In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some sociologists suggest that one little – noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.

       Before the appearance of television seats, the American dinner was a big event for the family. In many homes dinner time may be the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three stages. In the preparation stage, the children and Father frequently helped with setting while Mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating stage, family members shared the day’s experiences and more than food was consumed. In this stage families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity(團(tuán)結(jié)) was strengthened. In the cleaning – up stage, children or Father again gave their hands, so that their significance to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been erased by a product—the television set.

       By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just twenty minutes long. The speed – up of this once – leisurely experiences is clearly connected to the overall pace of modern life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be consumed between the opening and closing credits of a half – hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.

According to the passage, the American family is now threatened by       .

A. poverty  B. having few children  C. poor living conditions   D. separation

In the past, Americans tended to        .

A. spend more time eating their food at dinner table

B. eat more food than they have today

C. spend more time talking about their day’s experience at dinner table

D. talk so much that they forgot to eat

The shortening of the dinner time in America is related to        .

A. the TV programs                      B. the pace of modern life

C. the wide use of household appliances      D. the popularity of fast food

The best title for this passage might be       .

 An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sale of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues an public, has traveled 10,000 "food miles" before it reaches Western customers. "Transporting water halfway across the world is

surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK." It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying prawns(對(duì)蝦) from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from Sooth Africa (5,900 food miles).

      Counting the number of miles traveled by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage clone by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy-efficient (高能效的). It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers' market does not necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of "food miles" ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.

     What the idea of "food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global (全球的) trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.

 

68. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that_______

    A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products

    B. some imported goods cause environmental damage

    C. growing certain vegetables damages the environment

    D. people waste energy buying food from other countries

69. The phrase "food miles" in the passage refers to the distance _______.

    A. that a food product travels to a market

    B. that a food product travels from one market to another

    C. between UK and other food producing countries

    D. between a Third World country and a First World food market

70. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ______

    A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones

    B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than British ones

    C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel

    D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money

71. From the passage we know that the author is most probably.__

    A. a supporter of free global trade

    B. a member of the Food Commission

    C. a supporter of First World food markets

    D. a member of an energy development group
