I often wanted to look like as the slim girls on TV even though I knew it was impossible. To lose weight, I tried no-fat, low-fat, only bananas — I almost went madly.

Then I read an article what said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I didn’t know a letter could make such difference! Once I started thinking about fit rather than weight, things began to change. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I adds healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.

Finally, I stopped compare myself with actresses and models. Instead, I made a list of the thing I liked about myself. By being positive about me and my body, I became both happier or healthier.

Answer

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因从“我胖吗”到“我健康吗”心态的转变，最后变得越来越健康和幸福。

1.考查固定短语。look like 译为“看起来像…”，是固定短语。故将as多余，应去掉。

2.考查固定短语。went mad译为“发疯，失去理智”，是固定短语。同时go是系动词后面接形容词。故将madly改为mad。

3.考查定语从句。分析句子“Then I read an article what said instead of asking “Am I fat?”可知，此处的从句是定语从句。因为先行词是名词。而what只能引导名词性从句不引导定语从句。定从缺宾语且先行词为物。故将what改为which / that。

4.考查固定短语。make a difference 译为“有影响，起作用”，是固定短语。故要在such和difference 之间加a。

5.考查名词。thinking about 后的fit（健康的）是形容词。但是about是介词后面接名词作宾语。故将fit改为fitness。

6.考查过去时。通读文章可知，文章的整体时态是过去式。故将adds改为added。

7.考查固定短语。stop doing sth. 译为“停止做某事”，是固定短语。故将compare改为comparing。

8.考查名词的数。thing译为“东西，事情”时，是可数名词，要体现单复数。此处前有a list of 修饰，因此要表示复数。故将thing 改为things。

9.考查代词。分析句子By being positive about myself and my body可知，此处的逻辑不对。应译为“对自己和自己的身体保持积极的态度”。故将me改为myself。

10.考查连词。分析句子I became both happier or healthier可知，此处的逻辑不对。happier和healthier两者之间要表示并列。故将or改为and。
