Getting Thin - for Good
Just about everyone has been on a diet at one time or another, and millions of us have learned that the weight we lose is all too easily regained. Still few people question the wisdom of dieting. After all, we reason, the worst that can happen is that we'll regain the weight we've lost then we can simply go on a diet again.
But some new research suggests there is a risk: yo-yo dieting may seriously distort the body's weight control system. The more diets you go on, become to lose weight. Even worse, new evidence indicates that repeated cycles of losing and gaining weight may raise the risk of heart problems.
This last possibility is especially disturbing. As part of a 25-year study that monitored 1959 men, researchers at the University of Texas School of Public Health in Houston reported in March 1987 that the men showing large up-and-down weight changes had twice the risk of heart disease as those with only small changes in weight. One paper from the Framingham (Mass.) Heart Study, which has monitored more than 5000 people for 40 years, also provides troubling information: people who lost ten percent of their body weight had about 20 percent reduction in risk of heart disease - but people who gained 10 percent raised the risk by 30 percent. These numbers further suggest that going from 150 to 135 pounds, and back to 150 again, could leave you with a higher heart disease risk than you started with.
When you cut calories and lose weight, your body will protect itself by reducing your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the measure of the energy used for routine functions such as breathing and cell repair roughly 60 to 75 percent of the energy consumed by the body. During severe dieting, your BMR drops within 24 hours and can decline a full 20 percent within two weeks. This metabolic decline is one reason dieters often reach a steady unchanging period, and find that the same caloric intake which melted pounds earlier now produces no weight loss.
The body adapts to dieting in other ways. The enzyme lipoprotein lipase(脂肪酶), a chemical in the body, which controls how much fat is stored in fat cell, may become more active in some overweight people after they have lost weight. That would make the body more efficient at fat storage exactly what the dieter doesn't want. And this change, like the drop in BMR, may be part of the reason dieters frequently regain their lost weight.
My interest in the yo-yo problem began in 1982, when my colleagues Thomas
Wadden and Albert Stunkard and I were experimenting with very-low-calorie diets - 800 calories or fewer per day. We hoped that patients in our clinic could lose large amounts of weight rapidly, then keep the weight loss with a behavior-modification program.
We found, however, that some people lost weight rapidly, some slowly; some lost for a while and then stopped losing. One woman, Marie, began the program at 230 pounds, reduced to 192 pounds, and then \"hit a wall\her diet and walked two miles a day. Marie, like many others in our program, had been a yo-yo dieter, and they tended to have in losing weight. To see if such dieting could really change the body this way, other researchers and I began to study weight changes in animals. We fed a group of rats a high-fat diet until they became obese. Then we changed their diets repeatedly to make them lose weight, regain, lose again and regain again. The results were surprising. The first time the rats lost weight, it took 21 days for them to go from obese to normal weight. On their second diet, it took 46 days, even though the rats consumed exactly as many calories.
With each yo-yo, it became easier for the rats to regain. After the first diet, they took 46 days to become obese again; after the second diet, they took only 14 days. In other words on the second yo-yo cycle, it took more than twice as long to lose weight, and only one-third as long to regain it.
Surprised, our group contacted Harvard surgeon George Blackburn, a pioneer in the use of very low calorie diets. Blackburn and his colleagues reviewed the records of 140 dieters who had been through their weight-control clinic, had lost weight and regained it and had returned for a second try. The records showed the dieters had lost an average of 2.3 pounds a week the first time, but only 1.3 pounds a week the second time.
Four years ago we began the Weight Cycling Project, a major study that includes some of the country's leading obesity researchers. We know that people who lose weight by dieting only and without an exercise program can lose a considerable amount of muscle. But then, if they gain weight back, they may regain less muscle and more fat. While the reason isn't clear, it may be easier for the body to put fat on than to rebuild lost muscle. We're asking if yo-yo dieters may lose fat from one part of the body and regain it elsewhere. For instance, according to our preparatory studies in animals, they could move fat to the abdomen. And research shows that abdominal fat raises the risk of heart disease and diabetes more than fat around the hips and thighs does.
