It can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的)for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, "skinny" members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?
Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the "skinny" people are not allowed.
There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.
Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (78)
They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers
.
Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的)windows for privacy, are all important changes.
(79)
Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future
. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.
The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
选项
A、fat
B、healthy
C、friendly
D、polite
答案
A
解析
推断题。题干问的是“第一段的zaftig的意思是什么?”根据定位句“有时候,他们会盯着我们这些,嗯,丰满的人”,zaftig的意思可以在上下文中推测出来,根据前一句的“skinny(皮包骨头的)”可知,zaftig是意思相反的,即“丰满的,胖的”,故选A。
