《2025年新高考领航课时练习高中英语必修第二册外研版》

B
Many of us like to eat out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty（丰盛的）,fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged（充满糖分的） desserts,which are not easily cooked at home.
The recent rise of light meals,however,gives diners a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily,low-calorie,low-fat and high-fiber（高纤维的）meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.
The country saw a rapid expansion（扩张） of restaurants specializing in light meals,from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report,the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 per cent from the previous year.
Having a light meal,however,doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle,a typical light dish avoids oily,salty and spicy food. Instead,it contains things like boiled meat,whole grains,fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients（营养成分） are the theme of the light meal.
These dishes contribute to keeping healthy and controlling weight. That’s probably why so many young people are into them. Diners see it as a great way to avoid gaining weight.
“After eating several light meals,I felt my appetite（胃口） has shrunk（缩小）. I now prefer light flavors,” said Zou Jing,a college teacher. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef,eggs,corn,mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food,says Walter Willett,chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health，US. “Diet quality,not quantity,is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.
So the next time you have a party with friends,try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.
