S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). said Friday.More than 9,000 Americans die each year from food-borne diseases and some scientists believe fresh produce is the biggest carrier of contamination.The FDA issued a set of draft guidelines for U. S. and foreign growers to carefully monitor worker hygiene, water quality, manure management and transportation.These 34-page draft guidelines urged growers to give workers lessons on basic hygiene such as using soap to wash their hands, covering wounds that could come into contact with produce, and using only clean toilets.The FDA guidelines identified “the major source of contamination” for fresh produce as human or animal feces（排泄物）.“We think just proper controls and proper attention to detail would make a big difference in food safety,” said and FDA official, “It is our belief that these guidelines would not be very costly.”But grower groups disagreed with the FDAs assessment. “Most food-borne disease outbreaks that happen further down the distribution line are due to contamination because people preparing food are not properly washing their hands,” said Stacey Zawal, an official with United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association. “That is not necessarily true for growers and packers.”Some U. S. grower organizations have expressed concern that the agency is interfering with on-farm practices. Others object to the FDAs proposal to have growers formally document the picking, handling and transportation of produce so that health officials could quickly recall foods if necessary.Consumer groups criticized the FDA guidelines as of little use because they will not carry the force of law. But stricter regulations could evolve as researchers find new technology or methods to kill harmful bacteria or parasites, the FDA said.The FDA recommendations are due to be made final by the FDA later this year for use by U.S. and foreign growers. The matter of encouraging foreign growers to adopt the guidelines remains somewhat tricky but FDA officials say it is vital because of the huge amount of imported produce.1. “Food-borne diseases” in this passage means those diseases _.A. which people get by eating fruits which have been pollutedB. which people get by eating too many kinds of foodC. which many kinds of fruit get when polluted by fecesD. which fruit-growers get by their failure to keep themselves clean2. Some fruit grower groups believe that most food-borne diseases are caused by _.A. growers lack of attention to personal hygieneB. lack of effective guidelinesC. the FDAs decision to import more foreign fruits and vegetablesD. people involved in distributing fresh produce3.

Consumer groups criticized the FDA guidelines because they didnt think that these guidelines _.A. had won enough support from the farmers B. had been written with strict regulationsC. would surely be carried out D. included new technology5. The last paragraph suggests that _.A. some tricks need to be adopted to encourage foreign growers to follow the FDA guidelines.B. a good way should be found to encourage foreign growers to follow the FDA guidelines.C. foreign growers consider the guidelines to be of great importance to them.D. it is almost impossible to ask foreign farmers to follow the guidelines.（2）Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by student organizations. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.6. Normally a student would at least attend _ classes each week. A. 36 B. 12 C. 20 D. 15 7. According to the first paragraph, an American student is allowed _.

No matter how old your kids are, you can take steps to improve nutrition and to encourage smart eating habits.

Children like to guess what they are going to have and parents get the chance to introduce new foods to children and to find out which foods they like and which ones they dont.Teens may turn up their noses at your plan of a family meal. It is not surprising because theyre trying to establish independence. Yet studies find that teens still want their parents advice, so they use the mealtime as a chance to reconnect.Stocking Up on Healthy FoodsKids, especially younger ones, will eat mostly what they can get at home. Thats why its important to control the supply linesthe foods which you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. You should have enough fruits, vegetables, lean meat and other good sources of protein, such as eggs and nuts, and healthy snacks, such as yogurt, peanut butter and whole-grain biscuits.Being a Good ExampleThe best way for you to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day. By eating fruits and vegetables and avoiding fast food and sugary drinks, youll be sending the right message.No Conflicts over FoodsParents might find themselves shouting at children to get them to have healthy foods in front of them. This in fact can make children dislike what they are asked to eat.Get Kids IncludedMost kids will enjoy making the decision about what to make for dinner.
