17、d, causing permanent damage. Fortunately, I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry

19、. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged cars windscreen, giving my phone number.I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival,

20、the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. “Just charge me,” I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding.

24、e healthy foods we eat are processed, but not in the way you might think. For example, if you have a Mason jar full of organic dried beans, you have processed food in your fridge. Frozen vegetables are processed, even if you picked the vegetables from your garden, blanched（焯水）them and put them in th

25、e fridge. The moment you blanched them, you processed them. When we say we shouldnt eat processed foods, what we really mean is ultra-processed foods.What are ultra-processed foods? If I made flatbread at home, I would make it with materials like flour, yeast, milk, butter and salt. I keep whole-gra

26、in flatbread in my freezer because it deteriorates quickly. Healthy meals for sure.

27、e called an ultra-processed one.If we ate ultra-processed foods only occasionally, it wouldnt be as big of a problem.

28、sed food by 10% increased their risk of developing overall cancer by 12% and breast cancer by 11%.While the study didnt identify the exact reason why ultra-processed foods cause a higher risk of cancer, researchers did have several theories.
