问题     It can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的)for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, "skinny" members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?
    Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the "skinny" people are not allowed.
    There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.
    Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (78) They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.
    Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的)windows for privacy, are all important changes.
     (79) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction. [br] We can infer from the first two paragraphs that________.

选项 A、most large gym chains really don’t want members to show up frequently
B、overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industry
C、regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programs
D、overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym

答案 B

解析 综合分析题。题干问的是“从第一段和第二段我们可以得出什么结论?”根据两个定位句,可知“体型庞大的人去健身房会有挫折感和不合群的感觉”,即选项B。A项和D项文中没有提及,C项与文中第二段最后一句的“瘦子免进的区域”相矛盾。故选B。
