_1.__: less red meat and more fiber, less saturated fat (饱和脂肪) and more fruit and vegetables, right? Wrong, according to a controversial new book by nutritionist Zoe Harcombe. In the book, Harcombe charts her careful journey of research into studies that underpin (巩固) dietary advice—and her myth(误区)-breaking conclusions are surprising.

Myth:__2.__.

“Real fat is not bad for us,”says Harcombe.“It’s man?made fats we should be demonizing.”Why do we have this idea that meat is full of saturated fat? In a 100g pork chop, there is 2.3g of unsaturated fat and 1.5g of saturated fat.

Myth: We should eat more fiber.

For three decades, we have eaten fiber into our bodies to help us feel full and keep our digestive systems moving.“__3.__”, says Harcombe.

The advice to eat more fiber is put forward along with the theory that we need to clean our digestive systems. But essential minerals are absorbed from food while it is in the intestines (肠道), so why do we want to wash everything out? Concentrate on not putting bad foods in.

Myth: You need to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

“Five?a?day is the most well-known piece of nutritional advice,” says Harcombe.“You’d think it was based on firm evidence of health benefit.__ 4.__.‘Five?a?day’started as a marketing campaign by 25 fruit and vegetable companies and the American National Cancer Institute in 1991.There was no evidence for any cancer benefit.”

Myth: Fruit and vegetables are the most nutritious things to eat.

Apparently not Harcombe allows that vegetables are a great addition to the diet—if served in butter to deliver the fat-soluble(dissolved) vitamins they contain—but natural sugar, the fruit sugar in fruit, goes straight to the liver and is stored as fat.“__5.__”, says Harcombe, who adds “Vitamins and minerals in animal foods—meat, fish, eggs and dairy products—beat those in fruit hands down.”

A.Think again

B.This is not a good idea

C.Fat is bad for us

D.Fruit is best avoided by those trying to lose weight

E.Want to lose weight? Don’t trust these

F.We need take more exercise

G.We think we know what to eat

I have a neighbour we call Happy. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh(难听的) word to anyone or about anyone.

Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbours watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her backyard.

Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all?day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn't know what was about to take place.

By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By 5:00 pm, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(大量给予之物) of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!

Well, the point wasn't so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company. None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Ben's garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decide to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!

In a very special course at Knnet School, the social-science teacher Adam Smith guides his students through the “married life”. Unlike the traditional course, Adam makes his students experience the real problems married ones may face like housing and child care. “No one tells kids about money-managing problems,” says Adam.

Each student should act out in ten weeks what normally takes couples ten years to finish. In the first week, one member of each couple is asked to get an after school job — a real one. During the term, the income rules their life-style. In the third week, the couples must find an apartment they can afford.

In the fifth week, the couples “have a baby” and then struggle to cover the costs of baby clothes and furniture. In week eight, the marriage comes to the breaking point by such disaster as a mother-in-law’s moving in or death. It’s all over by week ten (the tenth year of marriage). After serious discussion with lawyers about alimony (赡养费) and child support, the students get divorced (离婚) .

Adam’s course, which has “married” 1,000 students since its beginning six years ago, is widely supported by parents and students. Some of the students have found the experience making them realize their real life marry plans are wrong. Marianne Baldrica, 16, who tried “marriage” last term with her boyfriend Eric Zook, 15, said, “ Eric and I used to get along pretty well before we took the course together. But I wanted to live in the city, he wanted the country. He wanted lots of kids, I wanted no kids. It’s been four weeks since the course ended and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again.”

1.What is the aim of Adam’s course?

A. To tell students how to find a good partner.

B. To teach students how to manage their money.

C. To help students act as wives and husbands well.

D. To show students the problems in real marriage life.

2.What will happen in the eighth week?

A. The couples will have a baby.

B. The couples will have to find a flat.

C. The husband will have to find a real job.

D. The marriage will come to the breaking point.

3.After taking the course, Marianne will ______ .

A. choose to live in the country

B. break up with her boyfriend at once

C. ask their teachers and parents for help

D. have a better understanding of marriage

4.Where does the text probably come from?

Your house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’t forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.

A.their home comforts B.their body shape

Do you often lose things? Don’t worry. Now a new tool that can be connected to any object you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to your missing item, within a 50-to-150-foot range. If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be found on other smart phones with the same app.

When you drive the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how close or far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost object—a dog, for example, or a stolen bike—go out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your phone, telling you its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they are never out of battery or needn’t to be charged, and they work for one year before needing to be replaced. And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads.
