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.

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 and physical 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

As a new driver with little experience behind the wheel, having to turn into another lane(車道)to avoid a careless driver talking on a cellphone is not something that I am prepared for. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, an accident is four times more likely to happen than normal while you are talking on the phone. Therefore, I hold the view that using a cellphone while driving should be outlawed(宣布……不合法).

Cars are two-ton weapons and should be treated as such. When drivers put a key in the engine, they are taking on the responsibility of being a driver. Answer the phone while driving is like taking the safety off a gun ― at any moment something could go wrong and change a life forever.

A few countries, including Australia, Great Britain, Spain and Israel, have recognized the damage that cellphone use can cause. According to Tom Alex of The Des Moines Register, people who talk on cellphones while driving are just like drunk drivers. They are likely to make a deadly mistake, causing them to hurt themselves or someone else.

Some may think that cellphone are helpful when you need directions or are in an emergency situation. Although I agree, I believe the safest way to use your phone is to pull over to the side of the road first. Some may think that hands-free phones are less dangerous, but studies have shown that the danger remains the same with these.

Using a cellphone while driving should be outlawed. One small mistake could change your whole life. Please don’t let that happen ― stay off your cellphone while driving.

1.It can be inferred that the writer ________.

A. doesn’t know how to drive at all

B. likes to use a cellphone while driving

C. take a great interest in using his car as a weapon

D. prefers to stay off his cellphone while driving

2.The underlined word “recognized” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “________”.

A. realizedB. allowedC. madeD. taken

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The author is not quite experienced in driving yet.

B. Using a cellphone while driving is quite dangerous.

C. Drivers behind the wheel should pay full attention.

D. Using hands-free phone is less likely to cause accidents.

4.According to the writer, ________.

A. drivers should slow down while talking on the phone

B. cellphone talking while people are driving is more dangerous than drunken driving

C. drivers should be encouraged to use hands-free phones while driving

D. using a cellphone while driving should be forbidden

Quick tips for better time management

Are you a good time manager? If your answer is “no”, here are some tips on how to be a better time manager:

1. Create a daily plan. Plan your day before it starts. The plan gives you a good description of how the day will go on. That way, you will be ready to deal with most of the things you meet. 1.

2. Focus. Are you multi-tasking so much that you’re just not getting anything done? 2. Only focus on what you’re doing. You’ll be more efficient that way.

3. Stay away from your time wasters. What takes your time away from your work? QQ? Email checking? 3. One thing you can do is make it hard to check them — remove them from your browser quick links.

4. 4. Don’t take on more than you can deal with. For the distractions that come in when you’re doing other things, give a firm no. Or do it later.

5. Decide to be early. When you prepare to be on time, you’ll either be on time or late. 5. However, if you decide to be early, you’ll most likely to be on time. For appointments, try to be early. For your deadlines, meet them earlier than required.

A. Learn to say “No”.

B. Most of the time you’ll be late.

C. Great ways to know your time spent.

D. Cut off when you need to.

E. Stop checking them so often.

F. Your job for the day is to follow the plan as best as possible..

G. If so, focus on just one key task at one time
