5 . Mindful weight loss is an approach to losing weight that emphasis being aware of your physical and emotional state about food choices. Research shows that mindful eating can help people reach their target weight more effectively and sustainably than dieting alone. It involves developing a deeper understanding of hunger, cravings (渴望) and emotions related to food, as well as learning to better listen to the body’s need.     1    

The practice of mindful eating starts with paying attention to what you are feeling rather than focusing on restricting calones or avoiding certain foods together. You may be asked questions such as “How hungry am I” or “What am I really craving?” that help you focus on what your body is telling you.     2     This helps you better enjoy your food and stay satisfied longer.

A key component of mindful weight loss is researching healthy foods, understanding portions, and learning about nutrition labels.     3     Keeping track of meals and snacks through journaling for a few weeks can be helpful in getting an idea of what foods are triggering cravings or leading to overeating.

    4     Such feelings can be guilt, stress, boredom or loneliness. Being mindful of emotions can help identify triggers for eating and help create healthier habits.

Mindfulness helps to stay strong in the face of cravings and urges by recognizing them as a part of the weight loss journey and staying focused on reaching goals. Practicing regular mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing, yoga or mediation will also help build weight loss over time.     5     With consistent effort, mindful weight loss can lead to improved physical health, mental wellness and overall balance in life.

A．The practice of mindful eating promotes overall health.

B．Becoming aware of mindful weight can help you get there.

C．Therefore, you can make informed decisions about what to eat.

D．Mindful weight loss also includes being aware of emotions related to food.

E．With this knowledge, you can change lifestyle for long-term weight loss success.

F．Mindful weight is a journey towards health, not just a focus on a specific weight.

G．You can also practice mindful eating by experiencing taste, texture, and emotions.

7 . Obesity (过度肥胖) may damage the brain’s ability to recognize the sensation of fullness and be satisfied after eating fats and sugars, a new study found.

Further, those brain changes may last even after people considered medically obese lose a significant amount of weight — possibly explaining why many people often regain the pounds they lose.

The study, published Monday in Nature Metabolism, was a controlled clinical trial in which 30 people considered to be medically obese and 30 people of normal weight were fed sugar carbohydrates (glucose), fats (lipids) or water (as a control). Each group of nutrients were fed directly into the stomach via a feeding tube on separate days.

The night before the testing, all 60 study participants had the same meal for dinner at home and did not eat again until the feeding tube was in place the next morning. As either sugars or fats entered the stomach via the tube, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像) and single-photon emission computed tomography (单光子发射计算机断层扫描技术) to capture the brain’s response over 30 minutes.

In people with normal weight, the study found brain signals in the striatum (纹状体) slowed when either sugars or fats were put into the digestive system — evidence that the brain recognized the body had been fed. At the same time, levels of dopamine (多巴胺) rose in those at normal weight, signaling that the reward centers of the brain were also activated.

However, when the same nutrients were given via feeding tube to people considered medically obese, brain activity did not slow, and dopamine levels did not rise.

Next, the study asked people with obesity to lose 10% of their body weight within three months — an amount of weight known to improve blood sugars, reset metabolism and boost overall health.

Tests were repeated as before — with surprising results. Losing weight did not reset the brain in people with obesity.

Much more research is needed to fully understand what obesity does to the brain, and if that is triggered by the fat tissue itself, the types of food eaten, or other environmental and genetic factors.

1. What aspects did the researchers focus on in the study?

A．Blood sugars and metabolism.

B．Brain activities and dopamine levels.

C．Nutrients and the digestive system.

D．Food types and environmental factors.

2. What can we know about the study?

A．The results were the same to people with different weights.

B．Brain signals slowed when nutrients were fed to overweight people.

C．Losing weight helped reactivate brain signals in overweight people.

D．Dopamine levels increased when nutrients were fed to people at normal weight.

3. What is the author’s attitude towards the research result?

A．Positive.

B．Neutral.

C．Unfavorable.

D．Uncertain.

