With the new term 【小题1】 (approach), Bertha Berger struggled to put on her blue jeans. She stepped on the bathroom scale (秤). She had never seen such 【小题2】 high number on the little scale, so she decided to change.

That day she threw out all the junk food in her fridge and went grocery shopping. 【小题3】 (determine) to lose weight, she bought low-fat versions of all her favorite foods. She had two low-sodium (钠）bacon       【小题4】 (sandwich ) with a diet soda for lunch. The food contained over 1,200 calories but had very little salt. For dinner she ate two turkey burgers with reduced-fat cheese. 【小题5】 she had received over 2,000 calories, Bertha felt that she needed a reward. Then for dessert she ate one low-calorie ice-cream sandwich. And 【小题6】 bed she ate a bag of baked potato chips, which she thought were 【小题7】（healthy ) than normal chips, even if they had 【小题8】 (rough) the same amount of calories. She dipped them in low-fat cream cheese. Bertha 【小题9】 (consume) around 6,500 calories that day, but she felt skinny. When she woke     up the next morning, she stepped on the scale. She couldn’t wait to see how 【小题10】 (success) her diet had been.

Eating at restaurants hasn’t always been known as the best choice for people 【小题1】 are trying to keep a healthy diet. It is 【小题2】 (extreme) hard for people to avoid food that isn’t so good for them when dining out. However, you don’t have to give 【小题3】 your love of restaurants. There are ways that you can eat healthier food when dinning out while you can still enjoy the experience.

One method is to take time 【小题4】 (read) the nutrition information. Some restaurants post it on their menus or their website. If you know you’re going to visit 【小题5】 certain restaurant, you should check the website first. If no nutrition information 【小题6】 (list), you should check the menu at the restaurant before you order.

Another way is to think about not eating cream or butter sauces. Instead, consider 【小题7】 (choose) a sauce that could add a rich flavor to you food without extra calories (卡路里) .

All restaurants have water available. Whether it is free or you have to buy it, you should choose to drink water over other drinks like beer or soda, 【小题8】 contains a lot of calories.

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away,【小题1】 (leave) us wanting more. All 【小题2】 (taste) foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.

Our bodies 【小题3】 (design) to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy 【小题4】 (store) for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So 【小题5】 very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.

So what is the 【小题6】 (solve)? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals 【小题7】 after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.

But there are those 【小题8】 are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit. Other schools 【小题9】 (grow) their own food in gardens, or building 【小题10】 (facility) like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
