Western diet, which accounts for about 30 percent of heart attack
risk (风险) across the world. Meanwhile, a diet rich in fruits and
vegetables, the so-called "Prudent" diet, can lower the risk of
heart attack, according to a study.
The research, which looked at dietary habits in 52 countries,
found people who ate a Western diet had a 35 percent greater risk
of having a heart attack compared to those who ate little or no fried
foods and meat. Those who followed a "Prudent" diet had a 30
percent lower risk of heart attack compared to those who eat little
fruits and vegetables.
The authors also looked at an "Oriental" diet, rich in tofu,
soy and other sauces (酱类), and found it did not increase or
decrease the risk of a heart attack.
Previous studies have reached similar conclusions about the
"Prudent" and Western diet in the United States and Europe, but
did not include the Oriental pattern of eating. While some food of
the Oriental diet may protect against heart trouble, the higher
sodium (钠) content of sauces counter (抵消) that benefit.
"This study indicates that the same relationships that are
observed in Western countries exist in different regions of the
world," a professor of medicine at McMaster University said.
Canadian researchers analyzed risk factors in food choices
and the risk of heart attack in about 16,000 people in 52
countries. Almost 6,000 people had heart attacks, while the rest
had no heart disease.

Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable
diet... We are surrounded by the word" diet" everywhere we look
and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and
potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what
diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that
harm us psychologically and physically (身体上).
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one
level, we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight
problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling
the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet
products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight
for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or
recognize the word" diet" in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological
effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling
ourselves without our awareness that we don"t have to work to get
results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without
pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological
effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they
cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because
consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing
our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods
and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry
has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet
products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet
products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have
on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing
weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals.
Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet
products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical
harm that comes from using them.
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet
B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain
D. diet products are free from calories
B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals
D. provide too much energy

don"t eat meat. In China, to eat meat is a sign of wealth. If a
westerner doesn"t take a bite of their Peking duck, there is
something wrong. But many people in Europe and America choose
not to eat meat or fish - they are known as vegetarians. In the US
alone there are 12 million vegetarians and 19,000 more people
stop eating meat every week.
People often become vegetarians in order to lose weight or eat
more healthily.A lot of research has shown that vegetarian diets
are healthier than the average western diet. Fried chicken may be
delicious to eat, but all that extra fat can damage your heart.
There are many other reasons for "turning veggie". It could
be that you cannot afford to buy meat. Or maybe you just don"t
like the taste of it．
A large number of vegetarians choose to give up meat because
they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food. They believe many
animals are not allowed to live in comfort and, when they are
killed, it is carried out in a very painful way.
While some vegetarians are happy not to eat animals, others
take it one step further and refuse to eat any animal product. They
are known as vegetarians and will not eat cheese, yogurt (酸奶)
and eggs, or drink milk. Neither will they wear clothes or shoes
made from animal skin, such as leather. They say that if it is
wrong to kill an animal for food, it is worse to kill it for clothing.
But there are some groups that go even further. Fruitarians
believe it is wrong to kill any living plant or animal. Besides____
____, they will only eat fruit and vegetables that have not
been killed when harvested. This means they cannot take an apple
from a tree: they must wait until the apple falls to the ground.
Only then can it be considered dead.

cigarettes, they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at
them from the packet.
Some boys may think of smoking ascool and sexy. Their friends won"t agree
when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table.
The European Union announced onOctober 22, that it had chosen 42
photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to
put these pictures on packets to discourage young smokers.
To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like
cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.
"The true fact of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to
the young," said David Byrne, an EU health official. "Hopefully these pictures will shock students
out of their love for cigarettes. "
The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs
of cigarettes. The warning included "smoking kills" and "smoking can lead to a slow and painful death. "
So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and
warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers.
According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more
than 650, 000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.

D. Dangers of Smoking

B. Belgium.
C. Canada.
D. EU.
B. deaths caused by smoking could have been avoided
C. smoking is the biggest cause of deaths in EU
D. EU has the largest number of deaths caused by smoking
been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups
believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be
protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野).
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska, the wolves almost disappeared a few years ago,
because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport.
However, laws were established to protect the wolves from
sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So
the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so
many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in
the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals
have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by
changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer can"t find
enough food, they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their
prey(猎物)will disappear some day. And the wolves will,too.
So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance
the ecology. If we killed more wolves, we would save them and
their prey from dying out. We"d also save some farm animals.
In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens
for food. Farmers want the government to send biologists to
study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in
some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small
wolf population.
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago, you would have heard many
different stories about the dangerous wolf. According to most
stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today,
the stories of the "big bad wolf" will not disappear.
But the fact is wolves are afraid of people. and they seldom
travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat
other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and
injured. The strongest survive. No kind of animal would have
survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived.
And has always been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,
we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their
prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population
from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the
wilderness plant life.
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live
are being used by people. Even if wilderness land is not used
directly for human needs. The wolves can"t always find enough
food. So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a
farm.Then there is danger. The "big bad wolf" has arrived!
And everyone knows what happens next.
following reasons EXCEPT that____.
B. they kill large numbers deer
C. they attack cows and chickens for food
D. they destroy the wilderness plant life
B. there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C. there are too many deer in the wilderness
D. wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
B. they always go against the law of nature
C. they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D. they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness
B. wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill them
C. wolves will find enough food sources on farms
D. people will leave the areas where wolves can live
ways we canprotect ourselves when we travel.
You are safer in a large car. People in small cars are
injured more often and more severely than people traveling in
large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their
products" safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and
small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.
Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being
thrown from the car, can really damage to you. That"s why
safety belts should be worn. The safety belt"s main purpose is
if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or
object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of fatal
injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.
Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold
have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal ( 正面的)
crashes-the type of crash that kills the most drivers-
when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are
demanding air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection
provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes; effective
as they are, they can"t take the place of safety belts.
Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don"t
drink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people
have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury,
prison time and other results. There are movements to
strengthen penalties ( 处罚) for drinking and driving.
