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(心理上的) 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(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 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.
1. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential
B. people are fed up with diet products
C. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
D. diet products are misleading people
2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.
A. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
B. pay attention to their own eating habits
C. watch their weight rather than their diet
D. try out a variety of diet foods
3.The purpose of writing this passage is _________.
A. to warn people of the side effect of diet products
B. to tell people how to lose weight
C. to advise people to eat diet products
D. to introduce some diet products
4.Which of the following shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

One man’s white bread is another man’s green vegetables.
That’s the key from The Personalised Diet, a new book from Israeli authors Eran Segal and Eran Elinav. The authors say it’s time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets don’t work, and when it comes to nutrition,it’s about doing what works best for your body, not catching the latest diet fashion.
“For years,we’ve been trying to search for that silver-bullet diet and we’ve been miserably failing,” Segal said. “And that’s because the best diet for each person really has to be tailored to that individual.”
They conducted a personalised nutrition project at Weizmann, where hundreds of volunteers agreed to have their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant in the study, a woman named Ruti, said she was surprised that it was tomatoes -- not ice cream or candies -- that were raising her blood sugar level. Ruti recalled, “I have now significantly reduced my intake of tomato and I’m feeling much more energetic, which still surprises me. I have already lost a couple of pounds, and I have high hopes that I have finally found the answer to my weight struggle, too.”
The Israeli scientists found that some people can consume traditionally unhealthy foods with little or no rise in their blood sugar levels, while others have a stronger response, and therefore shouldn’t eat those foods. It’s those kinds of results that you can only find from a personalised diet.
“What we were surprised to find out was just like any other food, there is no such thing as good bread,” Elinav said. “The response to bread was completely individualised.”
1.What is suggested in the first sentence?
A.Everyone has their own tastes.
B.Nutrition serves your body best.
C.People’s response to the same food is different.
D.The latest diet doesn’t fit each person.
2.What does “that silver-bullet diet” refer to?
A.A diet that is low in fat.
B.A diet that begins a new diet trend.
C.A diet that works best for everyone.
D.A diet that provides all the nutrition.
3.Ruti’s example suggests that to control weight, one needs to .
A.eat much fewer tomatoes
B.control their blood sugar levels
C.struggle for weight loss constantly
D.eat according to his or her blood sugar level
4.Why is Elinav’s opinion on bread mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To advise people not to eat unhealthy food.
B.To stress the need of the personalised diet.
C.To explain the popularity of white bread.
D.To show the importance of good bread.
