But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives.

Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when theyre in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when its time to repaint, go blue.Dont forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while youre at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.12.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_.A. their home forts B. their body shapeB. house buying D. healthy diets13.A home environment in blue can help people_.A. digest food better B.regain their appetitesC.burn more calories D.reduce food intake14.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Use smaller spoons. B.Play fast music.C. Eat quickly. D.Turn down the lights.15. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Effects of Self-Consciousness B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Is Your House Making You Fat D.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.16 That is a risk.
