limit.”可知，“我”在锻炼以后感觉自己很成功，有成就感。故D项正确。13C推理判断题。根据第二段中“Some shake heads when they see me run through the town.Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake.They raise their eyebrows，surprised by my no，thank you， or by my choice to have salad.”可知，人们对“我”的锻炼行为不理解。故C正确。14B词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段中“So what drives me to get out of bed at 5：00 am？What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream？Commitment.”可知，该词指“坚定的信念”。正是“我”坚定的信念使“我”坚持锻炼。故B项正确。15C细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily worry，increases selfconfidence and energy，extends(延长)life and above all improves my body shape.”中的body shape可知，作者锻炼的最终目标是改善体形，故C项正确。.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain
