Barack Obama makes his first trip to Asia as president this week, leaving behind a host of domestic (国内的) problems with the visit that recognizes the region’s economic and diplomatic importance. “Obama”s trip includes stops in Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea, and his message will be simple, says Nicolas Lardy at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “Well, I think his broadest aim is to convince Asians that the United States is fully committed to the region that we have an agenda that’s much broader than they saw over the past eight years of the very heavy focus on anti-terrorism.”

Obama’s first stop is Japan, where he meets with the new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who has promised to steer a diplomatic course more independent of Washington. While Japan is seen as a getting-to-know-you stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on trade. “Many Asians are concerned about what US trade policy will be, and they’ve been somewhat alarmed by the fact that the president really hasn’t set out very much revision for what US trade policy is in his administration.”

But the critical leg of the trip will come in China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the complex relationship with the country that is the largest holder of US debt. “As you say, you know, if you owe the bank one dollar, it’s your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million dollars, it’s the bank’s problem, so it’s similar with China. I mean they have no interest in trying to use the influence with us, because eventually, they’re the one that they own all those dollars.”

Also on the table will be North Korea and Iran’s nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan.

With Obama enjoying sky high popularity level in the countries he is visiting, detailed results may be beside the point, given that Obama is still in his first year in office, analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the ground work for the future. 68、From the second paragraph, we can infer that .

A．Japan has not been the closest friend of America

B．Japan and Singapore will give America some pressure on trade C．Japan is concerned about what US trade policy will be D．Japan decides not to rely on America too much

69、The word“leg”in the third paragraph probably means .

A．one of the parts of a football match that is played in two halves B．the two long parts of your body that your feet are joined to C．one of the upright parts that supports a piece of furniture

D．a part of a long journey or process that is done one part at a time

70、What can you infer about China’s relation with America in the third paragraph?

A．China will sell all its shares in US national debt. B．It will hurt China if the value of the dollar falls. C．China will not be the largest debt holder of US.

D．China is US’ s overseas bank where US can borrow money. 71、The author develops the passage mainly . A．by examples B．by cause and effect C．by comparison D．by order in time

Let’s face it. No one drinks diet soda for the taste. People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.

Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those of people who didn’t drink diet soda. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drinks, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler.

The study was based on data from 474 participants in a larger, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.

While the findings were surprising, they also offer some explanations.

Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet soda, they don’t lose weight at all. “We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers.

So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet, but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet soda, and so over-compensate for the missing calories.

A related study found some sweeteners（甜味剂）raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said study researcher Helen P. Hazuda, professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine. “They” may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”

72、People drink diet soda to ________.

A．stay in fashion B．enjoy its taste

C．gain more energy D．achieve weight loss 73、The new study suggests that drinking diet soda ________.

A．helps people to be healthier B．cause people to become heavier C．offers people more calories D．makes people much thinner 74、We can learn from the passage that ________. A．diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food

B．regular soda makes people lose more weight C．most blood diseases come from diet soda

D．diet soda does help reduce calories

75、The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.

A．diet sodas and artificial sweeteners B．sweeteners C．diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers D．sodas
