There are countless diet programs and weight loss systems available. The majority are from multi-million dollar companies. Do you really think these businesses achieved success with a one-time, fix-all diet plan?
No, they count on having most people return on a recurring basis; hence the term \"yo-yo dieting\". A lot of diet plans can be very limiting. You
are required to follow a certain meal plan, which may consist of certain foods. Some plans are more exact and restrictive than others. Some diet companies even supply you with the actual meals. This means even more revenue(收入) for these businesses.
A well-balanced diet consists of carbohydrates that are low in sugar
(they're sometimes referred to as \"good carbs\"), proteins, and fats. (Yes, fats are important, too.) Fortunately for you, a well-balanced diet is all that is needed to safely and effectively lose or maintain weight, depending upon your goals.
By educating yourself and having the willpower and commitment to make the proper food choices, you'll be well on your way toward achieving your
weight-loss goals. After all, in order for a diet to be really successful, it cannot be just a diet. You must develop and conform to(遵守) a lifestyle that revolves around smart food decisions. This doesn't mean that you can never enjoy certain things that you crave(渴望), at least from time to time. We can all enjoy such things, but moderation is the key. A week's worth of smart choices deserves a meal out at your favorite
restaurant. It also gives you something to look forward to and enjoy when you are saying \"no\" to those office donuts all week long. Don't get me wrong. It isn't always going to be easy. But rarely does
anything worth having come easily. Liking what you see in the mirror, and being fit and healthy are definitely worth working hard for. Anyone can achieve such goals. To break out the old Nike phrase – Just Do It.
1.
The first paragraph mainly tells us ____________.
A.
there’re many kinds of diet plans or programs with different effects
B. why so many diet plans can not help people to control weight C. the diet plans do not work and can only benefit the companies D. people can’t stick to the diet plans because they are dull
2.
If you want to control weight safely and effectively, what you do NOT need is ____________.
A. the diet plans from the big company B. a well-balanced diet
C. the willpower and determination
D.
a lifestyle considering smart food choices
3.
What’s the correct understanding of the underlined sentence?
A.
Once you have a big meal in the restaurant, your week’s effort will be in vain.
B.
If you can make smart food choices for a week, you can treat yourself to a favourite meal out.
C.
A week’s smart food choices itself, not a meal out, is a big reward for you.
D.
A week’s proper food at home is as attractive as a delicious meal outside.
4.
What’s the correct attitude towards the food you like? A. Have some whenever you like. B. Eat much after a diet of a long time.
C. Enjoy it once in a while but never too much.
D. Never have it before you successfully lose weight.
5. The last paragraph is meant to ____________ A. conclude what’s the best way to control weight
B. emphasize the reasons why people should diet C. predict the results of taking well-balanced food
D. encourage people to take action in spite of difficulties 参考的 1---5 C A B C D

TAIPEI－Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island's “China rush”， seeking education on the Chinese mainland.
According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programs on the
mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998.Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig. com said, this number
had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with over 1,000 entering mainland campuses last year.
The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and
universities. “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase
their chances in the Chinese job market，” Net. com vicepresident Ingrid Huang said.“I believe it will give me handson experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people，” said Lydia Chang, a 19yearold majoring in
journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master's degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.
A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations，” said Yang Chingyao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig. com
survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing, Tsinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Zhongshan University in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.
At present, Chinese Taipei doesn't recognize diplomas earned in the
Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to
a policy accepting certificates(证书)from selected universities. 1．More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because

C．could do well in the business operations D．could make more friends there
3．The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to
________. A．Netbig. com
B．a Chinese education on the mainland C．the Chinese job market D．the university
4．The author wrote the article to tell us ________. A．more Taiwanese students are studying on the mainland B．Chinese students should also go to universities in Taiwan
C．education on the mainland is more attractive compared with that of Taiwan
D．Taiwan and the mainland should cooperate with each other in every field
5．Which is true according to the passage?

C．Chinese Taipei doesn't help with any inquiries about Taiwanese studying in the mainland.
D．Education of Taiwan is far behind the mainland.

One period of our lives when better results are demanded of us is,
strangely enough, childhood. Despite being young we are expected to
achieve good grades, stay out of trouble, make friends at school, do well
on tests, perform chores at home and so on. It's not easy.
The good news is that being likeable can help a child perform better.
Likeable children enjoy many advantages, including the ability to cope
more easily with stresses of growing up.
In her book Understanding Child Stress, Dr. Carolyn Leonard states that children who are likeable and optimistic are able to gain support from others. This leads to focus and resilience, the ability to recover
from or adjust early to life stress; a child who has adequate emotional_armor can continue down the path to success. Much research
shows that resilience has enabled children to succeed in school, avoid drug abuse, and develop a healthy selfawareness.
Why does a likeable child more easily handle stress and do better in his or her life? Because likeability helps create what's known as a
positive feedback loop(回馈圈). The positive feelings you want to see in other people are returned to you, creating constant encouragement and
motivation to deal with the daily stress of life. This feedback loop continues into adulthood. To return once again to the example of teaching, learning becomes easier with a likeable personality. Michael Delucchi of the University of Hawaii reviewed dozens of studies to determine if likeable teachers received good
ratings because of their likeability or because they in fact taught well.
Delucchi found that “Students who perceive(察觉) a teacher as likeable,
in contrast to those who do not, may be more attentive to the information
that the teacher delivers and they'll work harder on assignments, and
they will learn more.”
You may have noticed this pattern in your own life when you try to
give some advice. The more positive your relationship with that person, the more he or she seems to listen, and the more you feel certain that that person has heard you and intends to act on your words.
1．The writer implies in the first paragraph that ________. A．children are expected more than we usually think B．life is not easy for every one of us
C．better education results in smarter children D．to be a likable child is almost impossible
2．According to Dr. Leonard, likeable children ________. A．can cope more easily with stress independently B．know how to avoid trouble and unpleasant events
C．are always optimistic and ready to help those in need D．can achieve more and understand themselves better
3．The term “emotional armor” in Paragraph 3 means________. A．mental support from friends B．mental support from adults C．failures in life
D．ability to handle life stress
4．The main purpose of the studies done by Michael Delucchi is to find ________.
A．if a likeable teacher has a positive personality B．if a likeable teacher draws more attention
C．how a teacher's likeability gains popularity D．how a likeable teacher's teaching style is formed 5．The passage aims at proving that ________. A．likeable people do better in life generally B．likeable people do better in their childhood C．social creatures enjoy more advantages D．likeable people give better advice
