Organic food has no nutritional or health benefits over ordinary food,according to a major study.
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said consumers were paying higher prices for organic food because of its imagined health benefits,creating a global organic market worth an estimated $48 billion in 2007.
A systematic review of 162 scientific papers published in the scientific literature over the last 50 years,however,found there was no significant difference.
“A small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally(通常)produced foodstuffs,but these have nothing to do with public health,” said Alan Dangour ,one of the report's authors.
“Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority .”
The results of research,which was commissioned by the British government’s Food Standards Agency,were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Sales of organic food have fallen in some markets,including Britain,as a slowdown in economic growth has led consumers to cut back on purchases.
The Soil Association said that growth in sales of organic products in Britain slowed to just 1.7percent,well below the average annual growth rate of 26 percent over the last decade.
64. Why does organic food cost more than conventionally produced food?
A. Because people think they are much healthier.
B. Because they are more delicious.
C. Because people prefer organic food.
D. Because they sell better.

Movie makers at one time worried that they might be put out of business by television. Recently, however, more and more people have been going to the movies. This may be partly because the economic situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, as they get involved in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see.

Americans in the millions are returning to their love affair with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main factors responsible for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economic worries and a large number of new movies with broad audience appeal.

Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theater attendance. “When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape,” comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. “In a shaded theater, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and people find this beneficial.” 

1.What did movie makers worry about before?

   A. That no one would go to the cinema.

   B. That movies couldn’t be a business any more.

   C. That their movies might be played on television.

   D. That people preferred watching TV to seeing films.

2.Why are so many people going to see movies now?

   A. Because people now have much more money.

   B. Because people have troubles.

   C. Because people wanted to escape from real life.

   D. Because watching movies is now much cheaper than watching TV.

3.The main topic of American movies is about          .

   A. economy            B. love         C. tradition        D. not mentioned

4.According to the passage, which statement is True?

   A. At present, more and more people have been going to the movies.

   B. Movies attracted people only by motion pictures.

   C. Jack Valenti is anxiously looking for escape from movies.

   D. Movie industry is welcome by Chinese people.
