     Among the most popular forms of dieting is the South Beach diet, developed by Arthur Agatston
of Miami, Florida. Dr. Agatston developed the South Beach diet for his patients with heart problems
to lose weight. Since weight matters a lot in keeping heart healthy and traditional low-fat diets were too
difficult for them to stick to, Dr. Agatston decided to create a plan that could help his patients. At first,
the diet was just for his patients. Soon, thanks to his patients' success, the diet became the buzz in
Miami, and eventually, word spread across the nation.
     This diet focuses on a healthy balance between carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and fats. It is based
on eating a combination of "good" carbohydrates and fats, while limiting those "bad" ones. It is divided
into three different phases.
     The first phase lasts for two weeks and is the strictest of the three. During this phase, you are asked
to restrict (限制) all carbohydrates (good and bad). You are allowed to eat all types of fish, cheeses,
eggs, and nuts, and a large number of vegetables. Most dieters can expect to lose between 8 and 12
pounds during this phase.
     During Phase 2, you are allowed to reintroduce some of those carbohydrates that are not allowed
before. You are encouraged to start eating carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index (升糖指数).
But you should keep in mind that the key is moderation (适度). Most people continue to lose 1-2
pounds per week. You continue with this phase until you reach your target weight.
     Phase 3 is designed to help you keep your weight. During Phase 3, you can reintroduce some of
the carbohydrates that have a higher glycemic index, although again, this should be in moderation. Phase
3 is meant to be a way of life.

1. The text is mainly about       .
A. a plan to keep heart healthy        
B. a popular form of dieting
C. how to keep healthy through 3 phases    
D. how to lose weight more quickly

2. What does the underlined part "the buzz" in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Widely spread news.                
B. A daily hobby.    
C. A useful activity.    
D. A loud noise.  
  
3. During Phase 1, you are advised to       .
A. have some carbohydrates
B. eat a smaller amount of food
C. eat a variety of food except carbohydrates
D. have carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index

     Founded two years ago, All Green Electronics Recycling is a full-service electronics recycler and
collector. It offers pick-up services as well as hundreds of convenient drop-off locations, nationwide.
Currently, it collects more than two million pounds of electronics per month. All Green Electronics
Recycling announces its new national headquarters' grand opening on January 13, 2011 from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. ---- a Green Carpet Event ---- followed by a free, three-day electronics recycling event
aimed at giving back to the local community in Orange County. Both are open to the public and are
located at: 15561 Del Amo Ave. in Tustin. 
     "We are particularly excited about the promising new job opportunities available for California
residents," says Arman Sadeghi, CEO, All Green Electronics Recycling. 
     All Green is growing at jaw-dropping rates. While many companies continue to cut back and lay
off valuable employees, All Green has hired a new person every 4.1 days since its incorporation and
is predicted to hire another 100 employees in the next six months.
     In addition to new jobs, many local non-profits and schools will also benefit. All Green is creating
community partnerships and setting up collection events while donating a percentage of the proceeds
from the recycled electronics.
     Rather than allowing old televisions or computers to end up at the dump, All Green provides
the public with a way of recycling their old working or non-working electronics safely and responsibly
for free. In fact, those with at least 10 computers, monitors and televisions can go to:
http://www.allgreenrecycling.com to schedule a free pick up in many areas.
     Unlike many of its competitors, the company sorts and separates all e-waste within their warehouse
and does not ship anything overseas for processing. It also ensures that any electronics placed in its
care will never find its way into a landfill.
     All Green already has a recycling facility in Sacramento and is set to expand its New York
operations within 60 days.
     For more information: to check out the Electronics Recycling Carbon Footprint Calculator; or to
