A
As a nation, we are getting bigger and eating more. But there are effective ways to control your appetite and eat only as much as you need.
Keep away from low-nutrition snacks
That means ice cream, sweets, chips biscuits, cakes and any other salty orsugary snacks you eat between meals. Although we have a tendency to eat them, you can learn to live without these unhealthy-and-fattening-additions to your diet. Try to make it a habit to eat them only when offered at social events or as a special treat.
Leave half an hour between main course and dessert
Having a break between courses gives your brain time to receive the fullness signal and make you more likely to refuse the sweet stuff. And, in fact, as soon as you feel the first signals of fullness, remove your plate from the table. That will tell your brain that food time is over.
Make yours a small helping
Put an end to super-sized portions. You won’t be missing out—today’s small was the medium or large of a few decade ago. Select or serve yourself a modest portion and eat it slowly enjoying the flavors. Before you know it, small will feel just right. What’s more, ordering the smaller size leads to wearing the smaller size.
Distract yourself
When you find yourself hunting down food, even though you’re even hungry, do something else for 20 minutes. Drink a large glass of water as thirst is often confused with a desire for food. Choose something that engages your brain as well as your hands, such as writing a letter or listening to a song. You could also go for a short walk or do something that you enjoy. If you think you really are hungry, set an alarm for 20 minutes’ time and if you still want to eat when it rings, fine. If not, the urge will have passed.
1. Which way suits you better if you tend to order a large portion of food?
A. Distract yourself.
B. Make yours a small helping.
C. Keep away from low-nutrition snacks.
D. Leave half an hour between main course and dessert.
2. Why should you have a break between main course and dessert?
A. To give people time to chat.
B. To have a good appetite for sweet stuff.
C. To reduce appetite for dessert.
D. To give the host time to remove your plate.
3. When you find yourself pursuing for food, what should you do?
A. Eat some biscuits.
B. Eat some sugary snacks.
C. Have some soft drinks.
D. Listen to a lovely melody.

In particular, AI is used in scenes where actor shave to produce certain stunts （特技）to develop setups in the studio artificially. VFX is used to later change the internal studio backgroundsto a different place in the movie.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项One form of social prejudice against older people is the beliefthat they cannot understand or use modern technology.____16____Isn't it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon by their children and grandchildren?
Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement.____17____Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.
When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn't believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun.____18____Kate Stevens, aged 72, says, “I find playing such games very relaxing. It's not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”
____19____There's a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation(模拟) games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during awinter storm.
Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don't have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better.____20____Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.
A. This is where I don’t agree
B. This couldn't be further from the truth.
C. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games.
D. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health.
E. This prejudice is based on the following research conducted by some psychologists inChicagoUniversity.
F. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters.
G. Another development that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market.
