document b. a fashion magazinec. an international newspaper d. a book on interesting culturesc“id like to be at a healthier weight,” a friend told me. “but we just dont have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isnt enough money to join a gym.” many people feel that way that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost. dont lose hope! well be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money. first you dont need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “diet foods.” back in the early 1970s when i started housekeeping, 90% of the food i bought was ingredients. very few things were preprocessed (预处理的). now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food. thats a bad thing. quick foods like boxed “just add hamburger” meals have had the fiber (纤维) removed to make them faster to prepare. take a look at the label (标签) on that box. it often has low numbers listed under “fiber” because fiber takes longer to digest. if the low fiber meal is digested, the result is that your body begins to store fat. besides, your body is short of nutrients (营养物质). you will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating.and then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable. if not, the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldnt enjoy it. however, these chemicals certainly arent good for your health. whats the answer? buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive, low nutrition, processed foods. do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food and it will cost less, too. 29. people who find it hard to get a healthier weight think _.a. they had too much diet food b. they didnt make a detailed planc. they have no time to do exercise in gymd. they cant afford diet food and to exercise in gym30. the author doesnt like quick food mainly because _.a. it contains too much fat b. it makes people eat more c. it has low fiber d. it takes longer to digest31. the underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 4 means _.a. fresh b. delicious c. healthy d. poor32. the author suggests in the text that people should _.a. control the amount of food b. eat more processed foodsc. cook food for themselves d. choose cheap ingredientsdas the longer life and rapid decrease in the laborage population are expected, extending the retirement age(推迟退休年龄) is a wise choice for the government. this is why at the third plenum (全会) of the 18th central committee of the communist party of china (中国共产党十八届三中全会)it was agreed that there should be a study on the subject.it is undoubtedly necessary for the government to adjust its policies to meet the challenge of an increasingly aging society. according to the government, chinas senior citizens above the age of 60 will reach 200 million, about 14.8 percent of the population, by the end of this year, and the figure is expected to grow to 248 million by the year of 2020 and more than 400 million by 2050, when they will account for 30 percent of the population. meanwhile, extending the retirement age will result in several benefits slowing the rapid increase of the retired, reducing the rapid decline in experienced workers and keeping the laborage population at a considerable size for stable economic development. however, before the policy is drawn up there will need to be thorough research, so there can be careful consideration of the interests of all parties to make sure that the new policy does not harm the interests of workers in different jobs.there are 112 million workers who do heavy physical labor and may not be willing to put off their retirement to a later age. and the opinions of government employees and other whitecollar workers will also need to be listened to before a policy is introduced to extend their retirement to a later age.no doubt it will be impossible to please all, but it should be possible to make the policy acceptable to the most. anyway, any extensions that will hopefully help reduce the negative influences of our increasingly aging society also need to be fair. 33. the text mainly tells us_.a. china is going to enter an aging society b. all people agree to accept the policyc. extending the retirement age will bring about multiple benefitsd. china has planned to extend the retirement age34. which of the following is true?a. chinas old people above the age of 50 will be about 14.8 percent of the population. b. extending the retirement age may contribute to the economic development of china.c. extending the retirement age may reduce the experienced workers.d. there will be about 248 million elders by 2050.35. what can be inferred from the text?a. all the workers will be pleased with the policy.b. the whitecollar workers go against the policy.c. there can be many difficulties in extending the retirement age.d. the government should please all so as to give up the policy.
