Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit pl aces—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
4. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.
A. their home comforts
B. their body shape
C. house buying
D. healthy diets
5. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.
A. digest food better

C. burn more calories
D. regain their appetites
6. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A. Eat quickly.
B. Play fast music.
C. Use smaller spoons.
D. Turn down the lights.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is Your House Making You Fat?
B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Effects of Self-Consciousness
D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?
C
Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help
encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
8. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D. Parent-child relationships.
9. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?
A. In paragraph 2.
B. In paragraph 3.
C. In paragraph 4.
D. In paragraph 5.
10. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
11. How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask then to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
D
Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select r ipe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a c hildren’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
12. What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein.
B. They are high in vitamin A.
C. They have a pleasant taste.
D. They are rich in antioxidants.
13. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A. To make them smell better.
B. To keep their colour.
C. To speed up their ripening.
D. To improve their nutrition.
14. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?
A. A dessert.
B. A drink.
C. A container.
D. A machine.
15. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook.
B. A health magazine.
C. A research paper.
D. A travel brochure.

___16___ Forecasts are a prediction based on an educated guess. Since there are a wide variety of factors that go into a forecast, it’ s possible for meteorologists(气象学家) to guess wrong from time to time. Fortunately, modern technology has allowed forecasters to become much more accurate over the last decade.
Today, meteorologists use complicated mathematical models to predict the weather with the help of powerful supercomputers and tons of observational data from land, sea, and air weather stations around the world. Where does all this data come from? ___17___ Many people create their own backyard weather stations to measure temperature and precipitation. They can report their observations to local meteorologists to help improve local forecasts.
Technologically advanced weather stations are established by meteorologists all over the world. ___18___ Various tools are used to measure air pressure, wind speed, relative humidity (湿度), etc.
To get data from the seas and the upper atmosphere, data-collection tools and instruments may be tied to ships, airplanes, and even buoys (浮标) in the middle of the ocean. ___19___ They can be used on a global scale to spot weather trends for large areas.
All these tools around the world produce millions of pieces of weather-related observational data every single day. ___20___ Current data is compared to similar patterns that have occurred in the past to determine what will likely happen in the future.
A. Sometimes it comes from common people like you.
B. However, weather forecasting is not a perfect science.
C. They collect and share data to help improve forecasts.
D. Supercomputers process that data to produce forecasts.
E. Weather balloons and weather satellites also provide observational data.

Reputation is easy; character is hard. Doing the right thing when others are watching is easy.___34___ public integrity, resolve or sincerity often results in recognition and praise. Doing the right thing when no one is watching is hard. Your nonpublic integrity gains no ___35___ or applause. Doing the right thing is also hard ___36___ it often runs against our best interests. The true test of ___37___ is what you do when people aren’t watching. Maybe ___38___ is Jennifer’s main character and maybe it’s not, but that doesn’t ___39___.

9.You can imagine how shy I was when I thought of that with so many eyes fixing on me. I had no choice but prepare for it, though. The hardest part was my oral presentation from my memory, as to reading from the paper wasn’t allowed. The real moment began when I stood on the platform with
my legs trembled or my mind blank. And my listeners were waiting patient. Gradually, I found me back, giving my speech at last. After what seemed to be a long time, I heard the listener applauding
