[1]It's safe, it's simple, and it works: Drinking right amounts of water really can help you lose weight, new research shows.
[2]In what researchers claim is the first-ever trial of the effect of water consumption on weight loss, scientists from Virginia Tech found that dieters who started each meal with two glasses of water lost nearly five pounds more, on average, than dieters who did not, over the course of 12 weeks. There's no shortage of clear evidence about how water might work to control your appetite (食欲). It ________________ so you don't eat so much; it keeps down your thirst so that you don't turn to calorie－rich sodas or juices. But until now, the researchers say, there has been no true evidence that water's appetite-controlling benefits ever translate into actual weight loss. Now there is. In the 12-week study period, dieters instructed to drink water with every meal lost an average of 15.5 pounds; dieters given no instructions lost, on average, just 11 pounds.
[3]Perhaps the most surprising thing about the finding is how little we still know about healthy water consumption in general. In fact, although doctors and public health authorities regularly remind us to drink more water, very few studies give any insight into what our ideal quantity may be.
[4]The new results today suggest that many people could indeed stand to drink a little more water than they do. But if you're looking to lose weight, be aware that it is actually possible to drink too much water, and you probably won't help matters any by drinking too much water at a time. In extreme cases, it can even be deadly. A couple of glasses with each meal, however, should be no problem at all for a healthy person.

试题分析：本文叙述了人们的最新研究发现饭前喝适量的水有助于减肥，文中以一些研究数字来论证它的可信性，最后文章指出应注意的是不能一次喝太多的水，如果喝的太多也许会引起疾病，要喝适量的水。
小题1:根据文章开头点题Drinking right amounts of water really can help you lose weight, new research shows. 故Drinking water can help lose weight.
小题2:There's no shortage of clear evidence about how water might work to control your appetite我们并不缺乏清晰的证据表明水可能来控制你的食欲；也就是已经证明了这件事，故用has proved.
小题3:根据so you don't eat so much，既然不能吃的太多，就是说喝水能让你有饱的感觉，故用fills you up.
小题4:根据you probably won't help matters any by drinking too much water at a time. In extreme cases, it can even be deadly.既然喝太多的水是致命的，就说明一次喝的太多也许会引起疾病，故用Because it might cause / lead to / result in death.
小题5:根据It's safe, it's simple, and it works: Drinking right amounts of water really can help you lose weight, new research shows. 有冒号后面的内容可知它指的是 Drinking right amounts of water.
