Have you got a Facebook account? Are you thinking of getting one? Jamie Simmonds has just signed up. Let"s see how she"s getting along.
My Diary MONDAY: I"m officially a Facebooker. I find a few people I used to know and I"ve soon got seven friends. I"ve never felt so popular! I wonder if my old university flatmate Steve is on here…What do you know! He is! Maybe Facebook has its uses. TUESDAY: I"ve received lots of nice welcoming messages on my wall. Later, I meet up with Steve for a drink after not seeing him for five years. We get on really well! Then, he uses his Facebook app for iPhone to suggest me as a friend to some other former classmates. Some of them even come to the pub and it"s just like old times - possibly a bit too much like old times. During the night, photos are uploaded to Facebook. WEDNESDAY: Disaster! My mum"s on Facebook! Has she seen the photos of me dancing on the table from last night? Has she shown them to dad? Oh. And I have a friend request - mum again! THURSDAY: There"s a message from my boyfriend, "so, it"s over then, is it?" Evidently I haven"t changed my settings to show I"m "in a relationship", and I haven"t even added him as a friend. Ah, well, I wonder what my ex-boyfriend is doing… Whoops! I accidentally type his name into my status box instead of the search "oox, and now every one can see it on their news feed. FRIDAY: rime to update my status: "Work is boring. Can"t wait for the weekend!" Yeah, that about sums it up. Oh, look, I"ve received a comment! Someone must feel the same way. Lots of my friends now "1ike" this status. SATURDAY: Good news! I"ve got 100 friends but wait! Someone"s "un-friended" me! I look through my "friend list" to try to work out who it was. Why did they do that? Am I really such a terrible person? I never knew Facebook could be this cruel. SUNDAY: Wake up. Check my Facebook page. Make coffee. Check my Facebook page again. Get ready to leave. Change my mind and check my Facebook page … |

These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法 律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items. | 1. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are . | A. objective B. costly C. unreliable D. illegal | 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? | A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products. B. New products are more likely to be questionable. C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA. D. The promoters usually just care about profits. | 3. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product | A. if it is a drug B. if it is a device C. if its consumers make complaints D. if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority | 4. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as . | A. a product which was designed to produce electricity B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product D. an example of a quality beauty product | 5. The author intends to . | A. make consumers aware of the promoters" false promises B. show the weakness of the law on product safety C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful D. introduce the organization of FDA | 阅读理解。 下面文章中有5处(第1-5题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段意思的小标题,选项中有一项是多余选项。 | A. Manufacturing industry in information economy B. News in the age of information C. Argument about individual accounts and their reliability D. Be your own investigative journalist E.
