However, putting volunteers on a fruit- and vegetable-heavy diet for months made no long-term difference in their assessments of their own hunger and fullness, researchers found.Some doctors have hoped that encouraging people to eat greater volumes of fruits and veggies might help them feel full for longer and prevent overeating and weight gain. But the new study suggests loading up with more carrots and oranges every day wont stop hunger over the long run. The findings follow results from the same trial showing 34 participants, some overweight, some a healthy weight, gained between 3.5 and 5 pounds when they were given eight weeks of fruit juice to be added to their diet.“If you tell people to add anything to their diet, youre going to potentially have no weight loss, even with fruits and vegetables,” said Barbara Rolls, chair of nutritional sciences at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park.Thats especially true for drinks, she said, since the body regulates hunger and thirst differently and people will not eat less to make up for juice or other calorie-filled drinks.Richard Mattes from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and his colleagues found that when they fed volunteers a regular lunch, they ate an average of 785 or 821 calories of it, depending on the day. When the same participants started a meal with fresh and dried fruit, and then went on to the main course, they ended up eating 678 calories of lunch, the fruit course included. When they started with fruit juice instead, the volunteers took in a total of 891 calories.31. According to the experiment, we know that .A. a fruit- and vegetable-heavy diet only has a short-term effectB. drinking plenty of fruit juice leads to weight lossC. children should eat more fruit and vegetablesD. most participants achieve the goal to reduce weight32. According to what Barbara Rolls said, we know that .A. most of people prefer juice to fruit and vegetablesB. adding juice to the diet can help people stay fullC. people always feel hungry and thirsty at the same timeD. adding fruit to the diet cant make people lose weight33. Which of the following ways is more effective in weight loss?A. Drinking enough fruit juice before your meal.B. Having three meals at the fixed time every day.C. Eating fresh and dried fruit before your meal.D. Eating plenty of carrots and apples.34. What does the underlined word “appetizer” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Sweet food eaten at the end of a meal.B. Things eaten or drunk before a meal to encourage the appetite. C. Things eaten to help people make weight control easier.D. Things that make people absorb more nutrition.BThere was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old. I would get up every morning at the orphanage (孤儿院), make my bed and go to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in the same dormitory. After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent (宿舍管理员) chasing the beautiful butterflies who lived by the hundred in the bushes around the orphanage. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, took them out from the net and then stuck straight pins (别针) through their head and wings, pinning them on a heavy cardboard sheet. How cruel it was to kill something of great beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close. When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the butterfly he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and trying to get away but it was still pinned by the other wing with a straight pin. Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled. I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly. I tried to make it stick back on so it could fly away before the house parent came back. But it would not stay on the butterfly. The house parent came walking back out of the back door by the garbage room and started shouting at me. I told him that I did not do anything but he did not believe me. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it into the garbage can. Then he left. I tried to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard. So I put them into an old shoe box and buried them in the bottom of the bushes. Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die. 35. When the house parent went to answer the telephone, the writer .A. tried stealing the cardboard paper that was left on the back stepB. tried his best to save a live butterfly that was caught just nowC. dropped the cardboard on the floor and stepped on it angrilyD. picked some butterflies down and put them into his album36.

The butterfly pieces should have gone with the wind.D. The butterfly pieces should be thrown away like the garbage.38.

One day, his father turned up with a colorful plant and said, “Tomorrow when you leave for work, simply touch the youngest of the leaves and say, To you I leave my household problems, for now I am a man of the world.; when you return from work at night, touch the same leaf and say, I am returning to my wife and kids, and Im not a man troubled by his work.” Before long the young man regained balance in his life. If only everyone could find a plant like that! This is probably the most serious mistake one can make as a parent and a family person bringing work home. It just spoils everything! The best thing to do is to reach your office a little early and leave a little late, rather than carry work home. That way, you can be completely there for your kids once you are home.Just as it is important not to bring work home, it is also important to leave family problems and tensions home before you step into the office. Carrying family problems to the workplace is totally unprofessional. If you are going to come to the office and youre still stuck up on your childs homework, your boss is not going to like it. The best way to take care of this is to completely put yourself into the task at hand, so that you can block out anything else that may be a distraction. Use two different phones, one for your professional life and one for your family and friends. That way, you can choose who you want to be available to at what time in the day and on which days of a week. The weekend is a time in the week when you can totally be a family man or woman.
