Many people who want to lose weight often choose to go on a diet.But is this really the best method？With celebrities speaking about new diets that have helped them slim down in advertisements，
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章旨在说明健康均衡的饮食是最合理有效的减肥方式。
Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读
more and more people are turning to dieting.Shops have noticed this trend and are stocking their shelves with diet products such as diet milkshakes，snack bars and even diet pills.But，such products and the diets they are associated with are often found to be extremely unhealthy.
Most of these popular diets work by cutting out a certain nutrient from your food intake.For example，some diets work by cutting out carbohydrates.This means the body must use its fat reserves for energy.This might help you lose weight.However，by cutting a particular food group out of your diet，you are starving your body of a nutrient that it needs，which could leave you feeling weak，tired or even bad-tempered.Furthermore，these diets are often unsuccessful in the long run.
Generally，following a strict diet or cutting out a particular food group is not an effective way to lose weight.One of the most effective ways is to cut down on calories.The recommended calorie intake for an adult male is 2,500.If a man consumes more than 2,500 calories each day，then he is likely to gain weight.However，if he consumes less，then he is likely to lose weight，especially if he exercises.
So，instead of spending money on trendy diet pills or special weight loss foods，try to eat healthy balanced meals containing foods from all food groups.Proteins，carbohydrates，fats，vitamins and minerals all play an important role in staying healthy，which is why they all should be included in your meals.Of course，some foods can be eaten in moderation as an occasional snack.For example，a bar of chocolate every once in a while won’t cause you any problems.So，next time a friend of yours tells you that they are going on a diet，let them know that eating a healthy balanced diet is a much better choice.

While some people might view breakfast as optional，most Shanghainese，despite living in arguably the most fast-paced city in China，won’t be caught skipping this meal no matter how busy they are.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了上海推行的早餐项目为居民购买早餐提供便利。
In fact，Shanghai was even named by the Ministry of Commerce as a pilot city for the National Breakfast Demonstration Project in 2011.According to the authorities，the project is aimed at improving the quality of life and making high-quality breakfast options more accessible to the masses.Since the beginning of the project，the city has built 24 industrialized and standardized central kitchens which supply food to 7,800 stores selling breakfast items.By August 2020，there were more than 20,000 shops in the city offering breakfast food.
In the current stage of the ongoing project，the focus has shifted from increasing options to improving the convenience of purchasing this meal.
To do so，the local government issued a guideline last August to promote digital breakfast services in convenience stores，mobile food trucks，retailers，and Internet panies have also been encouraged to come up with new nutritious meals and adopt the use of eco-friendly packaging materials.
For office workers like Qian Li，buying breakfast no longer involves having to brave long queues.Rather，all she has to do now is place an order using the app for the Ego convenience store near her workplace before picking up her freshly made meal from a smart locker.
The guideline has also resulted in developments like cooperative deals between e-commerce giant and three major food truck enterprises.According to this agreement，mobile breakfast trucks，including those operated by local food company LiangFood，can establish a digital presence on take-out and delivery platform，allowing customers to order their meals online without having to queue.
The introduction of more healthy breakfast options is also in preparation.To date,12 enterprises have developed 208 nutritious breakfast sets catering to specific groups of people—patients with diabetes，the elderly，children and teenagers.
