Warming Up & Reading

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Some people love eating food right after it is cooked. I prefer food just taken

out from the freezer. Fruit, candies, nuts, chocolate, cake with buttercream

frosting (糖霜)，even peas, all of them taste delicious when frozen. In fact, I often

eat them that way.

I was a kid when I picked up the habit. In my family, lots of things were thrown

into the freezer—finally, two freezers — to prevent them from going bad. Among

them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.

If we eat when they are still warm, we'll find ourselves taking the cookies more

than we should. It's better if we can put them into the freezer and wait. That way

we'll eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower,

more patient effort. That's the point about frozen buttercream frosting. Put it in

your mouth at room temperature, and it's gone very quickly. But when it's frozen,

you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts (融化) in your mouth.

The freezer treats a lot of fruit kindly. Take frozen grapes for example. I keep

a bowl of grapes in my freezer. They become a little icy, and somehow their sweetness

is improved. They are perfect and healthy dessert (点心)．This is the same with

oranges, apples, bananas ...You might think bananas would get super­hard when frozen.

Wrong! They become cool, creamy and sweet. If you have wisely covered some or all

of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer, they will

have a double taste.

As long as you aren't eating anything that truly has to be hot go ahead and

experiment.

Do you love holidays but hate the increase in weight that follows? You are not

alone.

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however,

are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea

is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from

the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Don't miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast (宴会), have a small, low­fat

snack. This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.

Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.

A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.

Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough. Better not have high­fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat

in them.

Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruit. They don't have fat content

as cream and chocolate.

Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20­minute walk after a

meal can help burn off excess calories (多余的热量)．
