There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat", and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts（专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.

"When we say some people 'sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts." said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."

In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character- whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.

The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

1.The underlined word "it" in the sentence "Many experts use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit." refers to______.

A. the sweet food　　                 B. the English saying

C. the American team　　             D. the eating habit

“You are what you eat,” says the old saying. So how can we know what food is healthy? Unluckily, a lot of food that looks good may have pollution. Where is the pollution from? It has something to do with how people produce food: growing it on the farm, processing (加工）it in factories, and making it ready for you to eat.

Here’s what happens:

Most farmers use chemicals(化学药品) to stop their crops from getting sick. Many of these chemicals remain in the food that you eat. Some people believe this may cause cancer. These chemicals may also pollute water and air, and kill animals and even people by accident.

Most drinks are just flavored water (加味水). Every drink coming in plastic bottles which you then throw away means a waste. Sugary drinks make you fat.

In the factories, much of what you eat and drink gets messed. Often things are put into food to make it delicious and look good but they might be harmful to people. And some food like meat often gets polluted by bacteria. What you can do:

Try to get organic (有机的）food. Organic food doesn’t have any ingredients (成分）that are bad for the land, air or water. Don’t eat processed food or drinks. Eat fresh food whenever you can and cook at home.

1.Which of the following processes cannot make the food be polluted?

A. Growing　　 B. Eating　　 C. Processing　 D. Making

2.What may be the results of putting chemicals on crops?

①Crops may not get sick.

② The chemicals may remain in the food.

③ People may get sick after eating crops that have chemicals in them.

④ The chemicals may pollute the environment.

A.②③　 B.①②③　 C.②③④　 D.①②③④

3.Things are often put into food to make it_____ according to the passage.

A. delicious and look good

B. become healthier food

C. much heavier

D. be cooked easily

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. A lot of food that looks good isn’t good.

B. Organic food doesn’t pollute the environment.

C. Some ingredients in drinks may be bad for people’s health.

D. All the food has pollution.

5.What does the writer advise people to do?

You may have heard of the famous saying, “East or west, home is the best.”

What does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is “ different from country to country and from person to person”. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking ,eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it, In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.
