Here's a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl's situation. A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. She has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. When they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this material creature is on a diet. She mustn't eat this and she mustn't drink that. Oh, but of course, she doesn't want to spoil his enjoyment. Let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: it' s the surest way to an early grave. They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.
What miserable dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping onto weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. Some wage all-out war on FAT. Mere dieting is not enough. They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna baths, being pummeled and massaged by weird machines. The really wealthy diet-mongers pay vast sums for "health cures" . For two weeks they can enter a "nature clinic" and be starved to death for a hundred guineas a week. Don't think it is only the middle-aged who go in for these fads. Many of these bright young things you see are suffering from chronic malnutrition: they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God.
Dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will so why are they so miserable？ Well, for one thing, they're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. "Wonder food is a complete food," the advertisement says, "just dissolve a tea-spoonful in water. . . " A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. And, of course, they're always miserable because they feel so guilty. Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. And who can blame them？ At least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. What utter torture it is always watching other tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water bisect and sip unsweetened lemon juice!
The sentence ". . . he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come" indicates the boy_______.
The text is primarily concerned with discussing
The sentence "The genetic genie is out of the bottle. " in Para. 2 probably means
There are many basic reasons for these differences. One is that Continental savers tend to prefer gold, cash or short-term assets. They invest only 10% of their savings in institutions like pension funds or insurance companies. But in Britain 50% of saving goes to them, and they, in turn, invest directly in equity market. A far lower proportion of savings is put in the banks in the form. of liquid assets than on the Continent. Continental governments intervene directly or through the banks to collect savings together and transform. them into medium or long-term loans for investment. The equity market is largely bypassed. On the Continent economic planning tends to be far more centralized than in Britain. In Britain it is possible to influence decisions affecting the country's economy from within the City. It attracts skilled and highly qualified work force. In France, on the other hand, an intelligent young man who wants a career in finance would probably find the civil service more attractive.
In Britain the market, or more accurately, money tends to be regarded as an end in itself. On the Continent it is regarded as a means to an end; investment in the economy. To British eyes continental systems with the possible exception of the Dutch seem slow and inef-ficient. But there is one outstanding fact the City should not overlook, British's growth rates and levels of investment over the last ten years have been much lower than on the Continent. There are many reasons for this, but the City must take part of the blame. If it is accepted that the basic function of a financial market is to supply industry and commerce with finance in order to achieve desired rates of growth, it can be said that by concentrating oil the market for its own sake the City has tended to forget that basic function.
