A vegetarian(素食者)diet may help to protect people against cancer, a UK study suggests. Analysis of data from 52,700 man and women shows that those who did not eat meat had significantly fewer cancers than those who did.
Published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the findings were worth looking into .Although it is widely recommended that people eat some fruits and vegetables every day to reduce their risk of cancer and other diseases, there is very little evidence showing that a vegetarian diet can surely reduce cancers .
But surprisingly, the researchers also found a higher rate of colorectal(直腸的)cancer – a disease connected with eating red meat – among the vegetarians.
Study leader Professor Tim Key, a researcher at the University of Oxford, said no previous study had looked at the diet in this way and that there had been a lot of confusion about the issue.
“It’s interesting – it suggests there might be some reduction in cancers in vegetarians, but we need to look carefully at that”, said the professor.
More work is needed to show the connections between diet and cancer but such studies are very hard to do. Dr Joanne Lunn, a senior nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation, said the findings highlighted the fact that cancer is a complex disease and many different lifestyle factors play a part in determining a person’s risk.
73. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Reasons for getting cancers.
B. Vegetarians get fewer cancers.
C. Tips on avoiding cancers.
D. A surprising discovery on colorectal cancer.
74. Why are the findings worth looking into?
A. They can encourage healthy eating.
B. They show that cancer is a complex disease.
C. they show a brand new discovery.
D. They have been published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
75. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. people eating red meat are unlikely to get colorectal cancer
B. the diet is one of the many factors that determine a person’s health
C. the connections between a vegetarian diet and cancer are clear through the research
D. scientists will soon figure out the relationship between the diet and cancer

Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance.
Yoga(瑜伽)is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis(足底筋膜炎) in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation(拯救) and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it.
Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat(靜修), and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陳代謝), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses.
Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.
Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.
What would be the best title for this passage?
A. What’s Yoga? B. How I Do Yoga Poses
C. The Benefits of Yoga D. The Varieties of Yoga
According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people __________.
A. grow taller B. lose weight
C. become flexible in thinking D. make more friends
People feel tired after yoga because __________.
A. they consume energy in practicing yoga
B. they respond well to yoga poses
C. they spend too much time on yoga
D. they force themselves into yoga poses
If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph?
A. Yoga as a means to keep fit. B. Different yoga poses.
C. Popularity of yoga all over the world. D. Encouraging people to do yoga.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to 36 about the fat body of a(n) 37 I found in my ‘Vegetable Surprise’ last Thursday. It was 38 a surprise to me! A bad one, though. And even worse was that 39 when I realized only half of the white insect was left there on top of my green vegetables.
I informed the 40 of my problem and I did not expect him to 41 and tell me that insects were a good source of protein. I am a vegetarian!
In fact, I have eaten in your restaurant many times 42 and this is the first time I have been 43 . And I do not feel we should have been 44 for this meal, so I would ask you to 45 the cost. I await your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. John Smith

Nowadays a vegetarian lifestyle is becoming more and more popular. Leading health experts agree that maintaining a vegetarian diet is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and our families.
66 . A well-planned vegetarian diet provides us with all the nutrients we need and avoids fat, cholesterol(膽固醇) and the pollutants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products. And it can provide protection against various kinds of diseases, including the three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have lower rates of death from heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and lower rates of hypertension(高血壓) . 67 .
Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than their meat-eating friends. 68 . Vegetarians live, on average, 6 to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.
69 . Animals raised for food consume the vast majority of their calories simply in order to live, just as we do. We feed more than 70 percent of the grains and cereals we grow to farm animals, and almost all of those calories go into simply keeping them alive, not making them grow. Only a small amount of the calories consumed by farm animals are actually turned into the meat that people eat . So it’s really a huge waste, isn’t it ? Try your best to find tips for maximizing(最大化) the health benefits of a vegetarian diet. 70
|
A.All of these diseases are more likely to happen to meat-eaters |
|
B.Living on plants also saves energy |
|
C.Growing all the crops needed to feed animals requires massive amounts of water and land |
|
D.This means that they are less likely to be affected by everyday illnesses like the flu. |
E. Vegetarian diets are the only diets that work for long-term weight loss
F. It’s never too late to turn over a new page.
G. Healthy vegetarian diets support a lifetime of good health.

People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Our diets can also show our personalities because we might choose certain food to tell people something about us.
For example, some people mainly enjoy high quality food, such as caviar (魚子醬) and lobster (龍蝦), and they eat only in expensive restaurants – never in cafeterias or bars. They know about the “better things in life”.
Some people choose not to eat meat. Vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet. Their personalities might be similar too. For instance, vegetarians in the United States and Canada may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly against the war.
Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also usually in a hurry. Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it is a common picture of them.
Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign(星座)have similar food personalities. Aries (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 20) usually like spicy foods, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of Taurus (April 21 to May 22) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too much. Sagittarius (November 22 to December.22) like traditional food from many different countries.
What is your food personality?
1.Why do some people mainly eat high quality food?
|
A.They want to show off their wealth. |
B.Food can show off their social position. |
|
C.They want to enjoy better things in life. |

|
A.who is believed to be a peace – lover |
B.who values the importance of success |
|
C.who cares little about the future of the world |
D.who shows his power to make money |
3.From the passage, we can draw a conclusion that_____________.
|
A.food is just a mirror of the human history |
|
B.we can know a person from what he eats |
|
C.people are particular about the food they eat |
|
D.what people eat may change their personalities |
