A fad diet is a diet that suddenly becomes popular, usually because it promises people that they will lose a lot of weight overnight. Although dieters may really show weight loss from a fad diet, they will almost certainly get back the weight if their usual eating habits (习惯) remain unchanged. Moreover, fad diets continuously call for special products of questionable value or for “health foods” that may cost twice as much as supermarket(超市) foods. Worse yet, certain fad diets don't include nutrients(营养)good for health. People have been known to become very ill as a result of following medically unhealthy diets.
The worse fact of fad diets, though, is that they keep people who are over-weight or sick from receiving the medical care that they truly need.

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult（成年人）population has a “weight problem.”。

To many people, the cause is clear: We eat too much. But scientific evidence(科学证明)does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically (体力地) walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover(此外) .have shown that fatter people don't eat more on average (平均) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer(苗条) people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.
The more the men ran, the greater loss(失去)of body fat.
The more they ran, the greater their increase(增加) in food intake(吸收)。

Thus those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greatest amount of body fat.
17. What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?
A. They are too slim.
B. They work too hard.
C. They are too fat.
D. They lose too much body fat.
18. Based on(基于) the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have weight problems?
A. 30
B. 50
C. 100
D. 150
19. Is there scientific evidence to support eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?
A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D. We don't know because the information is not given.
20. In comparison(比较)with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910____
A. ate more food and had more physical activities
B. ate less food but had more activities
C. at less food and had less physical exercises
D .had more weight problems
21. What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?
A. Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B. Fat people eat more food than slim people and are less active.
C. Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.
D. Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake
（E）
1970 was “World Conservation（保护）Years”. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger. They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to conserve (protect) nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask. “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation (protection) is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called NO ONE'S GOING TO CHANGE OUR WORLD. It was made by the Scales, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.
22. This passage is mainly about conserving (protecting)______.
A. wild animals

D. man
23. How many kinds of plants, trees and flowers have been destroyed by modern man and his technology in Holland?

Panda—the National Treasure
Panda is one of the scarcest animals. People in the world like it very much. There used to be many pandas in China long ago. As the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer, pandas became less. But at present, the number of pandas is increasing year by year. There are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them.
Nowadays, the biggest nature park for panda in China is in Sichuan. There is a research centre for nature and wild life there. Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.。
