Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of _50_ illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well.

Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult, all the time to know which things on the packaging labels are helpful or harmful. The additives, which we eat, are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of _52_ cow.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分） There has been a lot of talk about Chinese bicycle-sharing recently. Shared bikes are nowadays becoming the center of attention in our Wechat friend circle. Many of our friends post photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and we can see people logging in and out of shared bike apps. But are people really drawn to（被所吸引）the idea of exercise and green transportation all of a studden?Some people have tried Mobikes lately, and they didnt particularly like Mobikes. They think the first generation Mobikes, the ones without baskets, are designed for athletes. They are vary hard to ride, and the seat is not adjustable（可调节的）. Then, they tried the yellow Ofo bikes. They are easier to ride than Mobikes, but they dont usually have baskets, and you need to enter the password by hand, instead of scanning a QR code and having the lock open automatically like with Mobikes. We appreciate that there are shared bikes on the roads. They have saved us a lot of time during emergency situations, and on beautiful, clear days. We do enjoy riding them outside the city. But from what weve seen in our friend circles, people have been giving them endless praises, while we still saw some obvious flaws（缺陷）.In our experience, there has never been a unanimous（一致的）decision on anything in public opinion. It makes us wonder whether these people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others. When we asked them individually, a friend of us, Lisa, secretly told us she tried the bikes to fit in（融入朋友圈）. She doesnt like bikes and finds citys roads too harsh（拥堵）for bike riding. But the only way to hang out（出去闲逛）with her friends was riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again. Another young man, Simon admitted that he started talking about and forwarding information（转发信息）on thared bikes to appear cool and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when Mobikes first launched（推出）. These views will give us something new to think about when we ride bikes again.88. Are shared bikes very popular in our cities nowadays?89. You dont have to scan a QR code when using Mobikes, do you?90. What do you ne
