Question

My cousin Mark is much healthier now. But he used to have some bad habits. For one thing, he was a couch potato. He is one of those overweigh people who sit on a sofa and eat junk food while they watch TV. He used to watch TV for six or seven hours some days. Now, he never watches TV for more than two hours. Five years ago, he didn't use to exercise. In fact, he hated exercise! He didn't use to watch exercise programmes on TV. Now, he exercises every morning. He loves to exercise now, because it makes him feel wonderful.

Mark used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day three years ago. Now he only misses smoking when he is nervous. He chews gum at those times.

Mark also does something else to lose weight. He used to eat lots of meat, but now he always likes fruit and vegetables, so he is mostly a vegetarian now. (85) So, by changing his diet and doing daily exercise, he is in much better shape than before.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了Mark以前有許多不良的習(xí)慣，喜歡坐在沙發(fā)上吃著垃圾食品的人，但是現(xiàn)在他改變了很多，每天都堅(jiān)持鍛煉，吸煙也減少了，身體比以前更強(qiáng)壯了。

1.1】根據(jù)he was a couch potato. He is one of those overweigh people who sit on a sofa and eat junk food while they watch TV. 可知a couch potato 是一個(gè)坐在沙發(fā)上看著電視吃著垃圾食品的人，故用a person who sits on a sofa and eats junk food while he or she watches TV。

2.2】根據(jù)Now, he exercises every morning. He loves to exercise now 可知他喜歡鍛煉的節(jié)目了，故用He likes them now．

3.3】根據(jù)Now he only misses smoking when he is nervous.可知他緊張的時(shí)候他就想吸煙，故用When he is nervous．

4.4】根據(jù)he always likes fruit and vegetables可知他成了素食主義者，故用素食主義者。

5.5】daily exercise每天鍛煉；changing his diet改變飲食。通過改變飲食習(xí)慣和每天的鍛煉，他的體形比以前好多了。
