The food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well. Different cultures are subject to certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.

In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐) and nitrites(亚硝酸盐), commonly used to keep color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels(标签) of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cows and chick and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although the FDA has tried repeatedly to control these, the practices continue.

1.How has science done a bad service to mankind?

A. Diseases caused by food have been done away with.

B. It has caused a lack of information about the value of food.

C. Some harmful materials have been added to our food.

D. Scientists have made food more expensive to eat.

2.What are nitrates used for?

A. They help process packaged food.

B. They keep the color in meats.

C. They cure diseases of cows and chickens.

D. They cause the animals to become fatter.

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. You can find out harmful additives on the packaging labels of food.

B. Drugs given to animals are not all for medical reasons.

C. Researchers knew about the harm of food additives about 60 years ago.

D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.

4.According to the passage, the FDA might be _________.

A. an organization which controls the safety of food

B. a producer which makes additives

C. a factory which processes food

D. a hospital which cures cancer

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙) , U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老痴呆症). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.

“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,” Kinsley said.

“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”

Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.

“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.

“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改变) to the brain.”

1.What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?

A. Baby rats. B. Animals. C. Old rats. D. Grown-up rats.

2.What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?

A. Estrogen. B. The hormones of pregnancy.

C. More exercise. D. Taking care of children.

3.“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?

A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.

B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.

C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.

D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.

4.Which title is the best for this passage?

A. Do You Want to Be Smarter? B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter

C. Mysterious Hormones D. An Important Study
