Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight fluctuations. 1 , when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it 2 .
As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active to focusing 3 on the scale. That was had to my overall fitness goats. I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass, but thinking only of 4 the number on the scale, I altered my training program. That conflicted with how I needed to train to 5 my goals.
I also found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate 6 of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice any
significant changes in your weight 7 altering your training program. The most 8 changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost.
For these 9 , I stopped weighing myself every day and switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule 10 . Since weight loss is not my goal, it is less important for me to 11 my weight each week. Weighing every other week allows me to observe and 12 any significant weight changes. That tells me whether I need to 13 my training program.
I use my bimonthly weigh-in 14 to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly 15 and dropping weight, this is a 16 that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.
The 17 to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my overall health, fitness and well-being. I’m experiencing increased zeal for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a 18 morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, 19 I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.
Rather than 20 over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.

1-20参考答案及解析：
1. [答案] 【D】 However
[解析] 此处是逻辑关系考点。空格前面说到定期称重可以帮助我们关注自身体重的明显变化，这是正面描述，但是空格后面说的是负面描述，我们可以从词汇hurt上面感觉到语气的转变，所以，我们这里选择D,However（然而）. 所给的答案中[A]Besides(除此之外)，[B] Therefore（因此）， [D]Otherwise(否则)，意思都不符合题意。
2. [答案] 【A】helps
[解析] 此处是考查词义复现。空格所在的句子的意思是说：这种习惯的坏处有时候要比...多，很明显想表达的意思是弊大于利，所以空格处应该写表示利的同义词，这里所给的答案中，A helps(有帮助)复合题意，其他[B]cares（关心），[C] warns（警告）,[D] reduces（减少）带入句中都不符合题意。
3. [答案] 【B】solely
[解析] 此处是词汇考查。空格所在的句子的意思是：每天称重会让我转译注意力到体重的数值上，而不是宽泛的身体健康上。此处和后面的4题的数值也很匹配，所以答案是B solely表示仅仅。而其他答案[A] initially(最初地)[B]solely（仅仅地）[C]occasionally(偶尔地) [D] formally（正式地）都不合题意。
4. [答案] 【B】lowering
[解析] 此处是词义辨析题。空格所在的句子的意思和上文3空格的意思想对应，我虽然体重增加是由于肌肉的增强，但是我所想的是体重秤上的数字增大了，所以会关注怎样把数字降下来，所以这里应该选择是B（lowering）降低的意思。 其他选项[A]recording(记录) [C]explaining（解释） [D]accepting（接受）都不能表达此意。
5. [答案] 【D】reach
