Eating Meat一Less or More?
Every second in the United States alone,mnore than 250 animals are slaughtered for food,adding up to
more than 8 billion animals each year. Reducing the amount of meat in one's diet is nutritionally,environ-
mentally,and ethically beneficial.
People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians.Meat has
been directly linked to diabetes,obesity,arthritis,and many other illnesses.Furthermore,meat-eaters are
at a higher risk for diseases,including cancer,and they are more likely to die from these diseases.Critics
say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients,especially protein and iron.Actually,according
to A Teen's Guide to Going Vegetarian,by Judy Krizmanic,protein is found in almost every food,and iron
appears in many vegetables.Getting enough nutrients in a meat-reduced diet should not lie difficult.A 1988
study found that some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs.Diets including more fruits
and vegetables will only make people healthier.
Some skeptics believe that there will be a shortage of food if animals are not eaten.In fact,the opposite
is true.More than 80% of the corn and 95%of the oats grown in the U.S.are fed to livestock.The world's
cattle alone consume enough food to equal the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people,more than the entire hu-
man population.One half of the water used in the Unites States also goes to livestock;250 gallons of water
produces only 1 lb.（磅）of beef. If people eat less meat and more plants,the amount of available ftod will
increase。
Many people become vegetarians I)ecause they feel that eating animals is unethical.90%of these ani-
mals are raised in confinement.Chickenls arid other birds have only about half a square foot of space each,
and since they are raised so close together,a lot of blade is used to cut off their beaks to prevent them from
pecking each other to death.Likewise,pigs that are repressed will bite each other's tails,so both their
teeth and tails are removed as soon as they are born.
Eating animals is hazardous in numerous ways.Even a slight reduction in meat intake is better than
nothing at all.Consuming less meat is beneficial to the health of animals,the health of people,and to the
health of the world.

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____A、They are too slim.B、They work too hard.C、They are too fat.D、 They lost too much body fat.2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____A、 30.B、 50.C、100.D、150.3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D、We don't know because the information is not given4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.A、ate more food and had more physical activitiesB、ate less food but had more activitiesC、 ate less food and had less physical exerciseD、had more weight problems5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

共用题干U.S.Eats Too Much SaltPeople in the United States consume more than twice the recommended amount of salt,raising their risk for high blood pressure,heart attacks and strokes,government health experts said on Thursday.They found nearly 70 percent of U.S.adults are in high-risk groups that would benefit from a lower-salt diet of no more than 1,500 mg per day,yet most consume close to 3,500 mg per day.“It's important for people to eat less salt.People who adopt a heart-healthy eating pattern that includes a diet low in sodium and rich in potassium and calcium can improve their blood pressure,”Dr.Darwin Labarthe of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement."People need to know their recommended daily sodium limit and take action to reduce sodium intake,"Labarthe said.The study in CDC's weekly report on death and disease used national survey data to show that two out of three adults should be consuming no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day because they are black or over the age of 40-which are considered highrisk groups.Yet studies show most people in the United States eat 3,436 mg of sodium per day,according to a 2005-2006 CDC estimate.Most of the sodium eaten comes from packaged,processed and restaurant foods.The CDC said it will join other agencies in the Health and Human Services department in working with major food manufacturers and chain restaurants to reduce sodium levels in the food supply.Nationwide,16 million men and women have heart disease and 5.8 million are estimated to have had a stroke.Cutting salt consumption can reduce these risks,the CDC said.How much salt do most American adults eat per day?A:No more than 1,500 mg. B:Closer to 3,500 mg.C:Less than 3,436 mg. D:Closer to 1,500 mg.

Passage 2The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit toeat. some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illness are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illness because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain inour food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although theFood and Drug Administration （FDA） has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A. To speed up the growth of animals.B. To make the animals fatter.C. To make the animals' meat fit to eat.D. To make the animals' meat rich in nutrients.
共用题干More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.3 These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside, more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea”for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance,one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.5 For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.6 Kridke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more like-ly to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.One of the sleep problems is waking in the middle of the night,unable to______.A: fall asleep againB: become more energetic the following dayC: sleep less than 7 hoursD: confirm those serious consequencesE: suffer sleep problemsF: sleen more than 8 houlrs

共用题干第三篇Eat More, Weigh Less, Live LongerClever genetic detective work may have found out the reason why a near-starvation diet prolonas the life of many animals.Ronald Kahn at Harvard Medical School in Boston,U.S.,and his colleagues navebeen able to extend the lifespan（寿命）of mice by 18 per cent by blocking the rodent's(啮齿动物）increase of fat in specific cells.This suggests that thinness一and not necessarily diet一Iromotes lonq life in"calorie（热量卡）restricted" animals."It's very cool work",says aging researche:Cynthia Kenyon of the University ot California, San Francisc."These mice eat all they want, lose weight and live longer.It's like heaven."Calorie restriction dramatically extends the lifespan of organisms as different as worms and rodents.Whether this works in humans is still unknown,partly because few people are willina to submit to such a strict diet.But many researchers hope they will be able to trigger the same effect with a drug once they understand how less food leads to a longer life.One theory is that eating less reduces the increase of harmful things that can damage cells.But Kahn's team wondered whether the animals simply benefit by becoming thin.To find out, they used biology tricks to disrupt the insulin（胰岛素）receptor (受体)gene in lab mice一but only in their fat cells."Since insulin is needed to help fat cells storefat ,these animals were protected against becoming fat,"explains Kahn.This slight genetic change in a single tissue had dramatic effects.By three months of age.Kahn's modified mice had up to 70 per cent less body fat than normal control mice,despite the fact that they ate 55 per cent more food per gram of body weight.In addition ,their lifespan increased.The average control mouse lived 753 days,while the thin rodents averaged a lifespan of 887 days.After three years,all the control mice had died.but one-quarter of the modified rodents were still alive."That they ciet these effects by just manipulating the fat cells is controversial,"saysLeonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,who studies calorie restriction and aging.But Guarente says Kahn has yet to prove that the same effect is responsible forincreased lifespan in calorie-restricted animals."It might be the same effect or there might be two routes to long life,"he points out,"and that would be very interesting." What can be inferred from the passage about the route to long life?A:It remains to be studied.B:It has already been discovered.C:Eating more leads to long life.D:Eating less leads to long life.
共用题干More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good ThingAlthough the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.These findings,which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night. He added that it might be a good idea for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed,but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep,for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview,Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed."It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed,then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake,"he said.To get a good night's rest,people may not need to______.A:fall asleep againB:become more energetic the following dayC:sleep less than 7 hoursD:confirm those serious consequencesE:suffer sleep problemsF: sleep more than 8 hours

问答题Water is vital for our survival and for producing food. It takes about a thousand tons of water to produce one tone of grain that, fed to cows, produces only 18 pounds of meat. Today mankind is using about 160 billion tons more water each year than is being replenished by rain and fed back into water storages. If this water were carried in water trucks, it would require a 300, 000-mile-long convoy of trucks every day—a convoy length 37 times the diameter of the Earth. This is how much water we are using and not replenishing.
