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] Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

选项 A、Improving Women’s Self-confidence through Exercises
B、The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its Customers
C、The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New Directions
D、Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight People

答案 D

解析 分析题。题干问的是“下列哪个最适合做本文的标题?”根据定位句“如果它能够帮助我们这些体型大的人多运动并提高我们的健康水平,那就是在正确的方向上的一次进步。”可知,本文主要讨论的是为超重者专设的健身房及其作用。A、B选项与本文无关,C项文中有提及但过于笼统,D项最适合,故选D。
