Vinegar（醋） is an old folk treatment beneficial in a long list of diseases．Some people say that it can guard against lower blood pressure , prevent cancer, destroy infection, assist in digestion and weight control, maintain memory, and protect the mind from aging．
Vinegar is said to have been used for medical diseases for at least 10,000 years．The Babylonians first made wine into vinegar in 5000 BC using date palms, grapes, and figs, and believed vinegar had exceptional curing natures．Hippocrates is said to have used vinegar as an antibiotic（抗生素）．Samurai warriors supposedly used vinegar for strength and power．During the U．S．Civil War, soldiers used vinegar to prevent stomachic upset and as a treatment for various diseases including pneumonia and scurvy．It was used to treat wounds during World War I．
The name vinegar comes from a French word meaning "sour wine．" Vinegars take their name from the material used to make the vinegar, i．e．, apple cider vinegar comes from apples, wine vinegar comes from grapes．
Apple cider vinegar is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid．Sugar and yeast are added to the liquid to start the fermentation（发酵） process, which turns the sugars into alcohol．In a second fermentation process, the alcohol is turned into vinegar with its sour taste．

We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.
Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.
Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient（成分，尤指烹饪） makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.
Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.

Going green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume (消耗)less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar（醋） and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.
67. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Going Green. B. Protecting the Planet.

68. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.
A. they were expected to follow the green fad
B. they didn’t know how to educate other people
C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy
D. they needed to perform unusual green tasks
69. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?
A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits. B. They ignore others’ ungreen behavior.
C. They chose better chemical cleaners. D. They sold their home-made food.
70. What can we infer form the last paragraph?
A. The government will give support to the green people.
B. The couple may continue their project in the future.
C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.
D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.
