Increasingly, over the past ten years, people especially young people have become aware of the need to change their eating habit, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers , widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil and are rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farm, for example , where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.

There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form. of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fibre. It is significant that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fibre has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of wholemeal bread and more vegetables by modem experts in \

This passage is mainly concerned with_________. A．people' s growing interest in natural foods

B．natural food and health diet

C．the importance of fibre in foods ？ D．harmful effects of sugar

在过去的十年中，越来越多的人们尤其是年轻人已经意识到需要改变自己的饮食习惯，因为很多他们所吃的很多食物，特别是加工食品，是不利于健康。因此，他们对天然食品越来越感兴趣：食品不含有化学添加剂并没有施肥，（这种模式）今天广泛用于种殖业。

天然食品，例如，蔬菜，水果和长在土壤里富含有机物的谷物，简单来说，这意味着土壤已经被植物未使用的物质滋养，这为它提供了必需的维生素和矿物质。这与使用农药和化肥相比，本身就是一个自然的过程，商业养殖区种植的食物的主要目的是增加量数，而不是质量。

天然食品还包括在健康牧场允许放养的动物。与大规模生产家禽的模式相比：大规模的农场是有电池的农场，例如，在数千只鸡一起挤住在一栋楼，并喂以食物比垃圾好不了多少的食物。在这种情况下，鸡作为食物索然无味，，他们生的是一些缺乏重要的维生素鸡蛋。

健康饮食的其他方面现在越来越受到饮食专家的重视。举个例子来说，糖的问题。这实际上是一种必需食品！虽然如蜂蜜这样的天然替代品，如果必要，可用于甜化食物，实际上我们可以没有它。这并不是说糖本身是有害的。但它似乎是让人上瘾的：我们使用的数量一直稳步增长，在过去的两个世纪，在英国今天每个人平均会消耗200磅每年！然而，在表中，它所做的就是为我们提供能量的热量。没有维生素，没有矿物质和无纤维的话。 时下纤维被显著的认为是健康饮食的重要组成部分。例如在白面包，纤维已被清除。但它存在于精制面粉，当然蔬菜中也有。我们注意到，有趣的是，在国家的饮食中含有大量的粗面粉和蔬菜的国家，某些疾病是比较罕见的。因此，调养专家饮食的重点放在全麦面包和蔬菜在“健康饮食”。

2012年大学英语四级精选阅读8（看下翻译即

可，感觉答案有问题）

导读：现在距离英语四六级考试剩下不到一个月的时间，面对考试将近，好学网英语四六级为大家整理了大量资料供大家参考学习。在此，预祝大家顺利通过四六级考试！ When they advise your kids to \an education\if you want to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide man power for your society,（1） but not too much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.

Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in grade school.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad (发射台). But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree, make sure it is an M. B. A. , and only from a first-rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns (报酬递减率) begins to take effect. Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more a year than full professors?Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24, 000, while the full professors managed to average just $23,930.

A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future. There are more Ph. D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far. If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science Or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.

Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns. You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.

4. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Bernard Shaw didn't finish high school, nor did Edison. B. One must think carefully before going for a master's degree. C. The higher your educational level, the more money you will earn.

D. If you are too well educated, you'll make things difficult for the society. 当他们建议你的孩子“接受教育” ，如果你想提高你的收入，他们会告诉你只有一半

的真相。他们真正的意思是获得刚好的教育提供人的能力适应社会，但不能太多，（要是多的话）你会（察觉）社会是一个尴尬的社会。

至少获得高中毕业文凭。不这样做的话，你的职业生涯就断送了，除非你的名字恰好是萧伯纳或托马斯·阿尔瓦·爱迪生，你辍学在小学也可以成功。

如果可能的话得到一个大学学位。拥有学士学位，你是在发射台（蓄势待发）。但现在你必须开始刹车（有所选择）。如果你要的是一个硕士学位，确保它是一个MBA学位，只有师从一流大学。除此之外，收益递减的著名定律（报酬递减率）就开始生效了。

比如，你知道长途卡车司机今年比全职教授赚更多吗？是的，1977个卡车司机的平均工资为24 000美元，而全职教授平均只23930美元。

博士学位是你能得到的最高学位，但除了少数专业领域，如物理，化学，那里的程度可以迅速地转向工业或商业用途，你正面临一个暗淡的未来。还有更多的博士部门在这个国家失业或就业不足世界上迄今为止任何其他部分。

如果在英国你成为哲学或历史或人类学或政治科学或语言或一切中最差的哲学的博士，你冒着教育水平超过了我们国家需求的风险。提个醒，虽然不能满足我们的需要，但是适合我们的要求。

成千上万的博士学位是卖鞋的，驾驶出租车，等待面试和填写一个月又一个月无果而终的申请。然后可能就职的工作在一些高中或回水大学，其支付远低于看门赚取的钱。

您目前可以将收入水平与学业水平划等号。但远远不够，也就是说让你创造的国民生产总值远低于别人应该从你那得到的。

Preserving Nature for Future

Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 counties are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile (爬行类的) species and 24 per cent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
