Directions:

Abbey
You can always recognize dieters 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 on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!
Marlin
I began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.
Maggie
During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. "
Belinda
If you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.
Wood
I went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.
Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.

Cell Phone
The brave new world of cell phones has finally arrived in China. The light weight, pocket-sized cell phones make our life more convenient, efficient and colorful. So nowadays there are more and more people liking to use them.
Firstly, cell phones can facilitate communications. It is very convenient for us to get in touch people with cell phones. Wherever we are, if we want to talk to people, the only thing we need to do is to pick up a cell phone.
Secondly, cell phones can make the businessmen's work more efficient. Some smart cell phones have the capacity of the computers; they can store and run simple programs. With the id of GPRS, people also can send or receive e-mail via cell phones.
Lastly, we can entertain ourselves with cell phone. When you are bored, you can play the built-in java games, listen to radio or record a short video with your cell phone.
I think cell phone plays an important part in our daily life. I wish with the help of cell phones our future life would be more convenient and beautiful.
