TEXT D
Less than a year ago, a new generation of diet pills seemed to offer the long-sought answer to our chronic weight problems. Hundreds of thousands of pound-conscious Americans had discovered that a drug combination known as "fen-phen" could shut off voracious appetites like magic, and the FDA had just approved a new drug, Redux, that did the same with fewer side effects. Redux would attract hundreds of thousands of new pill poppers within a few months.
But now the diet drug revolution is facing a backlash. Some of the nation's largest HMOs,including Aetna U. S. Healthcare and Prudential Healthcare, have begun cutting back or eliminatingreimbursement for both pills. Diet chains like Jenny Craig and Nutri System are backing away from them too. Several states, meanwhile, have restricted the use of fen-phen. Last week the Florida legislature banned new prescriptions entirely and called on doctors to wean current patients from the drug within 30 days; it also put a 90-day limit on Redux prescriptions. Even New Jersey doctor Sheldon Levine, who touted Redux last year on TV and in his book The Redux Revolution, has stopped giving it to all but his most obese patients.
The reason for all the retrenchment: potentially lethal side-effects. Over the summer,the FDA revealed that 82 patients had developed defects in their heart valves while on fen-phen, and that seven patients had come down with the same condition on Redux.
As if that weren't bad enough, physicians reported that a woman who had been taking fen-phen for less than a month died of primary pulmonary hypertension, a sometimes fatal Iung condition already associated with Redux. And an article in the Journal o f the American Medical Association last month confirmed earlier reports that both fen-phen and Redux can cause brain damage in lab animals.
These findings led the New England J ournal to publish an editorial admonishing doctors to prescride the drugs only for patients with severe obesity. Meanwhile, FDA asked drug makers to put more explicit warnings on fen-phen and Redux labels. Since mid-July, prescriptions for fen-phen have dropped 56%, and those for Redux 36%, according to IMS America, a pharmaceutical market research firm.
All that really does, however, is bring the numbers down to where they should have been all along. Manufacturers said from the start that their pills offered a short-term therapy for the obese,not for people looking to fit into a smaller bathing suit. FDA approved Redux with just such a caveat, and when limited to these patients, the drugs may still make sense ---- despite the risks v----because morbid obesity carries its own dangers, including heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Too often, however, Redux and fen-phen were peddled to all comers, almost like candy. The current backlash, says Levine, is a "roller coaster that never should have happened. "
The new pills seemed to be a solution to
[A] the problem of obesity that has obsessed the Americans for a long time.
[B] the problem that is of great weight and significance.
[C] the vital problem caused by the pills.
[D] the threatening situation we are facing in the long run.

Each day of Earth Week, for example, has been given over to a separate environmental issue. They are,(31 ), energy efficiency, re-cycling, water (32 ),alternative transportation, pollutant information and outdoor(33 ). Each one, as you can see, is wholly concerned with human problems, human systems,human safety and (34 )how (American) humans can go on living (35 ) the same material level over the long haul (36 ) messing things up for them-selves. (37 ) on that list is there any con-sideration of what are thought to be animals (or trees or rivers) rights; nowhere any regard for the ongoing (38 ) of species caused by humans; nowhere a (39 )for the countless other species that are being (40 ) daily by the destruction and poisoning of habitats; nowhere any thought given to the (41 ) of the natural systems of the living earth and learning to live in them as the first people did. (42 )all, nowhere on the list is there found any consideration of wilderness, of the need for a healthy earth to have places where humans don't (43 ), where the full complexity and diversity of life are allowed to (44 ) unaffectedly. All that the
Earth Day people can see is something called "just think of the (45 )“of“outdoors”,and all they can think of doing there is human "recreation".
The reason that is important is that (46 ) the human understands itself as a species "reapplies for membership in the biosphere", as the eco-historian Thomas Berry has (47 )it,"it will never stop treating the earth and its treasures (resources )astherightfulfoodforits omnivorous maw(杂食性动物的胃 ) ,will never stop acting as if it owns the earth and has the right of control (48 )its species".This is a matter of passing laws or double-panning windows; this is a deep reordering of values, a new (and very old) way of understanding the earth and its species as sacred, an ecological (49 )that go right to the heart of our lives.
