HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
[1]As teenagers grow up, they become more independent① and start making their own decisions②.However, during this period, [2]it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits. These bad habits, [3]if left unchecked③, could lead to④ more serious ones when they become adults.For example, some of them may become involved⑤ in tobacco⑥ or alcohol⑦ abuse⑧,[4]which can lead to physical⑨ and mental health problems.[5]To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating⑩ a teenager’s life is essential .They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate changes .
[1]As teenagers grow up是时间状语从句;they become ...decisions是主句;making their own decisions是动词-ing短语作动词start的宾语。
[2]it是形式主语;for some of them to form bad habits是动词不定式复合结构,作真正的主语。

[5]To prevent ... life是动词不定式短语作主语,本句相当于It is essential to prevent ...life。
[6]To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts .There is a famous saying [7]based on the philosophy of Aristotle:“We are [8]what we repeatedly do.” In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices [9]we have made.We make a choice [10]to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again .Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit [11]that is much harder to change.[12]The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work.
[6]动词不定式短语作主语。
[7]过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰a famous saying。
[8]what 引导表语从句,在从句中作do的宾语。
[9]we have made是省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句,修饰先行词choices。
[10]动词不定式短语作后置定语,修饰名词choice。
[11]that 引导定语从句,修饰先行词a habit。
[12]that引导表语从句;if引导条件状语从句;how habits work是宾语从句。
According to modern psychology , we must first learn about the “habit cycle ”, [13]which works like this:
·Firstly, [14]there is a “cue ”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something.
·Secondly, [15]there is a “routine ”, the regular action you take in response to the cue.
·Thirdly, [16]there is the “reward ”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), [17]which makes us feel happy (reward).[18]The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.

Aside from [23]changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle [24]to create good habits.For example, when we come to an escalator (cue), our normal routine is [25]to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
[19]动词不定式短语To facilitate ...habits作目的状语,must examine和(must) try是并列谓语,to adapt them是动词不定式短语作try的宾语。

Many of us try [26]to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away , we often become pessimistic and give up .In fact, the most successful way [27]to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time.[28]As the Chinese philosopher Laozi wrote,“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” One step seems small, but it is essential.[29]To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps.After all , [30]it is not easy to break bad habits.

[28]As引导定语从句,指代后面主句的内容。
[29]动词不定式短语作目的状语。

For young people, there is plenty of time [31]to change bad habits.However, there is no “magic pill ” or delete button [32]that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes.You have the power [33]to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!

健康的生活方式需养成的习惯 在成长过程中,青少年会变得越来越独立,并且开始自己做决定。然而,在这一时期,他们中的一部分人容易养成不良习惯。如果任其发展,在他们长大成人后,这些不良习惯可能会导致更为严重的有害习惯。例如,有些青少年会沉溺于烟酒不能自拔,造成生理和心理健康问题。防止此类有害习惯主宰青少年的生活是至关重要的。他们必须学会早早认清不良习惯并作出适当的改变。 改变不良习惯从来都不是一件容易的事情,即使你三番五次地尝试。有一条基于亚里士多德哲学思想的著名谚语说道:“重复的行为造就了我们。”从很多方面看,我们的生活方式是我们所作出的选择的总和。我们选择做某件事,接着我们反反复复地做这件事。不久之后,这项选择就变得自然而然,成为一种更加难以改变的习惯。好消息是,如果我们了解习惯是怎么运作的,我们就可以作出改变。 根据现代心理学,我们必须首先了解“习惯循环”,其工作原理如下: ·第一是“触发因素”,即一个行动、事件或状况,充当要做某事的讯号。 ·第二是“惯常行为”,即你响应触发因素而采取的常规行动。 ·第三是“回报”,即我们从惯常行为中获得的美好事物或感受。 例如,当我们感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们会吃很多不健康零食(惯常行为),这让我们感到快乐(回报)。这一回报使我们更有可能继续这一循环,从而形成了依赖不健康零食这一不良习惯。 想要促使不良习惯朝着积极的方向转化,我们必须首先审视自己的坏习惯循环,然后尽力去调整。为了做到这一点,我们可以把来自我们不良习惯循环的信息与我们自己的积极想法结合起来。例如,我们可以试着将一个消极的惯常行为替换为一个更积极的东西。因此,当我们再次感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们可以听几首自己最喜爱的音乐(惯常行为),而不是吃零食,这会使我们感到放松(回报)。除了改变不良习惯之外,我们还可以利用习惯循环来养成良好的习惯。例如,当我们走到电梯前的时候(触发因素),我们的惯常行为是乘坐电梯,但是我们可以改为走楼梯,从而将上述惯常行为改变为一个更积极的事情。 我们中很多人试图迅速改变不良习惯,一旦没有立刻成功,我们往往变得悲观,继而放弃。事实上,改变不良习惯的最佳方法不是一蹴而就,而是需要一段时间。正如中国哲学家老子所说:“千里之行,始于足下。”一步似乎很小,却至关重要。为了实现改变这一目标,一个人必须展示出一定程度的自制力,不断地迈出许多小步。毕竟,戒除不良习惯并非易事。 对年轻人来说,有大量的时间可以改变不良习惯。然而,能帮助你的“魔力丸”或删除键并不存在;你必须思考自己的不良习惯,选定一些作出改变。你有能力构建一种充满良好习惯的快乐、健康的生活!

