If you’re thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz – the equivalent of a whole dress size – while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.
The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most common vice, with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent), crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).
And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.
Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said: “We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing. Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”
The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying, compared to 20 per cent of men. Unfortunately, it's not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.
1.According to the passage, women usually put weight on first ________.
A. on the face B. on the legs
C. on the feet D. in the middle
2.What’s the main reason of eating snacks in office?
A. Colleagues eat them to save money.
B. Staff use them to cope with their lunch.
C. Colleagues often bring them to office.
D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.
3.Why do office workers eat a “quick fix” lunch?
A. Because it has much of nutrition.
B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.
C. Because it has little effect on general wellbeing.
D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.
4.It can be inferred that British women are ________.
A. less likely to lie on snacks than men
B. more likely to lie on snacks than men
C. more ashamed of eating snacks than men
D. less ashamed of eating snacks than men
5. What does the underlined word possibly mean?
A. act against B. appeal to
C. cope with D. get in

A
You've probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, voice and music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists(精神病醫(yī)師) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.
But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “ life coach ”. People who are at crossroads in their lives, and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost, are turning to them for help.
The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.
But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理療法)to help others make critical life decisions.
They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.
Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.
Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful---including battered women and struggling single mothers.
But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick(華而不實的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.
1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Working Yourself Happy.
B. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions.
C. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches.
D. The Life-Coaching Movement.
2.The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means“_______”.
A. The career counselor who teaches skills
B. The psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life
C. The fitness coach who teaches us lessons
D. The specialist who helps us make important life decisions
3.The last paragraph is mainly about__________.
A. the introductions of life coach
B. the disagreements of life coach
C. the effects of life coach
D. the experiences of life coach
4.What is the author’s attitude towards life coaches?
A. Cautious. B. Approving.
C. Casual. D. Disapproving.

Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example --- what will be the next?
