Do you love holidays but hate the increasing weight（体重）that follows? You are not alone.

Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.

Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have a small, low-fat snack. This may help you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.

Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.

Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.

If you have a sweet tooth, try mints（薄荷）and fruits. They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate.

Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off more calories.

（1）Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ________.

A.make you worry about your foods

六、任务型阅读

17. 请阅读下面一篇关于“能吃的小镇”的文章，根据所提供的信息，完成信息卡。

If you plan to travel, please think about Todmorden. A small town in England is teaching the world how important it is to grow your own food.

From the churchyard to the fire station, along the sidewalks and in school gardens, fruit and vegetables grow in any open space. There are apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, cabbages and carrots, here and there. Everyone can pick them for free.

Eight years ago, a woman named Pam in Todmorden made her rose garden a wonderland. She planted vegetables, knocked down the garden wall and put up a sign saying, "Help yourself!" Today, Pam has completely changed the town. A new town has been born, which is called "Incredible Edible（可食用的）Todmorden".

Pam explained why she thought out the popular idea. "It's possible and positive. Many people know we have to change, but how we do that is a question."

So one day, she gathered all the villagers together. They decided to do something different at once. They didn't write reports. They didn't ask for permission. They just did it. Only a short time later, Todmorden became a big garden full of fruit and vegetables. In Todmorden, there is a motto: If you eat, you're in.

But that's not all. There are more than 700 edible towns appearing around the world, from Canada to Mali. People change the way they think about food and protect the environment at the same time.
