逸结合，阅读等等都是提高我们智力的好方法。故F项符合上下文。

5.A 推理题。根据前面2句. I like simple exercise such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good可知任何能够提高智力的方法都好。
