问题     There’s nothing radical about the idea that governments should intervene in the food business. Governments and people seem to agree that【C1】______the safety and stability of the food supply is part of the state’s【C2】______. But obesity (肥胖) is a more complicated【C3】______than food safely. It is not about ensuring that people don’t get poisoned: it is about changing their behavior. Should governments be trying to do anything about it【C4】______?
    There is a bad reason for doing something, and a couple of good ones. The bad reason is that governments should help citizens look【C5】______themselves. People, the argument【C6】______. are misled by their genes, which are【C7】______trying to pack away a few more calories just in case of a famine around the【C8】______. Governments should help guide them【C9】______better eating habits. 【C10】______that argument is no better than it is in any other area where people have a【C11】______of being sensible or silly. People are constantly torn by the battle【C12】______their better and worse selves. It’s【C13】______them, not governments, to decide who should win.
    A better argument for intervention (干预) is that dietary habits are【C14】______early in childhood. 【C15】______people get fat, it is hard for them to get thin. The state, which has some 【C16】______for moulding minors, should try to make sure that its small citizens aren’t【C17】______sugar at primary school. A second【C18】______argument for intervention is that thin people subsidise (补贴) fat people through health care. If everybody is forced to carry the【C19】______of the seriously fat, then everybody has an interest in seeing them【C20】______down. [br] 【C19】
选项 A、pressure
B、weight
C、load
D、restraint
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。由前面提到的瘦人通过卫生保健对胖人进行了补贴可推知，瘦人需要分担胖人  造成的负担，故答案为[B]weight“负担”。[A]pressure“压力；压迫感”；[C]load常用来指精神上的苦恼或  人的工作量；[D]restraint常与on连用，表示“限制／约束……”。
