obvious health benefits that result from the elimination (排除) of red meat from your diet. In
general, vegetarians have lower levels of blood fats, cholesterol (胆固醇) and triglyceride
(甘油三酸脂) than meat eaters of a similar age and social status.
High levels of blood fats are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Lacto-ovo
vegetarians (乳类蛋类素食者), who eat eggs and dairy products, have higher cholesterol levels
than vegans (绝对素食者). Even among lacto-ovo vegetarians, however, cholesterol levels
are generally lower than they are among meat eaters.
Researchers have found that older men that eat meat six or more times a week are twice as
likely to die of heart disease as those that don"t have meat. Among middle-aged men, meat eaters
were four times more likely to suffer a fatal heart attack, according to the study.
As for women, who are partly protected by their hormones and generally develop heart disease
later in life than men, the risk of fatal heart disease has been found to be lower only among older
vegetarians. In a 1982 study of more than 10 000 vegetarians and meat eaters, British researchers
found that the more meat people consumed, the greater risk they had of suffering a heart attack.
Though eliminating meat from the diet is likely to reduce your consumption of heart-damaging
fats and cholesterol, continuing to eat large amounts of high-fat dairy products and cholesterol-rich
eggs can reduce the benefit. The introduction of more vegetables, fruit and raw foods will definitely
enhance the benefits of giving up eating meat.

B. Older women have less chance of suffering from heart disease than young women.
C. Eating more meat may increase a person"s chance of developing heart disease.
D. Eating meat has little influence on older people"s health.
People who have such an addiction are compulsive: they have a very powerful psychological need
that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders.
They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain
reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting
than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their
pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things
they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people
look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters,however, often buy things that
they don"t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets,
but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people,
they feel that they are winners. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a
good reason for the things that they do and thereal reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, butalso
business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They
consider people"s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs andopinions,
and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a method called "behavior therapy (疗法)"to help individuals solvetheir
personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they haveproblems with
money.
B. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life
C. just to meet his or her strong psychological need
D. entirely with an irrational eagerness
B. because they like to show off their success in getting things for less money
C. because they have money problem
D. because they want to save money to help heir budget
B. the purchasing habits of compulsive spenders
C. a special psychology of bargain hunting
D. the use of the psychology of spending habits in business
B. need special treatment
C. can"t be cured
D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money

butts(烟头) and plastic bags. Litter is a big problem for our environment but it is a problem that individuals can easily do something about. Not littering at all or cleaning up litter, such as cigarette butts and plastic
bags, greatly improves the quality of our environment.
Although cigarette butts are small, they are bad for the environment. Over 1,600 billion cigarettes are
smoked each year in China and large quantities of the butts are thrown away. Worldwide, about 4. 5
trillion cigarette butts are littered every year. Apart from the fact that butts spoil the beauty of the
environment, they contain some very toxic chemicals. These find their way into the water supply where
they reduce the quality of the water and cause danger to plants and animals that live there. So, if people
have to smoke, they shouldn"t throw away the cigarette butts but put them in the rubbish bin instead.
Plastic bags are another common form of litter that is a danger to the environment. There are several
reasons for this. They are made from oil and gas, which are non-renewable resources(资源). If they are
not recycled, these resources are lost to us. In China, 2 billion plastic bags are used every day. A large
number of these become litter. This is a huge problem because they last from 20 to 1,000 years in the
environment. They float easily in the air and water and travel long distances. They find their way to rivers,
parks, beaches and oceans. Plastic bags kill up to 1,000,000 seabirds, 100, 000 sea mammals and
countless fish each year worldwide. It is up to people not to let plastic bags become litter. It would be
better if they used fewer and recycled them.
Cleaning up your cigarette butts and plastic bags would improve the environment. And we would
know that we were doing something to look after our planet. However, I believe the best solution would
be not to smoke or use plastic bags at all.
( 1= paragraph 1; 2= paragraph 2; 3= paragraph 3; 4= paragraph 4 )
B. para1+para2,3+para4
C. para1,2,3+para4
D.para1,2+para3,4
B. useless
C. extra
D. harmful
B. Chinese smokers litter up to 4. 5 trillion cigarette ends every year
C. the cigarette ends can last 20 to 1,000 years in the environment of China
D. people in the world use 2 billion plastic bags in a single day
B. Protect the Sea Animals
C. Clean Up Your Cigarette ends and Bags
D. Use Paper Bags Now
it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (食物). The old saying "an apple a day keeps the
doctor away." is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they
contain vitamins. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form (丸剂), believing that these will make them
healthy. But a good diet is made up of nutritive food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body
doesn"t need or use extra vitamins, so why they waste money on them?
In the modern Western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw
anyt hing into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse
by bad eating habits is frightening.
B. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits
C. apples can take the place of doctors
D. an apple is a sure cure for illness
B. often eating apples is a good habit
C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless
D. a good diet is of great importance for our health
B. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewing.
C. list of people"s illness are caused or made worse by bad eating habits
D. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves
B. take as many vitamin pills as possible

D. throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefully.
people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural
resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.
If we continue to do this, human life on the earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,
with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut
down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on land. Yet, we continue to use more powerful
machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in
most countries waste is still put into rivers, but there are few laws to stop this.
We also know that if the population of the countries in the world is to rise at the present rate in a few
years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is
used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle them.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if all of us think about the problem, we will have a better and cleaner planet in the future.
B. the unlimited natural resources in the world
C. our rivers are being polluted by waste from factories
D. the ways early man protected the environment
B. In the past, there was no need for people to think about environmental protection.
C. If we keep on cutting trees, forests will disappear.
D. We shouldn’t take more and more fish out of the sea, or there will soon be no fish left.
B. Man will destroy himself if he doesn’t solve the problem.
C. Modern fishing methods are helpful in our fishing industry.
D. We should make more laws in order to survive.
B. are being polluted
C. are as plentiful as in the past
D. are being used up very quickly
