2014高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项 50-28a1. myth: skipping meals (不吃饭) helps you lose weight fast.truth: theres no truth in this advice.not only will you not lost weight by starving yourself, but according to carol ann rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. this only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.2. myth: if you swallow (吞下) gum (口香糖)，it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.truth: actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit-not seven years, says nei izenberg, m. d., editor of kids health organization. but because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested (消化) in your stomach- so if you gum up the works on a regular (经常的) basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation. 3. myth: the best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.truth: now thats bad advice. bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels (血管), so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it wont stop the bleeding; youll just end up swallowing lots of blood. your best bet? “rest quietly. dont poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结) within a minute or two”. suggests dr. izenberg.4. myth: cutting your hair will make it grow long faster.truth: thats not true. “your hair isnt like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate (刺激) fresh growth,” says phillip kingsley. the length of your hair is genetically ( 遗传地) determined.when it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. when you clear up the dead split ends, this make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.1. according to carol ann rinzler, skipping meals will _. a. help you lose weight fast b. help you lose weight slowly c. cause you to become fatter d. make you burning food more quickly答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节题。由第一部分 “not only will you not lost weight by starving yourself, but according to carol ann rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight.”可知，carol ann rinzler认为不吃饭不仅不会减肥，反而会增肥，故答案为c。2. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
