With big handbags becoming a key fashion accessory（配件）for working women, health experts are warning they can also become a key health concern.

Bags for women have become bigger and heavier as designers combine briefcases with handbags and straps have become longer, resulting in many users complaining of neck, shoulder and back problems.

“I see so many women with neck pains and headaches and what I usually do is look for their purse and pick it up,” said Jane Sadler, a family practice physician at Baylor Medical Center in Garland, Texas. “We take it over to the scale and weigh it and usually they’re anywhere from 7 to 10 pounds...We’re really going to see women with more and more problems later on if we continue the big purse craze.”

William Case, a physical therapist（臨床醫(yī)生）in private practice in Houston, Texas, urged designers “to place a cute, educational caution tag（標(biāo)簽）on all bags to inform of potential neck and shoulder dangers.” Above all, he recommended correct posture while carrying big purses, keeping the head and shoulders upright. Patients should also frequently change the size and weight of purses carried.

“The extra-large purses are quite phenomenal. They look beautiful when the women wear them, but I don’t know how aware they are of the potential problems,” Case said.

Placing objects on one shoulder was one of the least efficient（有效率的）ways of carrying a load, according to a professor from Cornell University in New York State. “This causes a great imbalance,” he said. “If a big bag is a fashion accessory, then occasional and symbolic use is fine. If not, then keep it light.”

The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

    Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, on-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and Physically（身體上）.

Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and so straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients（營養(yǎng)成分），Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

A.        diet products fail to bring out people’s potential

A.        try out a variety of diet foods

B.        hesitate before they enjoy diet foods

C.        pay attention to their own eating habits

3. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means           .

A.        losing weight is effortless

B.        it costs a lot to lose weight

C.        diet products bring no pain

D.       diet products are free from calories

4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products           .

A.        are over-consumed

B.        lack basic nutrients
