“I’d like to be at a healthier weight,” a friend told me. “But we just don’t have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn’t enough money to join a gym.” Many people feel that way — that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost. Don’t lose hope! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money.
First you don’t need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “diet foods.” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping, 90% of the food I bought was ingredients. Very few things were preprocessed (预处理的). Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food. That’s a bad thing.
Quick foods like boxed “just add hamburger” meals have had the fiber (纤维) removed to make them faster to prepare. Take a look at the label (标签) on that box. It often has low numbers listed under “fiber” because fiber takes longer to digest. If the low fiber meal is digested, the result is that your body begins to store fat. Besides, your body is short of nutrients (营养物质). You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating.
And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable. If not, the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it. However, these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health.
What’s the answer? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive, low nutrition, processed foods. Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food — and it will cost less, too.
1. People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think _____.
A. they had too much diet food
B. they didn’t make a detailed plan
C. they have no time to do exercise in gym
D. they can’t afford diet food and to exercise in gym
2.The author doesn’t like quick food mainly because _____.
A. it contains too much fat
B. it makes people eat more
C. it has low fiber
D. it takes longer to digest
3.The underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 4 means _____.
A. fresh B. delicious
C. healthy D. poor
4.The author suggests in the text that people should _____.
A. control the amount of food
B. eat more processed foods

Bob told me that he would like to be lawyer when he was at school. He had worked very hard at his lessons and tried to enter into a famous university, but something unhappily happened to his family, that made it necessary for him work for a living. As a young man, he had been a bus-driver, a dust-man or a salesman. But he spent his spare times studying and finally become a college teacher. “Young people,” he often said, “full of wishes and hopes after they step into society.”

Kenyon Scudder once told me a story about his friend, Michael. Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a convict (罪犯) returning home from a prison far away. What he did had brought shame (羞耻) on his family, and they had neither visited him nor written to him. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.
When he was set free he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal (信号) for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had forgiven (原谅) him, they were to put up a white ribbon (丝带) in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn't want him back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.
As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his hand on the young convict’s shoulder. "There it is," he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. "It’s all right. The whole tree is white with ribbons."
1.For which of the following reasons might the young man be worried?
A. His family might not allow him to go home.
B. His family would not remember him.
C. His family hadn’t written to him frequently.
D. His family hadn’t visited him for a long time.
2.According to the passage, the white ribbon in the big apple tree means ________.
A. pleasure B. forgiveness
C. happiness D. education
3.The word "suspense" underlined in the last paragraph can best be replaced by ________.
A. pain B. interest
C. worry D. happiness
4.Why did Michael cry at the end of the story?
A. The young man couldn’t live with his family.
B. There were many white ribbons on the apple tree.
C. He was moved by the young man.
D. The young man was very sad.
