问题     It’s no secret that some of the resolutions that many of us vowed to pursue in the new year—eat healthy, lose weight, quit smoking, save more money—have already fallen by the wayside.
    Many of them are likely the same resolutions that we abandoned last January. And it’s a good thing for those who sell health club memberships, quit-smoking programs and other products that help us think we can improve our lives.
    Many gyms see new memberships double in January, making up for the third of their members who do not renew each year.
    And many who sign up in January will be no-shows by February.
    " If I try one quick fix and it doesn’t work, I may be more likely to try the next quick fix,". Lisa Lahey, who coaches executives how to sustain behavior change, told The Times.
    The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge doesn’t offer any quick fixes, just a 12-hour schedule full of exercise, a 1,200-calories-a-day diet and a fee of $2,000 a week. The resort teaches its clients that " weight management" is a combination of fitness, diet and emotional health.
    " Given my recent weight gain, and the fact that I was turning 50," Jennifer Conlin wrote in The Times, "I wanted to start a program that would make 2012 the year I finally got in shape. "
    "For years, the advice to the overweight people has been that we simply need to eat less and exercise more," Tara Parker-Pope wrote. " While there is truth to this guidance, it fails to take into account that the human body continues to fight against weight loss long after dieting has stopped. This translates into a sobering (令人清醒的) reality: once we become fat, most of us, despite our best efforts, will probably stay fat. "
    Of course this revelation (揭示) , if proven true by further study, is not good news for the weight-loss industry. But chances are it won’t have much impact on the human tendency to resolve to get to the gym more and avoid chocolate cake when the clock strikes midnight on December 31.
What is special about the Biggest Loser Resort’s weight management program?

选项 A、It gives top priority to emotional health.
B、It does not resort to any quick fixes.
C、It focuses on one’s behavior change.
D、It is not cheap but extremely effective.

答案B

解析 事实细节题。第六段第一句指出,一家名为Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge的健身俱乐部从不提供任何速效对策,只包括一个排满12小时的锻炼日程表,一种一天消耗1 200卡路里的饮食限制和一周2 000美元的费用。也就是说,这家减肥中心的特别之处就在于它不像其他减肥中心那样依靠速效对策进行减肥训练,因此答案为B)。
