Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．C;3．D;4．B;5．A;
解析：

(1)	diet一般指特种饮食，后面所述都是避免增加脂肪的食物。go on a diet指“节食”。
(2)	chocolate和cream cakes都是他们过去喜欢的，且易使人发胖的食物。
(3)	短文第二段中有“To diet, they had to eat salads．”。
(4)	短文第一段中写道当Manuel哭的时候，His mother felt very sorry for him。
(5)	spider是“蜘蛛”，“Spider Legs(蜘蛛腿)”，与他讨厌的“Fatso(胖家伙)”相比，当然更喜欢这个新称呼啦。
