To some it’s a dream job — eating delicious meals for free and then writing about them. But for some food critics, their eyes aren’t the only thing that gets wide with yet another feast.
Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arizona Republic, said when she first started her job she began to gain weight. "I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day," she says. Nine years later, keeping her weight steady and her health intact is a daily battle. If she knows she will be going to a tasting at a bakery or eating a four-course meal, she usually eats fruit or salads throughout the day. Now she is always keeping track of what’s in the food she eats and she says most people don’t even look at or consider it. At one tasting session alone, she says, upward of 1,000 calories is often added to her day. That’s about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult.
But even though she’s devised a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldn’t agree more. "When I’m at home or not eating for work, it’s healthy food to the extreme," says Phil Vettel, who’s been a restaurant critic for the Chicago Tribune for 19 years.
Vettel, who eats dinner at four restaurants each week, says unlike most professions, he doesn’t have the luxury of choice. "If I’m going out to eat, I can’t choose the healthiest thing on the menu, I have to eat what they’re bringing me." While Vettel exercises when he can, Joe Yonan, a food editor at The Washington Post, has intensified his exercise habits since he started the job two years ago. Yonan says he realized early on that he was gaining weight and promptly hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his aerobic (增氧健身法的) training three to five times a week.
Still, it’s a struggle that many Americans might envy. After all, it’s one thing to get your calories from lobster (龙虾) tails or a delicate chocolate souffle (蛋奶酥) and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers.
By the last sentence in paragraph one, the author means that food critics______.
选项
A、are impressed by delicious food
B、have eyes wider than others
C、have many jobs to choose
D、are likely to gain weight
答案
D
解析
第一段的两句话感情色彩截然对立。第一句话描述一部分人对美食家这个工作的羡慕,第二句话用But引出的则是美食家的担心:面对美食,眼睛不是唯一会变圆的地方。从后面四段的描述可以看出,另一处变圆的地方指的是身体,故答案为[D]。[A]讲出了话语中含有的一层意思,但却不是But转折句想要表达的与前一句对立的意思,不符合文章主旨的要求。
