Here are five cooking habits that could be costing you important nutrients, causing you to overeat——or even making you sick.
Boiling vegetables
A 2015 review showed that boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin C. 1. "If you're not drinking a soup, you're missing out on nutrients," says Nishta Saxena, a dietitian based in Toronto .
Washing chicken
While your favourite old cookbooks likely tell you to wash a chicken before cooking, this outdated advice is a safety risk. Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria, but it's also likely to pass it around your kitchen. 2. And clean your hands after you've finished the cooking.
Removing skins from fruits and vegetables
"Large amounts of nutrients are found in the skins." says Liz Powell, who is a dietitian from Vancouver. " Concern about chemical remains isn't a good enough reason to do the removing. 3."
Mixing everything
A smoothie (a mixed drink) is a smart way to eat some greens. 4. They're often short of protein and healthy fat. These things work together to keep us feeling full and satisfied. Without them, it's not really a balanced meal, Powell suggests adding some foods which contain protein or having a piece of wholewheat(全麦的)bread on the side.
Overdressing salads
We think we can add anything to salads, and they'll still be a nutritious choice. But it's just not true. If you're topping your bowl with dried strawberries and sweet cheese, you've easily added 30 grams of sugar to your so-called healthy lunch. 5.
A. You should choose healthy produce for your family.
B. But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced.
C. To stay safe, don't wash the meat when preparing it.
D. Cabbage. for example, loses about 33 % of its vitamin C.
E. Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens.
F. The skins of potatoes contain more nutrients than its inside part.
G. Washing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface.

Healthy habits that stick
Here are five rules that helped me develop good habits.
1. Pick habits you honestly want to have
I didn’t choose habits I thought I should add because of what anyone else was doing. 1. It was about listening to myself.
2. Build your habit your own way
When I started to build up an exercise routine(习惯), I only went when I wanted to go. For me, that was around 2 pm every day. 2. If I wanted to do 20 minutes on the bike, I’d do only 20 minutes and then leave.
3. Start small
I knew that if I tried to take on too much, I’d find a way to make an excuse. 3. I started with two minutes of exercise, which were finally built up to 10, then 20 minutes. I realized that just doing something, no matter how small, meant I was more likely to do it again the next day.
4. Be kind to yourself
4. When I got a cold and missed several days of exercise, I didn’t beat myself up. Instead of punishing myself, I tried to love myself --- and that had a more enjoyable and lasting effect.
5. Celebrate every small victory
When I began keeping a diary every morning, I put a number in the corner of each page to show how many diaries I had written. 5. Finally, after I filled up a notebook, I celebrated buying a new notebook.
A. If I missed a day, I let it go.
B. I can make exercise less boring.
C. So my daily purposes were very small.
D. I celebrated my pen running out of ink.
E. It wasn’t about keeping up with other people.
F. I should celebrate my success with my friends.
G. It also meant that I would do whatever I wanted to do once I got there.

When you buy cooking oil in the supermarket, you may notice that some brands are labeled as “GM (genetically modified)-free”. So, what is genetic modification? Are GM foods safe?
These questions have been put back into the spotlight recently. On Nov 19, the Food and Drug Administrati0n (FDA) in the US announced that it had approved the AquAdvantage salmon to go on the market, making it the first genetically modified animal to be approved as food anywhere in the world.
GM foods are plants or animals that have been given a gene from another plant or animal to make them stronger in some way. The AquAdvantage salmon contains a gene from another type of salmon that makes it grow faster.
Although the FDA has said “food from the fish is safe to eat”, some believe that scientists can’t completely understand the potential health risks of GM foods, simply because they’re so new. Others worry that the fish could escape into the wild and cause ecological problems.
GM crops have experienced the same controversy, even though GM technology cuts down on the use of pesticides on crops and increases yields.
While GM animals are new, GM crops have already appeared on our plates: A total of 28 countries in the world including the US, Brazil and India planted 181.5 million hectares (1.815 million km2) of GM crops in 2014, according to the International Service for tile Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications. In China, we grow GM cotton and papaya and import GM soybeans, corn, rape, cotton and beets from abroad.
Due to safety worries, many countries have regulations for producing and selling GM food.
In European Union countries, each GM food must be approved before it can be used. This process can take up to 17 months. The origin of all GM foods must also be traceable, and all food with a GM content of more than 0.9 percent must also be labeled, according to EU website europa.eu.
The US is less strict about GM foods. According to FDA regulations, companies introducing new GM foods to the market should report them at least 120 days before release. The labeling is voluntary, except that a product cannot be labeled as “GM-free” if genetically modified materials are used.
In China, GM foods can only be produced after strict tests by the Ministry of Agriculture say that they are safe. All food that is made from GM crops or contains GM ingredients must be clearly labeled on the wrapper.

B. In the US, the AquAdvantage salmon will have to be labeled as GM food.
C. In France or Germany, every GM food that is about to go on the market must be reported at least 120 days before release.
D. In China, all food that is made from GM crops or contains GM ingredients must be clearly labeled on the package.

Next time you go shopping, keep in mind that there may be hidden cameras analyzing your habits. According to a 2015 survey of 150 managers from Computer Services Corporation, a quarter of British shops use facial recognition software to collect data on shopper behavior.
With concerns that face-recognition cameras“ are kind of invasive(冒犯的)”, British analysis firm Hoxton Analytics has come up with a new way of measuring footfall (客流)—by filming people's shoes. The technology can collect a large amount of personal information. "We have cameras at 50 cm off the ground and they point down so they are less invasive than facial recognition," Duncan Mann, Hoxton's officer said.
As modern cities get fuller—70 percent of the population will live in urban areas by 2050—cameras and other technologies are taking over public spaces and collecting our data. Their purpose is to keep people safe, provide efficient services and prevent disasters and crimes.
But some are not happy with the cameras as far as their privacy(隐私) is concerned. "Very few of us have any real concept of what data smart cities are gathering," said Renate
Samson.
We begin giving away data as soon as we wake up. When we enter the transport system, we are giving away even more details about ourselves through smart cards, mobile phones or credit cards.
Nick Millman, director at a consulting firm thinks statistics are the key to the privacy concern. He used the example of Google Maps, which is to monitor the flow of traffic in Stockholm. He explained, "It is basically adding privacy controls to statistics so that you only see the data you need to know about". In this case, Google gets enough data to improve traffic but not so much that it shows individual journey patterns.
1.What is the article mainly about?
A. An introduction to collecting shoppers' data.
B. The concerns about giving away personal data.
C. The problems caused by imbalanced distribution of population.
D. An invention recording and collecting customers' information.
2.The new technology invented by Hoxton Analytics_______.
A. can gather a lot of people's personal data from their shoes
B. uses cameras fitted on the ground to collect customers' data
C. has improved the accuracy of facial recognition software
D. offers a perfect solution to customers' privacy concerns
3.According to the author, cameras in modern cities_______.
A. cause a huge waste of public space
B. help reduce the size of population in urban areas
C. are likely to help improve traffic conditions
D. are to avoid crimes and disasters and provide efficient services
4.What is Renate Samson's attitude toward the rise of smart cities?
A. Worried.
B. Optimistic.
C. Confused.
D. Uninterested.
