1.本题考查名词搭配．由于在超市里，所以是阅读食物标签（labels）．故选G．

2.本题考查动词短语搭配。根据所给词汇以及„yourself to a healthier lifestyle，只有commit yourself to（承诺„„）符合句意。故选C。

3.本题考查动词用法。根据后面内容some of the burden of doing it all yourself以及前面动词help可知此空应填relieve（减轻），构成"„„能够有助于减轻独自做这事的一些负担"。故选I。

4.本题考查动词用法。根据句子逻辑，此句意思为"政府不必通过法律来强加（impose）更健康的生活方式，如戒烟"。故选F。

5.本题考查形容词用法。根据设空，本空填形容词，而alert（警觉的）不符合句意，只有gentle（文雅的）符合句意。故选E。

8.本题考查动词用法。由于空后所接的是宾语从句，所以该空填及物动词，结合后面indicates的意思可知，该空填signals（表示）。故选J。

9.本题考查形容词用法。根据前面"绿灯表示三种营养的量是健康的"可知"黄灯表示三种营养的量可能有问题"，因此消费者应当留心（alert）。故选A。
