More than two­thirds of adults in the United States are overweight and half of them are trying to lose weight.According to a recent study，led by Evan Forman，a psychology professor from Drexel University，a smartphone app called OnTrack can predict ahead of time when users are likely to lapse in their weight loss plans and help them stay on track.

People on weight loss plans often experience lapses，which can prevent successful weight loss or even lead to weight regain，according to Forman.The study evaluated the effectiveness of the app among weight loss program participants and individuals attempting to follow an online weight management plan from Weight Watchers for eight weeks.

OnTrack uses advanced statistical methods — machine learning — to learn over time a user's individual patterns of eating.Specifically，it learns patterns that are predictive of staying on one's weight loss plan and patterns that are predictive or lapsing from one's plan.When the app detects the risk of lapsing is high，it sends a special coaching message that matches the reasons someone is at risk.For example，the app can predict a person is eating late at night because of being bored at home with tempting food.The predictions get better over time as the app learns a user's behavioral patterns.

According to Forman，over the course of the study，participants averaged a 3.13 percent weight loss and reduction in unplanned lapses.The next step is clinical trial to confirm the app's ability as a weight loss tool.

Ⅲ.阅读七选五

Five Tips That Help You Fall Asleep Quickly

Lower the room temperature

  1  ．During the sleep，the core temperature decreases，while the temperature of your hands and feet increases.You might be hard to fall asleep if your room is too warm.Setting your thermostat(恒温器)to a cool temperature between 15­23°C could help.

Get on a schedule

Waking up and going to bed at the same time each day can help your biological clock keep a regular schedule.  2  ．So，set your alarm clock at the same time each day and go to bed at relatively the same time daily.

  3 

Using electronic devices late at night is terrible for sleep.Watching TV，playing video games，and using a mobile phone can make it significantly harder for you to fall and stay asleep.You had better disconnect all electronics and put away computers and mobile phones so you can ensure a quiet place，free of distractions(干扰物)．

Read something

Reading could be a good activity to help you calm down before bed.  4  ．But electronic books may produce a kind of light that can make it harder for you to fall asleep.So you had better read a paper book in order to relax and improve your sleep.

Exercise during the day

It is important to maintain a moderate­intensity(强度适中的) exercise routine.The time of the day when you exercise is also critical.To promote better quality sleep，working out early in the morning appears to be better than working out later in the day.  5  ．

A．Our body temperature changes when we fall asleep

B．Change your biological clock

C．Overtraining has been linked to poor sleep

D．Turn off all electronics

E．Therefore，moderate exercise in the morning could benefit your sleep

F．It seems that bedtime reading may promote longer sleep for you

G．Once your body adjusts to this schedule，it will be easier to fall asleep and wake up around the same time every day

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了五条帮助快速入睡的建议。

1．A　[根据空后“During the sleep，the core temperature decreases，while the temperature of your hands and feet increases.”可知，睡觉时人体的温度会变化，A项引出下文，且符合本段主旨。故选A项。]

2．G　[上文“Waking up and going to bed at the same time each day can help your biological clock keep a regular schedule.”提到要养成规律的作息时间表，结合后文“So，set your alarm clock at the same time each day and go to bed at relatively the same time daily.”可知，空处应是说规律的作息时间表的好处，故选G项。]

3．D　[空处是段落小标题，根据本段首句“Using electronic devices late at night is terrible for sleep.”和最后一句“You had better disconnect all electronics and put away computers and mobile phones so you can ensure a quiet place，free of distractions.”可知，本段主要讲电子设备干扰睡眠，因此要关闭它们。故选D项。]

4．F　[本段是描述阅读和睡眠的关系，空前一句“Reading could be a good activity to help you calm down before bed.”提到睡前阅读是有助于平静的有益活动，空处应是进一步描述睡前阅读的具体好处，故选F项。]

5．E　[空前两句“The time of the day when you exercise is also critical.To promote better quality sleep，working out early in the morning appears to be better than working out later in the day.”提到，锻炼的时间也很重要，为了提高睡眠质量，早上锻炼比晚些时候锻炼效果更好。由此可推知，设空处解释早上锻炼有助于睡眠。E项“因此，早上适度运动有利于睡眠。”总结上文。故选E项。]
