　　Four out of ten women who diet end up heavier than when they started watching their waistline(腰围), a study revealed today. The research also showed that a large percentage of women started noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight.

　　Yesterday, Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig Weight Management Program said: “In the UK 61.4 per cent of adults are overweight or obese. Successful weight management requires a long­term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. Otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started.”

　　The “Food, Body, Mind” report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2,000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss. Six in ten said they were on a diet then and one in five women said they were on a “continuous diet”．

　　It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their “reflection in the mirror”， preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites. Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.

　　However, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week or more. The average is ten days. Many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal. Others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers’ polishing off their children’s leftovers(剩饭)was another common cause of weight gain.

　　社会生活型阅读理解(二)

　　(一)

　　Someday a stranger will read your e­mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited.Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.

　　In fact，it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you.Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a girlfriend，a marketing company, a boss，a policeman or a criminal.Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21st century equal to being caught naked(裸露的)．

　　Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it’s important to reveal(透露)yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages，at appropriate times.Actually few boundaries remain.The digital breadcrumbs(面包屑)you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like.In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal what you think.Like it or not，increasingly we_live_in_a_world_where_you_simply_cannot_keep_a_secret. The key question is：Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is“no”．When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is“slipping away, and that bothers me”．

　　But people say one thing and do another.Only a small part of Americans change any behavior in an effort to preserve their privacy.Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费亭)to avoid using the EZ­Pass system that contracts(跟踪) automobile movements.And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards.Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50­cent­off coupon(优惠券)．

　　But privacy does matter—at least sometimes.It’s like health: when you have it，you don’t notice it.Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.[

　　()1.From Paragraph 2，we can infer________.

　　A．criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology

　　B．people tend to be more frank with each other in the information age

　　C．in the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets

　　D．people’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge

　　()2.What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?

　　A．There should be a distance even between friends.

　　B．There should be fewer quarrels between friends.

　　C．Friends should always be faithful to each other.

　　D．Friends should open their hearts to each other.

　　()3.Why does the author say“we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”？

　　A．There are always people who are curious about other’s affairs.

　　B．Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.

　　C．People leave traces around when using modern technology.

　　D．Modern society has finally developed into an open society.

　　()4.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?

　　A．They change behavior that might disclose their identity.

　　B．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.

　　C．They rely more and more on electronic equipment.

　　D．They use various loyalty cards for business deals.

　　()5.According to the passage，privacy is like health in that ________.

　　A．its importance is rarely understood

　　B．it is something that can easily be lost

　　C．people will make every effort to keep it

　　D．people don’t treasure it until they lose it(一)

　　主要论述在当今信息时代，个人信息因受他人窃取，而影响到私人空间。

　　1．D　推理判断题。第二段提到，有谁会不经过你的许可就会注视着你呢？可能是女朋友、营销公司、老板、警察或者是罪犯。无论他是谁，他们都会以你从来没有意想到的方式看着你。而注视你的人自然能获取你的个人信息，故可推断，人们的个人信息很容易在他们不知晓的情况下被他人获取。故选D。

　　2．A　细节理解题。第三段Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it’s important to reveal(透露)yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages，at appropriate times.提到，尽管在适当的时候向朋友、家人或爱人坦诚自己是重要的，但分界线是重要的，即：人与人之间还应该有适当的距离。由此判断选A。其他选项不符合文意。

　　3．C　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，作者认为，与朋友之间应该有适当的距离，但实际上这种距离很少存在。因为你留下的电子面包屑(即电子痕迹)使陌生人很容易窃取你的个人资料。所以作者说，不管你喜欢或不喜欢，我们愈加生活在一个不能保密的世界里，故选C。其他选项不符合文意。

　　4．B　细节理解题。根据When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”．可知，大多数美国人希望保留私人空间，但根据But people say one thing and do another.Only a small part of Americans change any behavior in an effort to preserve their privacy.可知，他们对保护私人空间做得少。故选B。

　　5．D　 细节理解题。根据最后一段But privacy does matter—at least sometimes.It’s like health: when you have it，you don’t notice it.Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.可知，私人空间如同健康一样，拥有的时候不注意，失去的时候才觉得珍惜。由此判断选D。
