    　　Dieters are often advised to stop drinking alcohol to avoid the extra calories lurking in a glass of wine or a favorite cocktail．But new research suggests that women who regularly consume moderate(适度的)amounts of alcohol are less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers and are at lower risk for obesity(fatness)．

    　　The findings, reported this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, are based on a study of 19,220 United States women aged 30 to 40 who fall into the“normal weight”based on their body mass index．Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston tracked the women's drinking habits over 13 years．About 60 percent of the women were light or regular drinkers, while about 40 percent reported drinking no alcohol．

    　　Over the course of the study, 41 percent of the women became overweight．Although alcohol is packed with calories, the nondrinkers in the study actually gained more weight over time：nine pounds, on average, compared with an average gain of about three pounds among regular moderate drinkers．The risk of becoming overweight was almost 30 percent lower for women who consumed one or two alcohol drinks a day, compared with nondrinkers．

    　　The findings are certain to be confusing for women who continue to receive conflicting messages about the health benefits and risks of alcohol．Although moderate drinking is associated with better heart health, regular drinking also increases breast cancer risk．

    　　The trend toward less weight gain among drinkers doesn't appear to hold true for men．A 2003 study of British men showed that regular drinkers gained more weight than nondrinkers．Studies suggest that drinking alcohol has different effects on eating habits among men and women．Men typically add alcohol to their daily caloric intake, whereas women are more likely to substitute(替代)alcohol for food．In addition, there may be differences in how men and women metabolize(代谢)alcohol．Metabolic studies show that after men drink alcohol, they experience little if any metabolic change．But alcohol appears to slightly speed up a woman's metabolism．

    　　The findings don't mean women should rush to drink alcohol to lose weight．Other research shows that once a person is already overweight, her alcohol metabolism is more efficient, and so an overweight woman may gain more weight from alcohol than a lean(瘦的)woman．The data do, however, suggest that for many women facing weight problems, the extra calories are probably not coming from alcoholic drinks．

    (1)

    According to the study, which of the following regular drinker is less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers?

    [　　]

    A．

    B．

    C．

    D．

    (2)

    That men regular drinkers gained more weight than women regular drinkers is due to the following except ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    women are more likely to substitute alcohol for food．

    B．

    men drink alcohol much faster than women．

    C．

    men and women metabolize alcohol differently．

    D．

    men have different effects on eating habits with women．

    (3)

    The underlined word“whereas”may probably mean ________．

    A．

    B．

    in order that

    C．

    What can a dieter probably do before reading this passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Rush to drink alcohol to lose weight

    B．

    Add alcohol to his or her daily caloric intake．

    C．

    Face the weight problems alone．

    Try to stop drinking any alcohol or wine．

    All of my childhood and early, adult life, my mom weighed over 220 pounds (one pound = 0.454 kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.

    　 I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.

    　　 After more than twenty years of battling obesity（肥胖）, my mother completed a forceful eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful little lady under the fatness. It wasn’t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new spirit.

    　 To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won — she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.

    　 She told each one of us, “I’m not doing it to win; I’m doing it to dance!”

    　 The competition was exciting! I prayed(祈祷) that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes, and her performance was wonderful.

    　 That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title.

    2. After the author’s mom completed a forceful eighteen-month diet, she was about ______.

    A. 85 kilograms 　　　　　　　　　 B. 41 kilograms

    　 C. 130 pounds　　　 　　　　　　　 D. 90 pounds

    3. In order to join in the “Mrs. Forty-Plus” Competition, the author’s mom has to do the following EXCEPT __________.

    　 A. providing a dance performance　　　　

    　 B. telling a funny story about herself

    　 C. giving a speech to a large number of people

    　 D. wearing special clothes to show to people
