a. proud. b. nervous. c. curious. d. shocked. 62. from the text we know that _. a. the father didnt love his sonb. the father always disagreed with his son c. the father disliked the huge fishd. the father was firm and stubborn 63. the successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _. a. they might catch a big fish there b. he remembered the moral lesson from his father c. he wanted to remember his father d. their children enjoyed fishing there64. what does the author want to show in the story? a. it is easy to say something, but difficult to do. b. an ethical decision is not difficult to make. c. it is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes. d. fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.c 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) and physically. diet products greatly 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 amount 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 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 dont have to work to get results. diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without 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 eating them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. 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 chemicals that go into diet products are possibly dangerous in the future. 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.65. from paragraph 1, we learn that _. a. diet products fail to bring out peoples potential b. people have difficulty in choosing diet products c. diet products are misleading people d. people are tired of diet products66. one psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _. a. try out a variety of diet foods b. think twice before they enjoy diet foods c. pay attention to their own eating habits d. watch their weight rather than their diet67. diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.a. are over-taken b. are short of basic nutrientsc. have no chemicalsd. provide too much energy68. which of the following shows the structure of the passage? a. b. c. d. cp: central point p: point sp: sub-point (次要点) c: conclusion(结论)dit was a cold night in washington, d. c., and i was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. he asked if l would give him some money so he could get something to eat. id read the signs dont give money to beggars. so i shook my head and kept walking.i wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, i really am homeless and i really am hungry! you can come with me and watch me eat! but i kept on walking.the incident bothered me for the rest of the week. i had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. flying back to anchorage, i couldnt help thinking of him. i tried to rationalize (找借口)my failure to help by thinking government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. besides, youre not supposed to give money to beggars.somewhere over seattle, i started to write my weekly garden column for the anchorage daily news. out of the blue, i came up with an idea. beans cafe, the soup kitchen in anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry alaskans every day. why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to beans?
