If you give something to someone for free, will that person value it and use it? Development experts have debated this question for decades. Some think the act of paying causes people to value something and use it more.

Selling necessary health treatments, others argue, may deny them to the people who need them the most.

Consider, for example, chemically treated bed nets, which kill mosquitoes anti protect people against malaria(疟疾)while they are sleeping. William Easterly, an economist at New York University, believes this is one example of development having gone wrong. In a recent book, Professor Easterly suggests bed nets given free in Africa are often used for the wrong purpose. Yet, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends bed nets be given out free and used by whole communities. The success of a large free bed net campaign in Kenya led the WHO to announce this recommendation

This debate will likely influence social programs in the developing world. Many non-governmental organizations support the creation of self-supporting programs in poor countries. Goods and services are sold for a price to help these programs survive.

According to Rachel Glenerster, who runs a research lab doing development and poverty studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, her several studies have proven that small price changes have a big influence on the number of people who use a product. A price change will reduce the total amount of use of the product as well, she says. She has also found no evidence that the very act of paying for something changes how people use it.

As for a particular product among special populations, some development experts argue that pricing is useful. When it comes to bed nets, Miss Glenerster says research shows no evidence of this. People are just as likely to use a bed net whether they paid for it or not.

For years experts have argued that poor households are consuming less nourishing food than the rest of the population.

But a survey of some of the lowest earners in Britain shows the nutritional value of what they eat is little different to everyone else.

In fact, the same deficiencies in diet were shared by all the population and the findings suggest that poor eating choices are far more widespread than previously suspected - affecting many wealthier families.

These included low fruit and vegetable consumption, not eating enough oily fish and eating too much saturated fat and sugar.

“This is a large and significant study and it shows we are all eating just as bad a diet as each other,” said Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University.

The poorest families were eating only slightly more sugar and slightly less fruit and vegetables, according to the study of 3,728 respondents in the bottom of the population.

Alison Tedstone, head of nutritional science at the Food Standard Agency, said: “ Overall, people on low incomes have less than ideal diets, but their diets are only slightly worse than those of the rest of the population.”

The study also showed that low earners are choosing to eat unhealthily. Their food choices were not linked to their income, their access to shops or their cooking skills.

The findings appear to contradict assumptions that the poor cannot afford healthier foods or are too far away from shops that sell them.

The Low Income Nutrition and Diet Survey showed that like the rest of the population, the poor's daily fruit and vegetable intake on average is below the recommended five portions. Fewer than 10 per cent of respondents hit this target, while around 20 per cent ate less than a portion per day.

More than three quarters (76 per cent) of men and 81 per cent of women did less than one 30-minute session of moderate or vigorous exercise per week.

Some 45 per cent of men and 40 per cent of women were smokers.

This compares with 28 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women in the general population.

According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. Whether the poor or the rich maybe have a bad diet.

B. Even the poor can enjoy enough fruit and fish consumption.

C. Only the poor have a bad diet.

D. The study was conveyed in both the rich and the poor.

What kind of persons maybe eat most sugar?

A. The rich. B. Men. C. The poorest. D. Women

From the passage, we can learn __________.

A. the poor choose unhealthy food because of low income

B. having no access to shops also leads to the poor’s bad diet

C. the poor’s daily fruit intake is as much as general people

D. the number of smokers in the poor is bigger than that in general people

What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The poor’s healthy problem. B. Keep off junk food.

C. How to have a good diet. D. A diet survey.
