In fact, 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 your 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 when theyre in poorly lit placesand so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesnt 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 its time to repaint, go blue. Dont forget the clockor the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories 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 youre 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 jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.41. The text is especially helpful for those who care about _.A. house buying B. healthy dietC. their body shapeD. their home comforts42. A home environment in blue can help people _.A. reduce food intakeB. digest food better C. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites43. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music. C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.44. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Ways of Serving Dinner B. Is Your House Making You Fat?C. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? B Food is one of the necessities in our daily life. It serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eatand when and how we eat themare often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between countrysides and cities within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.45.

But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands. For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands? Experts say it's because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.” Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes are really top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves. Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I'd rather spend the extra money to get something I know I'll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It's fake (假的) happiness.” People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren't any better. “It's wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You'll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”48.The example of Jim's report wants to tell us _.A. popular brands make people comfortableB. the hottest brands are of the highest qualityC. Koss Pro headphones are better than Beats headphones D. lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as brand names 49.According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably _.A. to show offB. for their better qualityC. for their better designsD. to belong to a special group50.What does Edmund think of expensive brands?A. They are not worth the price.B. They make him feel confident.C. They need to improve their quality.D.

Also, a Microsoft home doesn't just warn you when you're out of milkit can send you a fresh gallon. But are these innovations just magic, or are they really coming soon to a neighborhood near you? To find out, US News asked some experts to get their opinions about the home of the not-so-distant future. Here's a look at the innovations. The housing boom was marked by mass-produced buildings filled with units which look the same. The coming years, however, will give way to a personalized approach to home construction, with houses as more of an instrument of self-expression. "The successful builders will be the ones that figure out how to change their production model enough to make the buyers feel like they are really getting something that is designed for them, not just a model," says Kermit Baker, the chief economist at the American Institute of Architects. Future homes will probably shrink. "We will be building smaller but smarter houses," says Ed McMahon, a senior resident fellow at the Urban Land Institute. "Instead of having a room for just one use, consumers will demand homes that make better use of space," says Susanka, whose best-selling book, The Not So Big House, has become increasingly influential in home design. Seldom-used quarters, such as dining and living rooms, will be replaced with space that can serve both functions. "The goal of his 'right-size' home is to fit its owners like a specially cut suit rather than a jacket you buy in a store," says Susanka.52. Why does the writer mention a dream home and a Microsoft home?A. To lead to the topic of the passage.B. To tell us what kind of house to buy.C. To tell us that technology develops fast.D. To tell us something about future homes.53. According to the third paragraph, future houses will _.A. be mass-producedB. have a lot of things in commonC. express the owners' personalitiesD. be designed by the owners themselves54. The underlined word "shrink" can be replaced by "_".A. become cleanerB. become brighterC. become smallerD. become more comfortable55. Smarter houses in the last paragraph refer to houses that _.A. have a room for every use B. can make better use of spaceC. have very advanced furnitu
