1 / 6 UNIT 4 课时检测（四） Integrated skills Ⅰ.阅读理解 A There it was.A test of will power.I was on a special diet with foods carefully selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value.A piece of cheese cake was not a good choice.So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my disappointment on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym? Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories? The latter seemed like a win­win solution.Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake, but I'd get an exercise session (训练时段)．And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive.I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefully walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a small fork.I put on my exercise outfit (全套服装) and went downstairs. The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan: I would run up and down the stairs and then back up again.My reward: one small bite of cheese cake.If I wanted another, I'd have to run down and up and down and up again.Off I went.Ah, creamy vanilla (香草) goodness without guilt.I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted (冲刺) through another stair climbing run. Admittedly, it was harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over­breathing.I placed a bottle of water next to the cake.Down and up and down and up again.When I struggled over to the cheese cake, my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead.I didn't want the cake any more.I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from cheese cake.I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time. My plan worked.Now, any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favorite, I remembered my stairs trick. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者制订了一个计划，既可以享受自己喜欢的美食，又可以激励自己去锻炼，最终这个计划奏效了。 1．What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 1?
