Question

    I always had the best intentions of packing my lunch, but putting this healthy habit into practice was a different story. I was always jealous when I would see my co­workers with their cute food containers full of fresh ingredients(食材). Occasionally, I would be inspired to have a productive Sunday afternoon when I would cook my favorite food, but once Wednesday passed, I would be back on the street, trying to figure out what sounded good to eat.

However, to form the habit of packing my lunch is not an easy thing. At first, the idea of packing my lunch felt like a sacrifice, but since I started bringing healthy food to work, I have not given it up. I'm able to bring foods that are rich in fiber and protein, and I avoid ingredients that make my blood sugar rise sharply. This was the big kicker for me to keep this healthy habit for good.

Portion(份量) control has always been a big issue for me. If there is food on my plate, I'm going to eat it. By packing my own lunch, I'm easily able to manage portions and know my ingredient choices. Eating a cleaner and lighter lunch not only supports my general weight ­loss goals, but it also makes space for the occasional weeknight dinner out that I can enjoy freely.

When developing my budget for 2017, I made a point to get real about the large expenses I did not even realize. Until I looked at my credit card statement, I had no idea how much money I was spending on my lunch every week. It's hard in the big city to find something that's fresh, nutritious, and filling for under $10.That's $50 a week I could be saving…Quite a sum of money, isn't it?

1.What can we know from the first paragraph?

A.Saying is one thing, and doing another.

B.Failure is the mother of success.

【解析】

本文为记叙文。作者作出了很大的努力养成自带午饭的习惯，有效地保证了食材的安全并能控制自己的食量，而且节省开支，让自己吃得更卫生、健康。

1.推理判断题。根据第一段第一句I always had the best intentions of packing my lunch, but putting this healthy habit into practice was a different story.“我总是很想打包午餐，但是把这个健康的习惯付诸实践是另一回事。”可以推断出，说是一件事情，做又是一件事情，故选A项。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段第一、二句However, to form the habit of packing my lunch is not an easy thing. At first, the idea of packing my lunch felt like a sacrifice, but since I started bringing healthy food to work, I have not given it up.然而，养成打包午餐的习惯并不是一件容易的事情。一开始，打包午餐的想法让我觉得是一种牺牲，但自从我开始把健康食品带到工作中，我就没有放弃过。可以推断出，作者是一个有决心的人，故选B项。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Eating a cleaner and lighter lunch not only supports my general weight ­loss goals, but it also makes space for the occasional weeknight dinner out that I can enjoy freely.“吃一顿干净、清淡的午餐不仅能支持我的总体减肥目标，还能腾出空间偶尔出去吃顿晚餐，让我自由享受。”可知，作者工作时自带午餐，可以吃得更卫生、健康，故选C项。

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段When developing my budget for 2017, I made a point to get real about the large expenses I did not even realize. Until I looked at my credit card statement, I had no idea how much money I was spending on my lunch every week.“在制定2017年的预算时，我特别关注那些我甚至没有意识到的巨额支出。直到我看了我的信用卡帐单，我才知道我每个星期花了多少钱在午餐上。”可以推断出，作者没有自己带午饭的时候花销巨大，带午饭帮她节省了生活开支，故选A项。
