28、er was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming childrens videos(录像) in her own house.

35、ble diet We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.

36、lly（身体上）. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.

37、inking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

43、mes without pain” probably means _.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories54.
