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.
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(摄入) 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(标签).
On another level，diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have a zero-calorie drink，we are telling ourselves without knowing 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(抵制) 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 chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we know 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

Sports are all about change.A team gets better.A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court.In 2006，two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.
One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi，who retired in 2006.Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles，including eight major championships(冠军称号).But his greatest accomplishment(成就) might have been how much he changed during his career.
When he was young，Agassi was a show off who seemed to care only about himself.He didn’t train very hard，but he won matches because of his tremendous(极大的) talent.Eventually，though，injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him.He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141.
So Agassi changed.He trained harder and became a world-class player again.More importantly，he changed as a person.He was nicer to fans and opponents(对手).He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others.Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation，he raised more than 60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas，Nevada.He even started a school，the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy，for at-risk kids.
P：Point C：Conclusion

At the start of a new year，lots of people promise themselves they will change.They might vow to get in good physical shape，do better in school or be nicer to others.Changes such as those can be difficult.But they do happen.Just remember Andre Agassi：It wasn’t easy，but he changed，and changed for the better.