These bad habits, [3]if left unchecked③, could lead to④ more serious ones when they become adults.For example, some of them may become involved⑤ in tobacco⑥ or alcohol⑦ abuse⑧,[4]which can lead to physical⑨ and mental health problems.[5]To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating⑩ a teenager’s life is essential .They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate changes .
[1]As teenagers grow up是时间状语从句;they become ...decisions是主句;making their own decisions是动词-ing短语作动词start的宾语。

[4]which 引导非限制性定语从句,指代整个主句的内容。
[5]To prevent ... life是动词不定式短语作主语,本句相当于It is essential to prevent ...life。
[6]To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts .There is a famous saying [7]based on the philosophy of Aristotle:“We are [8]what we repeatedly do.” In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices [9]we have made.We make a choice [10]to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again .Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit [11]that is much harder to change.[12]The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work.
[6]动词不定式短语作主语。
[7]过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰a famous saying。
[8]what 引导表语从句,在从句中作do的宾语。

[11]that 引导定语从句,修饰先行词a habit。

According to modern psychology , we must first learn about the “habit cycle ”, [13]which works like this:
·Firstly, [14]there is a “cue ”, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something.
·Secondly, [15]there is a “routine ”, the regular action you take in response to the cue.
·Thirdly, [16]there is the “reward ”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), [17]which makes us feel happy (reward).[18]The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
[13]which 引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the “habit cycle”。
[14]there is a “cue”是句子主干;an action ...situation是同位语,对cue的内容进行解释说明;that引导定语从句,修饰前面的同位语。
[15]there is a “routine”是句子主干;the regular action是同位语;you take ...cue是定语从句,修饰先行词action。

[17]which 引导非限制性定语从句;feel happy是省略to的动词不定式短语作宾语补足语。
[18]The reward是主语,makes是谓语,us是宾语,to continue the cycle是动词不定式短语作宾语补足语。
[19]To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them.We can do this by [20]combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas.For example, we could try [21]to replace a negative routine with something more positive.So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead (routine), [22]which will make us feel relaxed (reward). Aside from [23]changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle [24]to create good habits.For example, when we come to an escalator (cue), our normal routine is [25]to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
[19]动词不定式短语To facilitate ...habits作目的状语,must examine和(must) try是并列谓语,to adapt them是动词不定式短语作try的宾语。
[20]动词-ing短语作介词by的宾语。
[21]动词不定式短语作动词try的宾语。
[22]which引导非限制性定语从句,feel relaxed是省略to的动词不定式短语作宾语补足语。
[23]动词-ing短语作介词from的宾语。
[24]动词不定式短语作目的状语。
[25]动词不定式短语作表语。
Many of us try [26]to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away , we often become pessimistic and give up .In fact, the most successful way [27]to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time.[28]As the Chinese philosopher Laozi wrote,“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” One step seems small, but it is essential.[29]To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps.After all , [30]it is not easy to break bad habits.
[26]动词不定式短语作动词try的宾语。
[27]动词不定式作后置定语,修饰名词way。
[28]As引导定语从句,指代后面主句的内容。
[29]动词不定式短语作目的状语。
[30]it是形式主语,to break bad habits是动词不定式短语作真正的主语。
For young people, there is plenty of time [31]to change bad habits.However, there is no “magic pill ” or delete button [32]that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes.You have the power [33]to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!
[31]动词不定式短语作后置定语,修饰名词time。
[32]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词“magic pill” or delete button。
[33]to build a ... habits是动词不定式短语作后置定语,修饰名词power; full of good habits是形容词短语作后置定语,修饰名词life。

