      There is a proverb that went “Honesty is the best policy” ．I still remember the day that I was left alone at home．I broke a vase by chances, which was quite treasured by my father．When he came back, I was too fearful that I didn’t tell the truth．The cat was his excuse．My father said nothing, and I could read his distrust．The next morning, after a restless night, I admitted to my father that it was my fault．I saw relief in his eyes．He smiled at me．From now on, I never told lies．My honesty won me great trust form others, which benefited from my growth a lot．It is the “crack” that is reminding me all the time that I have long way to go．With the light through the crack I can road ahead clear．

DNP is a dangerous chemical that’s been linked to 63 deaths, yet it is available online as a slimming pill.

    It’s used in the production of pesticides(杀虫剂), chemical dyes and wood preservatives. But on many websites in Australia, it’s sold as a fat-burner and as an easy way to lose weight without dieting. The chemical is being used in diet pills that promise to speed up the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢) and remove fat. But the rapid weight loss can come at a high cost.

Most recently, DNP slimming pills were linked to death of 23-year-old British medical student Sarah Houston, who died after taking pills containing DNP that she had ordered on the internet. The night before she died, Houston told her roommates that she felt hot, her eyes yellowed and her breathing became difficult. The following day she was found dead in her room.

    Her parents, Geoff and Gina Houston, say they hope their daughter’s death will be a warning to anyone who wants to buy DNP, or to see it as a quick way for weight loss. “ At the suggestion of one of the police officers, I went on Google and looked up DNP,” Gina says. “What I came up with was a list of horrible symptoms and side effects, and it’s the side effects that killed Sarah.”

A study on DNP published last year linked the chemical to 62 deaths around the world. The Food Standards Agency in the UK has given a warning about the risks of DNP, describing the drug as“extremely dangerous to human health”.

DNP works by increasing the body’s rate to burn energy and fat but this can lead to symptoms including sickness, vomiting, dizziness, rapid or heavy breathing, headaches and an irregular heartbeat. In the worst cases, DNP can lead to death.

People may believe that because they can order weight-loss products on the internet and have them sent to Britain, then those products must be safe and approved. This is clearly not true in the case of DNP.

68. According to the passage, the chemical DNP is________.

   A. a good way to lose weight without dieting

   B. really very harmful to our bodies

   C. only allowed to sell on the internet

   D. a fat-burner without side effects

69. From the passage we can infer________.

   A. DNP works well in losing weight but it has terrible side effects

   B. Sarah’s parents think Sarah’s death has nothing to do with DNP

   C. the police officers has arrested many people selling DNP

   D. it’s illegal to buy weight-loss products on the internet 

70. What is the best title of the passage?

   A. DNP Has Led to Many Deaths.

   B. DNP Is a Dangerous Chemical.

   C. DNP Shouldn’t Be Bought on the Internet.

   D. DNP Has Terrible Side Effect.
