an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also
use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or
because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look,
smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food.
A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one
sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating
only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals
eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on
the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden.
However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and
fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different
depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because
it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much
sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat
and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food,
therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
B.are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways
D. eat entirely different food
B. The small bird.
C. The bear.
D. The fox.
B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places
D. they are attracted by different smells
B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food
D. some people care little about healthy diet
to take risks, especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we
become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn"t
have the fear(恐惧)to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please
step out and don"t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward
and move on!
In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides(提供)
us with the desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great benefit(好处)that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become
stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered
new territories(领土). This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a
roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the average person seems to enjoy
although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and
biological (生物学上的) connection (联系)creates an interesting connection between
what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as
perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can complete (finish) many things.
Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve are
great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without
doing that, they could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward
in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a
risk. It is all part of the game. It"s one of the most important parts of life.
B. they feel pleased with the present life.
C. they have experienced some failures before
D. they show little interest in the strange world outside
B. Fighting off enemies
C. Discovering new territories
D. Becoming stronger and stronger
B. The safest place has the greatest risk
C. People should take risks when they are young
D. We can always achieve our goals by taking risks
B. On risks taken by ancestors
C. Live our life to the fullest(充分地)
D. No risk, no gain.
sleep,you may find yourself with red swollen eyes. Although you can cover your eye bags with
a cool pair of sunglasses,you still have to deal with your eye problem when you have to remove
them. What"s more,bags under the eyes are usually accompanied by other problems such as dark
circles or extreme redness.
Swollen eyes usually last for hours or a couple of days. If you are not going anywhere,it is
actually good for you to just let nature determine when your swollen eyes are coming back to
normal. However,if you have an important meeting,a date,or you are going to attend a special
occasion,having eye bag can really be annoying. Here are some tricks on how you can recover
your eyes from being swollen.
Some people have more chance to have eye bags,while others don"t. If you are one of the
individuals who often have swollen eyes,then you should stay away from things that are causing
your eyes to swell.
If you have an important date,you should remember to sleep well the night before. Also,make
sure that you are not wild with alcohol,which may be responsible for the phenomenon. Getting
easy with salty foods may also be a good idea because like alcohol,too much salt can also make
you keep much water.
If you were not able to prevent your eyes from becoming swollen,then do not be depressed.
here are plenty of things you can do,such as performing eye massage to help reduce the possibility.
Using your ring finger,simply massage your eye area in circular motion,starting from your nasal
sinuses(鼻窦)then to the cheeks. Make sure that you slightly push the skin upwards so as not to
cause wrinkles. Repeat the massage for about five times on each eye. Gently massaging the area
will help get rid of pooled water faster.
Placing a cool eye mask (choose the one without holes for more coverage)on your eyes for
10 to 15 minutes will help comfort your eyes. Moreover,your blood vessels (血管)will shrink or
tighten due to the cold temperature. This will help remove water beneath the skin under your eyes.
If you do not have a plastic eye mask,you can use pieces of cold melon or used teabags.
If you have swollen eyes,it would be best for you to drink plenty of cold water or other cold
drink. As mentioned earlier,the cool temperature encourages blood vessels to shrink,which will
help in promoting better water loss. Basically,the bags under your eyes are simply water or fluid
that was not properly removed out of your system.
If you still have eye bags even after you performed the tricks above,then you need to skip
eyeliner for the day. This makeup is used to emphasize the shape of the eyes so if you have swollen
eyes,the eyeliner will only highlight the shortcoming.
As we all know,sleep is very important and necessary.I would love everyone to form the habits
below to have better sleep.
Eat right meals and don"t have meals within 4 hours of rest.If you eat much food an hour before
you go to bed,your body will hate you.Your body needs time to digest (消化) while you are still
awake.