None of this means that dieting is ineffective or foolish. For those who are 20 percent or more overweight, there are good reasons to reduce: successful weight loss can lower blood pressure and cholesterol, help control blood sugar in diabetics and enable people to feel better about themselves. But the new research does suggest that dieting must be taken seriously by people at any weight.
It also means that dieting alone is not the best way to weight control. When a weight-loss program includes exercise, you lose more fat and less muscle, and you're not likely to gain the weight back. That's because exercise may help resist the physiological changes that tend to come from yo-yo dieting. Given the potential risks
of yo-yo dieting, anyone who diets should be especially careful not to gain the weight back. Before you diet, ask yourself how determined you are; then set reasonable goals.
Permanent weight loss should be the main goal, so select a program that will help you change your life-style. Be careful of popular diet programs designed for rapid weight loss and filled with senseless tricks, such as going on and off a diet, eating \"magic\" foods and so on. A program should focus on sensible changes in nutrition and life-style. The best approach is a low-fat, high-complex-carbohydrate diet and regular physical exercise.
To avoid failing in the diet, recognize and plan for high-risk situations. If you always overeat when you visit your parents, for example, figure out how to get around that before your next visit. Understand that desires for chocolate, say are like waves that come up, will quickly subside. When the desire comes, get busy with a simple activity reading or even brushing your teeth.

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A) B) C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 ared based on the following passage.
The warming of the Arctic is releasing a new wave of banned toxic chemicals that had been trapped in the ice and cold water, scientists have discovered.
The researchers warn that the amount of the poisons stored in the polar region is unknown and their release could “undermine global efforts to reduce environmental and human exposure to them.”
The chemicals leaking out as temperatures rise include DDT, lindane, chlordane, PCBs and HCBs. All of these persistent organic pollutants (Pops) are banned under the 2004 Stockholm Convention.
Pops can cause cancers and birth defects and take a very long time to degrade (降解), meaning they can be transported for long distances and accumulate over time. Over past decades, the low temperatures in the Arctic trapped volatile (易挥发的) Pops in ice and cold water. But scientists in Canada and Norway have now discovered that global warming is freeing the Pops once again.
They examined measurements of Pops in the air between 1993 and 2009 at the Zeppelin research station in Svalbard and Alert weather station in northern Canada. After allowing for the decline in global emissions of Pops, the team showed that the toxic chemicals are being remobilized by rising temperatures and the retreat of the sea ice, which exposes more water to the Sun. For example, air concentrations of PCBs and HCBs have shown a rising trend from about 2004 onwards.
Hayley Hung, a member of Environment Canada and of the team, said its work provided the first evidence of the releasing of Pops in the Arctic. “But this is the beginning of a story,” she said. “The next step is to find out how much is in the Arctic, how much will leak out and how quickly.” With the exception of lindane, there was
little existing knowledge of the scale of the Pops stored in high latitude (纬度) regions.
The fate of the frozen Pops depends on the speed of warming in the Arctic — it is currently heating up much more quickly than lower latitudes — as well as how the chemicals interact with snow and rain. Pops accumulate in fats and are therefore concentrated up the food chain, but Hung cautions that food chains themselves in the Arctic may be altered by climate change.
57. What have the researchers discovered in the Arctic?
A) The ice and cold water in the region contain banned toxic chemicals. B) Poisons stored in the region are leaking out due to global warming. C) The amount of toxic chemicals in the region could destroy all mankind. D) The ecosystem in the region has been changed by rising temperatures. 58. What do we learn about Pops from the passage? A) They pose a threat to marine life and humans. B) They are substances that are easily degraded. C) They can be found only in the polar region.
D) They will decrease in number if moving in the air.
59. By “the toxic chemicals are being remobilized” (Line 3, Para. 6), the author means that the Pops .
A) are taking in the form of ice or water B) are becoming more and more poisonous
C) are able to move easily and quickly in the water D) are no longer trapped in the ice and cold water
60. According to Hayley Hung, the scientists need to figure out . A) the harm the Pops will do to human beings B) why the Pops have been trapped in the ice C) the scale of the Pops stored in the Arctic D) how to eliminate the banned toxic chemicals 61. What is said about the warming in the Arctic?
