30、 project handbook. DThe spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment. Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature. David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota. In the study, he examined information from 100 nations to

More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil

32、and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. “The food, let us say, in the 15 richest nations of the world, right now contains about 400 or 500 extra calories(热量) a day that are eaten beyond what people need, and that leads people to gain weight.” David Tillman says overwe

To call on people to give up the Western diet.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is generally believed that mon

39、ey cant buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel.

With the same money you spe

42、nd on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.3.

43、ople with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction, all other things being equal.4. Try giving it away.
