How Men Face the Fat Problem

It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However, women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.

The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30's, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them "tailored."

Still-older man have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often, wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football player, as an example. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out, "Fat, medium or thin？" She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning (before the day's meals take their toll), puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, "Am I getting fatter？" His wife is expected to answer, "You look like you may have lost a few pounds."

And then there are the ex-husbands, a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn't eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think he's fat？

Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Not mentioned

Nowadays more than half of ail Americans eat more than half of their meals away from home.

This new American way of eating has given rise to the rapid development of the fast food industry. The reason is that they are fast, filling, cheap, tasty and attractive to people.

However, many of these fast foods have been attacked by scientists. The main problem with most fast food meals is that they're not nutritionally balanced. Those of chicken or beef usually contain more than enough protein for a person in one meal. They tend to supply you with too much fat and sugar but too little vitamins and iron. Pizza, a well-balanced fast food, however, is especially high in salt content, a factor for developing high blood pressure. And potatoes are a nutritious food, but when fried in fat they also become a high-fat food. Fast food meals also sadly lack of vegetables and fruit. Thus it is good to eat vegetables and fruit at your other meals on the days when you eat fast food.

There are many reasons why Americans like fast food EXCEPT that ______.

A．fast food is very cheap

B．fast food is very delicious

C．only a little of fast food makes you feel full

D．fast food is nutritionally balanced

第10题

Overweight has become a problem people all around the world face, and it does not look lik

e it will be solved in the near future regardless of the various efforts from all walks of life. And for those who have a heavier body than they are supposed to, one advice is given repeatedly: eat less and exercise more. This has long been the suggestion for getting rid of those extra pounds. But now it seems that all the hard work may have been in vain. Scientists say there are ten other reasons why people just keep getting bigger.

Scientists claim that sleeping habits, central heating, medicines and even some pollutants can play a role in weight gain. Lack of sleep could be partly to blame. In recent years, the average night's sleep has dropped from nine hours to just seven. Sleep lack changes levels of the hormones that regulate food intake and body fat and increase hunger and appetite.

If it is too hot or too cold, we burn calories to cool down or heat up. But if the temperature is just right, the calories may be turned into body fat instead.

Those who take medicines to control their blood pressure can often put on more weight. Similarly, studies have shown that going on the Pill can add to a woman's weight. Mother Nature may also be to blame, with our body shape being partly determined by our parents. The overweight are also more likely to be associated with partners of a similar size, and their children are more likely to be overweight.

The scientists from Yale, Cornell and Johns Hopkins published their analysis of these findings last week. Their reasoning goes like this:

1. Sleep--Too little increases appetite.

2. Medicine--Many modern medicines lead to us putting on weight.

3. Mother's age--Older women are more likely to have obese children.

4. Giving up smoking--Nicotine suppresses the appetite.

5. Getting older--Weight tends to increase with age.

What does the author think of the advice "eat less and exercise more"？

A．It may not be a solution for all who face this problem since the reasons for people's getting fat varies.

B．There are various other ways to achieve the goal of weight-loss and this is not the best one.

C．Exercise is something you will never get your returns and your efforts will be in vain.

D．It has been talked about for too long a time that a newer alternative is needed.
