The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

   Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically（身體上）.

   Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

   On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

   The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營(yíng)養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

   Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

1．From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.

A．diet products fail to bring out people’s potential

B．people have difficulty in choosing diet products

C．diet products are misleading people

D．people are fed up with diet products

2．One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.

A．try out a variety of diet foods          

B．hesitate before they enjoy diet foods

C．pay attention to their own eating habits  

D．watch their weight rather than their diet

3．In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.

A．losing weight is effortless                     B．it costs a lot to lose weight

C．diet products bring no pain                   D．diet products are free from calories

4．Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.

A．a(chǎn)re over-consumed                              B．lack basic nutrients

C．a(chǎn)re short of chemicals                         D．provide too much energy

5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

       If you have young children in your life, especially kids in those teen years between ages 8 and 12, you most likely know all about the Disney movie High School Musical. The popularity of this made-for-the Disney-Channel movie has led to a concert tour, touring stage  musical production, plans for follow-up movies, and a large number of products. With the momentum(動(dòng)力) still building for this uplifting story, a HighSchool Musical theme party is sure to be a winner for the teens in your life.

Books don’t grow on trees

       A local community college professor decided to fight back. “The price of books for our students is just getting higher and higher and, combined with the rising cost of tuition, it’s killing these kids,” said Peter Jason, Ph.D. “Remember, students are one of the poorest groups of people in America. Almost half of them have at least one part-time job. In fact, one of my students has three jobs. She is a part-time sales clerk at a clothing store three days a week, then works three evenings a week as a pizza cook, and on weekends she does manicures(修指甲) at a beauty salon. And she still manages to have a high GPA （grade point average）and go to school full-time.”

       Textbook prices are traditionally high. Adding to that problem, many college instructors change textbooks year after year; they either upgrade to a new edition or switch to an entirely different textbook. This further hurts students because if an instructor no longer uses a particular textbook, that book has no resale value.

       Dr. Jason decided to make life a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book on public speaking. “Many books have an increased price because of bells and whistles: CD-ROMs, lots of color photographs, and lots of graphics. I talked to my students, and many of them, like me, prefer to keep things simple. So, during a sabbatical a few years ago, I wrote my own textbook. I made sure that it wasn’t long-winded. I called it Successful Public Speaking: How To Be Brief, Concise, and to the Point.

       “Compared to most other public speaking books, mine is half the number of pages, and one-third the price. That is, $30 instead of $90. Plus, it is published in a three-ring binder format. So, when I wrote a second edition last year, students only had to buy the 35 new pages and delete 35 of the original pages. For only $7.00, they had upgraded to the new edition. I’ve had great feedback from my students about this loose-leaf concept. Maybe the word will get out, and more writers and publishers will try it.”

1．The reason why some students have to work is that         .

       A．they have to support themselves

       B．the cost of living is rising rapidly

       C．they lack the money for their education

       D．a(chǎn) high GPA is required for further studies

2．More money is spent on textbooks because            .

       A．publishers pay more to the writers

       B．students need textbooks with pictures

       C．textbook prices are traditionally high

       D．textbooks may be changed every year

3．Dr. Jason wrote his own textbook to              .

       A．make it short                                       B．increase its price

       C．make it easy to update                          D．a(chǎn)dd CD-ROMs and photos

4．It can be inferred from the passage that             .

       A．a(chǎn) college professor objects to writing textbooks                     

       B．instructors don’t use particular textbooks any longer

       C．more writers and publishers will write shorter textbooks

       D．the loose-leaf concept is well received among the students
