【解析】

试题分析：本文属于科普说明文，主要讲述了房屋的设计和布置在一定程度上决定了你的体型。想要减肥，除了少吃外，还和房间有关系。建议有4条：1.房间要明亮；2.用冷色系会减少食欲；3.放一些舒缓的音乐就餐；4. 用小的碗碟。

【1】C 本句属于承上启下句。前面两句中提到住房可能会影响我们的体型，下面四段分别提出一个建议。所以横线句要连接上下文，故C项“Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan下面是一个把你的家变成节食计划一部分的一些方法”符合上下文串联。

【2】E 本段的建议是保持房间明亮。横线前句“.... when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots”可知在光线不好的情况下，人们会多吃食物。所以横线句应该表示要让房间更为明亮。故E项正确。

【3】A 根据本段倒数第二句Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry .可知暖色系会增加我们的食欲，而冷色系会减少食欲。所以本段的建议是A项“Mind the colors 注意颜色”。

【4】B 根据横线前句If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music.如果你想放慢速度，就打开一些舒缓的音乐。舒缓的音乐让我们吃饭不那么匆忙。故B项符合上下文串联。

【5】G 本段标题Downsize the dishes. 建议我们使用小的碗碟；根据后三句可知大碗碟会让我们多吃而发胖，小碗碟可以减少我们的食量，达到减肥的目的。故G项“Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.”符合段落大意。
