To some it’s a dream job — eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them. But for some food critics, their eyes aren’t the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast.
Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arizona Republic, said when she first started her job she began to gain weight. "I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day," she says. Nine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact is a daily battle. If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruit or salads throughout the day. Now she is always keeping track of what’s in the food she eats and she says most people don’t even look at or consider it. At one tasting session alone, she says, upward of 1,000 calories is often added to her day. That’s about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult.
But even though she’s devised a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldn’t agree more. "When I’m at home or not eating for work, it’s healthy food to the extreme," says Phil Vettel, who’s been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years.
Vettel, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he doesn’t have the luxury of choice. "If I’m going out to eat, I can’t choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat what they’re bringing me." While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has intensified his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago. Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and promptly hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his aerobic (增氧健身法的) training three to five times a week.
Still, it’s a struggle that many Americans might envy. After all, it’s one thing to get your calories from lobster (龙虾) tails or a delicate chocolate souffle (蛋奶酥) and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers. [br] What can we infer from the last paragraph?
选项
A、Americans envy those food critics for what they eat.
B、However fancy the food is, the gaining of calories is the same.
C、The calories from lobster and souffle are good for health.
D、Everybody should take the calories in their food carefully.
答案
A
解析
注意末段的第一个词Still.第一段中提到了一些人对于美食家工作的羡慕(a dream job),然后就一直在说美食家们在自己工作当中面对体重问题的困扰。末段则又回到了第一段中曾经提及的信息(many Americans might envy),Still在这里的意思是“尽管那样,虽然如此”,表示后面的内容与紧接此段的前述内容不同,该段讲的是很多美国人对美食家所吃美食的羡慕,故答案为[A]。[B]内容本身正确,但不是最后一段要说的意思,与题干要求不符。[C]没有确实依据。[D]不是本段中内容的引申。