健康的生活方式需养成的习惯
在成长过程中,青少年会变得越来越独立,并且开始自己做决定。然而,在这一时期,他们中的一部分人容易养成不良习惯。如果任其发展,在他们长大成人后,这些不良习惯可能会导致更为严重的有害习惯。例如,有些青少年会沉溺于烟酒不能自拔,造成生理和心理健康问题。防止此类有害习惯主宰青少年的生活是至关重要的。他们必须学会早早认清不良习惯并作出适当的改变。
改变不良习惯从来都不是一件容易的事情,即使你三番五次地尝试。有一条基于亚里士多德哲学思想的著名谚语说道:“重复的行为造就了我们。”从很多方面看,我们的生活方式是我们所作出的选择的总和。我们选择做某件事,接着我们反反复复地做这件事。不久之后,这项选择就变得自然而然,成为一种更加难以改变的习惯。好消息是,如果我们了解习惯是怎么运作的,我们就可以作出改变。
根据现代心理学,我们必须首先了解“习惯循环”,其工作原理如下:
·第一是“触发因素”,即一个行动、事件或状况,充当要做某事的讯号。
·第二是“惯常行为”,即你响应触发因素而采取的常规行动。
·第三是“回报”,即我们从惯常行为中获得的美好事物或感受。
例如,当我们感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们会吃很多不健康零食(惯常行为),这让我们感到快乐(回报)。这一回报使我们更有可能继续这一循环,从而形成了依赖不健康零食这一不良习惯。
想要促使不良习惯朝着积极的方向转化,我们必须首先审视自己的坏习惯循环,然后尽力去调整。为了做到这一点,我们可以把来自我们不良习惯循环的信息与我们自己的积极想法结合起来。例如,我们可以试着将一个消极的惯常行为替换为一个更积极的东西。因此,当我们再次感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们可以听几首自己最喜爱的音乐(惯常行为),而不是吃零食,这会使我们感到放松(回报)。除了改变不良习惯之外,我们还可以利用习惯循环来养成良好的习惯。例如,当我们走到电梯前的时候(触发因素),我们的惯常行为是乘坐电梯,但是我们可以改为走楼梯,从而将上述惯常行为改变为一个更积极的事情。
我们中很多人试图迅速改变不良习惯,一旦没有立刻成功,我们往往变得悲观,继而放弃。事实上,改变不良习惯的最佳方法不是一蹴而就,而是需要一段时间。正如中国哲学家老子所说:“千里之行,始于足下。”一步似乎很小,却至关重要。为了实现改变这一目标,一个人必须展示出一定程度的自制力,不断地迈出许多小步。毕竟,戒除不良习惯并非易事。
对年轻人来说,有大量的时间可以改变不良习惯。然而,能帮助你的“魔力丸”或删除键并不存在;你必须思考自己的不良习惯,选定一些作出改变。你有能力构建一种充满良好习惯的快乐、健康的生活!

