a. critical.b. favorable.c. conservative.d. negative.70. what is the text mainly about? a. a new technique to create power.b. a crisis concerning conventional batteries.c. some special sources of power.d. the development of power harvesting.dwhy 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. improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. to protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when weve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. the b
