Dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? Well, for one thing, they’re always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible foods they eat leave them permanently dissatisfied. “Wonderfood is a complete food”, the advertisement says. “Just dissolve(溶解) a teaspoonful in water…”. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. And, of course, they’re always miserable because they feel so guilty. Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they may rush to eat five huge cream cakes at a time. And who can blame them? At least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. What torture（折磨） it is always watching others swallowing piles of mouth-watering food while you only have a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice!

　　What’s all this torture for? Saintly people keep themselves away from food to achieve a state of grace. Unsaintly people do so to achieve a state of misery. It will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!

　　1. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?

　　A. New ways of controlling weight are needed. B. We should all have second helpings and grow fat.

　　C. Many diseases are connected with overweight. D. Trying to be slim is not an excuse for suffering.
