For most of us, dieting is a frustrating fact of life. With so much conflicting nutritional information about, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let's start by discounting these confusing myths.

(1)All calories are created equal

What you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research. Calories from fat pack on the pounds. The reason: during digestion, the body bums many more calories metabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.

(2)Desserts are taboo

Cakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. Cut down on other meals if you'11 be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets. Or indulge, but take only a few bites.

(3) Fast foods are forbidden

A plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice. So is grilled chicken or a green salad with low-cal dressing. But watch out for French fries, milkshakes and batter-dipped chicken or fish.

(4)Fasting is the fastest diet

Some studies suggest that drastically reducing calorie intake switches the body into a" starvation mode", which conserves calories and decreases your metabolic rate. The more frequently you deprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing calories. So, in the long run, repeated fasting may actually undermine your weight-loss efforts.

(5)To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat

According to experts, exercise combined with dieting ensures weight loss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that sticking with regular, moderate exercise is more important that occasional vigorous workouts are. Obesity-researcher Kelly Brownell encourages patients to make a series of small physical efforts: taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking the car far from where you are going and walking.

Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.

It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that______.

[A] the information about dieting is always contradictory

[B] there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose from

[C] dieting is always troublesome to most people

[D] people should not believe the ideas of dieting

The study of genetics is today so far advanced that we shall soon be able to produce a kind of genetically "perfect superman", using techniques known as "genetic engineering". At first this may seem an attractive possibility, but when we consider it in detail, we find there are many problems involved.

A distinction is usually made between "negative" and "positive" genetic engineering. In negative genetic engineering we try to eliminate harmful genes to produce genetically normal people. The aim is of course a desirable one; however, it does pose the problem of what a harmful gene is. Genes are not really either "good" or "bad". The gene which causes certain forms of anaemia, for example, can also protect against malaria. If we eliminate this gene we may get rid of anaemia, but we increase the risk of malaria.

In positive genetic engineering we try to create better people by developing the so-called "good" genes. 72. But although this form. of genetic engineering will give us greater control over mankind's future, there are several reasons for caution. First there is the possibility of mistakes. While aceepting that geneticists are responsible people, we must also admit that things can be wrong, the result being the kind of monster we read about in horror stories. Secondly, there is the problem of deciding what makes a "better" person. We may feel, for example, that if genetic engineering can create more intelligent people, then this is a good thing. On the other hand, intelligence does not necessarily lead to happiness. Do we really want to create people who are intelligent, but perhaps unhappy?

73. The basic question is whether or not we should interfere with human life. We can argue that much human progress (particularly in medicine ) involves interference with life. To some extent this is true; but we should not forget the terrible consequences genetic engineering can have. Consider for example the possibilities of genetic warfare, in which our enemies try to harm us using the techniques of genetic engineering ...

听力原文：M: I'm so tired, I can't see straight.

W: You've been tired a lot lately, haven't you?

M: Well, for the last few weeks, I have had to stay up most of the nights to observe star configurations for a project for my astronomy class. It's awful! No matter at what time I go to bed, I always wake up at 6 am. That's the time I usually get up.

W: Your biological rhythms probably haven't been adjusted to your new schedule. I've read that some people have a lot of trouble when their sleep rhythm is so interrupted. Even sleeping pills don't help them.

M: I know. In fact I've heard there are now several special treatment centers for sleep disorders across the country. Some people sleep too little. Some people sleep too much. Some walk in their sleep.

W: I'd like to find out how they treat problems like that. Maybe you should go to one of those centers.

M: Not me. After next week, my project will be finished and I'll go back to my regular hours. Now I know for sure that I don't want to be an astronomer.

A、Le progrès de la communication permet aux plus faibles de s'exprimer, car la presse est capable de faire retentir jusqu'aux extrémités de l'univers la voix du plus faible et du plus ignoré.

B、Jusqu'au XXIe siècle, les écoles fran?aises ont toujours peu de formation au sujet de la presse.

C、La presse a également la vertu d'assurer un bon fonctionnement de la société, car sans son écho le pouvoir serait sans force, l'économie s'enrayerait, l'opinion s'affolerait. Les individus seraient privés d'impulsion et de cohésion.

D、Au XIXe siècle, la nouvelle de la mort de Napoléon a mis deux mois pour atteindre la France métropolitaine tandis qu'à l'époque de l'auteur, une dépêche télégraphique pouvait déjà parcourir le monde en 2 minutes.
