Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. You should decide on the best choice. Passage One The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 1. What is the best possible title of the passage? A. Drug and Food B. Cancer and Health C. Food and Health D. Health and Drug 2. Which of the following statements is NOT True? A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

A.Because of science,diseases caused by polluted food haven been virtually eliminated B.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food. C.Because of the application ofssome potentially harmful substances have been added to food. D.The scientists have preserved the color of meats,but not of vegetables. 4.What are nitrates used for? A.They preserve flavor in packaged foods B.They preserve the coor of meats. C.They are the objects of research. D.They cause the animals to become fatter. 5.The word 'carcinogenic most nearly means A.trouble-making B.color-retaining C.money-making D.cancer-causing Passage Two As the pace of life continues to increase,we are fast losing the art of relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift being on the go from morning till night.it is hard toslow down But relaxation is a healthy mind and body.

A. trouble-making B. color-retaining C. money-making D. cancer-causing Passage Two As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between

"fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 6. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____. A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health C. they are traveling fast all the time D. they are becoming busier with their work 7.

D."established links between diseases and stress" Passage Three What is your you like yellow,orange,red?Ifyou do.you must be an optimist a leader.an active person who enjoys life.people and excitement.Doyou prefer greys and blues Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist.At least.this is what psychologists tell usand they should know,because they have been studying the meaning of well as the effect that on human beings They tell us,among other facts,that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up--we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soonas you opened your st as nas you Colors our moods-there is no doubt about room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one and ared dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.On the other hand,black is depressing A black bridge over the Thames River,near London,used to be thesc of more suicides than any other bridge in the areanti itwas repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply, perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

D. "established links between diseases and stress" Passage Three What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up----we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Colors do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. 11."You would rather follow than red" means_______. A. you don't like to follow others B. you would be a member rather than a leader C. you would be afraid of following others D. you would like to be a leader rather than a follower 12.
