The average person swallows about half-a-ton of food a year—not counting drink—and though the body is remarkably efficient at extracting(摄取) just what it needs from this huge mixture, it can only cope up to a point. If you go on eating too much of some things and not enough of others, you'll eventually get out of condition and your health will suffer. So think before you start eating. It may look good. It may taste good. Fine! But how much good is it really doing you？

What you eat and the way it affects your body depend very much on the kind of person you are. For one things, the genes you inherit from your parents can determine how your body metabolism(新陈代谢) copes with particular foods. The tendency to put on weight rather easily, for example, often runs in families which means that they have to take particular care.

And your parents may shape your future in another way. The way you are brought up shapes some basic attitudes to food—like whether you have a sweet tooth, nibble (吃零食) between meals, take big mouthfuls or eat chips with everything. Eating habits, good or bad, tend to get passed on.

And then there is your lifestyle. How much you spend on food (time as well as money) , how much exercise you get—these can alter the balance between food and fitness.

And finally, both your age and your sex may affect this balance. For example, you're more likely to put on weight as you get older, especially if you're a woman.

So everybody is different and the important thing is to know yourself.

Before eating something, we are advised to consider______.

A．how good it will taste

B．whether we really need it

C．why we want to eat it

D．if we have eaten too much of it

阅读理解Grandmother's culinary advice

My dear

Charlotte,

Thank you so much for the lovely basket of fruit you sent us on our wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe that your grandfather and r have been married f" 60 years. However, we did get a telegram of congratulations from the Queen, so I suppose that we really have been together for all that time.

In your note you asked the secret of a successful marriage. Weil I believe it has a lot to do with our very different attitudes to food. Your granddad likes to have a big breakfast, but I only like a cup of tea and a piece of toast in the morning. He likes to' stop about 12 noon and have glass of beer arid a plate of egg and chips. I find that too filling, and I like to get on with what am doing, so I prefer to have some fruit and some' nuts at midday.

We both like to have our major meal about seven o'clock in the 'evening, but we like very different' things. Your granddad always has some kind of fish for his dinner. He préfers Tornmy Ruffs, the best fish in South Australia, he calls that fish. He also likes kippers, those salty smoked fish that the English and the Scots• introduced in to Australia. He tefi.1SCs to eat any vegetables at all, except for potatoes. He' likes them either, boiled, baked, mashed at made into chips. He always has another glass of beer with this meal.

I have quite different tastes. I like the foods that the other European and ASian Cultures have introduced into Australia. Lasagna from Itaty, Moussaka from Greece, green curry from Thailand and of course, my favorrite, meat and vegetable dumplings from China. Whatever have, always have a salad of green vegetables and two glasses of' wine with-my meal.

Now, am sure that my diet is much more balanced than your granddads. But he says that now at 79 he is going to eat what he likes. Why is this difference conducive to a happy marriage？ Weil we have to buy our food from different shops, cook our food in different ways and borrow different cookery books from the library. So we have a lot of different experiences during the day and a lot to talk about in the evening!

All my

Directions:

The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union went on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For questions 61～65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Mr. Mike Smith:

It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at las people are beginning to listen to us. We' re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week, that's all. It's a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. Bu please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.

Mr. Tom Brown:

It' s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up ,so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we' re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that' s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.

Mr. Bob Davis:

Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all？

Mrs. Baker.

My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That' s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy？ If they don't like their jobs, nobody' s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they' d keep their mouths shut then.

Miss Slater：

Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"？ Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.

Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

Statements

[A] A 10% increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason.

[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation' s security and stability.

[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.

[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker' s demands.

[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.

[F] I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.

[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

The biggest misconception held by many organic lovers is that organic produce is not grown with fertilizers (肥料) or pesticides (杀虫剂). That’s simply wrong. Organic fertilizers and pesticides are manufactured by all the major producers. Pests attack crops whether they’re certified organic or not; and all plants take nutrients (营养物) out of the soil that have to be replaced.

Many think organic farms handle that through soil management. And so they do, but so do all farms. Every farm rotates crops as much as possible to keep the soil healthy and reduce the spread of pest; by no means is this unique to organics. It’s been a farming fundamental for centuries.

Chemicals are one of a farm’s biggest expenses, and both organic and conventional farms strive to reduce that expense. Modern agriculture depends on efficient fertilizers that deliver the needed nutr

A、organic food is no different from conventional produce

B、the quality of organic produce can be highly unstable

C、the results of the tests in the videos are not fair enough

D、To convince that conventional produce is better for health.

it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually quite pleasant and there aren't too many tourists in October.

We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient as we did most of our sight seeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive; the bus routes were too difficult for us to understand; and my wife didn't like traveling by underground. She said it made her feel shut in.

We went to look at the places, which all tourists see. We saw Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery and Piccadilly Circus. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, though, was going to the theatre. We don't have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn't think so. It's true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.

In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have booked another trip to England for this year. We're going to take our umbrellas, though. I'm sure we'll need them.

e in industrialized nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.

The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on the earth, but the way we live has changed greatly.Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style. (方式) and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times (古代).So they are called “diseases of civilization”.Many cancers and diseases of the blood system (系统),including heart attacks and stroke (中风) are examples of such diseases.

Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol (酒精) or tobacco (烟草),probably none.Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but 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 or tame ones (家畜).They also 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.But today, we eat a large amount of these.We eat six times more salt than our remote ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein (蛋白质) and much less vitamin.(维生素) C.

People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate much the same way our remote ancestors did ,cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.
