Recently 3 kinds of foods are very popular in the US.

Convenience Foods

Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as soups and vegetables.

Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don't like cuisine or washing dishes. But they often cost more money than fresh, unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives. Also they don't taste as good as home cooked foods.

Health Foods

In the 1960s, a "back-to-the earth" movement was started by young people in the US. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. Many people now prefer natural and organic foods to the prepared foods sold in food stores.

Diet Foods

These, days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight. American supermarkets sell a variety of diet foods as diet soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings. Each year dozens of new diets are popularized. However, some of the diet foods are unbelievable. There are tricks in their advertisements.

      Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.

      The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential(潜能)。

      Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says, “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.”

      Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes(蚊子).His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.

      The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It’s “molecular(分子)science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says. The program broadened students’ knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.

      At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They’re also paid $600 for their work----another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.

       Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.

63.The research program is chiefly designed for           .

       A. high school advisers from Houston

       B. college students majoring in agriculture

       C. high school students from different places

       D. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

64.It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas           .

       A. had little chance to go to college

       B. could often take part in the program

       C. found the program useful to their future

       D. showed much interest in their high school experiments

65.When the program was over, the students           .

A. entered that college         B. wrote research reports

C. paid for their research      D. found way to make money

66.The underlined expression “on the cutting edge” in paragraph 5 means “on the most________

position”.

       A. important         B. favourable  C. astonishing      D. advanced

67.What would be the best title for the text?

       A.A Program for Agricultural Science Students

       B. A Program for Animal Science Students

    C. A Program for Medical Science Lovers

    D. A Program for Future Science Lovers
