Ⅲ.阅读理解
A study found overweight adults lost nearly 10lb (10磅) in 12 weeks after drinking water half an hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Researchers say it could provide a lowcost solution to Britain's increasing obesity crisis.
They conducted an experiment and the obese adults experimented were given a weight management consultation. They were advised on changing their lifestyle and diet and how to improve their levels of physical activity. Half were asked to drink water before meals and half were just asked to imagine that they had a full stomach before eating. The first group lost 2lb 14oz more than the second group, on average. Sparkling water (苏打水), sodas and sweetened drinks

were not allowed and participants drank plain tap water.
Helen Parretti, Doctor of the National Institute for Health Research at the University of Birmingham and lead author of the research, said, The beauty of these findings is in the simplicity. Just drinking a pint (品脱) of water, three times a day, before your main meals may help reduce your weight.
“When combined with brief instructions on how to increase your amount of physical activity and on a healthy diet, this seems to help people to achieve some extra weight loss at a healthy rate. It's something that doesn't take much work in our busy everyday lives.”
Many weightloss plans advise people to drink water, but no previous studies directly tested this.
Last night Tam Fry said, “There is a widely held view that simple tap water is plain boring and couldn't possibly help you feel full — but it does.”
Dr. Louis Levy, head of nutrition science at Public Health England, said, “ Thirst can sometimes be mistaken for hunger.” He added. “While water does not cause you to lose weight, it does keep you hydrated (含水的) and might help you to eat less.”
1．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．A new experiment about the young people.
B．How to lose weight for the young people.
C．A study that having water before each meal may beat obesity crisis.
D．The importance of drinking water.
2．What advice did the obese adults experimented get?
A．Changing their lifestyle and diet and improving their levels of physical activity.
B．Always imaging they had a full stomach before drinking water.
C．How to lose weight in a short time.
D．How to drink water in the daytime.
3．What kind of drinks were the obese adults experimented asked to drink?
A．Sparkling water.
B．Sodas.
C．Sweetened drinks.
D．Plain tap water.
4．What's the advantage of the way to lose weight in this study?
A．Beautiful. B．Simple.
C．Hard. D．Complex.
5．Dr. Louis Levy thought that ________.
A．water may help people eat less
B．water itself can make people lose weight
C．water can make people feel hungry
D．a person who is thirsty is actually hungry
