分析 本文主要讲述减肥的策略．
解答 GEDAB
36 G 根据前句"Have you ever been…pounds？"为疑问句，意为"你曾经因为减掉几斤而激动过吗？"，和后文"And to help you …strategies"意为"要想控制你的体重，你需要一些策略"，and前后句子意思应该相仿．可推测此空即可承接上句的问题，也与减肥策略相关．故选G
37 E 根据后文"Do I have to purchase special…weight loss？"这两个问题都是关于自己的问题，即问问题是为了了解自己．可得该空是对后文的总结，表达只有更好的了解自己，才能选择适合自己的减肥方法．故选E．
38 D 根据前句"Get real"以及后文"Don't burden…exceptation"实际一点，不要将自己负担在不切实际的幻想之下，可知要有实际性的减肥目标，故选D
39 A 根据后文"To mantain your weight，you …burn"，可知要做到平衡才有利于减肥，故选A．
40 B 根据前文"Weigh yourself weekly"，"Weighing daily won't show you the big picture．"可知该段讲的是要每周称一次体重，因为每天称体重效果不大"，该空为对该段的总结句．故选B．
