26、   A food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances (物质)like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.

The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.

Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products.

Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers.

Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects from the long-term use of presently approved (批准) food additives are very small.

【1】From the passage we can learn that  ______  .

A. it is right to refuse chemicals in food

B. all foods have chemical substances

C. food additives are harmful to our health

D. natural foods are much safer than man-made ones

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Foods without additives can keep a much longer shelf life.

B. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.

C. To ensure food safety, the FDA will stop food additives.

D. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.

【3】According to the writer, the food additive is ______ .

A. poisonous B. worrying C. avoidable D. acceptable

27、   Would you like the chance to discover a place of mystery and beauty in the south-west of China? 【1】

How to get there?

Start in the city of Dali and drive north along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway until you reach Zhongdian (Shangri-la), the capital of Diqing. Zhongdian is 659 kilomters away from Kunming, and there are regular flights between the two cities.

The world famous Chinese Shangri-la.

The word 'Shangri-la' first appeared in a classic novel by James Hilton. Today, Shangri-la has become a common English word meaning heaven on earth. Hilton described a beautiful kingdom where three rivers joined together, steep mountains reached to the sky, and fields of long grass covered the earth. In this perfect world lived people who had discovered how to stay young forever.

Which place could officially take the name of this wonderful land? 【2】 Many years after the book was published, some people realized that the Shangri-la of the novel was a perfect match for Zhongdian in Yunnan Province, China. In September 1997, the government of Yunnan Province announced that Zhongdian was the Shangri-la of Hilton's story.

【3】

Three mountains, Meli, Baimang and Haba, which are covered with snow, tower over the land. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picture that will leave you at a loss for words.

Below the mountain, the sunshine reflects on the many lakes, making them shine like diamonds against the rich countryside. Sheep, cattle and horses wander on the green grass, and the surrounding forests are home to many birds and animals. 【4】Nature has provided Shangri-la with endless natural treasures, making the land a happy home for the local people.  

What is the weather like?

【5】 The best times to visit Shangri-la are spring and autumn when the temperature is at its mildest.

A．What will you see in Shangri-la?

28、Dog owners walked about 23minues longer each day than non-dog owners In a new study, dog owners took 2,760 additional seps—compared to people who didn’t have a dog at home. Bu here’s the real good news: That extra exercise was done at a moderate（适度的）pace, which means it could help adults meet their recommended weekly totals for physical activity.

The research, published in BMC Public Health, focused on adults 65 and older, who tend to be less active than younger people. The study included 43 dog owners and 43 non-dog owners, all of whom were monitored continuously for three week-long periods. When they compared the two groups, the researchers found that dog ownership was associated with a large, potentially health-improving effect.

Dog owners walked about 23 minutes longer each day than non-dog owners, 119 minutes versus 96 minutes on average. They also took an additional 2,760 steps, and had eight fewer continuous periods of sitting down. Most of that extra walking was done at moderate pace, defined as 100 or more steps a minute. Dog owners walked at this pace for 32 minutes a day, versus just 11 minutes a day for non-dog owners.

The World Health Organization（WHO）recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week. This increased walking time alone could just about satisfy that requirement, say the researchers—so it makes total sense that 87 percent of dog owners in the study met these guidelines, versus just 47 percent of non-dog owners.

Co-author Nancy Gee says that pet ownership may help older adults get more activity or maintain their current activity level for a longer period of time. “This could improve their chances of a better quality of life, improved or maintained cognition（认知）, and perhaps, even overall longevity（寿命）,”she said.

Here at Health, we’ ll add that caring for pets has been shown to have plenty of other physical and mental health benefits, as well. As animal lovers ourselves, we’ re happy to add one more to the list.

【1】What can we learn about the research？

A．It was targeted on old people.

B．It was sponsored by the WHO.

C．It had an undesirable effect on dog owners.

D．It took the mental health of dog owners into consideration.

【2】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3？

A．To present the results of the research.

B．To show the guidelines of the research.

C．To describe the process of doing the research.

D．To explain the reasons for conducting the research.

【3】What does Nancy Gee think of owning a dog?

A．It is too expensive.

B．It is time-consuming.

C．It enables older adults to live a healthy life.

D．It helps young adults to keep a healthy routine.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Non-pet owners enjoy more pleasure

B．Animal lovers are more generous

C．Young people walk less today

D．Dog owners walk way more

She has some 50 million fans in China and another 8 million overseas, but she remains a mystery to many of them. In her videos, she doesn’t speak, and she rarely gives interviews.