4. Where is this text probably taken from?

A．A science journal.	B．A sports newspaper.
C．A tour guidebook.	D．An entertainment magazine.

8 . A new study has finally solved the problem of whether to eat breakfast before you exercise.

Researchers at the universities of Bath, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Stirling analysed the energy consumption of 12 healthy physically active men between the ages of 20 and 26. Each of the men completed three different trials: eating a breakfast of rice and milk and then resting (no exercise), eating the same breakfast two hours before cycling for 60 minutes, and finally not eating breakfast completely before doing the same 60 minutes of exercise. The study showed that fasted exercise (禁食运动) is the best for weight loss.

“These results suggest that for healthy young men a short-term energy lack may be more easily got if breakfast is worked off before exercise,” the study’s authors concluded. Here’s how it works: when you work out on an empty stomach, your body doesn’t have ready energy from food so it draws from other sources, like stored body fat, which makes your exercise more effective at burning fat—and helping you lose weight.

Additionally, exercising in a fasted state keeps your insulin (胰岛素) levels low, allowing your body to produce more growth insulin which also burns fat. “When insulin is rising—as is the case after you eat—your body will be in a state of wanting to store fat, not burn it,” Phoenyx Austin, MD, a sports medicine specialist, explained to MindBodyGreen. “It doesn’t matter if you exercise like a mad man after a meal. You won’t be able to burn body fat until insulin levels drop, which can typically take two or three hours, if not longer.”

But if you prefer eating breakfast before you exercise, don’t worry—there are benefits to be there, too. For instance, the researchers found that the men who ate breakfast first burned more carbohydrates(碳水化合物) while they worked out and sped up their metabolism(新陈代谢) for later on in the day.

1. What can we know about the 12 researched people?

9 . Like many children, Heather studied hard, did her homework and played sports after school. During her elementary school years, she was thin, but things changed as she grew up.

“My bad eating habits began during my kid years,” says Healther Daivs. “In middle school, I played sports, but with a diet of hamburgers and soda for lunch…big family dinners…I became overweight.” During her senior year in high school, Heather Davis, who is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighed 200 pounds. “We had a meat-and-potatoes family. We had dessert every night and I was a member of the ‘clean your plate club’. I tried my best to stop gaining weight, but it seemed impossible.” remembers Healther Daivs. “It caught up with me.” By the time she was 21 and attended college, Heather Davis’ weight had increased to 250 pounds. Heather Davis says it was caused by emotional eating, a junk-food diet and lack of exercise.

The realization that failed diet led to the physical(身体的)cost of obesity(肥胖)made her decide to lose weight by taking exercise. She did gym exercise for two weeks and began changing her diet by cutting out potato chips, ice cream and pizza. Within the first two weeks, she had lost 18 pounds. Heather Davis remained determined, and over the next 12 months, with the support of her family and regular training with a gym trainer, she lost 110 pounds.

“My days of treating my body badly are over,” say Heather Davis. “I focus on things I enjoy such as language classes and beach vacations.” She says even though she’s lost 110 pounds, she’s still the same person-outgoing, and more importantly-happy. She’s also become a good example for those who also want to lose weight. “If I can do it, anybody can do it,” says Heather Davis.

10 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填A．1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A new research,which     1     (publish) in the journal PLOS Generics, has found that people’s genes are key to    2     (help) them stay slim. Conducted by     3     (scholar) from Cambridge University, the study has found that thin people have DNA     4     contains fewer variants linked to being overweight. There are genes     5     (associate) with thinness and they play at least 40percent of a role     6     people’s weight. This might help explain why some people are naturally skinny while others have big problems with keeping their weight down and seem to pile on the pounds so easily.

According to the researchers, they     7     (undertake) the study last year to find out why so many people struggle with their weight and they wanted to help them. They added, “it is easy to rush to     8     (judge) and criticize people for their weight，but actually things are far more complex. Healthy and thin people are generally thin not because they are     9     (moral) superior,    10     because they have a lower burden of genes that increase a person’s chances of being overweight.”
