3、ssage 1Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the
4、curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious when theyre in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightne
5、ss.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So whenit S time
6、to repaint, go blue.Dont forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals.

Is your home environment relaxing?Passage 2A well-known study in 1979 found that people who socialize with others live longer than people wh
11、o keep to themselves. A new study shows that socializing online may have health benefits as well.To test the theory, researchers from Harvard, Yale, Northeastern and the University of California at San Diego looked at the Facebook profiles of 12 million people. Then they compared the profiles with t
12、he California Department of Public Health records over a two-year period from 2011 to 2013. The researchers found that people with more friends online were less likely to die than similar people who were not so connected. The researchers published their findings in an article titled Online social in
13、tegration is associated with reduced mortality risk in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.Of all the kinds of Facebook usage, it was getting friend requests rather than sending friend requests that related to reduced mortality. Similarly, posting phot
14、os and being tagged in photos was connected with living longer, but sending messages on Facebook was not. People who were tagged in many photos had the lowest mortality rates in the study.Some diseases had a significant reduction of mortality with Facebook users. Deaths from infections, diabetes, me
15、ntal ilness or dementia, heart disease, strokes, other cardiovascular diseases, liver disease, and homicide were all significantly lower for Facebook users than for non-users. Other causes of death did not show a relation to Facebook usage, including several types of cancer, unintentional injuries,
16、drug overdoses, and suicides.The study did not examine any other social media sites to see if using them lengthened life. Also, two of the researchers worked at Facebook while the study was being conducted. William Hobbes, one of the researchers who was a postdoctoral fellow at Northeastern Universi
17、ty, and co-author of the study, worked at Facebook as a research intern in 2013. He said that Facebook agreed not to interfere with the research, no matter what the result was. But, he added, researchers were pretty confident that we were going to find this result.The researchers were careful to say
18、 that their results showed an associative relationship between using Facebook and living longer, not a causal one. In other words, researchers did not prove that using Facebook makes someone live longer. The study simply showed a connection between a longer life and some activities users do on Faceb
19、ook. The researchers say the findings may be able to help show how online social networks can help improve peopleS health on a global scale.5. How did the researchers draw their conclusion?A. By analyzing causes.B. By doing questionnaire.C. By making comparisons.D. By conducting experiments.6. What
20、can be inferred from the third paragraph?A. Social media makes it easier to make friends.B. Not all Facebook usage is connected with a longer life.C. Posting photos may become very popular in the future.D. Using Facebook frequently makes ones life last longer.7. What is the purpose of the passage?A.
21、 To report the results of a study.B. To stress the importance of social media.C. To show the healthy way of using Facebook.D. To explain why online interaction has healthy benefits.Passage 3Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, reports the Daily Mail, claiming that skipping it increases y
22、our chances of a heart attack.The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Circulation, was carried out by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. It was funded by the US National Institutes of Health and the Canadian Instit
23、utes of Health Research.This study followed 26.902 male American dentists, vets, pharmacists, optometrists, osteopaths and podiatrists aged between 45 and 82 years old for 16 years. To be fit for the study, the men could not have a history of cancer, coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke.Th
24、e population being studied was also extremely limnited一professional men who were almost white. More research in women and other groups is needed for us to learn more about breakfast and heart health.After tracking a large group of middle-aged and older male American health professionals, studying th
25、eir eating habits and their risk of developing coronary heart disease for 16 years, it found that men who reported skipping breakfast had a 27% higher risk of coronary heart disease than men who ate breakfast.Men who regularly were addicted to a midnight snack were found to have a 55% higher risk of
26、 coronary heart disease than men who didn t. However, no association was seen between eating frequency (number of meals per day) and the risk of coronary heart disease. This could suggest that it is the timing of meals rather than the frequency that has a bigger influence on heart health.But because
27、 of the design of this study, a direct cause and effect relationship between breakfast and health cannot be proved. While the researchers attempted to take certain lifestyle factors into account, it could be the case that people who take time to have a regular breakfast also tend to have healthier l
28、ifestyles.8. What is the passage mainly discussing?A. Heart disease risk is higher in men who skip breakfast.B. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.C. Many professionals took part in the research.D. Some people have a preferene for midnight snacks.9. If you wnat to be a participant, _. A
