In our rush to make life easier, we have decided to go blindly into the future without paying a thought to the severe consequences. The results have been great profits for individuals who have invested their time and money in industries that have improved their (and some others’) quality of life. 1.

But if we can create pollution, we can reduce it too. The problem is time and money. And time and money happen to be the investment that the creators of the pollution claim to have made to make life better for all, which means they have made a mess, to some or a large extent, in all cases.

The United States suffered from problems similar to what China is facing today. 2. The US government finally opened its eyes to the problems and told industries to cut down their polluting emissions（排放）, for which it implemented strict laws requiring clean air and water. All the states in the country follow the regulations, and have added additional requirements that enhance the environmental laws. The end result is cleaner air and water.

3. The answer: the costs for keeping the environment clean eventually became the burden of the people. The equipment needed to create a healthy lifestyle has been added to the cost of making what we want.

The materialistic world that we live in is the cause of most of the pollution. If you wish, you can move away from cities and industrial regions causing the problem. 4. However, you will soon realize how really small the world is when pollution catches up with us through the wind and rain.

It will take time and money to solve the problems the environment faces today. 5. What the Chinese government should do is to immediately implement strict laws that require clean air and water.

A. So who paid for the clean air and water?

B. The results left scars on the land, dirty air and water.

C. If so, you may escape from the commonly known PM2.5.

D. I’m sure you can find places that are yet to be affected by the pollution.

E. The US government created the Environmental Protection Agency to oversee these laws.

F. But the longer we wait, the worse they will become and the more they will cost to solve.

G. However, that has also brought us side effects like polluted air and water we have to endure.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.

After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.

In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.

1.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?

A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.

B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.

C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.

D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.

2.This text is mainly the relationship between _________.

A. Americans and the French

B. life style and obesity

C. children and adults

D. fast food and overweight

3.The text is mainly developed __________.

A. by comparison B. by space

C. by process D. by classification(分類)

4.Where does this text probably come from?

A TV interview B. A food advertisement

C. A health report D. A book review
