How to Eat slowly to Avoid Overeating
Eating slowly can help you to better understand your real hunger signals and can help you to recognize reasons for faster eating, such as emotions or simply liking the taste of a food. However, eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly.1.
1.Adjust you mind. Do not even attempt to acquire the habit of eating slowly before you're mentally ready. Relax and use your imagination to create mental images that your brain will remember. As part of this mental process, imagine yourself lean and fit.
2.2. Eating slowly isn't just about slowing down the chewing; it also about slowing down your food choices. As you show out the processed food, replace it with healthy, unprocessed or much less processed choices.
3. Always relax before you start eating. Take a few deep breaths through the nose and not through the mouth. As you do so, hold your breath briefly and exhale(呼气) slowly by the mouth.3.In this way, you start to remove any risk of comfort eating.
4. Drink a glass of water or eat a small bowl of soup before your main dish. This will help you sense of fullness. Be aware that not everyone advocates drinking during a meal though ,as some people believe that this can remove the nutrients from your meal. 4.
5. Spend at least 20 minutes on your meal . 5. Eat your last portion really slowly , if you are still hungry after 20 minutes ,it means you are eating too fast !
A.Put the fork down after putting food in your mouth.
B.Get rid of the stress before you start eating.
C.Rather, it's a habit that you'll need to acquire with practice.
D.However, specialists believe water actually aids in digestion.
E. Remove as many processed foods from your plate or food storage as possible.
F. Have a wall clock in plain view from the table to adjust your eating speed.
G. It is wise to speak to your doctor about this, if it's still the case for you.
How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments -mostly for entertainment purposes - is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats.
Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range.
The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs. The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
1.How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?
A.Dangerous. B.Unhappy.
C.Natural. D.Easy.
2.In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.
A.remain in cages B.behave strangely
C.attack other animals D.enjoy moving around
3.What does the author try to argue in the passage?
A.Zoos are not worth the public support.
B.Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.
C.Zoos should treat animals as human beings.
D.Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.
4.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________.
A.pointing out the faults in what zoos do
B.using evidence he has collected at zoos
C.questioning the way animals are protected
D.discussing the advantages of natural habitats
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time — about eight hours after you wake up — your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps (小憩) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap — even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
1.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A.Because you eat too much for lunch.
B.Because it’s hot in summer.
C.Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
D.Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.
2.What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A.All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B.Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.
C.If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease.
D.Taking naps regularly is good to people’s health.
3.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A.About 12:30 pm. B.About 1:30 pm.
C.About 2:30 pm D.About 3:30 pm
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.All for a Nap B.Just for a Rest
