Passage Three
Americans are well known for the strange diets they always seem to be following.It seems that Americans like to diet almost as much as they like to eat.New types of diet plans are always coming out.Usually,though,they don't stay popular for long.
There are many diets on the market.It is often difficult to know which ones really work.It's also hard to believe how fast a dieter is supposed to shed pounds.A lot has been written about dieting.And some interesting facts about diets and foods have been discovered.
For example,did you know that the more celery you eat,the more weight you will lose?Celery has“negative”calories.The body burns up more calories digesting a piece of celery than there are in the celery stick itself.
Dieters?shun?potatoes because they think they are fattening.But they aren't.A potato has about the same number of calories as an apple.To gain a single pound,you would have to eat eleven pounds of potatoes!
Some dieters even worry about getting fat from licking postage stamps.But they have nothing to worry about.The glue on an average stamp has only about one-tenth of a calorie.Maybe a diet of post-age stamps would be popular?

One could conclude from this passage that______

A.dieting is not a healthy practice
B.everyone diets
C.there is only one good way to lose weight
D.dieting can be confusing

Passage Three

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.

At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.

Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need help and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?' Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁); just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
