"Fish are sensitive, they have personalities’,says the marine biologist.For Earle, eating afish would be like eating a dog or a cat.“I would never eat anyone I know personally.”
There's a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to betouched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human.They can remember thingsand learn from experience.Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these asstrong arguments against eating fish altogether.
The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket.“While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, likeevery other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables,” says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. “Really,it's kind of a moral question.Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (oreating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?”
Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are doubtful."I've never seen a smart fish," says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant.“If they were verysmart, they wouldn't get caught."
“For years, everyone's been telling us to eat fish because it's so good for us,” says another diner.‘‘Now I've got to feel guilty while I'm eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don't eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?"

Some people don’t mind being fat. Other people can keep slim (苗条) without any effort. But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don’t like it. The question is, what can thy do about it?
Some believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam.
A helpful way is food choosing. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They don’t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. You’ll find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they aren’t cheap. Another says that if you eat things like hard-boiled eggs, and apples with their skins on which are hard for your stomach to digest (消化), the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.
For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端的). The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates (糖类) that means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice, and so on and eating anything else you like. It’s straight forward and often quite effective.
Still others like to be more scientific. They are calorie countries. They get a table, which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast let of lamb gives you 330 calories and a 50 gram helping of Yokshire pudding gives you 130 calories.

A.exercising | B.hunger | C.food-choosing | D.eating milk and bananas |

In the United States, 30 percent of the people have a “weight problem”. To many people the cause is obvious (明显的): they eat too much. But scientific evidence (证据) does little to support this idea. Going back to America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don’t eat more on average than thinner people. A 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers showed that fat people eat less than slim (苗条的) people.
Studies also show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting facts:
The more the man ran, the greater loss of the body fat.
The more they ran, the greater increase in food intake.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
【小题1】Nowadays many Americans have the problem that ______.
A.they are too slim | B.they work too hard |
C.they are too fat | D.they lose too much body fat |
A.150. | B.300. | C.600. | D.270. |
A.Yes, there is plenty of evidence. |
B.Of course, there is some evidence to support this. |
C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this. |
D.We are not sure. |
A.ate more food and had more physical activities |
B.ate less food but had more physical activities |
C.ate less food and had less physical activities |
D.had more problems |
