10.Le Whif,an inhaler (吸入剂) that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight,is to be on market in British stores.The invention,called the world's first breatheable food,lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one calorie.Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their waistline.The lip-stick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles (粒子) which are small enough to be carried by air,but too large to enter the lungs.Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about eight to ten whiffs (一阵气味) and costs﹩1.99 on its own,or﹩4.99 a pack of three.The inhaler is available in chocolate as well as coffee flavor.
It was invented by Prof.David Edwards.He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences,such as allowing people to try a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meal.
He said,"In terms of living on whiffing,we aren't even close to being there.But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently,and choosing food for its aesthetic (审美的) pleasure.We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months.It is reasonable to predict that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered."
The product came onto market in Paris in 2009and the first production run of 25,000inhalers were sold out within a month.It has since been made available across France and in the US.In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month,after which it could become more widely distributed.

解答 64-66ADB
64:A 细节题.由第一段第一句"Le Whif,an inhaler(吸入剂) that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight,is to be on market in British stores."中的"to be on market in British stores"可知 Le Whif 现在还不能在英国被买到,故正确答案为A.
65:D 细节题.由第三段第二句"He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences,"可知发明Le Whif的目的是为了增加人们的就餐经历,故正确答案为D.
66:B 细节题.由第四段第三句"We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months."可知David同意吸入剂在未来还有待改善,故B项正确.A项,由第四段第三句"We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months."可知A项错误.C项,由第三段第二句"He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food…"可知 Le Whif 不能代替食物,因此不能让人们吃更少的东西,所以C项错误.D项,文中没有相关内容,所以D项错误.故正确答案为B.
