　　Let’s face it.No one drinks diet sodas for the taste.People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it.Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect，according to a new study.

　　Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn’t drink diet sodas.“What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank，the more weight they were likely to gain，” said Sharon Fowler.

　　The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large，ongoing research project，where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.

　　While the findings are surprising，they also offer some explanations.

　　Nutrition expert，Melanie Rogers，who works with overweight patients in New York，has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas，they don’t lose weight at all.“We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily，and that was confusing to us，” said Rogers.

　　So why would diet soda cause weight gain？No one knows for sure yet，but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas，and so over­compensate for the missing calories.

　　A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice.“Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky，” said Helen P．Hazuda，professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine.“They may be free of calories，but not of consequences.”

　　1．People drink diet sodas to________.

　　A．enjoy its taste

　　B．stay in fashion

　　C．achieve weight loss

　　D．gain more energy

　　2．The new study suggests that drinking diet sodas________.

　　A．causes people to become heavier

　　B．helps people to be healthier

　　C．makes people much thinner

　　D．offers people more calories

　　3．We can learn from the passage that________.

　　A．regular sodas make people lose more weight

　　B．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food

　　C．diet sodas do help reduee caloriesD．most blood diseases come from diet sodas

　　4．The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to “________”．

　　A．sweeteners

　　B．diet sodas and artificial sweeteners

　　C．sodas

　　D．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers

　　Have you ever wondered why each of us has different handwriting？Handwriting，also known as

　　brain writing，is as individual to the person as fingerprints.Occupations，relationships，personal problems as well as health­related issues can be identified

　　in

　　a

　　person’s

　　writing.Analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s and originated in Europe.Is handwriting analysis scientific?

　　OK，you

　　ask，so

　　what

　　traits

　　can

　　be

　　found

　　while

　　analyzing

　　handwriting？Many traits can be shown provided the writing is in cursive (草书的)，because printing has some limitations.Cursive provides the analyst with the upstrokes (向上的一笔) in writing which are very important.Many personality traits including being outgoing，temper，anger towards the opposite sex，generosity and hundreds more can be found when analyzing handwriting.

　　Handwriting is very interesting because not only can you change your personality and watch your writing change as well，but also the reverse is true！Sometimes there are personality traits that we wish we did not have，but we don’t know how to get rid of them.One way to change your personality is to use handwriting therapy.The person learns how to change their writing to rid themselves of unwanted traits，and practices this under the watchful eye of a trained graphologist (笔迹学家)．

　　Handwriting analysis is becoming a recognized part of therapy.Analyzing handwriting has many different aspects.For instance，it is used in the court of law when dealing with fake documents.Companies are beginning to hire handwriting analysts to assist them in finding the right person for the right job.This is because handwriting analysis is a science—it is not guesswork.It is used as a tool to determine the compatibility (适应性) of an individual to the requirements of a job as well as the compatibility of one individual to another.

　　All in all，handwriting analysis is scientific and has endless possibilities.Next time you see someone’s signature or handwriting，you now know that this person’s personality is right out there in front of you，just waiting to be discovered!

　　5．Which of the following is not associated with handwriting according to

　　the first paragraph?

　　A．fingerprints. B．occupations.

　　C．relationships.

　　D．personal problems.

　　6．Why do people want to make handwriting analysis?

　　A．Because analyzing handwriting goes back to the 1600s. B．Because analyzing handwriting originated in Europe.

　　C．Because many personality traits can be found in handwriting.

　　D．Because printing has some limitations. 7．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

　　A．Handwriting is very interesting.

　　B．Handwriting therapy can help change your personality.

　　C．Your personality can change your handwriting.

　　D．Your handwriting is hard to change.

　　8．Companies hire handwriting analysts________.

　　A．to beautify the employees’ signature

　　B．to deal with fake documents

　　C．to decide the requirements of a job

　　D．to help find the right employee

　　9．We can infer from the last paragraph that________.

　　A．there are still many waiting to be discovered in handwriting

　　B．discovering a person’s personality is difficult

　　C．handwriting analysis makes no sense

　　D．different people have different handwriting
