对很多人来说ACT考试可能是第一次试水，考前的紧张和焦虑肯定是都有的，如果我们要是做足了准备工作，减小考试焦虑

Healthy food is being promoted by chefs, celebrities, and many restaurants. However, there are still a lot of chain restaurants for junk food that are very popular.We should consider why people keep eating unhealthy food.

Perspective one: healthy food are normally organic and fresh. However, they are not easy to access and can be expensive, which is why people choose junk food over healthy food.

Perspective two: people choose their food base on their culture. They don't choose their food base on its nutrition value. Therefore, they would continue eating the food that they traditionally eat whether if it's healthy or not.

Perspective three: people chose their base on its taste. Unless someone is able to produce healthy food that taste just as good as junk food, people will continue eating junk food.

译文：

厨师，名人和许多餐馆正在推广健康食品。但是，垃圾食品的连锁餐馆还是很受欢迎的，我们应该考虑为什么人们继续吃不健康的食品。

观点一：健康食品通常是有机的，新鲜的。然而，他们不容易获得，可能是昂贵的，这就是为什么人们选择垃圾食品而不是健康食品。

前景二：人们选择他们的文化基础上的食物。他们不选择营养价值的食物基础。因此，不论健康与否，他们都会继续食用

传统食物。

视角三：人们根据自己的口味选择了自己的基础。除非有人能够生产出像垃圾食品一样好的健康食品，否则人们会继续吃垃圾食品。

解析：

题目分析：这是社会类题目，这是继bad laws, casual clothes, adults playing toys之后又一道社会类题目，这类题目是写作部分相对较难的一类。

写作难点：要求考生就一社会现象的原因进行分析，而不单纯是论证这一现象的好坏，这是与以往题目的最大差别。

文章主题：文章给出的三个观点不是对立的观点，而是三种可能的原因：

原因一：健康食物难找到，并且很贵。

原因二：人们根据文化选择食物，而不是健康程度。

原因三：人们根据自己的喜好选择食物，垃圾食品更好吃。

写作建议：如果考生没有自己清晰想法，可充分利用题目中的三个原因，逐一分析并证明，这样会减少在构思上的用时。若

考生对某一原因有更加深入的见解，或有其他原因，可以选择就一个原因深入论述。

范文参考：

Eating junk food regularly is linked to obesity and chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, but many people still choose junk food sources over their healthy, nutritious whole food counterparts. Junk food is typically cheap, processed and prepackaged, making it easily available, but there are several psychological motivators that predispose people to choosing it as a meal or snack.

Choosing Convenience

Busy schedules often diminish the amount of time people have to prepare healthy, nutritious meals, so they opt for faster, easier options. Whole foods such as vegetables and meat take time and kitchen equipment to cook properly, while fast food hamburgers are usually served within minutes of ordering. Over time, that convenience becomes a habit and eventually a perceived necessity to keep up with such a fast-paced society. Disrupting that routine requires an investment of time, and most people prefer to stick with the faster option.

Easing Anxiety

A peripheral result of this fast-paced culture is increased levels of stress and anxiety. Increased stress levels cause the body to expend more energy, stimulating hunger for calorie-dense sustenance and driving people to eat fatty, sugary junk food. High levels of anxiety also cause people to seek out junk food as a means of comfort. When stressed, people look for ways to calm themselves, and junk food’s positive effects on the reward center of the brain make it a comforting go-to choice.

Suffering From Lack of Sleep

There is also evidence to suggest that sleep deprivation motivates people to choose junk foods over healthy foods. When sleep is restricted, the primal reward center of the brain becomes more active while executive functions of the frontal lobes become more suppressed. This effectively diminishes willpower, making people more likely to seek out foods high in fat and sugar, which are logically poor choices that trigger the reward center.

Developing Addiction

People may also choose junk food simply because they have developed a mild physical dependence on it. Studies show that binge eating foods high in sugar or fat results in neurochemical changes in the brain similar to those that develop in drug addiction. According to a study published in “Physiology and Behavior” in October 2011, rats that habitually eat foods high in sugar and fat mentally crave more of those substances and experience withdrawal-like symptoms if they do not get access to it. After developing the habit, people may be neurochemically driven to choose junk food.
