Consider the tomato: easy to grow, healthy to eat, tasty in just about any dish and pleasant to look at. And come late summer, in steady supply. Though you can find it during the coldest winter months,

August is the tomato's season to shine. Farmers' markets and stores are bursting with less known but tastier varieties, including purple cherries and big heirlooms.

"Heirlooms ripened on the vine(藤) are the tastiest of all tomatoes," says Amy Goldman Fowler, author of The Heirloom Tomato. "I think their beauty is more than skin-deep." Heirloom seeds have been around for at least 50 years, often passed down from generation to generation. You may hear cherry or heirloom used to describe a tomato at hand, but there are many different kinds of tomatoes, and growers have fun giving fancy names to varieties: Mortgage Lifters, Beefsteaks, Oxhearts, Early Girls.

And all of them come with health benefits. Tomatoes are a good source of the antioxidant lycopene (抗氧化番茄红素), which is thought to help lower a person's risk for heart problems and cancer. Tomatoes also contain healthy vitamins A and C. For the best fruit, choose tomatoes with shiny, firm skin and a little give, and store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Keep them out of the fridge, since cold temperatures can affect the original taste.

"They satisfy something more than just taste," says Fowler. "Tomatoes feed your soul."

1.In which season do tomatoes sell best?

A. Spring. B. Summer.

C. Autumn. D. Winter.

2.What can you learn from the passage?

A. Tomatoes are the tastiest vegetables.

B. Direct sunlight helps to store tomatoes.

C. Tomatoes go bad more quickly in the fridge.

D. Heirlooms are tastier than the other tomatoes.

3.Why do tomatoes benefit people?

A. They can produce most antioxidant lycopene. B. They may prevent some diseases.

C. They can be used as medicine. D. They may make people's skin shiny.

4.What does Amy Goldman Fowler think of tomatoes?

A. They will survive in cold winter months. B. They are less known than other foods.

C. They taste best but look ugly. D. They also make us pleasant.

Eating healthy isn’t always easy, but committing to a healthy diet can be the smartest decision you ever make. Why? Not only can eating well make you look and feel better, it can also save you money. 1.

Productivity can be increased. Like a car, your brain needs quality fuel to run efficiently. As one will experience increased focus shortly after improving their diet with nutritious foods and supplements, a higher working productivity is usually the outcome.

It benefits finance. If your employer provides health coverage discounts, count your blessings! You can save a considerable amount of money through them. 2. By simply switching to a healthier diet and dropping a few pounds before you apply could significantly lower your costs.

3. What you eat has an impact on your brain, including the parts that regulate mood. Maintaining stable blood sugar through regular, proper nutrition will help you feel better overall on most days. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals, seeds and fresh vegetables for instance, are associated with a lower risk of depression, as are foods rich in omega-3 fats.

You can control your weight better. More than half of the Americans are overweight or obese, and obesity contributes to 1 in 5 American deaths. Simple healthy choices such as replacing soda with water, choosing vegetables instead of chips, and ordering a side salad in place of French fries will not only help you lose weight, it also can help you save money. 4.

A relatively longer life is expected. The same diseases that make you feel bad and cost a lot of money may also decrease your life expectancy. Many studies show a healthier diet relatively leads to a longer life.

Your body is your temple and you are housed in it, so treat it nicely to whole nutrient foods that are good for it. 5.

A.A better mood is made possible.

B.It will prevent you from getting sick.

C.In return your body will serve you better.

D.There is no reason not to eat a healthy diet.
