Do you love holidays but hate gaining weight?...

Do you love holidays but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.

Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining physical fitness:

Don’t skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack(零食). This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.

Control the amount of food. Use a small plate that may encourage you to “load up (载满)”. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist (拳头).

Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables, or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.

Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy(奶油的)may have large amount of fat. Choose lean meat(瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.

Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk helps to burn off extra calories.（238 words）

This is not a diet. It is a simple way to lose weight. You do not have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits thin people have. Keep them, and you’ll become thin.

Wake-up.

When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands with legs straight out, lean forward until you feel sore in your back. It will use up 10 calories.

1..

Order a clear soup, and have it before the main food. In this way, you will feel fuller and you’ll eat less when the main food comes.

2..

Apples are full of fiber and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.

3..

Every time you use the cell phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more a day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories.

Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.

A. How to lose weight

B. Eat an apple or more a day

C. Talk it up

D. Start with soup

If you think you’ve gained too much weight or are too skinny, you can talk to a doctor. Your doctor will tell you _1.__.

If it is concerned about your height, weight, or BMI(体重指数)，your doctor may ask questions__2.__. Your doctor may also ask about your family background to find out if you’ve received something from your parents that might make you taller, shorter, or a late bloomer(someone who develops later than other people of the same age). The doctor can then put all the information together to decide _3.__.

If your weight isn’t in a healthy range, you will probably get specific diet and exercise recommendations (推荐)based on our individual needs,. Following a doctor’s or dietitian’s plan designed especially for you will work much better than following fad(时尚) diets. For teens, fad diets or starvation plans can actually slow down growth, and the weight loss usually doesn’t last.

What _4._? Most teens who weigh less than other teens of their age are just fine. They may be going through puberty on a different schedule than kids of the same age, and their bodies may be growing and changing at a different rate. Most underweight teens catch up in weight as they finish puberty during their later teen years so there’s rarely a need to try to gain weight.

In a few cases, teenagers can be underweight because of a health problem that needs treatment. If you feel tired or ill a lot, or __5.__, or other problems that have lasted for more than a week or two, be sure to let your parents or your doctor know.

A.whether you might have a weight or growth problem

B.if you have symptoms (症状)like a cough, stomachache.

C.about your health, physical activity, and eating habits

D.if you’re worried about being too skinny

E.if you take care of it

F.whether you’re growing normally

G.about your dieting

Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you're there --- you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows.

Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year --- as many as one in three don’t --- to get the benefits.

The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.

The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress --- known as the stress-resilience test --- improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.

The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity.

1. According to the passage, how many people go on holiday?

A. One third. B. Two thirds.

2.Which of the following can we infer from the passage?

A. The further you go, the better the benefits.

B. Most people like to stay at home during the holiday.

C. Holiday makers are more adaptable than non-holidaymakers.

D. The result of the study is mostly based on the description from the people involved.

3.The author intends to tell us that __________.

A. we have to go on holiday as much as possible

B. you’ll certainly get depressed if you don’t go on holiday

C. it is best to go to foreign countries like Maldives

D. we had better go on holiday for the benefit of health
