of Miami, Florida. Dr. Agatston developed the South Beach diet for his patients with heart problems
to lose weight. Since weight matters a lot in keeping heart healthy and traditional low-fat diets were too
difficult for them to stick to, Dr. Agatston decided to create a plan that could help his patients. At first,
the diet was just for his patients. Soon, thanks to his patients" success, the diet became the buzz in
Miami, and eventually, word spread across the nation.
This diet focuses on a healthy balance between carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and fats. It is based
on eating a combination of "good" carbohydrates and fats, while limiting those "bad" ones. It is divided
into three different phases.
The first phase lasts for two weeks and is the strictest of the three. During this phase, you are asked
to restrict (限制) all carbohydrates (good and bad). You are allowed to eat all types of fish, cheeses,
eggs, and nuts, and a large number of vegetables. Most dieters can expect to lose between 8 and 12
pounds during this phase.
During Phase 2, you are allowed to reintroduce some of those carbohydrates that are not allowed
before. You are encouraged to start eating carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index (升糖指数).
But you should keep in mind that the key is moderation (适度). Most people continue to lose 1-2
pounds per week. You continue with this phase until you reach your target weight.
Phase 3 is designed to help you keep your weight. During Phase 3, you can reintroduce some of
the carbohydrates that have a higher glycemic index, although again, this should be in moderation. Phase
3 is meant to be a way of life.

Giving an unwanted gift you received to someone else (regifting) is not considered as unacceptable
as in the past. Many Americans begin to regift and they think that regifting is okay most of the time. But
what should you avoid when regifting?
First of all, a gift card hidden in a gift box can easily get passed along in error. Therefore, take the
card out of the old packaging, buy a new one and take a little extra time to make the packaging look
fresh and attractive.
Secondly, people like to believe the gifts they receive are chosen with thought and consideration. If
you tell someone that the necklace you are giving is the one your aunt gave you last year, what you are
really saying is that you are giving them something you think is ugly or useless.
Thirdly, there is a big difference between regifting an unused gift and one that you have used just for
a short time and decided you no longer want. Remember, a regift is a new thing. A hand-me-down is an
item you"ve used and offer to someone else when you decide you no longer use it.
Most importantly, avoid giving a regift to friends who originally gave the gift to you. If the regift is
given, you risk getting caught for giving it away to the person who gave it to you.
In a word, regifting is a wonderful way to save money and when it is done with thought, we can
achieve the goal of why we are giving a gift to someone in the first place - because we want them to have
something they will enjoy.
1. You are advised to give a new packaging to a gift mainly because .
A. Americans like something new and attractive
B. it shows that the card has never been used
C. you can avoid giving the gift receiver wrong things.
D. it shows that the gift is chosen with thought
2. The worst thing happens when you .
A. regift a hand-me-down item
B. regift what you don"t like
C. regift something wrapped in the original packaging
D. regift to the person who gave it to you
3. The main purpose of the writer is to tell us .
A. it"s common to regift in America
B. the things we should avoid when regifting
C. regifting can cause mistakes
D. what are the proper things to regift
4. We can conclude from the text that the key to regifting is to .
A. do it with thought
B. pay attention to what you say
C. save as much money as possible
D. make the regift look new and attractive
previous year, as the shorthand (简略的表达方式) communication becomes a popular alternative to
cell phone calls.
The nation"s 270 million cell phone subscribers (用户) each sent out an average of 407 text messages
in 2008, according to the government statistics. That"s more than double the 188 messages sent by the
average cell subscriber in 2007.
At the same time, the average length of a cell phone call declined last year to 2.3 minutes. That"s the
shortest chat time since the 1990s, before mobile devices and cheap calling plans became widely available to everyday consumers. The longest talk time came in 2004, when a caller on average chatted for 3.05
minutes.
Text messaging first became popular in Europe and Asia because it"s much cheaper to send short
text messages than make an actual phone call. "We are seeing a clear trend of huge increases in text
messaging," said Amanda Lenhart, senior research specialist at the Pew Internet and American Life
Project. "If teens are leaders of America, then we are moving to a text-based communication system.
For them, there is less interest in talking."
Lenhart said about two-thirds of all teens use text messaging, mostly due to its simplicity as well as
the privacy of being able to communicate without being overheard (偶然听到). She predicted that text
messaging would continue to grow as parents began using it as an easy way to reach their kids.
The data are part of the Census Bureau"s annual Statistical Abstract of the United States. The agency
collects the latest statistics from the government and private sources, so researchers, academics and
businesses can find them in one place.
1. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of text massaging?
A. It"s simple to send text messages.
B. It"s easy for parents to learn.
C. Sending text messages is more private than making phone calls.
D. Sending text messages is cheaper than making phone calls.
2. We can infer from the text that .
A. cell phones will be frequently used in American families
B. text messages will increase in length in the future
C. text massaging will completely replace making phone calls in future
D. text massaging will become more popular in the years to come
3. The text is mainly about .
A. the increase of text messages in America
B. the alternatives to phone calls in America
C. the various means of communication in America
D. the development of American communication system
