全文翻译：
节食减肥——危险地带
无糖可乐，无糖雪碧，减肥药丸，零脂肪节食餐，素食……无论我们看到什么，听到什么，我们都被“节食减肥”这个词包围。我们如此轻易地被节食减肥产品的承诺和潜力所吸引，以至于我们没有想过节食减肥产品对于我们有没有影响。我们正在花钱买那些对我们身心都有伤害的产品。
节食减肥产品在心理上削弱我们。从一个层面上说，我们不允许自己的大脑接受这样的事实：我们的体重问题并不只要减去重量就可以，还应该控制高脂肪、高卡路里以及不健康食品的摄入。节食减肥产品让我们跳过这个思想层面，直接去称重。我们要做的就是认清食物标签上的“节食减肥”字样，然后大快朵颐。
从另外一个层面上看，节食减肥产品还有更大的心理影响。每次我们在喝零卡路里饮料的时候，我们下意识告诉自己我们不需要努力就能减肥成功。节食减肥产品让人们认为不播种就能收获，生活也可以无需抵抗和奋斗。
节食减肥产品对我们的危害性不仅是心理上的，还是生理上的。节食减肥食物会间接伤害我们的身体，因为吃这些产品而不吃健康食品意味着我们阻止自己的身体汲取基础营养成分。节食减肥食品和减肥药丸没有卡路里，仅仅是因为节食工业已经研制出了一种产生如此神效的化学品。节食减肥产品也许没营养，而且它里面的化学成分有可能是危险的。
既然我们已经知道了节食减肥产品对我们的影响，我们就应该认真想想是不是应该买它们。减肥在于心志的力量，不在于化学的力量。只要我们意识到这一点，我们就将更好地抵制这些节食减肥产品，从而阻止因使用它们而造成的伤害。

2014年5月15日阅读理解练习题
阅读理解：
Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds—horning pigeons!
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however , may in face be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind—one that avoid not only colleting money but going out to steal the car in the first place . Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.
The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars –seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.
1．After the car owner received a phone call. He
A．went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
B．gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
C．sent some money to the thief by mail
D．told the press about it
2．The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to .
A．the car thief who stays at home
B．one of those who put the ads in the paper
C．one of the policemen in Changwa
D．the owner of the pigeons
3．We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because .
A．he reads the ads in the newspaper
B．he lives in the same neighborhood
C．he has seen the car owners in the park
D．he has trained the pigeons to follow them
