36、ve Dis nearer to the city centerC“Drink your milk. Its good for you!” Youve probably heard that many times, and its true. Milk contains calcium（钙）, which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The US government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, sa

37、ying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal.However, a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program. The US Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM责任医疗医师委员会) says, “Milk is high in sugar, fat and animal protein,” all o

38、f which have negative effects on health. The PCRM says there are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans, broccoli, cereals and tofu. Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient. “One of the only reasons people prefer milk is because it is

39、going to help build strong bones,” says Dr Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs.Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that affect your bone strength, such as genes, how much vitamin D yo

45、 to decide what to do with the milkDit will take a long time for the government to makes a final decisionDJust as music and lighting can influence what shoppers buy, turning down the tunes and dimming（变昏暗）the lights in a fast food restaurant can help diners enjoy their meal more and eat leas, accord

46、ing to a USstudyAfter transforming part of a fast food restaurant in Illinois with milder music and lighting, researchers found that customers ate 18 percent fewer calories than other people in the unmodified （未调整的）part of the restaurant "When we softened the lights and the music in me restaura

47、nt, it didnt change what people ordered, but what it did do was lead them to cat less and make them more satisfied and happier," said Brian Wansink, a professor of marketing and consumer behavior at Cornell University in New YorkDuring their experiment, after seating customers in both the origi

53、the media as well and therefore people rather bite their tongue than to express disagreement and that leads to a lot of unexpressed disagreement that keeps building up steam under the surfaceOn all things in life where there is unexpressed disagreement, improvement is zero Expressing disagreement is

54、 much better than not expressing itAgreeing to disagree is an agreeable method because the disagreeing party has at least expressed the points of disagreement so that the other party at least know that there is in fact disagreement and can now take a serious look at the issues that are causing the d

55、isagreement and perhaps improve the situation by making some changesAgreeing to disagree does not require the very unpleasant confrontations（对抗） that are created by those that insist that there must be agreement on all issues at all timesThe concept of agreeing to disagree is a hard thing to “sell” because human nature is very insist
