Diet Coke，diet Pepsi，diet pills，nofat 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(身体上)．
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.On one level，we are not allowing our brains 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(营养成分)．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 chemicals 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 medicals.Once we realize this，we will be much better able to resist diet products，and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.
72．From Paragraph 1，we learn that__________. A．diet products fail to bring out people's potential B．people have difficulties in choosing diet products C．diet products are misleading people D．people are fed up with diet products

[答案] C
73．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
[解析] 细节理解题。由第二段倒数第二句“Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale instead.”可推出D(当心他们的体重，而不是他们的饮食习惯)。
[答案] D
74．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

[答案] Dear Wang Ying，
I'm glad to have received your letter and I'd be happy to share some ways to study English with you.
Firstly，you should pay attention in every English class.It's essential that you focus on your English in class as your teachers will
tell you some good ways to improve your English.
Secondly，you should recite new words as often as possible because words are what make up the language.Once you grasp enough words，you can express more ideas more clearly.
Lastly，since English is a language like Chinese，we must speak it as much as possible if we are to become fluent.Don't be afraid of speaking English in public.It's also a good idea to join an English corner.You can talk with foreigners and learn about foreign cultures.Then your English will be improved rapidly.
I hope you can develop your own way to study English.Believe in yourself.
Yours， Li Ming