A) Human activities have sped it up. C) It is affected by the release of the Pops. B) It may change the food chains. D) It happened earlier than other regions.
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
As the populations of the industrialized, developed nations mature, issues concerning the end of life become increasingly pressing. In the developing nations, and in all human societies in earlier historical periods, parasitic and infectious diseases were the principal causes of death. In contrast, the vast majority of the population in the developed nations today will die of late-life degenerative diseases, primarily heart disease, circulatory disease, and cancer—diseases that typically end with a long period of deterioration. Since the 1960s, physicians and patients have struggled with the accompanying moral debate. Is it preferable to try to prolong life in end-stage terminal illness, or to withhold and withdraw treatment?
In the 1980s and 1990s, the issue of physician-assisted suicide erupted into vigorous public debate. A number of events have brought the issue to the forefront. In 1991 Hemlock Society founder Derek Humphry published the how-to book Final Exit, which provided drug dosages suitable for ending one’s life. By his own estimation, physician Jack Kevorkian assisted in the suicides of more than 130 people before he was convicted of second-degree murder in 1999. In 1991 physician Timothy Quill acknowledged openly in the New England Journal of Medicine that he had provided his leukemia patient, Diane, with a prescription for drugs with which she could end her life.
Voters have considered the legalization of physician-assisted suicide through ballot referendums (公民投票)in California, Washington, Oregon, and Michigan. In 1997 the Supreme Court of the United States determined unanimously that there was no constitutional(宪法的) right to physician-assisted suicide. This decision meant that each state could set its own laws concerning this matter. Physician-assisted suicide is now legal in just one state, Oregon. Many other states have made it illegal, but legal ferment continues in many areas of the United States as well as in other countries. 59. The word “parasitic”(line 3, para1) probably means____ _____ A. headache B. painful
C. living off other people D. long-term
63. What is the author’s attitude towards the physician-assisted suicide?(B) A. optimistic B. neutral C. sustaining D. indifferent
64. Nowadays, people often face diseases that___ ___. A. infect other people very fast
B. relate to the worse environment of the world C. accompany with the faster pace of living
D. let people have a long-term period live with it.
65. at the end of the 20th century, debate on physician-assisted suicide in America became more_____ ___. A. agreeable B. difficult
C. controversial D. chaotic
66. We can infer from the last paragraph that the physician-assisted suicide is legal____ ____.
A. legal around America since 1997
B. legal in California, Washington, Oregon, and Michigan by voters C. legal only in Oregon.
D. un-legal because of the opposition of Supreme Court

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. For years researchers have debated whether smoking 67 the lungs of men and women differently. So far, there's been as much evidence against a sex 68 as for one. But that may be starting to change. In the most compelling study on the topic to date, researchers determined that women are twice as 69 to lung cancer as men but, in a surprising twist, they die 70 half the rate of men. The study, which was 71 last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (J.A.M.A.), included 9,427 men and 7,498 women from 72 North America who were healthy, at least 40 years old and either 73 or former smokers. 74 the course of more than eight years, a group of investigators led by Dr. Claudia Henschke of the Weill Medical College in New York City 75 lung tumors in 113 of the men and 156 of the women. Then the researchers kept track of 76 lived and for how long, as well as the treatment participants were given. The study showed that both sexes 77 to be in their late 60s when they received a lung-cancer 78 but that the women usually had smoked 79 less than the men. Still, at each 80 of lung cancer, the women lived longer than the men. Henschke argues that the J.A.M.A. findings are more scientifically rigorous than previous research because the doctors started following participants before anyone knew who would become sick. She and her colleagues are also trying to determine whether the experimental CT scans they used to find the tumors could help 81 lung cancers in current and former smokers at a much earlier stage, 82 increasing the likelihood of successful treatment. If the results reported in J.A.M.A. are 83 , there are a few hints 84 other research that might explain the sex difference. Women's bodies appear to have greater difficulty repairing the 85 to their genes caused by smoking, but there is also some evidence that estrogen, which is found in women's lungs as well as their ovaries, may 86 with some tumors' ability to grow. 67.

