新視野大學英語視聽說教程第一冊 Unit 6 Let’s Talk

Doctor: Well, your test results are back, Jim. Your blood tests are fine. Everything seems OK.

Jim: Huh. I still don’t have any energy, and I get headaches all the time.

Doctor: Mm. I see your weight is 180 pounds. You’ve gained five pounds since your last visit. That’s a little too much for your weight.

Jim: That’s funny. I’ve been eating the same as always.

Doctor: I think maybe we should talk about it.

Jim: Oh, well, I mean…now I eat the things students usually eat at school.

Doctor: The usual things?

Jim: Yeah, you know. In the morning, I grab a few doughnuts and a coffee on the way to school.

Doctor: Uh-huh. And for lunch?

Jim: Uh, a couple of hot dogs, fries, and a Coke…maybe an ice cream on the way back.

Doctor: And dinner?

Jim: Pizza, and a Coke.

Doctor: What about exercise?

Jim: Exercise? I’m just not into exercise. I just like to watch sports on TV. Anyway I wouldn’t have time for exercise…too much homework, you know.

Doctor: You should change your eating habits before you have a serious weight problem. I’ll give you this pamphlet with diet suggestions to follow, and I also want you to do some walking and some one-hour workouts at the gym. Maybe three times a week.

Jim: Diet? Exercise? But can’t I just take some pills to give me more energy and get rid of my headaches?
