Step Back in Time

Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us？ One hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45. But now， she can live until at least 80.

One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better. We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better again. And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily.

But in order that we don"t slip back into bad habits， let"s have a look at what life was like 100 years ago.

Families had between 15 and 20 children， although many babies didn"t live long.Children suffered from lots of diseases， especially tickets （佝偻病） and scurvy （坏血病）， which are both caused by bad diets. This is because many families were very poor and not able to feed their children well.

Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up，bending over a piece of string， because there was no room for them to lie down.

People didn"t have fridges until the 1920s. They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills （窗台板）， blocks of ice， or even burying it in the garden.

Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their parents. If you had lived 100 years ago， you might well be selling matchsticks （火柴杆）（a job done by many children ） or working with your dad by now.

16. On average women lived longer than men 100 years ago. 查看材料

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like

those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. (78)Per-haps he made sounds like those he heard all round him--water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fif-teen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.

The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary big-ger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you toread. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictiona-ry is your most useful book.

From this passage， we know that__________. 查看材料

A.man never made sounds

B.man made animal sounds

C.man used to be like animals to make sounds

D.man learned from the animals to make sounds

Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often centre around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior. will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive.

But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is fight.

Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of their parents’ expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents’ values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.

Health or Profit

Although there is no direct evidence that salt is the cause of high blood pressure ar“hypertension”，there are studies which indicate that reducing salt intake lowers blood pressure．Some scientists are also concerned that excessive use of salt may cause asthma and kidney disease．Therefore most doctors would welcome a decision by food manufacturers to decrease the amount of salt in food．

Many food manufacturers，however，are reluctant to reduce tile amount of salt．Salt is an important flavor enhancer and preservative．British Salt points out that salt is an essential nutrient and regular intake is required to maintain bodily functions．Moreover，according to British Salt，there are greater risk factors in hypertension，such as obesity(肥胖)，lack of exercise，alcohol intake and smokin9．Another reason why food producers are not keen on lowering the amount of salt is probably that they fear that less salt will mean lower sales．Not only

will the sale of processed food containing salt decease but also the sale of soft drinks．

A recent study，published in The Lancet of April l999，proves that if manufacturers cut the salt content of food it will not necessarily affect the taste of the product．Anthony Rodgers and Bruce Neal conducted a study to examine the difference in taste between bread with standard and reduced salt content．Three types of whole—meal bread were prepared，identical in all respects except for salt content．One loaf contained the standard quantity，one loaf l0％reduced and one 20％reduced．Sixty participants，who did not know the salt content were asked to rate the taste on a scale from zero to ten．They also had to guess which loaf contained the standard，10％reduced and 20％reduced quantity．Of the l80 9uesses of salt content，63 were correct，which is not different from what would be expected by chance．

The study by Rodgers and Neal indicates that small reductions in salt content will not necessarily affect sales．If food manufacturers decide to diminish the amount of salt in food，blood pressure of the entire population will shift downwards，which may result in considerable health benefits．One of Britain’s largest supermarkets，Asda，has already decided to decrease the amount of salt in its products．The Asda products will contain up to 25％less salt．

What brought about the demand for reduction of salt for food products？查看材料

A.Studies indicate that salt can cause high blood pressure．

B.Scientists think that the reduction of salt will reduce the possibility of asthma and kidney disease．

C.Doctors are sure that there is correlation between salt intake and many diseases．

D.Studies show that the reduced intake of salt may decrease the possibility of high blood pressure．
