　　When we speak of a basic human need we mean something which is necessary to life, something we cannot possibly do without．Food is a basic human need．Without it we would starve to death; but even if we have plenty of food, but of the wrong kind, our bodies will suffer from a lack of the right food．This is known as malnutrition．

　　In primitive countries, people want only the foods which can be grown near their homes, whereas we eat foods which are often grown many thousands of miles away from our homes．Just think of the different types of meat we cat, beef mutton, pork, chicken, turkey, goose, and rabbit．We could manage on a diet of one kind of meat, but how monotonous it would become! Even turkey, which most of us eat only at Christmas, would become monotonous(单调的)if we ate it every day．

　　Yet we cannot live on meat alone, and need other foods like bread and fruit to provide us with other essential nutrients which we need to keep our bodies healthy．

　　We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ：from him in our food wants because of．the wide variety of food we have available compared with him; we have a wider choice．Take fruit, for example, not only can we enjoy the fruits grown in this country, but because of modem methods of transport and food preservation, we can also enjoy the more exotic fruits from countries thousands of miles away, whereas primitive man, is limited in his choice to the kinds of fruit which actually grow where he lives．

　　However they differ in satisfying their hunger primitive and civilized men both experience the basic need for food．

　　The same is true of the second of our human needs．Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies．Since we live：in a temperate climate we need more clothes than people living in tropic conditions．Likewise, our clothing needs to change with seasons．

　　Shelter, the third of our needs, depends upon the climate, the skill of the builder, one's social position, and the materials available．The simple shelter of the aboriginal would not do for US, and yet it satisfies his needs．The three bed roomed suburban house of the average family would not be grand enough for a rich family, and yet the modern house contains many of the material comforts which were denied to the kings and queens of old times．

A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her cat．

     As my dad unwrapped the new bicycle helmet (头盔) that I got him for his birthday, I realized that a
number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.
     Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have
potholes and are torn-up (磨损的). Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets
in many places.
     Where I live, there has been a law in place since October l, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required
to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many
years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.
     One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a
nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness. When he was just awakening,
a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading
up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan revealed that he had a concussion(脑震荡). That evening, while my
dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.
     If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when
my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone
should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.
1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?
A. Young men needn't wear helmets.
B. The writer's father didn't wear a helmet until the writer bought him one.
C. People don't have to wear helmets on smooth surface roads.
D. Accidents do not happen to the best cyclists.
2. In the writer's opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets?
A. Because a law requires them to do so.
B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.
C. Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.
D. Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.
3. The underlined part "we both came to a shocking realization" in Paragraph means "____".
A. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet
B. we were shocked to see the broken helmet
C. we realized that young people needn't wear helmets
D. only old people should wear helmets
4. From the accident that happened to the writer's dad, we can infer that ____.
A. the cyclists should follow the law
B. his dad was not worried about this accident
C. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets
D. everyone should care about life

     In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say
keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land
Cruiser.
     "We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We're just saying that we need to think about and
know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted."
     Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and
manufacturing a dog's food takes about O.84 hectares-or l.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a
German shepherd.
     Convincing flesh-eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non-starter, the
Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping "greener", smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish,
chickens or rabbits.
     The book's playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully "recycled", by being eaten
by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.
     Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resource
s, Robert Vale said. 
     "Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices
which are as difficult as eating your dog. It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to
the supermarket," he said.
     "It's about much more challenging and difficult issues," he added. "Once you see where cats and dogs fit
in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the
three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself."

1. The authors gave their book the playful title to _____.

[     ]
A. the amount of consumed land

C. some familiar examples
D. some actual figures
3. What does "sustainability" mean according to the passage?
[     ]

C. Using a cloth bag.
D. Keeping a greener life.
4. Who may not like the idea of "recycling" pet animals?

C. Animal fans.
D. The authorities.
5. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life?
