Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you gain or lose weight. 36 Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
37 Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for when people are in poorly-lit places, they are more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
38 Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. 39 However, cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
40 People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, and while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat.
A. Mind the colors of your room.
B. You will enjoy your home environment.
C. Don’t forget the clock.
D. Open the curtains and turn up the lights.
E. Listen to some light music.
F. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more delicious.
G. You can make your environment work for you.
( 2010年高考英语北京卷) 答案：CBFDA
代词妙用：代词指代前面提到的thing ， 所以只要找到与代词含义一致的词就可搞定。
71空格后面出现“It's similar to the music you listen to，”那么我们只要分析出其中的“it ”的具体指代即可，通过题目及略读下文，我们很容易知道该文介绍一种音乐，而且第一段故作悬念，一直未给出其名字，所以我们只要找到选项中包含音乐一词而没有点名缪扎克一词的即可，很容易锁定BC 选项，因为B 项意义与下文相去甚远，故舍B 取C 没商量。
75空格后出现“They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time.”，同理，我们就要确定“they ”的具体指代，首先由于“say ”的出现，我们锁定“they ”为人的复数，所以轻松锁定ADF ，所谓真金不怕火来炼，D 显然逻辑不通，F 由于其主语也为人，段落第一句永远不会出现意思不明的代词(we， you 除外，因为它们可以明确指代广义的人) ，故轻松排除F 选出真金A 。
72此题虽然不是明显的后文出现代词，但其前亦有代词出现，“It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning，”下文承接上文，肯定有联系，找出“it ”的具体指代-the music， 轻松选出B 项。(注：也可应用词汇复现法)
词汇复现法：情非得已时选择的一种方法，知道与前后文中有词汇重复的选项即可，有时也可指含义一致的词汇，如72
73前文中“but others are happy when their songs are chosen”有“their songs”， F 项亦有相同词汇出现，放进去，意思通晓明白，搞定。
74后文中“Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.有”percent more“，D 项亦有相同词汇出现，且意思连贯，选出即可。
72题中前句中出现”when people are more tired. “能够与”tired “相对应的四选项中只有”energy “，累了对应能量，亦可做出此题。
