9、 one of the most healthful. It is also one of the tastiest foods. Almost everyone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in almost every part of the world. There are hundreds of different kinds of fruits. And there are thousands of different varieties. In the United States alone, there are several hundred typ

10、es of apples.In general though, there are three separate groups. There are tropical (热带) fruits. These are most important. In this group, we have bananas and pineapples. They are shipped from tropical countries and are eaten all over the world.Next come the subtropical (亚热带) fruits. The most importa

11、nt of these are the citrus (柑橘属 ) fruits. Oranges, tangerines, limes, and grapefruit(柚子) are favorites. Other fruits in this class are figs, dates, and olives.The last group comes from the temperate (温带) zone. In this group are pears, apples, grapes, and plums. Many kind of berries fit this group, t

12、oo.Fruits are very important to human diet. Besides being tasty, they provide important acids, salts, and vitamins. Also , they are easy to digest. Nutrition experts say that the more fruit people eat the healthier they become. 21. According to paragraph 1 and 2 , which of the following is NOT true

13、?A. Most people enjoy eating fruit.B. Fruit can be grown everywhere in the world.C. There are thousands of different kinds of fruits.D. There are three groups of fruits.22. Pineapples are grown in_ climate.A. cold and dry B. hot and humidC. snowy and wet D. mild and dry23. Among the following, _ bel

14、ong to citrus fruits.A. tangerines B. pineappleC. grapes D. apples24. Strawberries probably belong to _ .A. tropical fruits B. subtropical fruitsC. temperate fruits D. none of the aboveBIn Europe people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is g

15、enerally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Ameri

16、cans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:(1)Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most effici

17、ently.(2)Americans, the master of the New World are rebels. They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.(3)Forced to do so,

18、they respond by “playing” with the silver. Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but

19、 also on those of tradition. In Old World Dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders. However, such alertness is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Ameri

20、cans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades.25. Americans use to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right handB. the left hand C. both handsD. either of the two hands26. As the masters

21、 of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to .A. show their independence of Mother England B. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England27. In the sentence, the

22、word “juggle” probably means .A. holdB. play withC. pick upD. lay down28. Which of the following statements is NOT true? .A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.B. The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.C. The Zigzag eating method h

23、as become an American feature.D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.CAll of us eat every day, but most of us dont understand nutrition. How much do you know about good nutrition? Are the following statements true or false?1. People who dont eat meat can stay healt

24、hy.True. As long as people eat enough milk, eggs and meat alternates（替代物）,they can get enough protein.2. Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned vegetables.False. The difference depends more on how vegetables are prepared than whether they are fresh or canned. Vegetabl

25、es cooked in too much water can lose a large quantity of vitamins.3. Food eaten between meals can be just as good for health as food eaten at regular meals.True. Nutritional value depends on what types of food you eat, not when you eat them. Eating an egg or an orange between meals can contribute to

26、 a good diet.4. Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances wont give you more energy.True. Its widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the baby needs doesnt make it function better, Just as overfilling your gas tank doesnt make your car run be

27、tter.5. Natural vitamins are better supplements（补充）for the diet than synthetic vitamins.False. There is no difference. A vitamin has the same properties（性质）and specific chemical structure whether made in a laboratory or taken form plant or animal parts.6. Older people need the same amount of vitamin

28、s as younger people.True. Older people need the same quantity of vitamins as younger people although they need fewer calories. Certain illnesses raise the requirements for some vitamins, but that is true for the young as well as the old.7. Food grown in poor soil is lower in vitamins than food grown

29、 in rich sold.False. The vitamins in our foods are made by the plants themselves. They dont come from the soil. However, the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.If you have answered these questions correctly, you can say you know much about food and nutrition by todays standards.