Scroll through social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and you will be confronted with picture after picture of perfectly presented and delicious-looking meals.While the smell and taste of food can have an undeniably powerful effect on our cravings, are endless posts of steaming snacks more than just a feast for our eyes?
Our eating habits are influenced by what we see.“There is some evidence that if you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation can prompt you to feel a desire to eat,” says Suzanne Higgs, a professor in the psychobiology of appetite.“If all your friends on social media are posting pictures or live-streaming of themselves consuming fast food, it’s going to set a norm that eating fast food is what people do.”
Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned that food-related content on social media is making us think differently about food.Social media algorithms (算法) promote content that users engage with more, so viewing more unhealthy food means seeing more of it on our social media feeds.
“It seems that healthier foods are often seen as boring in comparison,” says Tina Tessitore, associate professor of marketing.“In advertising, you see unhealthy food in social settings — people having a barbecue with friends, for example, while healthy food often focuses more on the nutritional value.If you saw friends eating salad together, it would seem so incredible.”
But while studies have found that social media can make us think differently about food, and that we typically engage more with content featuring unhealthy food, it’s uncertain yet whether this actually translates to our changes in our behavior in daily life.“If I’m scrolling through Instagram, looking at photos of tasty food, whether I seek out the food depends on how hungry I am, and whether it’s appropriate in that moment,” says Higgs.“And when we do eat, we’re influenced by more than what we’ve seen online.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着社交媒体上出现越来越多的美食图片,人们开始关注观看不健康食物的内容是否会影响我们的食物观念,以及是否会养成不健康的饮食习惯。
1.What does the author want to tell us in the first two paragraphs?( )
A.The flavour of food can stimulate our appetite.
B.There are many food posts on social media.
C.Social media can help us establish healthy habits.
D.Food posts can bring us negative impacts as well.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段内容可知,作者在前两段想告诉我们,食物帖子不仅给我们带来视觉上的愉悦,也会给我们带来负面影响。
2.Why are scientists becoming increasingly worried?( )
A.People may form the habit of viewing unhealthy food.
B.Social media always encourages us to eat more.
C.Food posts may have negative effects on people.
D.Consuming fast food is becoming more common.
解析:A 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,科学家们之所以越来越担心,是因为社交媒体算法会推送用户参与更多的内容。因此观看更多不健康食物意味着社交媒体会推送更多不健康的食物,人们就可能会形成看不健康食物的习惯。
3.What can be inferred in advertising from paragraph 4?( )
A.More attention has been paid to healthier foods.
B.All healthy food seems to lack nutritional value.
C.Friends can hardly be seen eating salad together.
D.Having a barbecue is healthier than eating salad.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第四段中Tina Tessitore说的话可推知,在广告中几乎不会出现与朋友们一起吃沙拉的情景。
4.What might the author tell us in the following paragraph?( )
A.Social media is changing our daily behavior.
B.More factors are influencing our eating habits.
C.Photos of tasty food always appeal to us to eat.
D.People have formed the same idea of eating food.
解析:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的it’s uncertain yet whether this actually translates to our changes in our behavior in daily life和And when we do eat, we’re influenced by more than what we’ve seen online可知,还有其他因素会影响我们的饮食习惯。因此下一段会讲更多影响我们饮食习惯的因素。
B
When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, which should come first — changing your diet or becoming more physically active?
Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends (趋向) to be discouraging.That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually, and set smaller goals.
So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were 45 or older into four groups.One group was instructed in making diet and fitness changes at the same time; the second group was taught about diet changes first, and then fitness changes four months later; the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later; the final, control group was not instructed in either diet or fitness changes but in how to manage their stress.
The researchers followed the groups for a full pared to the control group, the three intervention (干预) groups made healthy changes in their diet.Those who changed their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months.However, at the end of the year, the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels, while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of fitness after a year.The researchers suspect that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.
The findings show, however, that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives.“If folks change diet and exercise orderly,” the scientists say, “they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。要想健康生活,是先改变饮食习惯还是先改变运动习惯呢?研究发现,两者同时进行效果最佳。
5.How is paragraph 3 developed?( )
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By analyzing causes.
D.By making classifications.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,科学家将200名参与者分成四组,并分别介绍了这四组的不同情况。由此可知,本段主要是通过分类的形式来进行阐述的。
6.Which group was the most physically active after four months?( )
A.The first group. B.The second group.
C.The third group. D.The control group.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第四段第三句并结合第三段中对四个组的描述可知,四个月后,第三组即先改变运动习惯的那组参与者相比其他组,日常运动量显著增加,高于其他组,所以身体活动量最大。
7.What might the scientists approve of?( )
A.Changing eating habits first may be reasonable.
B.Diet and exercise changes should be made orderly.
C.Diet and exercise changes are equally hard to make.
D.Diet and exercise should be processed at the same time.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句及最后一段第一句可知,饮食和锻炼同时改变的小组最终达到国家推荐目标,而按顺序改变的小组未完全达标。由此推知,科学家们更赞同两者同时进行。
8.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?( )
A.Change Your Habits for Better Health
B.Ways to Lead a Healthy and Balanced Life
C.Making Healthy Lifestyle Changes Really Counts
D.Timing Matters in Making Diet and Exercise Changes
解析:D 标题归纳题。本文第一段提出“要想健康生活,是先改变饮食还是先更加积极地运动”这一问题,下文介绍了一项相关的实验,结果表明,饮食和锻炼同时进行改变效果最佳。因此D项(改变饮食和锻炼的时间顺序很重要)为本文最佳标题。

