Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-far 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.
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. 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.
56. 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
57. 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
58. 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
59. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _________.
A. are over-consumed          B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals        D. provide too much energy
60. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A teenager says he convinced the White House that he was Iceland’ s president and managed to schedule a call with George W.Bush , but was found out before he got to talk to the US president.

“My call was transferred around a few times until I got hold of Bush’s secretary and managed to book a call meeting with Bush the following Monday evening ,” Vifill Atlaso, 16, told Reuters.

Several Icelandic police turned up at his door two days later---the day of the planned call---and took him in for questioning.

“They told me the CIA had called the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and asked if the police could try and find out where I received that phone number from,” said Atlason.

The teenager said he was unable to recall where he had discovered the telephone number of the White House.

“I know I’v had it on my phone card for at least four years now and that an Icelandic friend gave it to me, but I don’t remember who,”he said.

At a White House news conference on Monday, Bush’s spokeswoman Dana Perino said her understanding was that Atlason had called a public line “that anybody can call”, according to a transcript(記錄).

Jon Buartmarz, Chief Superintendent at Iceland’s national police headquarters, said Icelandic police had not spoken to their US counterparts about the matter. He declinced(拒絕) to say how police were tipped off (通告) about Atlason’s call.

“As far as we’re concerned, there will not be any further investigation, and I don’t know if the American government is taking any action because of this,”he said.

1.According to the passage, when did Atlason call the White House ?

A.On Friday      B. On Saturday     C. On Sunday    D. On Monday

2.What does the underlined “it ”refer to ?

A.The telephone number of the White House.

B.The telephone number of his friend.

C.A White House news conference .

D.CIA

3.How did Atlason get the telephone number of the White House ?

A.From a newspaper   

B.From Bush’s secertary

C.From an Icelandic friend  

D.By calling the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police.

4.What is the main idea of the article ?

A.An Icelandic teenager tricks the the White House

B.CIA found out the truth of a trick.

C.A teenager pretended to be the Icelandic president.

D.The telephone number of the Whiite House is known by public.
