I read an interesting story last week. One day, a diver is enjoying the sea 20 feet below its surface. He noticed a man at same depth, but without any equipments. The diver went below other 20 feet, and the man joined in him a few minutes later. She went below 20 feet again, and after several minutes, the man following him again. This confused the diver, but he took a blackboard out and wrote, “How on earth are you able to stay this deep with nothing to help you?” The man took the blackboard, rubbed that the diver had written and wrote, “I’m drowned, you fool!”

With the fast pace of modern society, more and more people choose to eat processed foods without exactly knowing the harm. According to the following information, let’s know more about the processed foods.
What’s so bad about processed foods?
Processed foods like chips, soda and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar and fat. 1. Obesity is a condition involving too much body fat. It increases the risk of many health problems.
2.
The researchers says processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives.
Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets are some examples of highly processed foods. But products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt belongs to this kind, too.
What’s wrong with processed foods?
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. 3. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed.
In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.
Why will you eat processed foods?
4. Especially, people have limited time and money. Choosing processed food can save time and it is delicious with some additive things in it.
The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He told the AP that processed foods are usually “softer and easier to chew and swallow”.
5.
A.What do processed foods mean?
B.Avoid processed foods can be hard.
C.It’s no good for you to choose processed foods.
D.What’s the disadvantage of the processed foods?
E.The above reasons can account for the harm of processed food clearly.
F.Scientists have already linked packaged foods to rising obesity rates around the world.
G.They found people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods.
Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the world. This is because greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer.
Now, a team of researchers has announced a successful experiment that turned carbon dioxide into useful liquid fuel. The researchers created a device, called a reactor, which changes bon dioxide into a pure form of formic acid(甲酸). Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants. It is used as an antibacterial material and in the processing of some kinds of clothing.
Haotian Wang led the research team. He said in a statement that the results of the experiment were important because formic acid is a major carrier of energy. So, the substance can provide a way to reuse carbon dioxide and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. “It’s a fuel-cell fuel that can generate electricity and send out carbon dioxide which you can grab and recycle again,” Wang said.
“Other methods for turning carbon dioxide into formic acid require intense purification processes,” Wang said. Such methods are very costly and require a lot of energy. The Rice University team said it was able to reduce the number of steps in the traditional process to create a low-cost, energy-saving method.
The researchers reported the reactor device performed with a conversion rate (转化率) of 42 percent. This means that nearly half of the electrical energy can be stored in formic acid as liquid fuel. The team said the reactor was able to create formic acid continuously for 100 hours with little degradation (退化) of the device’s parts.
Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based fuels. The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places.
1.What factor is the main cause of climate change?
A.Greenhouse gases. B.Chemistry waste.
C.Formic acid. D.Liquid fuel.
2.What do we know about formic acid?
A.It is a large amount of power. B.It can be found in ants.
C.It is high- value equipment. D.It is a substance in clothing.
3.What is Wang’s attitude towards his own research?
A.Doubtful. B.Aggressive.
C.Optimistic. D.Uncaring.
4.In what magazine can you read this text?
A.A travel magazine. B.A sports magazine.
C.A music magazine. D.A science magazine.
