19、。)以及下面几个段落中提到的建议可知,本文是关于如何不变胖的,所以那些“关心自己体形的人”会觉得本文特别有帮助,故选 B项。A 项“家的舒适条件”;C项“购买房子”;D 项“健康饮食”,均不符合题意。6.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的.people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.可知,人们在蓝色的房间里吃饭,要比在黄色或者红色的房间里少吃 33%的食物,故 B项“减少食物摄入量”正确。A项“更好地消化食物”,C 项“消耗更多的卡路里”,D 项“
20、重新获得食欲”,都与蓝色无关。7.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的 People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.可知,吃饭越快吃得越多,排除 A项“吃饭速度快” 。根据第四段中的 If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.可知,播放令人放松的音乐能让吃饭的速度减慢,排除 B项“播放节奏快的音乐” 。根据第二段首句 Open the cu
