Simple Ways You Can Avoid Overeating During Holidays

The holidays are all about best purpose: early finish of shopping, mailing cards on time, and what is the most important one—surviving the year’s fat-filled feeding race. Sorry, we can’t help licking envelopes or shopping that is up to you! But we can arm you with these smart eating tips for indulging(大吃大喝) without weight gain.

__【1】__ The worst thing you can do is stand around the table at a party and dip into the bowl. You will have no idea how much you are really eating unless you do put your choices on the plate.

Calm yourself. __【2】__ When someone gets third or orders that second glass of wine, you can go along them naturally. Why do we eat more than we think? If you are surrounded by fast eaters, take a half glass of water between bites to slow down.

Reduce those portions. Choose the smallest plate as possible. __【3】__ It has been tested out that whether it is popcorn or even spaghetti the bigger the plate, package or bowl is, the more you are likely to eat.

_【4】__ Variety might be the best of life, but it is also a recipe for overeating. Researchers found that adults who were offered sandwiches with four different kinds of filling ate a second more than those who got only their favorite ones. So the advice is to pack together similar tastes.

Don’t talk with your mouth full. One of the best ways to keep from employing yourself at a big family dinner is great conversation. So as Mom used to say, before you start chatting first finish chewing. When you talk and eat at the same time, you are not really paying attention to either of them. __ 【5】__

A. Control your choices.

B. Always pick up the special food.

C. You look pretty unpleasant as well.

D. Your eyes can trick the stomach.

E. Get away from the table.

F. Feel the taste of each bite.

G. Take your seat near the slowest eater at the table.

【答案】

【1】E

【2】G

【3】D

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

试题分析: 本文主要讲了假期期间怎样避免大吃大喝，这里作者给了几条建议，如远离餐桌，保持冷静等。

【1】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：你做的最糟糕的事情就是在大型的聚会上围在桌子旁，把自己浸泡在碗里。所以这里选E（远离餐桌。）与上下文一致。

【2】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：使自己冷静。空后的意思是：当别人开始第三个或者点了第二杯酒时，你可以跟随着他们。所以这里选G（坐在一个吃的慢的人旁边。）与上下文一致。

【3】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：尽量选择小的盘子。所以这里选D（你的眼睛会欺骗你的胃。）与上下文一致。

【4】A 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：多样化可能是生活最好的方式，但是同样也是大吃大喝的食谱。所以这里选A（控制自己的选择。）与上下文一致。

【5】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：当你边吃边说时，你真的不会注意到他们中的任何一个。所以这里选C（你看起来也让人很不愉快。）与上下文一致。
