22、   Dieters have long sworn that grapefruit helps them lose weight. The Grapefruit Diet, also called the Hollywood Diet, dates back to the 1930s and has a host of celebrity fans including singer Kylie Minogue. It involves having grapefruit or grapefruit juice with every meal while cutting back on calories.

Now, scientists are beginning to believe them.

A study has found that drinking grapefruit juice when eating fatty food lowers the amount of weight put on by up to a fifth.

The research also suggested that grapefruit could be as good as prescription drugs at keeping blood sugar levels under control—a key part of managing diabetes.

The experiments were conducted on mice—but researchers say the results are true for humans. Professor Joseph Napoli, of the University of California, Berkeley, said, “We see all sorts of tricks about nutrition. But these results, based on controlled experiments, make it necessary to study the potential health-promoting properties of grapefruit juice further.”

The researchers found that when the mice were fed fatty food for three months, those given grapefruit juice to drink gained up to 18 percent less weight than those given water.

They also had lower blood sugar and insulin levels—despite eating the same number of calories and doing the same amount of exercise as the mice who drank water. In fact, grapefruit juice was as good at controlling insulin as the widely used diabetes drugs, the journal PLOS ONE reports.

However, the fruit juice only had an effect on weight when the animals ate fatty food. The researchers said they did not know how grapefruit stops the pounds from piling on.

Spokesman Mariette Abrahams, a dietician, said until then it is too early for people to try grapefruit diets. “Grapefruit should be part of a healthy balanced diet, but it shouldn’t be the focus of the diet.” she said.

1What can be known about the Hollywood Diet?

A.It’s the origin of the Grapefruit Diet.

B.It was more popular in the 1930s than any time.

C.It may appeal to fat people.

D.Scientists may think it is nonsense.

2What did the experiments on mice show?

A.They should have been conducted on humans.

B.The results apply to humans too.

C.Grapefruit could cure diabetes.

D.Mice prefer grapefruit juice to water.

3In which case will grapefruit juice make a difference to weight loss?

A.The mice with high blood sugar.

B.The mice doing a lot of exercise.

C.The mice on a fatty diet.

D.The mice taking prescription drugs.

4What’s the best title of the text?

A.Nutrition of Grapefruit

B.Experiment on Grapefruit

C.Grapefruit Makes a Hit

D.Grapefruit Helps Keep Fit

23、When my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock. ”He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words.

When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.

As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants.

For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. . David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.

Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boy to encourage his enthusiasm for observation.

That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.
