A vegetarian diet is often praised for its health benefits. Vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease, and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes(糖尿病)than people who eat meat. However, most people don't realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth.
Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how people affect the environment. The study showed that eating meat is one of the main ways that humans can change the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.
Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas(沼气)by breathing. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the air comes from farm animals.
Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef while only 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, however, one acre of farmland used for raising cows can produce just 250 pounds of beef.
Many people now see the benefits of a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays an important role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes(拒绝) all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.
Today, many people know that it is important to take better care of their bodies, and to use the earth's resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.

Nov. 21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created by the United Nations just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. Its aim is to encourage people to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts(解决争端)。 The philosophy (理念) behind it is: Say “Hello” and stop war.
It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simple saying “Hello” won’t bring about world peace. Still, the simple act of saying “hello ”to someone can truly make a lot of difference. You raise your head to someone as you pass by , say “Hello’.It is such a casual (不经意的)thing and requires so little effort, but you might even make his day.
Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Some people are lonely because they’re shy. That leads to them feeling cut off.they find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. They may secretly smile in their hearts after they hear your greetings. It’s a good idea, not just on Nov.21, but every day, to remember to say “hello”to as many people as we can.
No one said it better than the French writer Joseph Joubert: “Politeness is the flower of humanity(人性)’’. A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.
1.World hello day was created by ____
A. Israel B. Egypt C. France D. United Natons.

3.Why do some people have difficulty commnicating?
A. Because they are shy B. Because they are polite
C. Because they are strange. D. Because they ae different
4.Which one is True according to the passage?

B. We can say “hello” only on Nov.21.
C. Saying “hello” will bring about world peace
D. We can make the world better by greeting others.
5.The purpose of the writer is to ____
A. Ask people to smile B. ask people to be polite .
