    A food additive 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 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 are subjected to 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 food additives are very slim.

    68. From the passage we can learn that        .

      A. all foods consist of chemical substances

      B. it is right to reject chemicals in food

      C. food additives are harmful to our health

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

    69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

      A. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.

      B. To ensure food safety, the FDA will ban food additives.

      C. Foods free of additives can keep a much longer shelf life.

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

    70.We can infer from the regulation to the food additives by the FDA that        .

      A. new additives will be approved more easily than before

      B. food producers won’t be allowed to use new food additives

      C. food with common-used additives will be taken off the market

      D. food additives will be used in a safer and more scientific way

    71. According to the writer, the food additive is        .

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

    A D D B

    The key to reaching or staying at a healthy weight is regular exercise and good eating habits. Teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. Note the word “activity”. As long as you’re getting your body moving, it doesn’t have to mean doing complicated exercises or going to the gym (体育馆) every day. All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including aerobic (有氧健身法的) strength building, and flexibility (柔韧性) exercise. Make exercise a habit by scheduling some every day.

    On days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class, you may have no trouble exercising for an hour or more. But most of us are busy, and 60 minutes a day of activity seems like a lot of time. The good news is that it’s OK to divide it into shorter “exercise breaks” throughout the day. Just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself getting hungry, exercise snacks can keep energy level high. So get up 15 minutes earlier and do some yoga or other stretching (伸展) activity. Fast walk or jog (慢跑) for 15 minutes at lunch. Do the same thing after school ­­­­­or walk or bike home. Add to that taking the stairs, gym class, and walking between classes during the day, and you’ve probably reached your 60 minutes.

    Here are 5 simple ways to make an exercise lifestyle change:

    1. Start today. Go outside for a walk.

    2. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

    3. Instead of driving, walk or bike to places like school or a friend’s house.

    4. Clean your room or wash the car.

    5. Limit your time watching TV, using the computer, or playing video games--and when you do play, try some games that get you moving.

     

    1. The underlined phrase “exercise snacks” in the second paragraph probably means ________.

    A. food eaten before exercise

    B. food eaten during exercise

    C. shorter “exercise breaks”

    D. a new kind of exercise

    2.Why should we have exercise snacks every day?

    A .Because they can stop us getting hungry

    B. Because they can keep energy level high

    C. Because they can include many kinds of sports

    D. Because they are more likely to relate to our daily life

    3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

    A. To go hiking on your holidays

    B. To spend less time on computer games

    C. To go to school on foot or by bike

    D. To do some housework at home

    4.What will be most probably discussed in the following paragraph?

    A. Losing weight   B. Good eating habits   C. Exercising your brain  D. Outdoors exercise

    5. What would be the best title for this passage?

    A. Regular exercise    B. School exercise    C. Indoors exercise    D. Difficult exercises
