九年级 unit 8 We’re trying to save the earth! A卷 二、阅读理解（共30分，每题2分） A Recently, binge (暴食) is becoming a major health problem in America. “As soon as I came home I′d throw down my backpack and just start going through the refrigerator and start eating. Sandwiches, cookies, candy bars—I′d just continuously eat until I went to bed,” says Matt Wymer, 18. Matt was a binge eater. “You know we start at a very young age. You fall and hurt your knees. Your mother may say “Oh, here, we′ll go to get some ice cream, that?ll make you feel better.” Or when you go to the doctor, something bad happens: The doctor says, “Oh, here?s something that?s comforting? and you get a candy,” says Marilyn Tanner, a doctor. Matt looked for comfort because he was always laughed at because of his weight. “There’d be days when I′d come and pick him up from school and he′d get in the car and start crying before I asked him anything,” says Cathy Wymer, Matt’s mother. “I′d just feel better after I ate a lot,” says Matt. Experts say the first step of treatment for binge eaters is to help them find other ways, besides food, to feel better. “There are about five basic ways: You write, you talk, you cry, you exercise or you laugh,” says Genie Burnett, a psychologist. With the help of his doctor, Matt started a diet and a daily workout. He′s lost more than 150 pounds, he′s healthier and he says he′d be more confident. ( ) 1.
