23、istake C. Terrible HalloweenD. I Want to Be a PrincessBWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined food

24、s. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be abso

25、rbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic (酸性的). To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, th

26、e body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat . Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body wil

27、l either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for

28、the bodys cells. The bodys metabolism(新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To

29、stop this vicious(恶性的) circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize （使中和）the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. Its also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods

30、 that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.Raw and whole foods can be your choice.31. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To advocate eating more raw and

31、 whole foods. B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods. C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods. D. To warn people of the problem of obesity.32.

A. destroy bodys cellsB. are difficult to digest C. may lead to obesity D. stop bodys metabolism34. What is likely to

33、 be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Active approaches to avoid acid.B. Different causes of acid accumulation. C. Correct ways to cook raw foods.D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.35. What can we learn from the text? A. Processed foods are good for our appetite mechanism. B. Eatin

34、g the right types of raw and whole foods does good to our body. C. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion more effective. D. Processed foods also comfort the digestive tract.CBlind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation app

35、ears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone elses way of cookin

36、g when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role model

37、s. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glo

38、rifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to cr

39、eate something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has

40、been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve

41、 you. Then you can say,“I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on.”36.

DIn a computer age, a broadband Internet connection is very popular now. Whether cable or mobile broadb

45、and, todays connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too. Theres a catch : You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Intern

46、et. If you dont, its slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out, there may be no Internet access at all. Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs（郊区）, its r

47、elatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities, especially in developing countries. Internet service providers, for their part, have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet

48、 users they would reach wouldnt cover the expense. But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies arent available everywhere. Some companies have delivered t

49、he Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables (光纤电缆) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users. Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesnt have an affordable broadb
