time made many foods unfit to eat Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945 some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colours in meats and other food additives caused cancer Yet these additives remain in our food and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings of foods are helpful or harmful The additives which we eat are not 2 all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to their animals and because of this penicillin has been found in the milk of cows Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health but just to make a profit The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in

the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority With the city s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020 Chen Yin an official with the water authority said Shanghai s water consumption will not increase from its present amount Zhang Yue director of the Urban construction Division under the Ministry of Construction said Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions They will not be easy to achieve He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China s economy Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city s infrastructure 基础设施 costs by 10 000 yuan Last year Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages Chen said The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water Shanghai lacks drinkable water The Huangpu River which supplies 80 percent of the city s drinkable water is nearing exhaustion The city therefore has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water Besides penning regulations the authority is popularizing technology among the public to 3 efficiently cut the amount of water used At present

you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man s face there When the moon is round and full the shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes At least some people think so If there were a man on the moon instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man what would he be like He would not be like anyone you know He would not be like anyone anybody knows If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are he could not stay on the moon The moon becomes very very hot It becomes as hot as boiling water And the moon becomes very very cold It becomes colder than ice 4 Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright The rest of the moon is cold and dark If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive he couldn t live on the moon because there s no air there He d have to carry an oxygen tank as astronauts do There s no food on the moon either Nothing grows not even weeds If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains he would be very happy There are many high places there such as the raised land around the holes or craters of the moon Some of these rims are as tall as Earth s highest mountains But if the man on the moon liked to swim he would be unhappy There is no water on the moon just dust and rock When you think of what it s like on the moon you may wonder why it interests our scientists One reason is that the moon is Earth s nearest neighbor it is the easiest place in space to get to Going back and forth between the moon and Earth astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long long trips to some of the planets Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes A telescope on the moon would give them

Principles of Geology 地质学 The earth according to Lyell was not only thousands of years old it was millions of years old As to 关于 the common belief that changes in the earth s surface happen suddenly because of a single earthquake or flood he said that this might happen once in a while but usually these changes took place very slowly He believed that the surface of the earth had been changing from the beginning of time The changes he said were caused by the long term action of the winds and seas and by forces such as volcanoes breaking out under 7 the earth s surface Once in a great while he thought a mountain might appear for the first time after an earthquake But usually mountains would rise slowly and steadily Professor Henslow was interested in Lyell s ideas but he did not actually believe them Charles Darwin could not make up his mind about them But they set him thinking along lines which would later change the beliefs of thoughtful people all over the world At Cambridge Charles Darwin studied just enough to pass the examination and received his college degree in 1831 During this time he had become more and more interested in geology At the end of the school year he went to North Wales with one of his teachers to examine the rock formations 构成 and to search for fossils 化石 Fossils are the remains of ancient living things They are usually found fixed in rocks in the earth s crust 地壳 Fossils may be of animals such as fish insects birds or humans They may be of plants from tiny leaves to huge trees When a living creature dies it usually decays 腐烂 or is eaten by animals However if it sinks into a riverbed 河床 or is quickly covered by the blowing sands of a desert storm the bones are kept up in the earth Over many years the soft inner parts of a bone disappear leaving the inside hollow 空的 Water containing mineral enters into the hollow Slowly the mineral hardens and makes the bone hard and heavy like stone 31 According to Charles Lyell it is mainly that the earth has been formed like today s shape A from the beginning of time B past some experiences of big flood C over a very long period of years D because of several big earthquakes 32 Charles Lyell believed the fact that a mountain is formed A more by seas than by volcanoes B more slowly than suddenly C more by an earthquake than by winds D more steadily than quickly 33 Unlike Professor Henslow Charles Darwin A never thought Lyell s ideas were right B did made up his mind not to accept Lyell s ideas C thought about what the world were then thinking about D thought over Lyell s ideas and developed them 34 The main purpose of Darwin s going to North Wales was to A make a study of fossils B apprecia
