[2] According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their lifestyle. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.

extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing. 破解 生僻词汇 2 ①can aux. 能,可以 v. 罐装 破解方法 通过解释 通过原文“Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.”的描述可知此处指美国人通常去大超市购买这一周所需的罐装和冷冻食品。can在此被用作动词,意为“罐装”。 ②obesity n.肥胖,过度肥胖 破解方法 通过解释 由最后一段中第一个破折号后的“or extreme overweight”可知,这是对obesity一词的解释。故其意思是“过度肥胖”。 破解 长难句 3 They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something
