【題目】Most heavy teens’ attempts1(lose) don’t work, but a new study shows a big secret of those who do succeed.

They do it more2 their own sake rather than to impress their peers or please their parents.

“Most parents have the view that their teens are 3(large) influenced by other people’s perceptions of them,” said Chad Jensen, 4 psychologist at Brigham Young University. “Our 5(finding) suggest that teens have motivations that are more intrinsic. One implication is 6 parents should help to focus their teen on healthy behaviours for the sake of being healthy more than for social acceptance.

Jensen and his students at BYU looked in depth at the success stories of 40 formerly overweight teens. On average the participants shed 30 pounds, 7(move) them from the obese to the normal weight category. They also maintained their healthier weight for a full year. More than 60 percent8 (describe) their health as the primary motive. About 43 percent identified peer acceptance as a factor.

In another interview, nearly all of the teens emphasized that it was their own9 (decide) to lose weight. According to teens, parents provided the most help simply by modeling healthy behaviours and 10(provide) healthier options for meals and snacks.

【解析】文章講述了青少年減肥更多是為了他們自己,而不是為了打動他們的同齡人或取悅他們的父母。研究結(jié)果表明,青少年有更多的內(nèi)在動機。父母提供了最多的幫助,只是通過塑造健康的行為和提供健康的膳食和零食的選擇。

1句意:肥胖青少年嘗試減肥往往不成功,但是最新的一項研究顯示了成功者的秘密。動詞不定式作定語修飾名詞attempts。故填to lose。

2句意:他們這樣做更多是為了他們自己,而不是為了打動他們的同齡人或取悅他們的父母。為某人自己for one’s own。故填加介詞for。

3句意:大多數(shù)父母認為他們的孩子受他人的影響更大。修飾動詞應使用副詞,故填加largely。

4句意:伯明翰大學的一位心理學家說…。此處指某一位,故使用不定冠詞a。

5句意:我們的研究結(jié)果表明,青少年有更多的內(nèi)在動機。finding發(fā)現(xiàn)物,研究成果,為可數(shù)名詞。故填加findings。

6句意:其中一個含義是,父母應該幫助他們的青少年專注于健康的行為。that引導表語從句。在句子中不充當句子成分。故填加that。

7句意:平均來說,參與者體重下降了30磅,從肥胖轉(zhuǎn)移到正常體重。動名詞作狀語,故使用moving 。

8句意:超過百分之60的人認為他們的健康是主要的動機。文章使用一般過去時故填加described。

9句意:在另一次采訪中,幾乎所有的青少年都強調(diào)這是他們自己做出減肥的決定。Owe形容詞性物主代詞,其后應加名詞,故填加decision 。

10句意:父母提供了最多的幫助,只是通過塑造健康的行為和提供健康的膳食和零食的選擇。And連接兩個并列結(jié)構(gòu),根據(jù)“by modeling healthy behaviours” 通過塑造健康的行為,可知應填加providing。

Dear David,
Sorry to learn that you've put on weight. Eat too much food in McDonald's and KFC must be the reason, I guess.
You have to realize that food is not always as healthy as was said in the advertisements. If you know much about them, we will find fried chicken and French fries are rich in fat, sugar and salt. They can make you to gain weight and become sick.
That you ought to have every day are noodles, rice, fruit and vegetables rather than the junk food. Energy-giving food, body-building food and protective food makes up a balanced diet. In word, you must have an idea of how a healthy diet should be and stick to it.
I hope my advices can help you improve your health.
Yours,
Li Ming
