　　Part B　Read the texts from a magazine article in which five women talked about their slimming failures. For questions 1 to 5， match the name of each woman （1 to 5） to each of the statements （A to G） given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.

　　Glynis Davis：I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 2lbs in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year…… but it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds， I put them on. I'd lost the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps didn't make any difference - but the scales don't lie.

　　Roz Juma：To be honest， I never weigh myself any more - I've learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel¹ that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple： You shouldn't be preoccupied² with food and dieting. Instead， you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super-thin body. This is obviously the size I'm meant to be and， most of all， I'm happy with it.

　　Lesley Godwin：I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem - perhaps I didn't relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse， though， because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I feel a failure because I've put on weight again…… I find it humiliating and embarrassing.

　　Ros Langford：Before moving in with my husband Gavin， I'd always been about 8 stone， but domestic bliss³ went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stone in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet…… I'm really good for a few days， then end up eating the children's leftovers⁴ or gorging⁵ on chocolate - my weakness. I'd like to be slim， but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older.

　　Julia Minifie：I'm a compulsive eater. I can't control my urges and I really love cakes. When I'm slim I feel like a million dollars - and when I'm not I get very depressed⁶. Over the years I'd tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined⁷ I'd never put the weight back on， but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution， and it started to creep on again…… Certainly I will face the same problem in the future.

　　Now match each of the women （1 to 5） to the appropriate statement.Note： there are two extra statements. Statements1. Glynis Davis [A] I put on weight after I got married.2. Roz Juma [B] The heavier， the merrier.3. Lesley Godwin [C] Facts speak louder than words.4. Ros Langford [D] I like myself as I am.5. Julia Minifie [E] I'm constantly at war with my weight.[F] Fame doesn't necessarily mean success.[G] I think I'll be slim again.
