One of the most widely accepted, commonly repeated assumptions (假設(shè)) in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight. I exercise all the time, but I still have gut fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?
It’s a question many of us could ask. More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study — the Minnesota Heart Survey — found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.
And yet obesity (肥胖) figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?
The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases — those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over-evaluated.
“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, exercise researcher at Louisiana State University. Many recent studies have found that exercise isn’t as important in helping people lose weight as you hear so regularly in gym advertisements or on shows like The Biggest Loser — or, for that matter, from magazines like this one.
The basic problem is that while it’s true that exercise burns calories and that you must burn calories to lose weight, exercise has another effect: it can make one hungry. That causes us to eat more, which in turn can negate (使無效) the weight-loss benefits we just gained. Exercise, in other words, isn’t necessarily helping us lose weight. It may even be making it harder.
From the passage we learn that ____.
A. some Americans join a health club but never go there
B. the number of overweight people has doubled since 1993
C. more than 45 million Americans now go to the gym regularly
D. Americans waste too much money each year on sports
According to the passage, exercise ____.
A. has long been believed to be good for older adults
B. is not properly advertised as an effective way to lose weight
C. was first recognized as an effective way to lose weight in the 1960s
D. is less effective in preventing heart disease than what doctors believe
According to the writer, people might gain weight because ____.
A. they have the habit of going to the gym regularly
B. they eat the same food when they do not exercise
C. they exercise less than required by doctors
D. they eat more after they exercise
What may be the best title for this passage?
A. Overweight Is Not Good for Your Health
B. Exercise Won’t Make You Thin

People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(間隔)each day.
Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work
The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陳代謝)will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(調(diào)整)itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2, 500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.
【小題1】What is the main reason why people are overweight according to the author?
| A．They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time. |
| B．They eat food with lots of calories. |
| C．They don’t take any weight loss pills. |
| D．They burn many calories every day. |
| A．tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food |
| B．tell readers how to lose weight |
| C．tell readers about an important scientific discovery |
| D．call on people to lose weight and stay healthy |
| A．a(chǎn), b, c, d | B．a(chǎn), b, d, e |
| C．a(chǎn), c, d, e | D．a(chǎn), b, c, e |
