They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds. (2) citrus(柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal(谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesnt matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesnt matter if a person eats dinner at 4 oclock in the afternoon or at eleven oclock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the worlds population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.41.

What to do with the two problemsC. How to cook food in different waysD. Why people eat different kinds of foodCPlants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air，water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore, animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you，you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed，some have two，three or four， and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）. Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places，they usually grow into new plants.46. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. plants are important for life B. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants in the world D. we can not live without water47.
