Section Ⅳ “Developing ideas”的课文习读环节
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Many people who want to lose weight often choose to go on a diet. Shops have noticed this and are filling their shelves with diet products such as diet milkshakes, snack bars and even diet pills. However, such popular diets are often found to be very unhealthy.
Most of these popular diets work by cutting out a certain nutrient (营养物) from your food intake (摄入量). However, by cutting a particular food group out of your diet, your body will be short of a certain nutrient that it needs, which could leave you feeling weak, tired or even bad-tempered. Furthermore, these diets are often unsuccessful in the long run.
Generally, one of the effective ways to lose weight is to cut down on calories (卡路里). The recommended calorie intake for an adult male is 2,500 each day. If a man takes in more than 2,500 calories each day, then he is likely to gain weight. However, if he eats less, then he is likely to lose weight.
More importantly, anyone who is going on a diet should keep a healthy balanced diet containing foods from all food groups. Nutrients such as proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals all play an important role in staying healthy, which is why they all should be included in your meals. Sometimes, you can eat some healthy snacks but don't eat too much. So, next time your friends tell you that they are going on a diet, let them know that eating a healthy balanced diet is a better choice.

There is much debate nowadays as to what makes up a healthy diet. For example, scientists have thought for years that a big enemy of health is fatty food. However, there is increasing evidence (证据) that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar. In America, people who receive 25% of their daily calories or more through sugar are twice as likely to die from heart disease than people who receive less than 10% a day. The American Heart Association recommends that we limit ourselves to less than 100-150 calories a day from sugar, which is less than what is usually contained in one can of sweet drink or in a single candy bar.
Finally, a fundamental key to healthy eating is to eat slowly. It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell your body that you are full. What this means is that people who chew too quickly end up eating too much food because they still feel hungry. Eating slowly also allows your body to digest your food better, and will allow you to enjoy your food more. In addition, studies show that consistent eating habits, for example, taking three meals a day at the same time each day, are better for our health. It is also better to eat a modest (适中的) amount of food each time, rather than to eat a lot in one meal, and then a little in the next.
There is no trick to healthy eating. Rather, healthy eating starts with having a healthy attitude towards food. One_question_you_can_ask_yourself_is,_“Do_I_eat_to_live,_or_live_to_eat?” If you are using food mostly for nutrition, then you are on the right track with your diet. However, if food has become the centre of your life, you might be on the road to bad health. It is up to you to decide how you want to live, and to make the right decisions about your diet.

The Power of Mindful Eating
In our fast-paced world, many people eat quickly without paying attention to their food.__9__ Mindful eating, a practice based on mindfulness, encourages us to slow down and engage fully with the experience of eating. Research shows this approach not only improves digestion but also helps maintain a healthy weight.
Understand your hunger signs.
Before reaching for snacks, ask yourself: Am I truly hungry, or just bored? __10__ For example, emotional hunger comes suddenly and has a strong longing for particular foods, while physical hunger develops gradually and is open to various options. Learning to distinguish these signals can prevent overeating.
Create a distraction-free environment.
__11__ These devices prevent us from noticing what we consume. Studies indicate that people who eat while distracted consume 10% more calories on average. By focusing on your meal, you'll notice flavors and textures better, leading to greater satisfaction.
__12__
Aim for 20-30 chews per bite. This simple act allows your brain to register fullness signals, which take about 20 minutes to activate. Slowing down also reduces stress and improves digestion. To practice, try putting your fork down between bites or using chopsticks if you normally use a spoon.
Appreciate your food's journey.
Consider the effort behind each ingredient — farmers growing vegetables, bakers making bread.__13__ This thankful thinking enhances mealtime enjoyment and reduces mindless consumption.
Mindful eating isn't about strict diets but developing a healthier relationship with food. Start with one meal daily, and gradually you'll experience improved well-being both physically and mentally.
A.Chew thoroughly and eat slowly.
B.Different hunger types require different responses.
C.This habit often leads to overeating and poor nutrition.
D.Thinking about this helps you feel closer to your food.
E.Eat in a rush and don't worry about the number of chews.
F.We'd better turn off TVs and put away phones during meals.
G.Physical activities before meals can increase your appetite.

12.选A 该空是段落小标题,根据下文“Aim for 20-30 chews per bite. This simple ...improves digestion.”主要讲述了要充分咀嚼和慢慢进食。A项“Chew thoroughly and eat slowly.”能够概括该段内容,适合作本段小标题。
13.选D 该段主题是“Appreciate your food's journey.”,结合上文“Consider the effort behind each ingredient — farmers growing vegetables, bakers making bread.”讲述了食物的来源和背后的努力。D项“Thinking about this helps you feel closer to your food.”符合语境,“Thinking about this”指代上文对食物来源的思考。
