a. eat two or more servings of brown rice a week. b. replace white rice with brown rice.c. do research to find the exact reason.d. eat white rice in poor areas for diabetes.65. what is the main idea of the text?a. eating brown rice doesnt develop diabetes.b. eating white rice increases the risk of diabetes.c. refining white rice is not good for peoples health.d. how diabetes results when people eat white ricecaugust 9，monday unfortunately，therese had to work，so she couldn t spend the day with usbut we headed out with her around lunchtime to explore on our owngoteborg is a lovely city，full of nice neighborhoods and parksin the evening，therese and ola cooked us a tasty swedish meal and we sat around chatting for hoursaugust 10，tuesday we had to leave the house at 9：00 amwe caught the train to the ferry station to go to the city，where we ate fast food in order to get some work donewe explored goteborg a bit morethe evening was full of south and central american food pebre，pepper, roasted garlic，argentinian wine and mustard.august 11，wednesday as always，it was a rush to get out of the house in time，and in our haste we left our beloved coffee machine behindwe caught the train to stockholmwe stayed with niklas，who we met in lithuania in 2007we went for a walk in the forest after dinneraugust l2，thursday niklas doesnt have the internet at home and we couldnt really work there，so instead we headed into his office for the morningwe worked hard until lunch and then went to see stockholmwe met ulrikea friend of niklasin the eveningwe went for another walk in the forestits so good to be hiking again!august 13，friday we left niklas place and managed to catch the bus which took us to the city centerour host benny met us at the station and took us for a long walk after dinnersince it got dark at about 11：00 pm，we could stay out as we wantedwe are leaving tomorrowi really had a great time in sweden66. this passage is most probably taken from the writers_.a. research b. novel c. diary d. school paper67. on august 9, the reason why therese didnt join the writer until lunchtime is that_. a. she had to prepare meals b. she had to go to goteborg c. she wanted to explore on her own d. she had to go to her work68. on which days did the writer take a walk in the forest?a. wednesday and thursday. b. monday and wednesday.c. monday and tuesday. d. wednesday and friday.69. what does the underlined word haste in the passage mean?