Going to work on a couple of eggs might be the way forward if you want to lose weight.According to research from the Rochester Centre for Obesity in America, eating eggs for breakfast may reduce daily calorie intake by over 400 calories.
In the study, 30 overweight women were asked to eat an egg-based breakfast (2 eggs) and 30 overweight women were asked to eat a bread-based breakfast.Two kinds of breakfast contained the same amount of calories and almost the same levels of protein (蛋白质).The researchers recorded the women’s eating habits and found that just before lunch, the women who had eaten eggs for breakfast felt less hungry and ate a smaller lunch as a result.
Researchers pointed out that certain foods lead to a greater sense of being full.An egg is an example of such food that has a 50% greater satiety index (指数) compared to white bread or ready-to-eat breakfast porridge.This study suggests that eating eggs for breakfast makes you feel fuller for longer so that you eat less at your next few meals.Therefore, if you’re trying to lose weight as it means, you may find it easier to cut calories without feeling hungry.
Eggs are packed with all kinds of nutrients (营养) but contain just 85 calories each.Old advice to limit eggs to just a few each week has also been given up.According to the Food Standards Agency, there’s now no limit to the number of eggs you can eat in a week as part of a healthy balanced diet.If you feel like starting the day with eggs, we suggest you avoid frying them and eat them with wholemeal toast and a small glass of vitamin C-rich unsweetened orange juice, which will help the body make the best use of the iron in the eggs.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了吃鸡蛋有助于减肥。
4.What breakfast can lead to eating less for lunch?( )
A.Bread. B.Eggs.
C.Juice. D.Porridge.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第一段和第二段最后一句可知,早餐吃鸡蛋能让你在一天剩下的时间里减少超过400卡路里的热量摄入。由此可知,早餐吃鸡蛋能让你午餐吃得少一些。
5.What does the underlined word “satiety” probably mean in paragraph 3?( )
A.A taste of food. B.A feeling of pride.
C.A state of hunger. D.A sense of being full.
解析:D 词义猜测题。根据第三段内容可知,研究指出一些食物会让人产生更强的饱腹感,鸡蛋的饱腹指数比白面包或即食早餐粥高出50%。因此satiety与前面的sense of being full互为同义表达,表示“满足,饱足”。
6.What does the Food Standards Agency suggest we do?( )
A.Avoid eating fried eggs.
B.Take in as much protein as possible.
C.Drink sweetened orange juice each day.
D.Eat nothing between breakfast and lunch.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,食品标准局建议早餐吃鸡蛋不要煎,而是搭配全麦吐司和一杯无糖橙汁。

B.Have a Big Breakfast
C.Eat Eggs for Weight Loss
D.Keep a Balanced Diet
