     阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
     注意：每个空格只填一个单词。     One reason Americans eat so many calories is that we tend to eat large portions (分量). Studies find
that hamburgers and fries are generally offered in serving sizes two to five times larger than the appropriate meal size. Researchers find we usually clean our plates no matter how high they"re piled, even if we already
feel satisfied. See the suggestions below to further master the fine art of sizing up 估量) your snacks and
suppers.
     Extremely large portions are one possible reason Americans continue getting fatter even as the
percentage of our total calories from fat has gone down in recent years. Fortunately, portions are relatively
simple to control because it"s easier to count cookies than calories or grams of fat.
Pre-picture portions. Use familiar objects to picture how much you should eat of a food before you pick
up your fork or spoon. For example, a half cup of low-fat granola is about the size of your fist. A half cup
of low-fat ice cream equals half an orange.
      Use a smaller dish. This tip might sound ridiculous, but it works. First and mostobvious is that you
can"t put as much food on, say, a salad plate. But psychologically, you"re just not as prone to eat as
heartily and quickly if your plate will be empty in 45 seconds.
     Have raw vegetables at every meal. Raw cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and peppers have few
calories and lots of nutrients. A plate of them in the middle of the table almost always gets eaten up,
cutting down appetite for the more calorie-dense meat.
   Start your meal with soup. Studies show that a bowl of soup at the start of the meal reduces overall
meal consumption, since they are lowest in calories and highest in nutrients.  
     Manage your fork. After every bite of food, put your fork down. Don"t pick it up until you have
thoroughly chewed and swallowed the previous bite. The goal is both to slow down your eating and to
eat less. Remember: Your body needs 20 minutes of digestion before it sends signals to your brain that
you are no longer hungry.

When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives.    2  They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.      (2)Don"t take it out on yourself.

After you"re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it"s time to get down to business.  4  Even if you can"t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.      (4)Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren"t magic, but they do work.

On April 24th , another natural disaster - the oil spill(泄露)in the Gulf of Mexico , happened . Millions of dollars have been used to help stop the spill and to clean up the animals , beaches , and land spoiled by the oil . Unfortunately , when many of these chemicals are used , more damage is caused to the environment , especially to lives in the sea .      But governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage .  Interestingly , the biggest companies in the world produce cars , and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run .      Of all of today"s environmental disasters , an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious . Although oil is poisonous , it is a natural material . In the end , it breaks down naturally . In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean . If you go there today , you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened .      However , we should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil . Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies , such as cars run by solar power, electricity , hydrogen , and so on . Much of this research , in the past , was stopped by the oil , gas , and coal . If the world"s millions of cars were 10% more efficient(高效的), we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year . If this happened , the risks of oil spills would be reduced , and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher , too .

Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road ----- Reported by Sheila Carrick      Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.      Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.      Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road kill.      "Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.      But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage.      Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.      The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!

A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road   B. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages     C. animals are crossing the road in groups         D. animals are increasing in number

Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance. Yoga (瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation(救星) and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga-you love it.      Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. "Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone," says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. "Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新 陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells." I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses.      Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist"s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time "fighting" yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you "surrender" to the pose by letting go of the tension.      Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches "right" living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don"t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.
1. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. What Yoga is         B. How I Do Yoga Poses   C. The Benefits of Yoga   D. The Varieties of Yoga
2. People feel tired after yoga because ________.
A. they consume energy in practicing yoga B. they respond well to yoga poses C. they spend too much time on yoga D. they push themselves to do yoga poses
3. If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph?

If you are a male and you are reading this,congratulations:you are a survivor.  According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS.      There are many reasons for this. Typically,men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly,men don"t go to the doctor.      Gullotta,a professor from a famous medical university,says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two.For those over 45 ,it should be at least once a year.      Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker"s cough for a year.         According to a recent survey,95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group.        " A lot of men think they are absolutely strong," Gullotta says. They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think," Geez,if it could happen to him,________. "          Then there is the ostrich approach, " Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, " says Dr. Ross Cartmill.         " Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Cartmill says.  He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.  Cartmill says " regular check-ups for men would surely place stress on the public purse,but prevention is cheaper in the long run than having treat the diseases. " Besides,the ultimate cost is far greater:it is called premature death.
