Question

Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite is true for men, whose long?term health benefits when they move in with a female partner.

Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.

It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.

Women still have the strongest long?term influence over the couple's diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.

The report, by Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.

The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.

Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.

Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.

Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”

1.both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half. It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables,”可知，同居時，男人會為了迎合另一半而改變飲食習(xí)慣，吃更多的清淡食品（女人喜歡的食物），如色拉、水果和蔬菜。故該題正確答案為D.

2.meals（飲食），而其后例舉之物“salads, fruit and vegetables”，故可推知，light意為：“清淡的；不油膩的”，所以正確答案為C.

3.while the same finding has not been observed in men.”可知選項B錯誤；選項D文中并未有所說明；而根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many.”（很多情侶表示，食物是兩人關(guān)系的"紐帶"，共享晚餐對于很多情侶來說十分重要。）故該題正確答案為C.

4.The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”（這項研究表明，你的另一半對于你的生活方式有很大影響；因此，想擁有健康生活的人們要考慮到這個因素。）可知，女性應(yīng)更加注意她們的伴侶對她們的影響。故A選項正確。而D選項是文章第二句直接告知，并不是推理出的。故該題正確答案為A.
