The 69 low-income wage earners in the first study admitted to skip meals or not eating at home because of time constraints and for financial reasons. In the current study, we found that half of the mothers and fathers surveying depended on 12 of the 22 mealtime coping strategies. We know that when people cat together as family, diets of both the parents and the children tend to be better. But often our jobs don't allow us to eat together at home as often as we'd like.
The issue is not simply a matter of what we eat, but how we eat. Long and regular work hours are a primary cause of unhealthy eating habits, and for scheduling issues can't always be avoided, there are certain workplace-based interventions that could improve the diets of many wage-earning workers. Shift employees, for example, often resort to food from vending machines (自动售货机) because their employers' cafeterias are close during off hours; keeping cafeterias open longer during off-hours could help workers to eat healthier. Having breaks to ensure that employees eat regularly would be other helpful intervention. We hope that by quantifying the nutritional impact of on-the-job constraints. It might finally prompt employers to make some workplace changes. We are not going to fix the obesity epidemic simply by telling people to eat well and choose good food. This study is telling us that it is the structure of our lives what makes it very difficult to do what doctors recommend.

Being assertive (过分自信) is being able to communicate with other people clearly. If you felt that you had expressed what was important to you and allowed the other person to respond in their own way then, regardless of the final outcome, you behaved assertively. It is important to remember that being assertive refers to a way of coping with confrontations (对抗). It does not mean getting your own way every time or winning some battle of wits against another person. In practice assertive behaviour is usually most likely to produce a result which is generally acceptable to all concerned, without anyone feeling that they have been unfairly treated.
Assertiveness is often wrongly confused with aggression (侵犯行为). An aggressive confrontation is when one or both parties attempt to put forward their feelings and beliefs at the expense of others. In an assertive confrontation, however, each party stands up for their personal rights, but each shows respect and understanding for the other' s viewpoint.
The reason why assertiveness may not come naturally is that we often tend to believe that we must talk around a subject rather than be direct, or that we must offer excuses or justifications for our actions.
In fact we all have a right to use assertive behaviour in a variety of situations. We are often schooled early in life to believe that sometimes our own need to express ourselves must take secondary place. For example, in dealing with those in privileged positions such as specialists, we often feel that speaking assertively is, in some way, "breaking the rules". Everybody has certain basic human rights, but often we feel guilty about exercising them.
According to the passage, an assertive person ______.
A．makes other people feel unfairly treated
B．puts forward his ideas at the expense of others
C．does not show respect to other people
D．speaks out what he wants to say forcefully
Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and close-ness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.
For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Ameri-cans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often consider the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other.
The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indi-cates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.
On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparent-ly play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to bea sign of friendliness. Someone, who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.
According to the passage, nonverbal communication______.
A．is a method often used by people who cannot speak
B．can tell something that words cannot
C．can be used to talk with people who cannot bear
D．is less used than words
The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform. it rather effortlessly.
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style. and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook. Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.
According to the writer, people often assume different statuses ______.
A．in order to identify themselves with others
B．in order to better identify others
C．as their mental processes change
D．as the situation changes
The importance of habit on the survival of the human species is an interesting matter. Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before. Even if the food or drink is offered by a friend, we are usually not at all anxious to experiment and accept the offer.
When you get up tomorrow morning, notice which shoe or sock you put on first. Then notice which one you put on first on other days. You may discover that (a) you tend to put on one shoe or sock first every day, and that (b) if you are right-handed, you usually deal with your left shoe or sock first. If you try to change this habit, you may find it uncomfortable or annoying, and you will soon return to your old habit.
When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep in one or two favorite ways. We often follow familiar routes even when they are not the shortest or best. We often wear a watch on the same wrist even when there is no real reason for doing so. (83)In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too. We must be alert and not let a beneficial factor become a harmful one.
The best title for this passage might be _____.
A．Habit—a Barrier to Progress
B．The Survival of Mankind
C．Various Patterns of Human Behavior
D．We Are Creatures of Habit
