. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊貓) eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子) . Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶) will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多樣化飲食) . The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has bee an area of study in modern life. 60.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food 61. Which of the following eats only one type of food? A.

A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet C Our ―Mommy and Me‖ time began two years ago. My nextdoor neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. ―I wish I could take one of my children out alone,‖ said Christie. Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I‘ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I‘ll take someone out. The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of ―Mommy and Me‖ time. Christie‘s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. ―She‘s like a different child when there‘s no one else around,‖ Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn‘t have to make an effort to gain attention. Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的) son, Tom, doesn‘t stutter once during our activities since he doesn‘t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who‘s always a follower when around other children shines as a lea。 Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales. Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales. Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction. Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel. Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on. owner B More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple. The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1996, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves. The new type of pineapple looked more yellowygold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hitandmiss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly being the world‘s bestselling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple. In nutrition(營養(yǎng) ) it was all good news too. This nicetasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(維生 素 C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater. Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself. But other fruit panies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those panies argued successfully that Del Monte‘s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market. 60.
