    When you’re shopping at the grocery store, you probably expect that the olive oil you see came from,well, olives. And that the organic vegetables were never exposed to poisonous chemicals. Increasingly, however, there’s a chance you might be ______. In recent years, there has been a rise in reports of so-called food fraud, or attempts by various entities — including storage workers, suppliers and distributors — to alter products and mislead customers and food companies alike for ______ gain. Among the more recent examples: “natural” honey containing antibiotics and Italian companies selling “Italian olive oil” from a blend of oils that did not ______ from Italy.

By and large, the fraudsters are trying to make easy money — ______ for a whole food or pricey ingredient, then cutting it with ______ stuff secretly. But the health consequences can be ______.

How can this happen? In the U.S., the Pure Food and Drug Act has prevented the “manufacture, sale or transportation of misbranded or poisonous foods” since 1906, and similar laws exist in other countries.

But most global food regulators, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, aren’t ______ to enforce them effectively. For the most part, they focus on safety standards — ______ that foods don’t contain bacteria or viruses — and rely on companies to police their own ingredients, lest they face ______ backlash(强烈抵制). But now that food manufacturing has become globalized, supply chains are longer, creating more opportunities for bad actors to ______. Anyone who can ______ substituting cheap ingredients for more expensive ones is going to try.

Governments are starting to fight back. In 2014, the U.K. created a food-crime unit that collects reports of food fraud. But in order to prevent fraud in the first place, the food industry needs to ______ the safeguarding of its own production network. So the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) — a trade group including officials from more than 300 food manufactures — will this year start ______ its members’ supply chains, from field to table, to identify vulnerabilities.

______, dozens of other food-industry experts recently teamed up with academics from Michigan State University to launch the Food Fraud Initiative FFI, a group that studies fraudsters — specifically, how they avoid safeguards — and then advises food companies on how to get rid of them. “There are plenty of criminals out there who are going to wake up and perceive some opportunity for fraud,” says John Spink, director of the FFI. “We just need to make ourselves a(n) ______ target.”

Square dancing has been more and more popular with the elderly as their living condition improve. Most people think it can help people take regularly exercise and strengthen their fitness. Besides, it provides people more chances to take outdoor activities. However, some people argue that the music is very noisy, that disturbs the surrounding citizens' normal life. Also, be exposed to such loud noise may do a harm to their health in the long run.
