At some point I noticed that people were staring at me. The box boys at the supermarket spoke to me with respect. People were mistaking me for somebody else. It had to be somebody who weighed close to 300 pounds and wore a full beard. I enjoyed the way people would suddenly turn to look at me as if I wore wings. Nobody mentioned my namebut naturally they assumed I knew who I was. I could hardly ask, “By the waywho am I?”

As a result of being in the public eyeI began to change myself. I kept my shoes shined. AlsoI changed shirts every day. The more I changedthe more second looks I received. From enjoying the attentionI began to long for it. Id always felt I was somebody special. Now others were finally realizing it.

But who did people think I wasI must have been a movie staror at least a television personality. Then one evening I was sitting at a bus stop in Westwood Village when two young men in an old car looked up at me with that expression I had come to recognize as a respect to my talent and success. One of them said, “HelloDom!” So that was who I wasOnce I imagined that well-known comedianI realized I couldnt have been anybody else. I gave my young fans a big celebrity grin and said, “Helloboys!” I waved one hand with a welcome-to-Hollywood gesture they would be talking about for years.

I also realized that it was time to go on a diet. I ate more salads and vegetables. I laid off the carbohydrates. I walked a couple of miles every day. When I had lost about 40 poundsI shaved off my beard. I didnt realize that my barber had actually been trying to make me look like the fat Dom DeLuise. I waited for my clients to ask, “What did you do to yourself?” But nobody even noticed a change. I melted back into the general population.

  Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart.A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.

  The result:10% fewer heart attacks.8% fewer storkes.4% fewer deaths.11% fewer new cases of heart disease.And 240 billion dollars in health care savings.

  Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year.

  The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California San Francisco was the lead author.She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day.The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.

  Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium(钠), which is how foods may list their salt content.

  The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day.The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people.It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also risen.Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.

  New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative.The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants.Critics call it government interference.

  Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information.Now a study by the Seattle Children's Research Institute shows that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children.

Ever tried taking smart drugs to perform better in exams? They

certainly work.Before last summer's exam, a few of my mates, merely

out of curiosity, took a considerable amount of Modafinil, a drug nor-

mally used for narcolepsy(嗜眠发作症).Guess what? While I was

feeling sleepy, bored by revision, my mates were more focused.

Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours.It also sharpens the mind, improves memory and helps problem-solving.

But it does more than just keeping you awake.It disturbs your mental system, making you desperate to do what you are doing.You just don't want to do anything else but revise all the time non-stop.

A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs, like Modafinil, to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off, because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs. This might sound like what a stressed student desires. However, the pills have a range of side-effects.

"At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people," as a medical expert puts it, "Ordering online, though easy, is a dangerous way to obtain drugs. You never know what you're actually purchasing. "

In my experience, Modafinil changes people's behaviour too. Over those weeks my friends  became different people-in turn aggressive, cold. Even eating became "a waste of time" and sodid conversation.

A BBC survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before, 92% would do so again. My friends say they'd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating.

I admit I was curious-but not enough to try it. Seeing the strange behaviour of other users, I feel a little bit upset and scary. Modafinil may promise to change your grades, but it might also change the way you act. Don't say you haven't been warned!

71. According to the author, his mates took Modafinil for the purpose of______.

    A. escaping from reality          B. getting better exam results

    C. curing their narcolepsy          D. leading an active life

72. Taking the smart drug can lead to ______.

    A. cheating in the exam          B. dropping out of school

    C. youth crime              D. drug addiction

73. How does the author find his males' taking the smart drugs?

    A. Worrying.                 B. Inspiring.

    C. Acceptable.              D. Reasonable.

74. Which statement about Modafinil is wrong?

   A. Modafinil sharpens the mind and helps problem-solving.

   B. Modafinil more than just keeps you awake.

   C. Modafinil has a range of side effects.

   D. Modafinil is safe in healthy people.

75. Who are the target readers of this passage?

A. Teachers.               B. Doctors.

C. Scientists. D. Students.
