The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

    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 and physically（身体上）.

    Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption 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 swallow or 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  don’t  have  to  work  to  get  results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and 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 consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). 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 potentially dangerous.

    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 and physical harm that comes from using them.

1. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ______.

A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential

B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products C. diet products are misleading people

D. people are fed up with diet products

2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ______.

A. try out a variety of diet foods B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods

C. pay attention to their own eating habits D. watch their weight rather than their diet

3. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means ______.

A. losing weight is effortless B. it costs a lot to lose weight

C. diet products bring no pain D. diet products are free from calories

4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.

A. are over-consumed B. lack basic nutrients

C. are short of chemicals D. provide too much energy

【阅读赏析】

 本文体裁是议论文，其结构路线图如下：

 开头部分（第一段）开门见山提出论点 → 论证部分：第一部分（第二、三段）讨论减肥产品对消费者的心理影响，论述方法也是花开两朵，各表一枝，每段各谈心理影响的一个方面；第二部分（第四段）叙述减肥产品对消费者的生理危害 → 最后一段归纳总结提出要消除错误认识,树立正确观念。

 本文一共五段，设题五道，设题布局均匀合理。根据上述结构图，我们不难得出最后一题文章结构分析题的答案为B。在考试中，建议大家先通读全文快速掌握文章大意，弄清文章的篇章结构，然后分析段落大意，掌握各个段落的主题句以及细节信息，这样，就能避免对文章的主旨大意和段意的理解偏差。这样的阅读方法尤其适用于本文。

【答案解析】

1. C。段意归纳题。此段中作者首先谈到一种现象—— 现在减肥产品铺天盖地，充斥着我们的生活，然后指出有关减肥产品的宣传对消费者造成了误导，减肥产品对人们的心理和生理都有危害。很明显，最后一句是本段的主题句。故选C。

2. D。细节理解题。从本段中的Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale （秤） instead我们可以得知：减肥产品使得人们只关注体重上的变化而不是饮食。故选D。

3. A。此题表面上看是句意猜测题，实际上也是一个段意归纳题，因为理解了本段的主旨大意，这个题也就迎刃而解了。本段告诉我们减肥产品对消费者的另一心理影响是使他们认为减肥可以“不劳而获”，即通过减肥产品减肥不需要耗费体力，忍受痛苦。

4. B。细节理解题。第四段的第二句告诉我们服用减肥产品会导致人们基本营养成分的缺失，说明这些减肥产品缺少营养成分。故选B。
