33、h Buying Organic Food? Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice more for goods with organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product,

34、 you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products arent necessarily more nutritious, and theyre no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest tha

35、t buyers may be wasting their money. We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier, says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. So consumers shouldnt assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleague

36、s conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.While the researchers f

37、ound little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and tradi

38、tional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nu

39、tritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesnt always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U

40、. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste. Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.1、The new research questions whether organic food _.Ashould replace traditional

41、foodBhas been overpriced by farmersCis grown with less harmful chemicalsDis really more nutritious and healthier2、Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that _.Aorganic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseBtraditional food was grown with more natural methodsCboth organic and traditional food

42、 they examined were safeDthere was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food3、Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?AOrganic chicken and pork.BOrganic milk and chicken.CTraditional chicken and pork.DTraditional fruit and vegetables.4、What is the author

In theUnited States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.Television, altho

44、ugh not essential, has become an important part of most peoples lives. It alters peoples ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains (维持) modern life.Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of tradition.

45、 Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists.The primary reas

46、on for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the adver

47、tisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ide

48、as. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization andstandards as it had thirty year

49、s ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.1、According to the author, American television is poor in quality because _.Ait is controlled by radio companiesBthe programs have to be developed partly for economic reas

50、onsCadvertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideasDit is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radio2、In the authors view, American TV should _.Abe entertaining and attractiveBreflect society and attract societyCmaintain and encourage the life as it existsDchange with
