A
JSC Boggs is an artist who makes money.To be exact,he draws money.In the United States he draws dollars,in Britain pounds and in France francs.Each are almost perfect reproductions,apart from the fact that he writes "Bank of Boggs" or another humorous message on them.
When Boggs goes shopping or for a meal,he offers "Boggs dollars" in the payment for what he wants.He also offers real money.It is up to the people selling the goods to take whichever they prefer.
When a shopkeeper or a restaurant owner takes a "Boggs dollar",he or she gives a receipt in return for the things bought.Boggs then sells the receipt at face value to art collectors.This is how he makes actual money for the times when people will not accept his drawings.
The collector uses the receipt to find the person holding the actual "Boggs dollar" and the two talk over what they think would be a fair price.This gives the shop or restaurant owner the chance to make another profit on the goods he or she sold to Boggs.It means Boggs actually gets paid for buying things.And it means that the collector has a unique work of art---each "Boggs dollar" is separately drawn.
Artists like to make us think.What Boggs wants us to think about is the nature of value and money. What is money really worth? Is value of money the same as personal value? Once "Boggs dollars " have been given away by the artist,they often continuew to circulate and grow on value A "Boggs one dollar bill" may have bought the artist a cup of coffee in New York.Now it may be worth a car or an expensive meal.It all depends on that value a person chooses to give it.
Money used to be worth a certain weight in gold or silver.Now it is just worth whatever the government or the banks.JSC Boggs is trying to start another type of money.People can choose "Boggs dolars" or not.And their value is up to whoever uses them.In a way,"Boggs dollars" are "people's money".

Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of food that is considered more healthy than the types of food sold in supermarkets.For example,whole grains,dried beans,and corn oil are health foods.A narrower classification of health food is natural food.This term is used to distinguish between types of the same food.Raw honey is a natural sweetener,while refined(提炼的)sugar is not.The most exact term of all and the narrowest classification within health food is organic food,used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm.Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens,that are treated only with organic fertilizers,that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides(杀虫剂),and that are not refined after harvest,are organic food.
In choosing the type of food you eat,then you have basically two choices:inorganic,processed(加工)food or organic,unprocessed food.A wise decision should include study of the reason why processed food contains chemicals,some of which are proved to be poisonous and that vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed food.
Bread is typically used by health food supporters as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely harmful. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very deadly insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also poisonous. Next, a dough conditioner is added along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons,and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals.
A very poisonous antifungal compound is added to keep the bread from getting moldy(发霉的).
Other food from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving. You see, we buy our food on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want, even if it is poisonous. The alternative? Eat health foods,preferably the organic variety.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Health food. B.The processing of bread.
C.Processed food. D.Poisons.
2.What do all of the additives in bread have in common?
A.They are all used to keep the bread from getting moldy.
B.They are all poisonous.
C.They are all organic.
D.They have all killed laboratory animals.
3.What happens to food when it is processed?
A.The basic content remains the same.
B.Vitamin is not available after processing.
C.The vitamin content increases a bit.
D.The vitamin content is greatly reduced.
4.We normally buy food on the basis of________.
A. organic variety B. beauty
C. refined contents D. smell, color and texture
