Instead of gobbling(狼吞虎咽) your food, try eating more slowly. It may help you drop those unwanted pounds. The conclusion is from a new study by Chinese researcher.

The study showed that compared with people who gobbled their food, those who ate at a normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese(肥胖的). But those who ate slowly were up to 42 percent less likely to obese. In addition, people who ate slowly tended (往往會) to be healthier and have a healthier lifestyle than those who ate quickly or at a normal speed. “However, this study could not prove that speed eating causes or stops obesity,” the researcher noted.

“Slow eating has its advantages and a few disadvantages ,” said Samantha Heller from New York City. “On the one hand, slow eating gives our body time to register a sense of satisfaction and fullness, so we eat less. We are more likely to enjoy a taste of food. On the other hand, the longer people sit in front of food, the more food they will eat, ”she said.

“Speed eating appears to be far more harmful. People who eat quickly, as many of us do, gobble far more food than they need. In many European countries, slow eating is a way of life,” Heller said. In America, speed eating takes the lead. Thus we need to encourage people to have a change, learn the way of slower eating from Europeans and get a true enjoyment of food.

1.The researchers who found eating slowly may help you drop pounds come from ______.

A.America. B.Japan. C.China. D.Europe.

2.Who is the least likely to be obese according to the second paragraph？

A.People who eat at a normal speed. B.People who eat quickly.

C.People who eat slowly. D.People who eat little.

A.Speed eating is harmful to us.

B.People who ate slowly tended to be healthier than those who ate quickly.

C.The longer you sit in front of food, the more food you will eat.

D.It is sure that eating quickly can cause obesity.

4.The underlined word “register” probably means ______ in Chinese.

A.注冊 B.意識到 C.抵制住 D.缺乏

5.This passage mainly talks about _______.

What does Beijing’s Palace Museum look like at night? Many people don’t know the answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30 p.m in winter and 5:00 p.m in summer.