Competition
Competition makes people more creative and effective. It urges them to plan better, to try harder, and to achieve more. With a desire to excel in their work, people tend to perform more creatively and more efficiently。
Competition helps produce better products and provide better services. In the present world of intense competition, every manufacture tries his best to outmatch his competitor by producing goods of better quality at lower costs. As a result, consumers pay less and receive better service。
Competition promotes further development of society. If there were no competition, people would remain complacent and be unwilling to make any efforts or risk anything new. However, with fierce competition going on, they exert themselves to accomplish more. Their accomplishment will, in one way or another, contribute to the progress of society。

11. W: Having worked so hard these days, I believe you must be able to pass the final exam with flying colors.
M: I wish I could. But the truth is that the questions of the exam are all those that I have never seen before.
Q: What do we learn about the conversation?
12. M: Excuse me. I’d like to reserve one double room with a twin bed for this weekend.
W: I’m sorry, sir. I’m afraid there are not any vacancies available. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
13. W: Hello, Andy. I’m afraid your essay must be do today.
M: Oh, I’m awfully sorry, man. The paper stuff just slips my mind and I promise to turn it in the day after tomorrow.
Q: What’s the possible relationship between the two speakers?
14. W: What do you think of today’s lecture? I think Professor Smith is just wonderful.
M: To tell the truth, it is just not my cup of tea. It’s too long and I almost fall asleep. Q: How does the man feel about the lecture?
15. M: Excuse me. I don’t understand why flight 212 has been delayed. The weather seems fine today.
W: Very sorry, sir. It’s the engine of the plane that puts off the flight by half an hour. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
16. M: I thought it would be fun if we all went to see that movie downtown. Are you coming with me to the theater tonight, Susan?
W: I think we have to take a rain check due to my book report that is required by Professor Smith.
Q: What does the woman mean?
17. W: Have you fixed your radio, Andy?
M: I actually tried, but it’s really beyond my capability. Q: What do we know about the man?
18. W: Have you furnished your apartment you rent last week?
M: Yeah, I’ve found some second-hand furniture that was really a bargain. But before moving it into the house, I have to paint the room myself. Q: What do we learn about the conversation?
Conversation One
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
M: Hi, Betty. You look so wonderful today. It seems that you’ve got the scholarship. W: I wish I did, but in fact, I took a hike with my parents this weekend. M: Oh, that must be fantastic. Where did you go?
W: Not far away. We just went to the small hill two kilometers away from my house. But I do enjoy the beautiful flowers and blue sky there.
M: I believe you and your parents must walk a lot, but why do you come to the library so early? Don’t you need more rest?
W: Oh, didn’t you just say that I look wonderful? You know I have a paper to work on. And I have to finish it by the end of this afternoon.
M: Well, I see. It sounds that the hill you went to is just like a heaven. What else did you do there?
W: Yeah, it sure is. There is a small lake at the foot of the hill and its water is clear enough to see the fish in it.
M: Fish? Did you catch any fish?
W: I wanted to, but it is winter now. Not to mention to catch fish，I can hardly touch the water. It’s freezing.
M: What a pity. Did you take any photos?
W: Of course, hundreds of photos. I just wanted to catch every detail of the beautiful hill and I took photos until the power of the camera ran out. M: Well, I can hardly wait to see the photos.
W: They are all in my computer. I can send them to you by e-mail tonight. M: Thanks. Did you have a picnic there?
W: Yeah, it’s a perfect place to have a picnic. We brought a lot of stuff and we even had a barbecue there.
M: Well, it all sounds so relaxing.
W: Ok, I have to get back to my paper. You know I don’t have much time left. I will talk about it with you later.
19. What is the possible relationship between the two speakers? 20. Why did the woman come to the library so early? 21. Why didn’t the woman catch the fish? 22. What happened to the woman’s camera?
