| There has been a new trend in food recently-people are becoming not interested in fast food and beginning taking an interest in eating "slow food". For many years, the pace of life has been increasing for most people. Buying, preparing and cleaning up after a meal was becoming a big trouble for those busy people. Luckily , there were smart business people who took the opportunity to provide "instant" solutions to the problem. They opened fast food restaurants. Almost overnight, you could go to the fast food restaurant, order your food and within 2 minutes it will be handed over to your hands. The problem is health. Fast food has much oil, salt and more calories and far fewer vitamins than food freshly cooked at home. And so , since people have always wanted to live longer and healthier, a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food, but also organic food (有机食品) —food that hasn"t been grown with chemical fertilizers (化学肥料). Another reason for changes in eating habits is the society. Over the centuries,meal times have been used to visit, laugh and learn. That doesn"t fit with today"s busy life and many people are looking for ways to restore (恢复) that. Goodbye McDonald"s. Finally, there"s something special about planning your meal, buying just the right ingredient (配料) and seeing something on your table that looks just like the picture inyour recipe book (食谱书). So if you"re too busy, maybe it"s time for you to slow down and enjoy ameal with a friend. | |||

| Our world has been for many year and throughout all those years we have used the sun for energy needs. So why not use the energy to our homes or our cars?Many scientists have changed forms of energy called "Green Energy". Green power is the solution to creating a cleaner,sustainable energy system. Renewable (可重复的)energy—from the sun,wind ,plants and moving water—is a natural way to meet our energy needs and protect the environment. Solar (太阳的) energy is a very useful resource today. 80% of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels (化石燃料) and about 1 % comes from solar energy. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable,that means that they are used up faster than they could be replaced. Also fossil fuels are limited and cause pollution. They are the primary cause for air pollution that causes acid rain (酸雨) and global warming. The good thing about solar energy is that it is renewable because it is always replaced. Also solar energy does not pollute the environment. The energy problem is an important problem in the United States. Solar energy can help solve this problem. But the cost is far too great. | |||
