The tomato is the world's most popular fruit. And yes,just like the eggplant and the pumpkin,botanically speaking it is a fruit,not a vegetable. More than 60 million tons of tomatoes are produced per year,16 million tons more than the second most popular fruit,the banana. Apples are the third most popular (36 million tons) ，then oranges (34 million tons) and watermelons (22 million tons) .

Tomatoes were first cultivated in 700 AD by Aztecs and Incas. Explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe,where it was first mentioned in 1556. The French called it "the apple of love"，the Germans "the apple of paradise".

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and fibre,and are cholesterol (胆固醇) free. An average size tomato (148 gram,or 5 oz = ounce) boasts only 35 calories. Furthermore,new medical research suggests that the consumption of lycopene―the stuff that makes tomatoes red―may prevent cancer. As with essential amino acids (氨基酸) ，they are not produced by the human body. Lycopene is the most powerful part in the carotenoid (类胡萝卜素) family and,with vitamins C and E,protect us from the free radicals that degrade many parts of the body.

The scientific term for the common tomato is lycopersicon lycopersicum,which mean "wolf peach". It is a cousin of the eggplant,red pepper,ground cherry,and potato,also known as the nightshade (颠茄) or solanaccae. There are more than 10 ,000 varieties of tomatoes.

The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to obvious abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Yet,instead of joy,there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising,when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary,or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect.

The recent growth of export surpluses (过剩) on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great,partly because of two strange successful grain harvests. North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain's overseas suppliers of meat,too,are offering more this year and home production has also risen.

But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a rise in food prices,due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available,but also because people,frightened by high prices,are buying less of it.

Moreover,the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall,with the result that imported food,with the exception of grain,is often cheaper than the homeproduced variety. And now grain prices,too,are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend.

The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generations have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees,farmers fear they are about to be pressed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 percent above prewar levels,and the government has called for an expansion to 60 percent by 1956;but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion programme is not working very well.

A. The abundant food supply is not expected to last.

B. Britain is importing less food.

C. Despite the abundance,food prices keep rising.

D. Britain will cut back on its production of food.

D. imported food is driving prices higher

( ) 3. The government's expansion programme didn't work very well because .

A. farmers were uncertain about the financial support the government guaranteed

B. farmers were uncertain about the benefits of expanding production

C. farmers were uncertain about whether foreign markets could be found for their produce

D. the older generation of farmers were strongly against the programme

( ) 4. What did the future look like for Britain's food production at the time this article was written? ^

A. The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers.

B. An expansion of food production was at hand.

C. British food producers would receive more government financial support.

D. It looks depressing despite government guarantees.

While drunken driving may be on the decline,traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcoholrelated danger：drunken pedestrians.

Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact,they are drunken more frequently―and with higher bloodalcohol levels―than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents,various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a bloodalcohol level of at least 0. 10―which by law in most states signifies intoxication (醉酒) 一compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents,according to recent federal data.

Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally,especially those involving children,but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2 ,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in US traffic accidents is at least 7 ,000,or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.

"We're dealing here,we think,with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem”，said Richard Blomberg,president of Dunlap and Associates Inc.，in Norwalk,Coon.

Blomberg,whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans,was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research Council's Transportation Research Board (TRE) in Washington in January.

Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past,according to Kay Colpitts,who chairs the board's committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits,she said,and researchers have been puzzled about how to prevent disasters.

A. Traffic Safety.

A. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers

B. are relatively steady at 2 ,500 a year
