telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some
of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now
report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one
carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you, too. It can kill the
type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom" s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of
children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no
danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes. However, sticky sweets made with grains tend
to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don"t hold water, there is still a lot of
truth in the old wives" tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated from thousands of years
of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear
scientific support to prove it true or false.
B. Sticky sweets are damaging our teeth.
C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous.
D. Carrots prevent people from catching colds.
B. to be valuable
C. to be admirable
D. to be suitable
B. Objective
C. Dissatisfied
D. Curious

举一反三
They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.
1_____
The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these
changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 2_____ So they are called "disease of
civilization". Many cancers and disease of blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or
tobacco, probably none. 3_____ However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in
ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They
ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made
very little use of grains. 4_____ We eat six times more salt than our ancestors (祖先). We eat more sugar. We
eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
5_____ But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors
did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.
B. People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did.
C. Ancient people also lived in large groups.
D. But today, we eat a lot of these.
E. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise.
F. In that case, they would live much healthier.
G. People today probably live the same life as people thousands of years ago did.
which may be even more deadly than SARS. The WHO believes that it is likely that bird flu will spread to
human beings in the next few years. If it does, up to seven millions people could die from the disease.
Diseases like bird flu are caused by viruses, that is, tiny things which change and become more dangerous
over time. When a new type of a common virus changes, it may be able to get past the body"s immune (免疫
的) system. If that happens, humans are in great danger until a cure or treatment becomes available.
There have always been viruses and people always get sick, of course, but as we saw with SARS, the
situation is more difficult today. People travel more than ever before, which means that disease can spread
quickly and across large areas-in fact the whole world.
Scientists are already working on drugs that will prevent or limit the effect of a new virus, but the process
takes time. It is just as important to make sure that countries, especially poor countries, are prepared to deal
with the disease. New disease usually affect poor areas the most, so we must help develop health care in all
countries.
B. people don"t eat healthy food
C. there aren"t enough hospitals
D. scientists can"t find a cure
B. a virus changes and become less dangerous over time
C.SARS is 1ikely to come again in some years
D. poor areas usually suffers more from new diseases than rich areas
B. Scientists Are Working Hard on Drugs for Diseases
C. What Is a Virus
D. Virus Changes and Causes New Diseases Over Time
go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree
as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental
effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make
efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from
environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their
custom elsewhere if they felt a company"s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes:"I understand this situation where
survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking-we don"t have much
time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the
brand."
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year
will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken
early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are
environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public
will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are
doing. "When companies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (标识) in all their marketing
which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions," Mr. Morrison said.
B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers" environmental awareness.
B. change
C. disturb
D. reject
B. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C. are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
B. use the same logo in their marketing
C. gain advantages by taking early action
D. attract more shoppers by storing goods
recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means
we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the
greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first
place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a
typical household"s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with
plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it
for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to
cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce
such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage
customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot
continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with
quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food.
But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary
material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to
climb.
B. Recycling too many wastes.
C. Making more products than necessary.
D. Having more material than is needed.
B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the rapid growth of super markets
D. the fact of packaging overuse
B. means burning packaging for energy
C. is the solution to gas shortage
D. leads to a waste of land
B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D. Other products are better packaged than food.
B. Needless material is mostly recycled.
C. People like collecting recyclable waste.
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.
began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children.
Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways.
[2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships.
Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys
healthier nutrition. For many families, eating dinner together proves to be good and effective way to reduce the
risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to raise healthier children. It is also a great time to share the events
of the day, discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each other"s company.
[3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior to their children. Sitting
at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children"s school
performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can better
direct their kids toward positive things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children
will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs.
[4]However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as
automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. _____ if there is too
much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversation or, what is even worse, if there is just plain
silence during gathering.
