Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, or surf the Internet, we’ll be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise 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.

It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

What’s more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves 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.

As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because taking them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

1.What does “gain comes without pain” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Losing weight is effortless.　　 B. It costs a lot to lose weight

C. Diet products are free of fat.　　 D. Diet products cause no pain.

2.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A. Diet products are cheap and healthy.

B. People enjoy paying for diet products.

C. Diet products are misleading people.

D. People are surrounded by “diet”.

3.Which is true about “psychological effect of diet products”？

A. People would hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.

B. People would pay more attention to their daily diet.

C. People would care about results instead of efforts.

D. People would try out varieties of diet products.

4.Why would diet products indirectly harm people physically?

A. Because they are over-consumed.

B. Because they lack chemicals.

C. Because they provide too much fat.

D. Because they lack basic nutrients.

The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”. But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?

Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.

The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing (引证) older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your friend who is slow to learn that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays against funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.

In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem (自尊). The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”

Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation (自我肯定). In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think of positive thoughts.

The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic viewpoint. Call it the power of negative thinking.　

1.The first paragraph is written _________.

A. to raise an argument about positive thinking　　　

B. to introduce the power of positive thinking

C. to encourage people to have positive thoughts　　

D. to introduce the $11 billion self-help industry

2.According to the study of the Canadian researchers, _________.

A. positive thinking is not as powerful as negative thinking　

B. encouraging positive thinking may actually discourage people

C. happy people can think positively while unhappy people can’t

D. getting people to think positively can strengthen their confidence

3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. You are pointing out the mistakes he has made.　　　

B. You are reminding him that he is not intelligent.

C. You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.　　

D. You are showing he has great potential in spite of faults.

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.

A. negative feelings must be got rid of

B. there’s no point in thinking positively

C. it doesn’t make sense to think negatively

D. negative thinking is not always negative

Dear editor,

You can find language pollution whenever you open a newspaper or turn on your TV set, listen to a popular song at various advertisements. Language pollution exists almost everywhere and can be seen in the following places:

.1. Chinese characters are written in the complex (复杂的 ) form. Although simplified（简化的） Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters written in the complex form.

.2. Many goods are produced in China but carry foreign names, which sound strange and have no meaning at all.

.3. Words and expressions being used have a bad meaning. "Ba"(霸), which means bully in Chinese, is one example. Now there are a lot of goods, restaurants, even factories or firms, with "Ba" in their names.

.4. There are too many incorrect grammatical expressions. Some films have strange names and incorrect grammatical structures. "Ai ni mei shang liang', which means "I love you without consulting", is grammatically incorrect and this kind of expression is now becoming popular.

Some language experts point out that language pollution must be done away with, which is an idea shared by myself and many others.
