Why 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 foods.

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 absorbed into the bloodstream.In both instances,the result is obesity.When too many nutrients are absorbed at once,the body grows fat.

Processed foods contain chemical elements,which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat;as a result,people often overeat.Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle.The body will either identify these foods as allergens(過敏原)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 the body's cells.The body's metabolism(新陳代謝)becomes inactive,and the result is weight gain and obesity.

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks,people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body.Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help.It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance.You need to identify and avoid the foods 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.

1.It can be inferred from Para.2 that________.

A.foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit

B.we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods

C.it is essential for people to protect their vital organs

D.giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle

2.Processed foods are unhealthy because they________.

A.destroy body's cells

B.may lead to obesity

C.a(chǎn)re difficult to digest

D.stop body's metabolism

A.To warn people of the problem of obesity.

B.To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.

C.To inform people of the harm of processed foods.

D.To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.

4.The underlined word “vicious” in the last paragraph probably means________.

A.violent B.progressive C.harmful D.positive

Do you know what a big dream is? 1. Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.

The Self

Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 2. Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.

3.

Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friend destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.

The World

If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 4. In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.

The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 5.

A. Family and Friends

B. How Big Dreams Die

C. Does a big dream show one’s future ?

D. They simply fail until they succeed.

E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong

F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.

G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

Although he is far from the White House kitchen, Obama seems to enjoy the outdoors. “As president, I am in what’s called the bubble(保護(hù)膜), and the Secret Service makes sure that I’m always out of danger ... but I sometimes want to get out,” he said in a video.

What benefits can you have from a film? A well-made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects — the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects — the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A well-made film offers much more than you see in one viewing (觀看).

Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television, or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more you are aware of this, the better you are.

Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating (模仿) her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, idling (閑逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave.

Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents (無能者) fighting with guts (膽量) and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WW II. Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a re-run (重演) of WW II, and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?

1.All of the following are mentioned as noticeable aspects of a film EXCEPT________.

A. the list of names of actors and directors,etc.

B. the cost of a film

C. the music for a film

D. the language used in a film

2.The last sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A. a high quality film can be appreciated repeatedly from different angles

B. a good film always attracts a lot of viewers

C. a well­ made film usually has more than one theme

D. one can never find out how many characters there are in a good film

3.It can be inferred from the passage that in his film,Marion Brando was ________.

A. a motorist who always wore a black leather jacket

B. a homeless man who died of excessive smoking

C. a rebellious man during WWⅡ

D. an idler who didn't have any serious things to do

4.Star Wars is a film________.

A. about WWⅡ B. for politics

C. reflecting WWⅡ D. for peace lovers
