I eager to go to college because I know there is so many to learn about the world and about
human beings. Knowledge is a source of pleasure for me. I want to study at a college for the fun to
knowledge. I know the college education can prepare me better for my future. Better education
meant, in my opinion, better jobs, better opportunity and better choices. I want to go to college
because I know that my parents and other people care for me will be happily with that. Unless I
can study at a nice university, I will make them happier. I’d hate to let you down. That’s why I
must go to college.

Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations, They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 1.
The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 2. So they are called “disease of civilization”. Many cancers and disease of blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3. However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4. We eat six times more salt than our ancestors(祖先). We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
5. But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.
These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did.
Ancient people also lived in large groups.
But today, we eat a lot of these.
Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise.
In that case, they would live much healthier.
People today probably live the same life as people thousands of years ago did.
“Old wives tales” are beliefs lasting for many generations. For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time.
Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds.
Unfortunately, not all of Mom’ s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes. However, sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars.
Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the test?
A.Eating garlic is good for our eyes. |
B.Sticky sweets are damaging our teeth. |

2. The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means”_____”.
A.to be believable |
B.to be valuable |
C.to be admirable |
D.to be suitable |
3.What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives tales” in the text?
A.Subjective |

C.Dissatisfied |
D.Curious |
