Birds don’t like eating plastic(塑料)。But more seabirds are eating plastic　 waste in the world’s seas and oceans.Why？

Mattew Savoca is the study’s lead author at the University of California,Davis,”Animals usually have a reason for the decision they make,”he said,”if we want to truly understand why animals are eating plastic in the ocean,we have o think about how animals find food”

The study find that plastic waste easily gather algae(聚集海藻)on the water.Together they

give off a smell that is very similar to the Krill(磷虾)that many seabirds feed on.It could explain why certain birds--including albatrosses(信天翁),are nearly six times more likely to eat plastic than other birds.They usually find food by their sense of smell.

There is more plastic pollution in the world every year.A study last year showed that about 8 million tons of plastic enters the oceans every year.It is enough to cover every coastline(海岸线)in the world.

Birds and other sea animals,such as turtles and fish,eat plastic.It can badly hurt the health of the animals.Some birds even mistakenly feed their babies waste instead of food.

Scientists hope this study can raise the alarm about plastics in our oceans and help save the seabirds.

There are seabirds as well as land-birds. The most ordinary seabird is the seagull. It has a white body. a white head, and a yellow beak. There is a spot of red at the very end of the beak. All gulls have very strong wings so that they can fly far out to sea. If a gull flies out too far, and is too tired to fly back to the shore, it does not get frightened, for it can sit and rest upon the waves. A seagull's wings do not get wet because all its feathers have a kind of oil over them, so that when the water gets on to the feathers it just runs off again. Seagulls can even sleep on the waves.

Seamen know a lot about seagulls and they never kill them. When the seagulls fly a long way out to sea, seamen say that it means fine weather is coming. When the seagulls stay near the shore, seamen say that there will be much wind and rain, and perhaps a storm, for the seagulls know more about the weather than seamen do.

1.What is the seagull?

A. A fish.　　 B. A land-bird.

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables, but are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins(维生素) and other nutrients(营养物) that enter our body.

Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw(生的) vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene(番茄红素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”

A number decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.

Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying(油炸) or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.

What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables are cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting some other things will make it taste better — a little salt — can make the food taste better.

1.The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will __________.

A.have the eyes problems B.have heart disease

C.be in need of lycopene D.hate eating tomatoes

2.The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT __________.

A.the place where the vegetables are grown B.the way how the vegetables are stored

C.the way how the vegetables are prepared D.the price at which the vegetables are sold

3.From the last paragraph, we can know __________.

A.it’s better to cook vegetables with the fat

B.the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat

C.it’s better to cook the vegetables without salt

D.the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
