You pay less to eat at this time.

W: Not yet．Are there a lot of changes？

M: There sure are．Instead of paying one fee for all meals for the whole school year，we will be able to choose seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals for a week marked on it.

W: That's a big change. And a complicated system.

M: Yeah. But it will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they don't have to pay for meals they don't eat.

W: So what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time？

M: It's better for them too. Because the more meals you contract, the cheaper each one is.

W: I see. Still sounds complicated.

M: True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the ten meals.

W: Why is that？

M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten meal plan gives me lunch and dinner each weekday at a fairly low price.

W: And what about the weekend when you are on campus？

M: Well, there are often guests on campus at weekends. So they allow you to buy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher in that way. But it will still be less for me to pay single prices on the weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen-meal-a-week plan.

W: Oh, I'll have to sit down and figure out how I can get the best deal.

(20)

W: And what about the weekend when you are on campus？

M: Well, there are often guests on campus on weekends. So they allow you to huy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher in that way. But I am away so much that it will still be less money for me to pay single prices on tile weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen meal a week plan.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： There are many ways to lose weight. First of all, start small. Small changes are a lot easier to stick with than drastic ones. Try reducing the size of the portions you eat and giving up regular soda for a week. Once you have that down, start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

Second, stop eating when you're full. Lots of people eat when they're bored, lonely, or stressed, or keep eating long after they're full out of habit. Try to pay attention as you eat and stop when you're full. Slowing down can help because it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to recognize how much is in your stomach. Sometimes taking a break before going for seconds can keep you from eating another serving.

Avoid eating when you feel upset or bored, try to find something else to do instead (a walk around the block or a trip to the gym are good alternatives). Many people find it's helpful to keep a diary of what they eat and when. Reviewing the diary later can help them identify the emotions they have when they overeat or whether they have unhealthy habits. A registered dietitian can give you pointers on how to do this.

Third, eat less more often. Many people find that eating a couple of small snacks throughout the day helps them to make healthy choices at meals. Stick a couple of healthy snacks in your backpack so that you can have one or two snacks during the day. Adding healthy snacks to your three squares and eating smaller portions when you sit down to dinner can help you cut calories without feeling deprived.

(27)

A．Because it takes time before your brain realizes that you're full.

B．Because the slower you eat, the less you absorb.

C．Because it's healthier to eat slowly.

D．Because it helps to hum the fat in your body.
