| Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on．Please give me your opinions on this topic． | ||
| Rao 12-18-08 | So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them. | |
| Sai 12-19-08 | Man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. If we look at the animal kingdom We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齿的） structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）. The vegetarian foods are easily digestible. | |
| Santos 12-20-08 | Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best. | |
| Krishna 01-03-09 | When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic（逻辑）is better and suited for hauman beings. | |
| Khan 01-05-09 | Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系统）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains! | |
| Khan 01-05-09 | Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系统）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains! | |
| A．It damages our immune system. | B．It has few nutrients. |
| C．It contains too much omega | D．It is lacking in protein. |
| A．have the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals |
| B．believe that veg foods are good for their teeth |
| C．belong to the plant-eating animal family |
| D．can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals |
| A．To have a saily veg+ meat diet. |
| B． Not to eat non-veg food every day. |
| C．To eat digestible food every day. |
| D．Not to eat food without protein. |
Rachel looked through troubled eyes at her sister and said, "I wouldn"t have thought Eric would be a thief." Her sister Sarah replied, "Whoa, that"s a accusation to make against your best friend!"
Rachel remembered two days ago when she had brought out her coin collection for Eric to . At the end of that day, Rachel"s mother asked her to do her a favor, so she asked her friend," Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?" Eric said, "Go ahead.

Sarah said, "Why don"t you just ask him?"
"Ask him what? Hey, best friend, did you my coin collection?" Rachel thought for a moment, if that would be a good idea. The theft of her collection left her with a feeling of "How could I have misjudged my friend"s ?"

New York City has had several London-type smogs since 1950. Each time, 100 to 400 deaths were caused by the smog. Although these smogs were not as deadly as London"s, New York City has the worst air pollution problem in the United States.
In all the killer smogs, factories and homes poured smoke and fumes into the air from the furnaces. The chemical fumes combined with the water droplets in the fog to form harmful substances. These substances caused the illness of those who breathed the polluted air.
Usually, such harmful fumes rise into the upper air and are blown away by the wind. But sometimes there is an unusual weather condition called a temperature inversion. A layer of cold air remains near the ground as smoke and fumes pour into it. This is covered by an upper layer of warm air that acts like a lid. It prevents the polluted cooler air from rising. The harmful fumes pile up and make people ill. The smog may be so thick that airports are closed and chains of collisions occur on the highways.
Another type of smog occurs in Los Angeles. Here the weather may be clear and sunny. But stinging eyes and dry coughs show that harmful chemicals fill the air. The smog is due to invisible gases, mostly from automobile exhaust. Because these chemicals are changed by the sun high up in the air, it is called photochemical smog. It contains automobile exhaust fumes and nitrogen oxides changed by the sun"s rays. Added to these are sulfur dioxide and other fumes from factories and oil refineries. Photochemical smog is found in many large cities all over the world.
Killer smogs don"t happen very often, fortunately. But in Beijing, a combination of automobile exhaust fumes, home furnace smoke, and factory waste gases pours into the air. This may also happen in the suburbs, or out in the country, where large factories have been built. A number of harmful substances have been found in the air there. When these substances are breathed in day after day, the health of the population is affected.
小题1:Why do people call this phenomenon "black fog"?
| A．It is black and dirty. |
| B．It can affect the health. |
| C．It can kill people. |
| D．It is too thick for people to see something. |
| A．Water. | B．Wind. | C．The sun. | D．Cold air. |
| A．many people will be killed |
| B．black smoke may pour into the air |
| C．the weather may be fine |
| D．people have to walk to work |
| A．London | B．New York | C．Los Angeles | D．Beijing |
“She wasn’t being asked to hit them because they didn’t behave well,” he said. “She was told to punch these puppies with a closed fist simply to let them know who is the boss,” Donna refused. Good for Donna. In my view, you hit an animal for only two reasons: as a way to teach it an important lesson to protect it from danger, such as not into the road; or because you like hurting animals.
Last summer, I attended a horse race. I don’t know much about horses, but I was alarmed when I saw a horse with a huge ulcer (溃疡) on its legs. “Surely this horse won’t race?” I asked. I was very surprised that nobody in the crowd seemed concerned.
The horse began the race, but later it fell heavily. It had broken its leg. The next thing I saw was its dead body in a bag, being driven past. No one seemed to care, except those who had bet on it. I know people care for horse racing, but do they really care for horses? I doubt it.
Oh, but it’s a tradition, I hear you say. Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we didn’t occasionally hit, shoot and chase animals? Traditions are made by man and can be unmade. It was once acceptable to kill servants when their master died, to visit the mental hospitals to laugh at the patients or to watch public execution (执行死刑).
Nor should it be forgotten that in our progress to a more civilized world, animals have played an important role: they have fed us, carried us, worked for us, rescued us, died for us and sometimes just saved us from loneliness. Surely by now they deserve our kindness. At the very least, they deserve our respect.
小题1:Donna was asked to hit the young dogs because ________.
| A．they misbehaved |
| B．their owner disliked them |
| C．people on the farm enjoy hurting them |
| D．it was a way to train them to obey people |
| A．strike | B．stroke | C．scold | D．pump |
| A．To explain the traditional horse race to readers. |
| B．To prove that the weak horse can’t win in the race. |
| C．To show that animals are treated unfairly by humans. |
| D．To say that people care more for horses than horse racing. |
| A．People no longer watch killing criminals in public. |
| B．The author cannot accept anyone who hits the animals. |
| C．It was a traditional practice to kill servants for their dead master. |
| D．The author thinks it is possible to change the traditions made by man. |
| A．No One Cares for Animals Nowadays. |
| B．Let’s Protect the Endangered Animals. |
| C．Show Animals the Respect They Deserve. |
| D．The Stories Between Animals and People. |
They are social animals, living in groups of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy（统团） exists within the group, but the animals are friendly to one another. The young and the infirm（体弱的） are given special privileges within the group.
African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey. They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometers. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson"s gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.
Growing human populations have decreased or degraded the African wild dog"s habitat and also diminished their available prey. Road kill and human persecution（迫害） have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic .dogs. Conservation of the African wild dog"s natural habitat must have the highest priority, as these dogs suffer in habitats modified by human intrusion（干扰）．
小题1:What does the underlined word "susceptible" mean?
| A．easily affected or suffered | B．badly doubtful |
| C．seriously harmful | D．highly dangerous |
a. the distribution of the dogs b. social living
c. highly increasing human populations d. human"s killing the dogs
e. many diseases f. the changes of their habitats
g. domestic dogs h. food reduction
| A．a. b, c, d, e | B．b, c, d, e, f | C．c, d, e, f, h | D．d, e, f, g, h |
| A．African wild dogs are completely different from domestic dogs in size, weight |
| B．African wild dogs are living in groups |
| C．African wild dogs use their eyes mostly when sleeping to guard |
| D．African wild dogs use their noses to find their food in most cases |
| A．In a pack there may be about 90 wild dogs and no leader. |
| B．There are no such wild dogs that are different. |
| C．African wild dogs can run at a speed of about 15 m/s for a long distance. |
| D．All African wild dogs kill zebras, impalas, and antelopes as their food. |
| A．African wild dogs are not in danger, because there are such a wide variety of patterns. |
| B．African wild dogs are not in danger, because are widely distributed across the African plains. |
| C．African wild dogs are in danger, because human"s activities have a great effect on them. |
