Cold Truths

Is there any truth behind the saying “You are what you eat”? We put this to the test by asking three people to open their fridge doors and talk about their lifestyles.1.Maybe you can recognize your own fridge here!

“You might find bean products in our fridge, but hamburgers? Never!”—Amy, Teacher

2. This means we don't eat meat, and any milk or cheese had better be dairy-free. We like cooking at home and make our meals from fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables. If we have children, I want to bring them up just like us, but my husband says that everyone should be able to make their own lifestyle choices.

“3.”—Mike, Chef

With five children, we're one big family! My wife and I both work full-time, so life can get pretty busy! Like a lot of chefs I know, I don't really do much cooking at home. Sometimes I bring home food from the restaurant where I work. Once a week we do a big shop and buy a lot of frozen food. I know we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables...4.

“There isn't really much in my fridge. I'm too busy and tired to cook at home!”—Ted, Doctor

There's not enough room to swing a cat in my small apartment, so I don't cook very often. My fridge is usually half empty and I'm often too tired to eat much anyway.5.. As a doctor, I know I had better change the way I eat, but I just don't have the time or the energy right now.

A.My husband and I avoid all animal products.

B.Can you guess which fridge belongs to which person?

C.But ready meals are so convenient for full-time workers.

D.The food in our fridge comes from my workplace and shops.

E.My fridge is a total mess for all I do is party and hit the books.

F.I still don't think that anything can beat my mum's T-bone steaks.

G.Some evenings I'll have something quick like toast or even just a yogurt.

Honesty is a valuable characteristic in a world full of false promises. Today, we re exploring five qualities of honest individuals.

They’re not concerned about popularity contests. 1.Instead, they simply are who they are and other people can take it or leave it. They stand up for their beliefs. Honest people don’t go looking for fights, but they also aren’t afraid to speak their mind. 2.While this may annoy managers concerned with bureaucracy( 官僚主义), most people will respect honesty and be impressed with those willing to stand out against the group mind.

3.Honesty requires thick skin. Not all people love hearing the truth, and when you give out a fresh dose of reality, some might be likely to throw it right back in your face. Honest individuals may fall victim to the insecure defensiveness of others, requiring them to be thick-skinned.

They have close friendships. Individuals who are honest often have rich, meaningful friendships. Others know that their honest friend won’t complain about them behind their back, and will instead face any issues head on. 4.

They are trusted by peers (同龄人). Individuals　 will seek the aid of honest peers, knowing they can count on them for true, objective advice. However, others will just lie and tell you the story you want to hear. 5.But there are many times that the difficult truth is what individuals really need to hear. Others trust honest individuals to tell them what it really is, without covering the truth.

A.They do this to avoid any injured feelings.

B.They never try to fight managers’ decisions.

C.The number of friends they have doesn’t matter.

D.They are seldom upset or hurt by unpleasantness.

E.This level of trust allows for deeper, healthier relationships.

F.They will state their opinions even when they are against the majority.

G.Honest people don’t think about what others think of them all the time.

Nowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.

If you’re the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If I’m painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, I’d have my husband say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point out what a careless painter I am.

If you’re on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you’re doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. It diffuses a potentially explosive situation. It’s important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?

In any event, one should remember the saying, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning(指责) and you will not be condemned.” One can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be “OK”.

1.According to the author, today’s people_____.

A.ignore the mistakes of others

B.focus on how to handle mistakes

C.like to point out the mistakes of others

D.have a moral duty to point out others’ faults

2.Which of the following best explains “diffuses” underlined in Paragraph 3?

A.spreads B.improves

C.reduces D.conveys

3.Which would be the best title for this passage?

A.Is criticism really necessary?

B.What can you learn from criticism?

C.What’s the best way to voice criticism?

D.How to criticize and reply to criticism?

People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw(生的) or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more？Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),”said Michael Zey，a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate（保守的估计）.”

At the conference in San Francisco，Donald Louria,a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology（纳米技术）make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”

However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live." It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life？" said Leonard Poon，director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre." At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."

1.By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”, what does Michael Zey mean?

A.they believe that there is no limit of living

B.they are sure to find the truth about long living

C.they have got some ideas about living forever

D.they are able to make people live past the present life span

2.What is Donald Louria's attitude towards long living ?

A.people can live from 120 to 180 years

B.it is still doubtful how long humans can live

C.the human body is designed to last past about 120 years

D.it is possible for humans to live longer in the future

3.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refers to?

A.a great push B.the idea of living from 200 to 300 years

C.the idea of living beyond the present life span D.the conservative estimate

4.What would be the best title for this text？

A.Living Longer or Not B.Science，Technology and Long Living

C.Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living D.No Limit for Human Life
