2014届高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练32（a）fat campfor some, the prison of aerobics (有氧运动), health food and hunger pains is a reality. whenever i bring up that ive been to fat camp, people laugh and say, “are you serious? is it like that movie? tell me more! ” people are usually really curious about fat camp. they wonder what its like there. “is food snuck (偷偷拿) in? is chocolate black market (黑市) material? . . . ” the answer to all of these questions is yes. you are woken at 7 am to trek down the hill, still in your pajamas. you enter the canteen and wait in a seemingly endless line, still starved from an unsatisfying dinner. you finally get foodthen wish you hadnt. but you eat it because otherwise you starve. you eat every little bit of powdered egg, every crumb of soggy (没烤透的) diet toast and tasteless sugarfree jelly. after breakfast you hike back up the hill. the hill is meant to physically, spiritually (精神上地), and emotionally break you. you must climb it three times a day for equally delicious meals. every time, you see someone stop in despair midway up. there is always one who pretends to be hurt in the hope that someone will carry them up. throughout the day you rotate through periods of swimming, three sports, and one or two aerobics classes. its not officially called “fat” camp; its called “fun and fitness camp”. but when i think of fun, i dont think of fitness. however, there were good parts to campparts like the friendships. everyone seemed to bond over starvation (饥饿) and the need for food. it became a game to see how much food you could acquire in one stay. many campers would bring supplies, but they would of course be taken away. my technique was to befriend the counselors. through my connections i received candy, soda and fried chicken. also, as soon as one camper left, they would send other things from home. the struggles of fat camp really do give you an appreciation of life. whether you have realized the value of taste, gained friends, or lost weight, no one will ever forget their experiences at fat camp. fat camp is no jokeits a whole world of drama, hardships and revelations. 1. which of the following is true about the people who have heard that the author has been to fat camp?
