In today’s busy world it can be difficult to sit down for a meal.
However, this fast-paced lifestyle comes at a heavy cost to both our weights and health. According to research, slower eaters were less likely to become obese and less likely to develop metabolic syndrome—a combination of disorders that increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and strokes. Those disorders include high blood pressure, high fasting blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol levels.
Fast eating is associated with an increased risk of being overweight or obese. So it’s no surprise that both chewing less and eating quickly have been linked to consuming more food and calories.
Eating too fast results in eating more because we take in too many calories before realizing we have eaten enough. It takes about 20 minutes from the time we start eating for our brain to send out signals of fullness.
Leisurely eating allows ample time to trigger the signal from our brain that we are full. And feeling full translates into eating less. How to eat slower? First, choose the right environment for your meals without distractions—that means no eating in the car or in front of the TV or computer. Second, take small bites and chew thoroughly.
Conversations with family or friends are a fun, no-fail way to stretch out a mealtime. Finally, don’t forget to accompany your food with sips of water. Slow down your eating pace, and you will not only become healthier but also enjoy your mealtimes.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
(A) How eating too fast can harm us (B) How we can eat faster and more
(C) How to prevent the risks of heart disease
(D) How to enjoy mealtimes with friends and family
32. Why does eating too fast lead to overeating?
(A) Since our lives are too fast-paced
(B) Since we are too distracted while eating
(C) Since we don’t have enough time to eat our meal
(D) Since there’s a delay before our brain realizes we are full

You may know that regular exercise and a healthy diet can extend your life. But have you ever heard that speaking more than one language has healthy benefits for your brain? According to a team at Baycrest’s Rotman Research Institute in Canada, there is a clear link between bilingualism and a delayed onset of the symptoms of Alzheimer ’s and other forms of dementia. Dementia is a medical condition that affects especially old people, causing the gradual loss of memory and the ability to think clearly. Alzheimer ’s disease is the
most common form of dementia.
In the study of the Canadian team, they examined the medical records of 211 people who suffered from Alzheimer ’s disease.
Typically, such patients become confused easily about times and dates, have trouble remembering recently acquired information, and find it difficult to solve problems and make plans. Among the 211 patients participating in the study, about half spoke two languages and the other half spoke only one language. Researchers found that the group that spoke two languages showed signs of Alzheimer ’s five years later than the group that spoke only one language. This interesting result indicates that speaking two languages can delay the onset of symptoms of dementia for a significant period of time.
As stated by Dr. Freedman, Director of the Memory Clinic at Baycrest, those who regularly communicate in two languages have stronger control of language in their brains. People with dementia often lose control of their speech, so the enhanced language control helps them keep their speech ability longer.
36.What type of text is this?
(A) A scientific research (B) A case of speech loss (C) A recent medical policy (D) A talk on brain function
37.According to this passage, what happens to people who have dementia?
(A) They regularly do exercise.
(B) Their mental skills weaken.

(D) Their sight and hearing decline.

(B) Having a habit of making plans extends normal brain function.
(C) Young people are more likely to suffer from Alzheimer ’s disease.
(D) About half the 211 Alzheimer’s patients showed delayed symptoms.
39.Based on this passage, what would doctors recommend a person do to delay the onset of dementia symptoms?
(A) Take plenty of exercise (B) Learn a second language (C) Avoid high-calorie desserts (D) Go to the hospital regularly
40.What is the best title for the passage?
(A) How to Keep Healthy (B) You Are What You Eat (C) A Secret about Alzheimer ’s (D) Bilingualism and Dementia
