　　Chocolate which hepls you lose weight by actually burning calories as you eat it ? It sounds wonderful．

　　OFT Director of Consumer Protection Mike Haley said,“Miracle health tricks target people who are eager to lose weight or find a cure． The products are often worthless and can even be dangerous with untested and possibly harmful ingredients（成分）。”

　　The OFT yesterday warned consumers about the adverts for Slim-Choc, which were contained in junk mail sent to thousands of homes acorss Britain．

　　The company chaimed that eating the “slimming chocolate”could help users lose 20lbs in just 20 days, without exercising or cutting back on food．

　　The tricks claimed this was a “brand new revolutionary cure for the overweight”,and it was “the first and only cholcolate that burns off fat”． Thousands were persuaded to pay ￡ 37 for a 40-day supply．

　　When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh．Whenever I was "bad" , you'd shake your finger at me and ask : " How could you?"—but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．

　　Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets．You've made the right decision for your "family" , but there was a time when I was your only family．

　　I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound．It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness．You filled out the paperwork and said: "I know you will find a good home for her．" They shrugged and gave you a pained look．The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye．And "How could you?" were the only three words that swept over my mind．

　　Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream．

　　My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever．I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me．

　　The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the

　　coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial（冰川的）activity of the Ice Age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier descended, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.

　　As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Marine fossils（生物化石） found here are 225 feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.

　　The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged(参差不齐的） coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly 2,000 islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to blooming communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly formed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long.

　　For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, has afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently, though, Bar Harbor has become a new arts community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.

　　The establishment of Acadia National park in 1916 means that this natural monument will be preserved and that it will be available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, hiking, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the museum learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.

　　68．The large number of small islands along the coast of Maine is the result of _________.

　　A. the drowning of the Maine coastline

　　B. glacier’s forcing mountains into the sea

　　C. the irregularity of the Maine coastline

　　D. ocean water’s flooding the mountain range

　　69．From the passage, we learn that __________.

　　A. the coastline of Maine is ten times longer after the Ice Age

　　B. there are more than 2500 islands along the Maine coastline

　　C. Mt. Desert Island has been broken apart by a 7-mile-long water stretch

　　D. an arts community gave way to the summer homes on Mt. Desert Island

　　70．What CANNOT be inferred about the Acadia Nation Park?

　　A. It welcomes all the people, rich or poor.

　　B. It has much appeal for bird-watching lovers.

　　C. It offers visitors both entertainment and education.

　　D. It is a border between the two geographical zones.

　　71．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

　　A. The past and the present of Maine

　　B. The formation of Maine coastline

　　C. Efforts for preserving national parks

　　D. Tourist attractions on Mt. Desert Island

　　Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid(酸) accumulation in your body．

　　Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods．When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form．These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food．When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream．In both instances, the result is obesity(肥胖症）．When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat．Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic．To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs．

　　Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat．Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle．The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells．The body’s metabolism(新陈代谢)becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity．

　　The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient．When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common．

　　To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body．Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help．It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance．You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production．If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach．

　　72．It can be inferred from Para．2 that _______．

　　A．foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit

　　B．we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods

　　C．it is essential for people to protect their vital organs

　　D．giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle

　　73．Processed foods are unhealthy because they _______．

　　A．destroy body’s cells

　　B．may lead to obesity

　　C．are difficult to digest

　　D．stop body’s metabolism．

　　74．What is the main purpose of this passage?

　　A．To warn people of the problem of obesity．

　　B．To advocate eating more raw and whole foods．

　　C．To inform people of the harm of processed foods．

　　D．To tell the differences between raw and processed foods．

　　75．What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?

　　A．Different causes of acid accumulation．

　　B．Correct ways to cook raw foods．

　　C．Suitable types of raw and whole foods．

　　D．Active approaches to avoid acid．
