  If you know that a company is making something that destroys the rainforests, stop buying it. This is called a boycott(抵制).

  In 1987, RAN led a national boycott of Burger King. Burger King was importing(进口)cheap beef from South American countries where rainforests are cut to raise cattle. During the boycott, many people stopped eating at Burger King. After sales went down, Burger King said he would stop importing beef from rainforest countries. People discovered they had the power to change things through what they bought.

  The written word is also very powerful. Write a letter to the President of the company you are boycotting! They do pay attention to your letters. So do city officials, congress(国会)people and senators(参议员).

  In 1989, Scott Paper Co. wanted to use the rain-forest land in Indonesia. Scott was going to cut down the rainforest and plant eucalyptus(桉树)trees, which grow fast, to make paper products. 25000 indigenous(土生的)people would have lost their homes. RAN started a letter-writing campaign(运动)asking people to write the President of Scott Paper Co.. After receiving hundreds of letters and phone calls, Scott canceled(取消)the project. Two million acres of rain-forest were saved.

(1)The passage mainly tells about ________.

[  ]

A.why RAN led a national Boycott of Burger King

B.what a boycott is

C.what we can do to help save the rainforest

(4)How many ways are mentioned in the passage to save the rainforests?

(5)From the last paragraph, we can guess ________.

[  ]

  Each type of oil has what is called a“smoke point. ”The smoke point is the specific temperature at which the oil starts to break down, or in more technical terms, its molecular structure begins to change. These molecular changes result in; changes in flavor, as well as W ww.k s 5u.com changes in nutritional value,specifically,the nutritional value of the oil starts to reduce;changing what once may have been considered an especially healthy oil,like Olive,into one that is unhealthy.

   The higher an oil’s smoke point is,the higher the temperature of the oil can be.As a result, each type of oil should be used for the cooking method that is most appropriate to its individual smoke point and heat tolerance.
