问题 Why is the weight loss plan called the Scarsdale diet?
The latest diet fad is not really new. It is called the Scarsdale diet and was originally outlined 20 years ago by Dr. Herman Tarnower, a cardiologist and internist from Scarsdale, New York. The diet became popular when people from Scarsdale who had used the diet successfully sent mimeographed copies to their friends in other parts of the country. Since his book the Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet was published last year, he has sold 270,000 copies, and the diet has become a national pastime. In his book, Dr. Tarnower claims that a dieter who follows his plan will be able to lose up to 20 pounds in 2 weeks. The diet is very simple, but it requires a great deal of discipline. For two weeks at a time the dieter must follow a strict menu that does not provide for any substitutions by the dieter. There is no alcohol, no oil arid no sugar allowed, and raw celery or carrots are the only snacks allowed. Although the amount of food that the dieter may eat is not limited, most dieters average less than one thousand calories a day. Many complain that their energy levels are low, but most are very satisfied with the results.

选项 A、Because Dr. Scarsdale designed the diet.
B、Because the doctor who designed the diet was from Scarsdale, New York.
C、Because the book that outlined the diet was published by Scarsdale.
D、Because the diet leaves scars.

答案B

解析 根据文中这句:It is called the Scarsdale diet and was originally outlined 20 years age by Dr.Herman Tarnower……from Scarsdale.New York.节食以Scarsdale命名,因为其创始人来自Scarsdale。A:创始人是Dr.Herman Tarnower而不是Dr.Scarsdale。C:这属于干扰选项,如果再深一步追问这本书为什么从Scarsdale印刷,就可追溯到其作者来自Scarsdale这一更深层原因。D:文中根本没有提到。
