The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced trends in fruit and vegetable consumption(食用) among adults. Since 2000, the CDC has made efforts with goals of getting 75% of Americans to eat two or more servings of fruit a day and 50% of Americans to eat three or more servings of vegetables a day. Unfortunately, Americans aren’t meeting these modest targets.

Although a diet high in fruit and vegetables can reduce the risk of many diseases, Americans just aren’t getting enough. In fact, since 2000, the amount of vegetables Americans are eating has stayed the same and the amount of fruit Americans are eating has gone down. The CDC also finds that only about a third of adults are eating their expected servings of fruit, and just over a quarter of adults are eating their expected servings of vegetables.

So why aren’t Americans getting their expected servings of fruit and vegetables? It turns out that Americans might be spoiled when it comes to their produce. A national survey conducted by Fruit2day reveals that nearly half of Americans leave fruit in their fridges until it rots with people in Boston among the worst and those in New York and Los Angeles among the best. Sadly, most Americans admit to leaving fruit in the fridge for more than a week.

There are many reasons why Americans don’t eat their fruit or vegetables, including the inconvenience of having to wash or peel it. Fruit2day offers consumers a surprising and convenient way to enjoy the goodness of fruit.

“With no added sugar, natural juices and two full servings of fruit, our Fruit2day line has really captured the imaginations of health-conscious consumers who are actively looking to get more fruit in their diets,” said Hanno Holm, president and chief executive officer of Hero-White Wave. “Fruit2day makes getting more fruit in one’s diet easier for any daily snack routine.”

1.For 4 million American adults, how many of them are eating two or more servings of fruit a day?

A.About 1.3 million.   B.About 2 million.     C.About 3 million.     D.About 1 million.

2.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that __________ .

A.Americans have been eating fewer vegetables since 2000.

B.most Americans eat less fruit to reduce the risk of diseases.

C.most Americans prefer fruit to vegetables.

D.over 25% of adults are eating three or more daily servings of vegetables.

3.In which city are people most likely to leave fruit in their fridge?

A.In Boston.         B.In New York.        C.In Los Angeles.     D.Not mentioned.

4.With the help of Fruit2day, Americans can __________ .

A.easily get rid of their bad eating habits

B.conveniently have more fruit in their diets

C.add sugar and natural juices to their diets

D.find another excuse for not eating healthily

5.Americans don’t eat their fruit or vegetables because __________ .

A.they are relatively forgetful

B.they are too busy with their work

C.they don’t think it convenient to eat them

D.they prefer daily snacks with added sugar

Fresh flowers actually continue to grow while in a vase.So in order to keep flowers fresh, you need to consider what the flowers need to grow and stay healthy.Flowers need water, light, and food.Besides, you need to be aware of a few precautions to take.

Distilled water(蒸馏水) is the best kind of water to use for fresh flowers, because there are no chemicals in it.Change the water for your fresh flowers every day or no less than every 2 days to prevent bacteria(细菌) building up.Cut the stems under water again before putting them back in the vase, so that they will be able to draw water up easily.

Keep your fresh flowers out of direct sunlight.At night, put them in the fridge.This will prolong their life.Adding commercial flower food to good water is probably the best method of keeping flowers fresh.Some people put sugar in the water for food.That is OK, but commercial flower food has bacteria-killing ingredients, which can make the water more acidic(酸性的).If you want a more natural food for your fresh flowers, try water that has been specially treated.That solution will also give the water acidity, sugar, and bacteria-killing ability.

Keep your fresh flowers away from fruit.Fruit gas, or ethylene, will reduce the life of your fresh flowers, making them get older faster.Ethylene is what makes fruit ripen.It is given off by dead flowers, too, so be sure to remove them.

If you follow these tips, your fresh flowers will last a long time and beautify any room in which you put them.

1.What does the underlined word precautions in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.problems that happen to flowers. B.advantages of having flowers.

C.measures taken to prevent problems.   D.preparations to grow flowers outside.

2.The fact that distilled water is most beneficial for fresh flowers indicates that ______.

A.distilled water is perfect for people to drink

B.running water shouldn’t be used to water flowers

C.it takes great efforts to keep flowers fresh

D.fresh flowers aren’t used to certain chemicals

3.In order to prolong the life of fresh flowers, you should ______.

A.protect them from direct sunlight during the daytime

B.put them in a damp place at night

C.put them in a fridge all the time

Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap(水龙头)?

In America, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the week's groceries(日用杂货).When they are going to a soccer game or activity, it's common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with them.In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a year.

But all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment.In order to make all the 29 billion bottles, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 months.

So why don't people drink water straight from the tap? Some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but that's not necessarily true.In the US, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safe.There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the water.

People love the convenience of bottled water.But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable steel container instead of plastic.

Some argue that plastic bottle recycling can help.Recycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothing.Unfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycled.The rest make it to landfills(垃圾填坦场) or end as trash in other places.Plastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegrate.

Water is important for you, so keep drinking it.But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change.

And yes, you can make a difference.Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.

1.How many cars can be kept going for a year by the crude oil used to make 29 billion bottles?

A.100.

B.I,000.

C.100,000.

D.I,000,000.

2.Why do Americans prefer bottled water?

A.Bottled water is better than water from the tap.

B.Bottled water is cheaper than water from the tap.

C.Bottled water contains beneficial chemicals in it.

D.Bottled water is more convenient than water from the tap.

3.What does the underlined word "disintegrate" in the fifth paragraph probably mean^

A.Be well recycled.

B.Become less poisonous.

C.Break into small pieces.

D.Go down below a surface.

4.The author's intention of writing this passage is to recommend Americans

A.drink more water from the tap

B.send plastic bottles to landfills.

C.use water bottles to power light bulbs

D.buy bottles filled with water from the tap
