“My energy is soaring!” — Adrienne Farr

Adrienne’s busy career made it hard for her to follow a healthy diet. But when her scale topped 200 and her knees and back were aching, she knew it was time to a change. She told us that she had always battled her weight. In 21 days, THE DIGEST DIET helped Adrienne lose:

18.5 pounds

9.5 inches

And more that 7% of her body fat!

She says her back no longer aches and her knees feel better. She tells us, “I never thought it was possible to lose so much weight so quickly in such a healthy way. This is something I can do for the rest of my life.

“What’s better than seeing great results in a short 21 days?” — Wayne Nobes

Like so many, Wayne gained those “happiness pounds” in the first year of marriage. Too many nights of takeout and eating out left him overweight. But when his wife became pregnant with their first baby, everything changed. Wayne wanted to start fatherhood off on the right food, and on the THE DIGEST DIET he lost:

10 pounds

6.25 inches

And 7.5% of his total body fat

Today Wayne tells us he is feeling good from eating all the nutritious food. He says he is sleeping better and has more energy, which is definitely going to come in handy when their baby is born. He is thrilled that he can enjoy so many of the foods and flavors he loves, while still seeing a noticeable difference in the mirror.

“I can zip my size 10s!” — Dianne Rohan

Diane told us that she had battled her weight all her life. But once she hit her early 40s, nothing worked to help her lose. Her own doctor said, “You are middle aging!” Unwilling to accept that, she tried THE DIGEST DIET and in 21 days she lost:

11 pounds

8 inches

And almost 5% of her total body fat!

Now Diane tells us she feels less sluggish and her skin is clear and bright.

60. Adrienne Farr tried the digest diet because she _______

   A. was too busy to go on any diet

   B. had pain in her back and became thin

   C. had not enough money but some change

   D. wanted to change her health condition

61. Wayne Nobes _______.

   A. put on weight after he got married

   B. have never dined out since his marriage

   C. began the diet after his baby was born

   D. couldn’t eat what he wanted due to the diet

62. By saying “You are middle aging!” Diane’s doctor means _______.

   A. as a middle-aged woman she didn’t need to lose weight

   B. it was almost impossible for her to lose weight due to her age

   C. she hadn’t been trying her best to keep herself in good shape

   D. she should have dealt with her weight problem earlier

63. The passage is intended to ________.

   A. share with us some stories of successful people

   B. show the importance of keeping ourselves healthy

   C. instruct us on how to go on a proper diet

   D. advertise a special kind of slimming diet

第三部分閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）

When my daughter, Sophie, was admitted to a college we were very happy, but a little worried about becoming empty nesters. I knew I had to do something to help myself adapt, starting with the summer before she left.

Sophie had a pack of colorful T-shirts. I knew she wouldn’t wear them any more, so I decided to make a quilt out of them for her bed at college. It focused my energy, and also let me relive some memories. I tried to work on the quilt when Sophie wasn’t at home----which turned out to be often. She was very busy with her friends. Even when she was around, her door was shut more than usual. I felt a bit hurt. After all, we didn’t have much time together before she went to college, I was already missing her, and she hadn’t ever left yet.

When we arrived at the college, a wave of emotion flooded me. I tried to hold it back, but Sophie saw it in my face. She took a big red book from her bag. “ I made this for you, Mom,” she said. Then I knew why she had been staying behind a closed door that summer. It was an album of photographs documenting the life of our family over the last 17 years.

I broke into tears. Some of it was sadness at having to let her go, but some of it was joy. I knew that our connection was more powerful than ever, and that we’d always be connected by the strongest of threads, the love that went into every stitch of her quilt and every photo of my album.

In Sophie’s dormitory I unfolded the quilt on her bed. For a moment she was speechless. Then she threw her arms around me . “Mom, I love you,” she said. One of her new friends was calling her outside. Sophie turned, and I let her go.

56.What do we learn about Sophie from the passage?

A. She did not understand how her mother felt about her leaving.

B. She had few friends, and kept to herself at home that summer.

C. She made a photo album to show her love.

D. She liked her colorful T-shirts very much.

57.Why did the author feel hurt, according to the second paragraph?

A. Because Sophie was not interested in what she was doing.

B.Because Sophie had little time for her.

C.Because Sophie was going to leave home for a long time.

D.Because Sophie did not help her to make the quilt.

58.How did the author feel when they arrived at the college?

A. She felt worried.

B.She felt nervous.

C.She was sorry to be leaving her daughter.

D.She missed her daughter very much.

59.Why did the author finally let her daughter go?

A. She realized that her daughter had to go to college by herself.

B.She realized that the love between them would never be cut off.

C.Sophie’s present had made her forget her sorrow.

D.Sophie’s new friends were calling her outside the dormitory.