Conversation Two
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. W: Hi, Tom. How’s it going these days? M: Fine. Where are you heading? W: I’m on my way home from work. M: I didn’t know you had a job.
W: Yeah, I work part-time at the library because I really have a lot of spare time this semester.
M: What did you do there?
W: Well, I work in the information, giving suggestions to those looking for reference books. Sometimes when it really gets busy, I also help the librarians categorize the books. Have you got a job, Tom?
M: I really want to, but I do have a hard time with the reading list and the courses I signed up for this term. Well, it seems that you work there every day.
W: Yeah, I think that’s the trouble. There are times when I get pretty tired of answering different questions. But a job is a job.
M: I guess every job has its drawbacks. But today I do need some of your suggestions. I wonder if this book fits me.
W: Well, let me see. I think the book has little to do with the topic of your paper. I mean you plan to write the present conditions of the Chinese minorities, but this book is about all the minorities in the world. I think it’s too general.
M: Well, I’m afraid so. I think I have to look for another one. Thank you anyway. 23. What does the woman do at the library? 24. Why didn’t the man find a part-time job? 25. What is the woman’s suggestion to the man?

More and more artists are complaining about the fact their ideas and concept are stolen by “pirates”. Under such circumstances, a brand new method to protect artists’ benefits has been invented in the United States. The method is legally called copyright law. A copyright is a proof of authorship.

Under all the United States Copyright Law, several steps have to be taken in order to get the protection of the law. According to the present law, everything artists create is automatically and immediately protected. They don’t have to file any documents and make any applications and any changes artists made to their original works are covered. Furthermore, the Law also makes it clear that when someone buys the work of art, they are not allowed to destroy or change that work of art. Artists keep the copyright even after selling the work of art. The purchaser may buy the work, but the right to make prints or copies is still in the artists’ hands. Although works are automatically protected, artists are encouraged to register their work with United States Copyright Office because registering art provides additional legal protection.

Believe it or not, these monkeys are the graduates of the school for monkeys in India, where they were trained for one year to get their degrees. These monkey students are not the only ones in the world. Some monkeys are now being trained as nurses in an American medical college.

Passage 3
How did the native communities of the southeastern Canada convey information to one another? Generally they send information by messengers through oral telling. Among some tribes, messengers also used code based on birds and flowers. These birds and flowers as symbols stand for different meanings. For instance, white birds were used for news of peace, prosperity, or goodwill. Purple birds meant war, disaster or death. The messenger also carried messages for early European explorers and missionaries. One missionary described in the journals is how a messenger memorized 20 different detailed transactions, and delivered them. Sometimes the messages were written, not oral and will be passed from one messenger to another. When one messenger arrived to the edge of his tribe's territory, he would sell the letter to the next messenger, usually at a profit. If the letter passed through many hands before reaching the receiving end, the final bill could be very expensive. Questions 33 to35 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 33. What is this passage mainly about?
34. What event would probably have been symbolized by a purple bird? 35. What would cause a letter to be expensive to receive?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks you can
either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
When you (36)flew over certain parts of Nebraska and Texas by plane, you might notice some large areas appearing as bright green(37) circles many hundreds of feet across. This green is unusual in the high plain area where the (38)climate is very dry. These green patches are the result of a new (39)technique for mining the (40)underground water. In this technique, miners bore deep holes in the ground until they reach a (41)special geological formation. The water which has (42) collected in this formation for hundreds of years is called ground water. It is pumped up through the hole and sprayed over the land to (43)irrigate the crops. Raising crops such as cotton creates the fertile green areas. (44)These green areas apparently indicates that crop fields have increased greatly. However, they’ve created a serious environmental problem. The green does not definitely ensure a healthy and safe nature and actually bringing potential threat to everything around, especially the water. (45)The problem is that the ground water levels have dropped rapidly and it’s becoming more difficult and expensive to get the water. The worry about the water does not simply exist by theory and something serious does happen. In some parts of Texas, (46)water levels have declined by more than four hundred feet in thirty-two years. The process of using water faster than it can be replaced is widespread and serious.
