题目内容

As a kid, I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing eggs off the shelf. I would run them home to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious cake. Times have changed. Cage-free? Organic? Brown? White? Omega-3s(一种脂肪酸)?Help! Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should be eating.

Brown or white? In fact, color is simply a sign of the breed of hen. Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern.

Extra Omega-3s? Omega-3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed (亚麻籽)，which produces an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs an attractive purchase. My opinion? Eat a piece of fresh fish and get a pure pill of Omega-3s. Let eggs be eggs.

Does your egg need exercise? Free-range eggs are from hens raised without the limit of a cage, though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors. Organic eggs are from hens whose food must meet organic standards. These hens must be raised humanly, and they must be given time to the outdoors. Hey, happier hens do lay tastier eggs.

Does local make a difference? Nothing is better than local eggs. They may have a feather or two stuck to them or be a little imperfect in shape and may or may not be certified organic; however, they have one quality. I know exactly where my food came from and how it came into being! In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what they were fed.

55.What’s the best title for this passage?

A．Which Eggs Should You Be Eating? B．Eggs Are Changing as Times Are Changing

C．Which Kind of Egg Is the Best? D. The First Concern When Choosing Eggs

56. What does the author think of extra Omega-3s eggs?

A．They are a good choice for people to buy.

B．They contain fewer Omega-3s than fresh fish.

C．They have the highest content of pure Omega-3s.

D．They are not the best source of Omega-3s.

57. The underlined word “free-range” probably means “________ ”

A．wild B．cage-free C．organic D．Omega-3-free

58.According to the passage, which of the following has nothing to do with an egg’s quality?

A．The egg’s color. B．The hen’s exercise.

C．The hen’s living conditions. D．The hen’s food.

Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis Cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless, “he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits(成就).Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.

Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many peiole dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ‘You are completely crazy, ’”Saunders says.

In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.

Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.

This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
