The secret of staying slim could be as simple as keeping your mind on your meals.

Research suggests that 【1】 (free) ourselves from distractions and concentrating completely on the food that is in front of us, 【2】 (help) us stay in shape. Such "mindful eating" ensures that the mind is in tune with(協(xié)調(diào)) the body, enabling it to "hear" the chemical messages【3】 tell it that we are full. Digestion involves a complex series of 【4】 (signal) between the gut(腸道) and the nervous system and it takes about 20 minutes for the brain _ 【5】 (tell) that the body has eaten enough. This means that if someone eats too quickly, the signals will come slowly, leading to overeating. Scientists say that distractions make it 【6】 (hard) for us to remember what we have eaten. This absent-mindedness stops us from feeling full _【7】 sends us reaching for some snacks later on. It is thought that our memory of what we have eaten plays a key role 【8】 controlling appetite. This means that distractions stop us remembering 【9】 detail of what we have eaten, leaving us feeling hungry. Before snacking, dieters should ask themselves if they are really hungry and if not, distract themselves by going for a walk or reading.

Done 【10】 (proper), mindful eating may not only leave you slim, but also make you enjoy mealtimes.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】freeing

【2】helps

【3】that/which.

【4】signals

【5】to tell

【6】harder.

【7】and.

【8】in.

【9】the

【10】properly.

【解析】

【1】freeing 動名詞短語freeing.…作that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句的主語。

【2】helps help是句子的謂語動詞，主語是動名詞短語freeing ourselves... and concentrating completely.，故用單數(shù)第三人稱形式。

【3】that/which.引導(dǎo)定語從句，并在從句中作主語，修飾先行詞messages，故填that/which．

【4】signals.可數(shù)名詞signal前有a series of修飾，故填復(fù)數(shù)形式。

【5】to tell. 句型It rakes…time to do sth.“做某事花……時間”為固定句式，it是形式主語，不定式是真正主語。

【6】harder.本句意為“分散注意力使得我們記住自己吃了什么變得更加困難”，故填形容詞比較級，在make后作賓語補足語。

【7】and.連接stops...and sends... 兩個并列謂語，故填連詞and。

【8】in. play a role in表示“在……中扮演角色／起作用”，是固定短語。

【9】the.特指“我們吃過什么”這一細節(jié)，detail前用定冠詞。

【10】properly.修飾動詞done用副詞。
