which argued that DietCoke misled people to believe the drink would help them lose weight.The case was brought by Shana Becerra who said that she had bought and drank Diet Coke because she believedit would contribute to weight loss and healthy weight management.She alleged that Diet Coke had the opposite effect,citing studies that she claimed showed sweeteners with no nutritional value like those used in Diet Coke cause weightgain and increased risk of certain diseases.Although Coca-Colas arguments against the suit were not adequate,Judge William Alsup said the prosecutor(检察官)failed to show that consumers were likely to be deceived by the advertising.Alsup dismissed the case because Becerra had not met the requirement that“members of the public are likely tobe deceived”.“In supermarkets,Diet Coke is displayed next to regular soft drinks and is not sold in the health-foodsection.Reasonable consumers would understand that Diet Coke merely deletes the calories usually present in regularCoke,and that the caloric reduction will lead to weight loss only as part of an overall sensible diet and exerciseregimen(养生法)dependent on individual metabolism(新陈代谢),”Alsup said in the decision.Alsup said the studies cited by Becerra suggest a connection between Diet Coke-type drinks and weight gain,butthey do not suggest causation.He added that one of the studies even says that weight gain is“due to the behavior ofconsumers,rather than the effects of nonnutritive sweeteners.”Alsup also rejected the idea that Diet Coke advertisingwould suggest to consumers that the soft drink led to weight loss as“reasonable consumers understand thatadvertising will feature healthy and attractive consumers enjoying the subject products and will not star the unhealthyand unfit.”The decision on Tuesday,said that the prosecutor has until March 22 to file a motion to amend the complaint.Aspokesperson for the Coca-Cola company said they were content with the fact that the court dismissed prosecutorbaseless complaint.41.What was the lawsuit against?A.One of Coca-Colas drinks made people think it would make them thinner.B.The Coca-Cola company misled people to believe the safety of its products.C.The advertisements exaggerated the health effects of Diet Coke.D.The judge discriminated the consumers in favor of the Coco-Cola company.42.What are the side effects of sweeteners?A.They stimulate peoples spirits and make them energetic.B.They increase peoples weight and the potential possibility of getting sick.C.They provide nutritious refreshment for fat consumers.D.They add a nice touch to the soft drinks and make them popular.43.Why did Judge William Alsup dismiss the charge?A.Because the prosecutor couldnt provide solid evidence to support her lawsuit.B.Because the Coca-Cola company didnt do anything wrong.C.Because he was reasonable enough to know the effects of soft drinks.D.Because the consumer made no sense in this lawsuit.44.According to Alsup,how can people lose weight with Diet Coke?A.They should reduce the calories they take in.B.They should replace the regular Coca with Diet Coke.C.They should reduce their drinking of Diet Coke.D.They should pay attention to their diet and do exercises.45.What was the Coca-Cola companys attitude towards the Judges decision?A.Angry.B.Regretful.C.Pleased.D.Shameful.CSpending over a year in the bleak(荒凉的)Antarctica might change your brain for the worse,according to newresearch out this month.It seems to show that polar explorers who lived for 14 months at an Antarctica researchstation experienced brain shrinkage,likely as a result of their loneliness and boredom.The studys authors used MRI(核磁共振)to scan the brains of eight members of a team before they began along stay at the German-run research station.During their mission,the team periodically took tests of their cognitionand memory and provided blood samples that allowed the study authors to measure their levels of a protein importantfor brain health called brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF).When they returned,they had their brains scannedagain.Finally,compared to themselves before the mission,the explorers brains appeared to have less grey matter onaverage.The shrinkage was most apparent in the hippocampus,an area of the brain key to memory and cognition.Their average levels of BDNF also dropped during the trip and didnt improve significantly even after one-and-a-halfmonths back home.The studys findings,published in The New England Journal of Medicine,arent the first to suggest that longtime of being separated can change the brain.But practically all of this work has involved animals,according to theresearchers.Of course,an eight-person study is small,so any of its conclusions should be taken with caution.Lead authorAlexander C.Stahn,now a researcher at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania,said thatthe effects on the hippocampus are likely temporary,provided the scientists returned back to a life filled with socialinteraction and interesting things to see.Still,since people will continue traveling to and from Antarctica for long periods of time,the findings aredefinitely worth keeping in mind and exploring further.They might even prove relevant for the rare few people whomight travel as far as Mars in the futureperhaps the only similarly scientific,months-long mission that would beeven more lonely.46.What will do damage to the brain according to the first paragraph?A.Doing research in brain shrinkage.B.Traveling to the Antarctica.C.Working as a researcher in a station.D.Being in a lonely place for a long time.47.How did the scientists get the conclusion?A.By comparing the scanned results.B.By studying the previous figures.C.By making a long-term program.D.By scanning the participants brains.48.What can we infer about the explorers when they returned?A.They were no longer used to the civilized world.B.They had some difficulty in remembering things.C.They became normal after one-and-a-half months.D.They published their findings in a medical magazine.49.What can we learn about the study?A.The scientists are provided with various social activities.B.Long time of being separated can change the brain of all animals.C.Other researches have the same findings as the study.D.Its conclusion may be relevant for those who are fond of travelling.50.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The importance of the finding.B.The disadvantage of the finding.C.The future development of the space.D.The possibility of travelling to Mars.DOne of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might someday get lost in a“sea of technology”rather thanexperiencing the natural world.Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect betweenkids and
