They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease? Most of the food we eat today is processed food( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are added to the foods in these factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some producers do not obey the laws. A producer of steamed buns (馒头) in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law. He was adding yellow dye(染色) and other banned （被禁止的）chemicals to the buns. He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns. Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students. . . like you！ Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger peoples health? The answer is simple: he wanted to make more money. It was a moral failing, and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China. Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others. 根据短文内容，从A、B、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）54.Chemicals are added to the foods in the factories because they _.A make the foods look and taste betterB contain something healthyC will cause diseaseDare full of nutrients55.

A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake. In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety. Some hide under the machines and survive , but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling ceilings. These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education Making a Split Second Decision shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake. By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts find that buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake. In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building. Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.” 根据短文内容，从A、B、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）57.
