You pay less to eat at this time.

W: Not yet．Are there a lot of changes？

M: There sure are．Instead of paying one fee for all meals for the whole school year，we will be able to choose seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals for a week marked on it.

W: That's a big change. And a complicated system.

M: Yeah. But it will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they don't have to pay for meals they don't eat.

W: So what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time？

M: It's better for them too. Because the more meals you contract, the cheaper each one is.

W: I see. Still sounds complicated.

M: True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the ten meals.

W: Why is that？

M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten meal plan gives me lunch and dinner each weekday at a fairly low price.

W: And what about the weekend when you are on campus？

M: Well, there are often guests on campus at weekends. So they allow you to buy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher in that way. But it will still be less for me to pay single prices on the weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen-meal-a-week plan.

W: Oh, I'll have to sit down and figure out how I can get the best deal.

(20)

A．All students pay the same amount per year.

B．Students choose how many meals a week they will pay for.

C．Students can get money back for meals that they don't eat.

D．Some students can get free meals at the cafeteria.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： There are many ways to lose weight. First of all, start small. Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than drastic ones. Try reducing the size of the portions you eat and giving up regular soda for a week. Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

Second, stop eating when you're full. Lots of people eat when they're bored, lonely, or stressed, or keep eating long after they're full out of habit. Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you're full. Slowing down can help because it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to recognize how much is in your stomach. Sometimes taking a break before going for seconds can keep you from eating another serving.

Avoid eating when you feel upset or bored, try to find something else to do instead (a walk around the block or a trip to the gym are good alternatives). Many people find it's helpful to keep a diary of what they eat and when. Reviewing the diary later can help them identify the emotions they have when they overeat or whether they have unhealthy habits. A registered dietitian can give you pointers on how to do this.

Third, eat less more often. Many people find that eating a couple of small snacks throughout the day helps them to make healthy choices at meals. Stick a couple of healthy snacks in your backpack so that you can have one or two snacks during the day. Adding healthy snacks to your three squares and eating smaller portions when you sit down to dinner can help you cut calories without feeling deprived.

(27)

A．Because it takes time before your brain realizes that you're full.

B．Because the slower you eat, the less you absorb.

C．Because it's healthier to eat slowly.

D．Because it helps to hum the fat in your body.

D．Burgers.

W: Not yet. Are there a lot of changes？

M: There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we will now be able to choose how many per week we want and can contract for just that amount. We still have to pay for the whole year at the beginning. But we can choose to buy seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get for a week marked on it.

W: That's a big change Tom. And a complicated system.

M: Yeah. But it will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they won't have to pay for meals they don't cat.

M: Well, there are often guests on campus on weekends. So they allow you to buy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher in that way. But I am away so much that it will still be less money for me to pay single prices on the weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen-meal a week plan.

Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred(神圣的) ; a time to eat, but also to share precious moments with family and friends. Now, here's a Brazilian custom I miss enormously: a decent, sit-down, leisurely-paced lunch and/or dinner. To this day, I have to keep reminding myself, "what's the big hurry？ " and I confess that one of the things I look forward to, when I go to Brazil, is the "family" meal. We have a joke that, if you see people sitting around a table in the US, having lunch for longer than 1/2 hour, it must be a business lunch. And also, sitting at your desk and eating lunch while you work is incomprehensible to most Brazilians, who leave their offices to eat with their colleagues and friends in restaurants and cafes. You guess, lunch is usually a more substantial meal than in the U.S.

(68) For lunch and, depending on the location, also dinner, Brazilians have wonderful, inexpensive restaurants where home-style. meals are sold by kilo. You just pile the food on your plate and someone will weigh it for you. The same goes for desserts. You order drinks from your waiter and pay him at the end of your meal.

Dinner is served much later than in the U. S. In the big cities, children are a common sight in restaurants at night, since Brazilians will take their kids out to dinner at all hours. As a result of this and the traditional Sunday lunches, Brazilian kids learn table manners at an early age. For many of my Brazilian friends, dinner is a lighter meal of bread, cheese and cold cuts. So expect either type of meal.

In Brazil, people usually have meals______.

A．in a hurry at restaurants

B．in a leisurely manner

C．at their desk in the office

D．for less than 1/2 hour

Eat less and exercise more if you want to live to a_____old age.

A．ripe

B．mature

C．perfect

D．far
