lunch she asked me “do you think that drinking diet soda makes you fat?”“depends on whom you ask,” i said. last year, researchers from the university of texas health science center in san antonio reported that adults who drink diet soda did not lose weight. they were actually more likely to become overweight than those adults who did not drink soda at all or those that drink regular soda. in fact, the more diet soda consumed, the more likely someone would become overweight. to be specific, there was a 41% increase in the risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of diet soda consumed daily.in this study, researcher sharon fowler followed over 600 normal weight adults ages 25-64 over a seven to eight year period of time. she has a number of theories as to why weight gain may be a result of drinking a zero-calorie beverage:1.artificial sweeteners may affect your bodys ability to judge how many calories you consume. when no calories are consumed, the body may continue to crave(渴望) what it expected and could lead to overeating.2. some people give up regular sodas to justify their favorite dessert and still take in too many calories. a regular soda contains about 150 calories while your dessert may be double that in calories easily.3. for others who were gaining weight already, switching to diet soda wasnt enough to stop the gain.since her first piece of research, fowler has tracked another 2000 people with similar results. do the faux sweet products induce people to want more sweets? fowler suggests that perhaps its not the soft drinks themselves that cause weight gain but that there is some link between diet soda drinking and overweight.64.why do people give up regular soda and take diet one according to fowlers research?a. some want to gain weight. b. some want excuses to have dessert.c. some mistake diet soda as no-calorie drink.d. diet soda can help people lose weight. 【参考答案】6467、bbda 【安徽省蚌埠市三县联谊校2014高考二模】two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. in fact, according to an official report on youth violence, in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence. given that this is the case, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?first of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. a report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). for example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. the problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. on the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.after both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution; listening. listening allows the two sides to understand each other. one person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. then the two people should change roles.finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. this doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. it means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. for example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. students need to ask themselves questions such as these: how did this start? what do i really want? what am i afraid of ? as the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.there will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. after students in atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to educators for social responsibility, 64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation,and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves. learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and coworkers. in that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.68.this article is mainly about a. how to deal with school conflictsb. the cause of arguments in schoolsc. how to analyze youth violence d. the lives of school children69.from paragraph 2 we
