【正确答案】在过去的20年中,英国家庭生活和家庭结构发生了巨大的变化,在很多情况下传统的模式已经不复存在了。最显著的变化是由离婚引起的,现在有多达三分之二的婚姻都以离婚收场。同样,职业母亲的数量也大幅增加,这就导致了托儿所的增加,但这些机构很昂贵并且在很多地方也很难找到。
【答案解析】[解析]
The past 20 years have seen enormous changes in the lives and structures of families in Britain, and the traditional model is no longer true in many cases. The biggest change has been caused by divorce. As many as 2 out of 3 marriages now end in divorce. There has also been a huge rise in the number of mothers who work. This has caused an increase in childcare facilities, though they are very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas.
【正确答案】对于大多数人来说,有效节食并不容易。有些人在经历了数周失败并且不快的尝试后,往往会放弃。一次成功的节食不仅要求有短期规划,如吃些指定的食物类型,同样也需要精神能源。不要把你的车变为餐厅,也不能在你的办公桌上吃午饭。要在餐桌上吃饭,最好关上电视。节食也意味着合理的饮食和多加锻炼,两者缺一不可。
【答案解析】[解析]
To most people, it's not easy to make a diet really work. Some of them simply give it up after several weeks of unsuccessful and usually unpleasant attempts. A successful diet requires not only short-term planning, like eating some prescribed types of foods, but mental energy as well. Don't let your car be your dining room or your desk be where you have lunch. Eat at a table and preferably with the television off. It also means a combination of eating smart and exercising more.
