A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms（症状）.Certain microorganisms(微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release(释放) poisons that make people sick.Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be coked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.25.

At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.32. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A. be smarter than youB. notice your mistakesC. do better than youD. know what you are talking about33. You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A. your attention is on the contentB. you dont fully understand the speechC. you dont know what the speaker plans to sayD. you find the way of speech-making more important34. It can be inferred from the passage that.A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB. How to Make a Perfect SpeechC. Dont Expect a Perfect SpeechD. Dont Expect Mistakes in a Speech三、七选五（10分）The secret to losing weight isnt just watching whats on your plate; its also about watching whats in your glass.
