We have all heard the saying."You are what you eat." But how many of us are willing to admit that the expression applies to us as well as to all those unidentified people out there?Current research suggests that the majority of Americans have bad eating habits,and some of this is determined by our lifestyle,which demands that we eat quickly and inexpensively.
What are the commonest foods on the American menu? Hamburgers and French fries,sugar-laden drinks;pies andwhipped cream,malts and ice-cream. Apart from an occasional broiled hamburger,all the things on that list are bad for us.And there are certain prophets of doom who predict that all those fatladen fast foods provide us with only one thing-a faster road to the grave.
On the other hand, there are those who claim that the basic fast-food meal contains all the nourishment you need. After all, there are meat. milk, salad (if you have the extras), and bread. And if you have a cheeseburger instead of a hamburger, you are doing yourself an extra favor by adding additional protein.What these good news gossips are overlooking is the usually pulpy bun; the excess of sugar in the maltose or Coke;and overdose of salt that is sprinkled on the hamburger to make palatable (美味的).
So you decide to stay away from the hamburger joint, and buy your food from the supermarket. Are you any better off? Not if you buy frozen or canned food. The experts tell us that canned and frozen vegetables contain sugar, as well as all sorts of perspectives that are not doing anything to improve your health. According to these people. the only way to be sure your food is good for you is to buy it and cook it fresh. And then. of course. you have to eat it-and that creates another problem. The speed of today's world has encouraged many of us to eat far too fast. We do not chew our food enough, and we eat on the run or we jump and start running the minutc we finish eating.

答案:
1.[lifestyle]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中的current research,bad eating habits和determined查找到第1段最后一句。
解析:題干將原文該句that后兩個并列分句合并成一個句子,原文by后的lifestyle即本題答案。
2.[The prophets of doom.]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中的fal-laden fast foods查找到第2段最后一句。
解析:probably thinks對應原文的predict,fatal是原文a faster road to the grave的同義表達,題干問的是持某類觀點的人,因此答案為The prophets of doom。
3.[protein]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中的hamburger和cheeseburger查找到第3段第3句。
解析:題干中的provides... with more對應原文的adding additional,即用夾干酪的漢堡包代替普通的漢堡包可以吸收到更多的某種物質,空白處需要名詞(詞組),所以要填入的答案為protein。
4.[Buy it and cook it fresh.]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中的better off查找到原文第4段的設問句和其后的內容。
解析:原文就better off自問自答,先指出冷凍和罐裝食品對健康無益,然后指出保證食品對健康有益的做法是自己現(xiàn)買現(xiàn)做,即Buy it and cook it fresh。
5.[eat far too fast]
[定位]根據(jù)題干中的we eat on the run查找到末段最后兩句。
解析:原文通過we eat on the run和we jump and start running the minute we finish eating,對前一個句子做進一步解釋說明——當代社會的快節(jié)奏使得我們吃得太快,也就是說我們被迫使eat far too fast。
