(yes, fats are important, too.) fortunately for you, a well-balanced diet is all that is needed to safely and effectively lose or maintain weight, depending upon your goals.by educating yourself and having the willpower and commitment to make the proper food choices, youll be well on your way toward achieving your weight-loss goals. after all, in order for a diet to be really successful, it cannot be just a diet. you must develop and conform to(遵守) a lifestyle that revolves around smart food decisions. this doesnt mean that you can never enjoy certain things that you crave(渴望), at least from time to time. we can all enjoy such things, but moderation is the key. a weeks worth of smart choices deserves a meal out at your favorite restaurant. it also gives you something to look forward to and enjoy when you are saying no to those office donuts all week long.dont get me wrong. it isnt always going to be easy. but rarely does anything worth having come easily. liking what you see in the mirror, and being fit and healthy are definitely worth working hard for. anyone can achieve such goals. to break out the old nike phrase just do it.1. the first paragraph mainly tells us _.a. therere many kinds of diet plans or programs with different effectsb. why so many diet plans can not help people to control weightc. the diet plans do not work and can only benefit the companiesd. people cant stick to the diet plans because they are dull2. if you want to control weight safely and effectively, what you do not need is _.a. the diet plans from the big company b. a well-balanced diet c. the willpower and determinationd. a lifestyle considering smart food choices3. whats the correct understanding of the underlined sentence?a. once you have a big meal in the restaurant, your weeks effort will be in vain.b. if you can make smart food choices for a week, you can treat yourself to a favourite meal out.c. a weeks smart food choices itself, not a meal out, is a big reward for you.d. a weeks proper food at home is as attractive as a delicious meal outside.4. whats the correct attitude towards the food you like?a. have some whenever you like. b. eat much after a diet of a long time.c. enjoy it once in a while but never too much.d. never have it before you successfully lose weight.5. the last paragraph is meant to _ a. conclude whats the best way to control weight b. emphasize the reasons why people should diet c. predict the results of taking well-balanced foodd. encourage people to take action in spite of difficulties参考的 1-5 c a b c d【甘肃省张掖中学2013模拟】dwhile many modern forms of communication like phone calls, e-mail, and letters, are extremely convenient. in my opinion, nothing beats speaking to another person face to face.the first and most obvious advantage that a face communication has over a letter and e-mail is that there is the ability to interactively(相互作用地)converse. if the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly, then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding. in a face-to-face conversation, misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the interactive nature of it.i would still argue that the face-to-face conversation is better because you can see the other person. not all communication is verbal(口头的); the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and the tone of voice. joking and irony are particularly difficult to express and enjoy without seeing the expression on someones face, or watching the movements of their body.finally, if the goal of communication is to maintain or deepen the relationship(关系)with someone, the face-to-face communication offers the choice of communication by touch even if we could communicate by the video. trust and respect between business partners can be established with a firm handshake. no amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high five between friends, and no number of words can communicate the comforting embrace of a loved one. touch is the first basic method of our human relationships, before spoken language, and it is only available when people communicate face to face.54. which of the following is the best title for the passage? a. how to communicate more effectively(有效率地)b. the importance of using body language in communicationc. face-to-face communication, the best way of communicatingd. comparison(比较)of different communication forms 55. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. a letter or e-mail is always written unclearly.b. business partners can show trust through a firm handshake.c. during a conversation, body language is also important.d. the face-to-face conversation is a way of communication.56. which of the following can communicate the feeling a loved one perfectly?a. letter b. e-mail c. phone d. face to face communication57. the authors attitude towards forms of communication is .a. modern forms of communication like phone calls and e-mail are extremely convenient.b. traditional ways of communication are out of date and should fall into disuse.c. face-to-face communication can only be used among strangers.d.face-to-face communication has advantages over the other ways of communication. 【参考答案】54-57 cadd 专项训练a have you ever had a great idea about how to clean up a park or start a recycling program?
