It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.
According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate(调节) its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures—and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.
Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(废气), and go early in the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.

Modern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat. Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things. How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. People eating alone eat least. People eating
with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. Eating with overweight friends? You’ll eat more. Is your waitress overweight? You’ll eat more. A wide variety of food? You’ll eat more.
Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. If people ate it off a paper plate, they’d say, “This is good.” If they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “This is the greatest cake I’ve eaten in my entire life.”
Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. You tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. So Grandma’s cookies always taste better than other cookies. “Good food” even has a “health halo(光环) effect”. If we’re eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. Due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories(卡路里) than the cheese cake alone. That’s perhaps also why eating organic(有机的) food might turn you into an annoying guy. Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour.
Food and hunger affect your judgment too. Hungry judges give more serious sentences. Kids
who don’t eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了哪些因素会导致人们吃得更多。 5.What is mentioned as a cause of overeating? A.Suffering from great loneliness. B.Being served by a helpful waitress. C.Being treated to high quality food. D.Eating with many friends.
D 解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段的“People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.” 可知,和许多朋友一起吃饭是吃得多的一个原因,故D项正确。
6.According to the passage, an annoying person may be one who________. A.finds any excuse for eating more B.is crazy about the quality of plates C.competes with others in making cookies D.teaches people to stick to morality
A 解析: 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容和第三段中的“That’s perhaps also...your immoral behaviour.” 可知,一个让人讨厌的人可能总会找到多吃的借口,故A项正确。
7.According to the passage, people are more likely to make a bad judgment when ________.
A.they don’t feel hungry B.they aren’t overweight C.they have low blood sugar D.they know little about food
C 解析: 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.” 可知,低血糖的人比常人更难以集中注意力和控制自己的情绪,判断力会更差,故C项正确。
8.What would be the best title for the passage? A.When Can’t We Go on a Diet? B.What Affects Eating? C.How to Make Good Food
D.Where to Find Safe Food
B 解析: 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文的主题句是第一段的第二句“Often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things.”, 结合下文内容可知,本文主要介绍影响吃饭的因素,故B项最能概括文章大意。
