AYour 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 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 places-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 m eals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yell ow make tood 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 mak e 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 mor e when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller o ne ,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.1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. healthy dietsC. house buyingD. their body shape2.A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. regain their appetitesB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD. digest food better3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Eat quickly.e smaller spoons.C.Play fast music.D.Turn down the lights.4.What can be a suitable title for the test?A.

Turning Trash to TreasureCEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart dis ease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you brea the.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposu re. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Age ncy (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hour s of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certain ly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is im portant to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyl e choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air qualit y but could also become necessary to protect public health.9.The text mainly discusses the relationship between .A. heart problems and exercisingB. heart problems and fatty foodC. heart problems and smokingD. heart problems and air quality10.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. extremely highB. relatively lowC. extremely lowD. relatively high11.
