　　Ⅱ.阅读理解【科普知识类】

　　If you ’ re concerned about gaining weight over the upcoming holiday season,consider eating more slowly and you might consume less,a study suggests.Diet experts have been promoting this advice for years,and now nutrition scientists at the University of Rhode Island have some new data to back it up.

　　They had 30 normal-weight,college-age women come into a laboratory for lunch on two separate occasions.Each time,the women were offered a huge plate full of delicious food,plus a glass of water.They were asked to eat until the point of comfortable fullness.On one occasion,they were instructed to eat as quickly as they could; on the other occasion they ate slowly and put down their spoons between bites.

　　They did not know the food and water were weighed before and after the meal to determine the amount consumed.Findings were: When eating quickly,the women consumed 646 calories in about nine minutes.When eating more slowly,they had an average of 579 calories in about 29 minutes.

　　揟hey ate 67 calories more in nine minutes than they did in 29 minutes,?says lead researcher Kathleen Melans.?If you add that up over three meals a day,that抯 a big difference in calories.?ne m

　　揢pon completion of the meal and an hour afterward,the women were less satisfied and hungrier when eating quickly compared with when they ate slowly,?she says. b

　　They said they enjoyed the meal more when they were taking their time.Not surprisingly,the women drank more water when they ate more slowly,and researchers are doing a follow-up study on whether that factor contributed to their feeling fullness.

　　One way to help control calories intake during Thanksgiving is “to slow down and savor (尽情享受) and enjoy your food more,” she says.

　　1.The best title of the passage could be . 

　　A.Taking Your Time Causes Fullness B.Eating Quickly Means Less Calories

　　A.They reached different points of fullness. B.They were provided with different amount of food.

　　C.They ate their lunch at different speeds. D.They were offered different kinds of foods.

　　3.The aim of the study is to find whether speed influences 　 people eat. 

　　A.how well B.how much C.what D.the way

　　4.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?()

　　A.These women didn’t know the weight of the food until they finished the meal.

　　B.The food and water weren’t weighed until the end of the meal.

　　C.The amount of food consumed had little to do with the eating speed.

　　D.The more quickly they ate,the more calories they consumed.

　　3.Sticking to a dead-end job

　　Have you also thought of the time and energy you’re wasting on a job that doesn’t suit your skills,strengths,and interests?If you haven’t figured out yet what your dream job is,then use this stage to find out what it is.

　　Start creating a list of career ideas that you think will suit your strengths and interests then get your feet wet.4.　 These steps may not instantly take you to your dream job but it helps build the bridge to get you there. 

　　4.Giving up dreams for fear of failure

　　Fear is a powerful emotion.You feel it especially if you’re chasing something that’s bigger than yourself.5.　 Whether you dream of traveling the world or starting your own business,don’t let the fear of failure keep you from taking action.
