Unit 12 Culture Shock 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight.Unfortunately，that message has not gotten through to the average American，who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion.The Centers for Disease Control，for example，found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet. In rejecting exercise，some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts；for example，one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼)．Even exercise professionals concede (＝admit) half a point here.“Exercise_by_itself_is_a_very_tough_way_to_lose_weight，” says York Onnen，program director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
