21、Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.
The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives (添加剂). Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets (鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.
Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to cat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed. In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.
The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.
Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.
【1】What kind of food do energy bars belong to?
A.Fairly health-friendly foods.
B.Especially beneficial foods.
C.Relatively high-cost foods.
D.Highly processed foods.
【2】What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 3?
A.It does harm to people potentially.
B.It can often result in death.
C.It makes people get less calories.
D.It makes little difference to people’s health.
【3】What is more likely to make people feel full?
A.Fiber added to packaged foods.
B.Fiber from fruit and vegetables.
C.Highly processed foods like instant noodles.
D.Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Different Kinds of Processed Foods
B.Recent Studies on Processed Foods
C.How Bad Processed Foods Are
D.Advantages and Disadvantages of Processed Foods
22、Much of our thinking about health is based on wishful thinking. But science provides clear and simple advice for a healthy life. Graham Lawton explores the evidence. Graham proves that you don’t have to be a health and fitness extremist to be reasonably healthy. He has rounded up the latest and strictest health research and changed it into useful advice on all the big health questions: diet, weight loss, exercise, sleep, ageing and so on.
Graham, New Scientist feature writer, is not the common health expert. He sometimes eats fast food. He has a gym membership but rarely uses it. And he takes medicine to keep his blood pressure under control. He neither has a diet plan nor a 6-week program to keep fit and thin.
But he does have a much better weapon: science. In a talk, Graham explains the basic science, tells people some of the secrets of science, teaches people to use the ability of judgement to tell the good from the bad, and helps them to see beyond the headlines. The talk allows people to eat healthily, lose weight, and sort the truth out from science facts.
But he loves outdoor sports. Last year Graham cycled over 1,200 miles and ran the same distance of 15marathons. He often goes swimming outdoors, walks up eight flights of stairs to his desk instead of taking the lift. He eats his five copies of fruit and vegetables a day, keeps enough water in his body, and doesn’t eat much meat. Despite all the bad habits, his good ones seem to be winning. Graham is 50, but his “biological age” was recently measured as 45.
【1】What can we learn about Graham?
A.He has some bad habits.
B.He has an extremely strict diet.

A.Words as weapons.

D.Ability and confidence.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us concerning Graham?
A.His indoor sports of his life.
B.His copies of health books.
C.His healthy lifestyle.
D.His way of thinking.
【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.The Professional Ways to Do Sports
B.The Importance of Exercise for Health
C.The Unique Path to Scientific Success
D.The Secrets of Living a Healthy Life

24、 Justin Bieber may have millions of fans worldwide, but Russia’s bears don’t appear to admire the pop singer’s music --- which proved fortunate for one lucky fisherman.
Igor Vorozhbitsyn had his life saved by a Justin Bieber ringtone, when his mobile phone went off during a dangerous attack by a brown bear.
The 42-year-old was attacked as he was walking to a favourite fishing spot in northern Russia’s Yakutia Republic and firmly believed that he was going to be killed.
Wildlife experts believe the ringtone must have frightened the bear into stopping its attack.
‘Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its attack and that ringtone would be a very unexpected sound for a bear,’ explained one.
Mr Vorozhbitsyn suffered from cuts and severe wounds and was rescued when he was found by other fishermen after using the phone to call for help.
Mr Vorozhbitsyn ---now recovering from his wounds---explained: ‘I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.’
‘I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and it run away.’
‘I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke,’ he added.
Adult brown bears can weigh as much as 600kg and have been known to kill wolves and even Siberian tigers.
Finally, this is a proof that Justin Bieber is unbearable

25、Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.And they must have how difficult it is to write a children’s book.Either the author has aimed too , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the who hears the story and the adult who it.Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not to solve.This may be why many of the books regarded as of children’s literature were in fact written for .“Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in a bookshop or a and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature.After all children and adults are so that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books.So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协) over the bedtime story.