Exercise for at least________every day.Sometimes I become very angry when I hear on TV that
people just need 30minute exercise a week.That"s funny.Every person should be getting 30minute
exercise daily along with a healthy diet.When you do exercises,you use energy that your body has
to recover from.Your body recovers when you are sleeping.The_more_exercises_you_do,the_faster
_you_will_fall_to_sleep.
Turn the TV off.There are a few shows I watch still,but they will never get in my way of (妨碍)
sleep.The bedroom is only for sleeping and it is a place for rest.You"d better take the TV out of your
bedroom.
Throw away the alarm.You should ask yourself a question: If I didn"t have an alarm,at what time
would I get up? If that time is the time you need to get up,you should probably throw away the alarm.
If the time you actually get up at is much later than the time you do get up at,make great changes to
your way of life and the time when you go to sleep.No one should need an alarm.

the risk of getting cancer or heart disease has found that the diet has no effect.
The study involved nearly 49,000 women aged 50 to 79 who were followed for eight years. In
the end, those assigned to a lowfat diet had the same rates of breast cancer, colon cancer and heart
attacks as those who ate whatever they pleased, researchers are reporting today.
And the lowfat diet was not easy to follow. Women were told to aim for a diet that had just 20
percent of its calories as fat, which meant, for example, no butter on bread, no cheese on bagels,
no oil in salad dressings. And most fail to meet that requirement.
The result, the study investigators agreed, does not justify recommending lowfat diets to the
public to reduce their heart disease and cancer risk. Given the lack of benefit found in the study,
many medical researchers said that the best dietary advice, for now, was to follow federal guidelines
for healthy eating, with less saturated and trans fats, more grains, and more fruits and vegetables.
But not everyone was convinced. Some, like Dr. Dean Ornish, a longtime promoter of lowfat
diets, said that the women did not reduce their fat to low enough levels or eat enough fruits and
vegetables, and that the study, even at eight years, did not give the diets enough time. Others said
that the study did not mean people should abandon lowfat diets. The diet could still make a difference,
at least with heart disease, if people were to eat the socalled Mediterranean_diet,_low in saturated
fats like butter and high in oils like olive oil. But the women in the study reduced all kinds of fat.
To this, Barbara V. Howard, a principle investigator in the study argued that "What we are saying
is that a modest reduction of fat did not do anything for heart disease and so on, but it doesn"t say that
this diet is not beneficial". And she said people should realise that diet alone was not enough to stay
healthy. Except for not smoking, the advice for a healthy lifestyle is based largely on indirect evidence,
like eating well, controlling weight and getting regular exercise.
B.diet that comes from the Mediterranean region
C.diet low in saturated fats and high in olive oil
D.diet found in Mediterranean restaurants
B.no institute will issue some advice on lowfat diets
C.many people still believe lowfat diets are beneficial for people"s health
D. people will probably turn to federal guidelines for healthy eating advice
B.a healthy lifestyle often means balanced diets, enough exercise and quitting smoking
C.all fats should be removed from people"s diet to keep one healthy
D.if one gets only 20% of his calories from fat, he is sure to keep healthy
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. However, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global
warming. We all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the
wind"s power. The problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon
dioxide.
Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and Central Asia. Tons of
dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface.
Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree planting programme there is
successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away
in the ocean.
Andy, an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows
clearly the complexity of the system. For this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving
off rather than doing anything else.
Robert, an American scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees,
carbon is lost from the soil. "We are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees
do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil
from trees." said Robert.
In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be
outweighed by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground.
Countries that plan to fight against global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions
to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earth"s
climate is a very great challenge.
B. planting trees could reduce global warming
C. huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the Earth
D. planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
B. trees shouldn"t have been planted in dry places
C. dust plays a more important part than trees
D. carbon dioxide is harmful to everything
B. carbon can turn grass into dust
C. less carbon can make trees grow faster
D. grassland areas should be covered by forests
B. The dust clouds soak up carbon dioxide
C. Is it really useful to plant trees to reduce global warming?
D. Why the soil carbon disappears
