DCBB解析：10.D推断题。由最后一段我们可以看出作者主要针对糖尿病人。11.C细节题。由Itcontainsusefulinformationandmayhelpyoutalktoyourdoctor可知答案。12.B词义题。从第一段我们知道，作者希望糖尿病人注意自己的胆固醇数字，接下来，作者在第二段提醒人们要一本免费的ChoLESterol，因此我们可以推断ChoLESterol是向人们介绍如何降低胆固醇的。13.B推断题。在本文中作者首先提出让人们注意胆固醇数字，接着向人们介绍ChoLESterol，因此作者写这篇文章的目的是帮助那些胆固醇数字高的人们。18.Everyonehastherighttoadviseyoutogoonadiet,_____?[
