Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.

A. their home comforts B. their body shape

C. house buying D. healthy diets

2.A home environment in blue can help people_________.

A. digest food better B. reduce food intake

C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites

3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.

C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.

4.What can be a suitable title for the test?

A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner

C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

5.When you want to find a job,you have to face the employer and you must know how to
introduce yourself well.Then you will be lucky enough.
The first impressions can play a major role in how an employer like you as a candidate(求职者).What you say during the first step of the interview may make a big difference.In fact,some hiring managers may make a decision to refuse a candidate based on what they didn't do when you met them.That's why it's important to pay attention to interview manners and to carefully think through how you will introduce yourself during a job interview.
When arriving at the interview site you can introduce yourself to the receptionist (接待员) by giving your name and telling the purpose of your visit.For example:"My name is Tim Jones and I have an interview scheduled with John Smith at 2pm."You will be guided into the interview room or the hiring manager will come out to meet you in the reception area.Again,take the time to introduce yourself so the interviewer knows who you are.
Offer to shake hands,even if the interviewer doesn't offer his hand first.Tell the interviewer that it is a pleasure to meet him.Smile,and be sure to make eye contact.
Many hiring managers will start an interview with an open-ended question like"Tell me about yourself."Your response should focus on the key elements in your background.You should carefully analyze the job first to the interviewer,and you can point out the interests,skills,experiences,and personal qualities.
Your introduction should be brief enough to hold the interest of the interviewer so that you can move on to the next question.Your goal is to connect personally with the interviewer as well as to show that you're qualified for the job.Of course,your comments should show your enthusiasm for the job and organization.However,don't overdo it and don't spend too much time talking about yourself.
60.What is the purpose of the author to write this passage?B
A.To tell candidates how to go to a reception desk.
B.To tell candidates how to introduce themselves when finding a job.

China’s very first airplane restaurant recently opened in Wuhan, China. Named “Lilly Airways”, the restaurant is located in the cabin area of an old Boeing 737 passenger airplane.

Businessman Li Liang acquired the aircraft from Indonesian airline Batavia Air, but then he had to go through six mouths of exhausting custom(海关)procedures in order to get the aircraft into China.” Demounting(拆卸), port, shipping, business license, trade declaration…All these procedures were never done by anybody before, which means I had to go through them one by one,” Li said.
