out to dinner. she has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. he is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. when they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this beautiful creature is on a diet. she mustnt eat this and she mustnt drink that. oh, but of course, she doesnt want to spoil his enjoyment. let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: its the surest way to an early grave. they spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.what a miserable lot dieters are! you can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. they spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. they are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. they spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, bigger tummies（肚子） and double chins. some declare all-out war on fat. mere dieting is not enough. they exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna baths, being massaged by weird machines. the really wealthy pay vast sums for “health cures”. for two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred dollars a week. dont think its only the middle-aged who go in for these fashions either. many of these bright young things you see are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of god.dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? well, for one thing, theyre always hungry. you cant be hungry and happy at the same time. all the horrible foods they eat leave them permanently dissatisfied. “wonderfood is a complete food”, the advertisement says. “just dissolve(溶解) a teaspoonful in water”. a complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. and, of course, theyre always miserable because they feel so guilty. hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they may rush to eat five huge cream cakes at a time. and who can blame them? at least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. what torture（折磨） it is always watching others swallowing piles of mouth-watering food while you only have a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice!whats all this torture for? saintly people keep themselves away from food to achieve a state of grace. unsaintly people do so to achieve a state of misery. it will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out

passage 2 is from an essay by a united states author.passage 1every morning, when we wake up, we have 24 brand-new hours to live. what a precious gift! we have the capacity to live in a way that these 24 hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and to others.peace is right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. the question is whether or not we are in touch with it. we dont have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. we dont have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.we can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. we are very good at preparing how to live, but not very good at living. we know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. but we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with joy, peace, and serenity. we need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.passage 2the argument of both the hedonist (享乐主义者) and the guru (印度教的宗师) is that we were but to open ourselves to the richness of the moment, to concentrate on the feast before us, we would be filled with bliss. i have lived in the present from time to time and can tell you that it is much overrated. occasionally, as a holiday from stroking ones memories or brooding (担忧) about future worries, i grant you, it can be a nice change of pace. but to “be here now,” hour after hour, would never work. i dont even approve of stories written in the present tense. ads for poets who never use a past participate, they deserve the eternity they are striving for. besides, the present has a way of intruding whether you like it or not. why should i go out of my way to meet it? let it splash on me from time to time, like a car going through a puddle, and i, on the sidewalk of my solitude (孤独), will salute it grimly like any other modern inconvenience.if i attend a concert, obviously not to listen to the music but to find a brief breathing space in which to meditate on the past and future. i realize that there may be moments when the music invades my ears and i am forced to pay attention to it, note for note. i believe i take such intrusions gracefully. the present is not always an unwelcome guest, so long as i
