Doctors have a new weapon in the battle against obesity (过度肥胖) — a talking plate that tells people not to eat too quickly. The Mandometer monitors the amount of food leaving the plate, and tells users, “Please eat more slowly.”
The £1,500 Swedish device is to be used in a National Health Service plan to help hundreds of obese families lose weight. It comes in two parts — a scale placed under the plate and a small computer screen showing a graphic(图表) of the food gradually disappearing as the user eats. A red line on the screen shows the user’s eating speed, while a blue line shows a healthy rate. If the user eats too fast, the red line angles away from the blue one, warning him or her to ease off. If the lines deviate (偏离) too much, the computer voice comes on, and the screen flashes the message “Are you feeling full yet?” to remind users to think about whether they have had enough.
Britain has an increasingly serious obesity problem, with one in four adults and one in seven children classed as obese. After a recent trial using the device, experts believe teaching obese people to eat more slowly will help them know when they are full. Around 600 families with at least one obese parent and child (aged five or older) were targeted in the project by Bristol University, along with GPs and nurses.
Professor Julian Hamilton-Shield, who is leading the plan, says obese children and adolescents using the Mandometer ate from 12 to 15 percent less per meal at the end of the 12-month trial. Six months after they stopped using the device they still ate less, and continued to lose weight. “It will be a powerful tool to help families retrain their eating habits,” he says.
1.What does the red line on the screen show?
A. A healthy rate of eating. B. Too much food is left.
C. The user’s eating speed. D. The user is full.
2.What can we infer from the text?
A. The device can help obese people form good eating habits.
B. Every family will have such a device soon.
C. This device is the best way to lose weight.
D. People will no longer worry about obesity.
3.The underlined phrase ease off is closest in meaning to ______.
A. to become less tense B. to eat more slowly
C. to remove gently and slowly D. to stop
4.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?
A. 25% of children are obese in Britain.
B. One in seven adults is obese in Britain.
C. Children using the Mandometer ate less after the trial.
D. Six months after the trial, obese people are still eating a lot.

Every year seals would crowd ashore in Farne Island and give birth to their pups. Between early October and early December, 1,500 seal pups will be born. Almost half of them will not make it past the first three weeks of life.
“The pups have to stay out of the water for the first three weeks, when they have their white coat, which is not very waterproof,” explains the warden (监察员),who spends nine months on the Island.
“But when you’re born in November on a rock in the North Sea, it’s a tough start to life,” he said. Storms often wash young pups into the water. And occasionally, young, inexperienced mothers abandon their pups and head out to sea.
“We lost 41% last year,” said David Steel, the National Trust’s head warden on the Farne Islands. “Mother Nature certainly keeps them in check.”
Despite the early challenges for every newborn seal, the population is healthily and slowly and steadily growing. There are almost 4,000 seals on a set of islands, which is named a Special Area of Conservation(SAC), meaning it is protected under EU regulations. This successful human safeguarding of the seals’ habitat is huge turnaround(转机).
Just a few decades ago, the seal population was deliberately decimated. The animals used to be thought of as a threat to local fish stocks. During the late 1960s and 1970s, thousands of seals were shot in a cull(剔除)that aimed to protect the local fishing industry. According to the National Trust, between 1962 and 1983 approximately 2,000 adult females and 3,000 pups were shot.
But, as the fishing industry collapsed, it was gradually replaced by tourism. Today, several companies use fishing boats to take groups of people to visit the islands and admire the scenery, seabirds and, of course, the seals that make their homes in this bleakly beautiful place.
1.In the first three weeks after they were born, almost half of the seal pups _______.
A. would be abandoned by their mothers
B. would be protected by the wardens
C. couldn’t live independently
D. would die mostly in the sea water.
2.According to David Steel, death of so many pups________.
A. is a normal and natural phenomenon
B. is mainly caused by farmers’ killing
C. can be prevented efficiently by man
D. will be controlled by Mother Nature
3.The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ?____?.
A. increase B. kill C. reduce D. control
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. The Beautiful Farne Island
B. A Tough Beginning
C. How to Protect Grey Seals
D. Tourism or Fishing Industry
