organic food, and we have invited Dr. Scott to our program who is a scientist from Washington State University.

W: Hello, everyone, I'm Mary Scott. I'd like to talk about the organic farming and food that our university studies.

M: What is the latest news of the study？

W: Well, we have found organic farming is not only good for the environment, it can also increase profits for the farmers. The trees grown organically can produce better tasting fruits.

M: Wow, that's very encouraging.

W: Yes. People who have tasted organic apples say they are much sweeter than any other apples produced non-organically.

M: Haha. It must be very interesting to taste the different apples.

W: Yes. Now more and more people believe eating organic food is more helpful than eating food produced with chemicals.

M: Sure. I am willing to pay more for organic food products.

W: Yes, it's believed to be healthier. Organic farmers do not use chemicals to increase their crops or to control insects, weeds and disease.

M: Well, what are the prospects for the organic food？

W: It's one of the fastest growing areas of American agriculture. The number of organic farmer is growing at a rate of about 12% each year.

M: Thank you for the information. This is Bill Wright with Dr. Scott.

W: Thank you.

To: Editors of Eat Right Magazine

As a long-time subscriber to Eat Right Magazine, I have frequently sampled your recipes and must credit you with some excellent results. Your recent April-May issue was, as always, packed with healthy, delicious meals, many of which I have already prepared at home.

Several days ago, however, I attempted to make the apple and celery salad from the recipe on page 57 of the magazine in the Healthy, Quick, and Easy section. While the salad was flavorful, 1 was not satisfied with the recipe for two reasons. First, it should be noted that a salad containing 100ml of mayonnaise, to be divided among eight servings, is not particularly healthy. I was surprised to find a recipe with so much mayonnaise in an Eat Right recipe. Second, while the directions suggested that five minutes' preparation time was sufficient, 1 found the time to be underestimated by quite a bit. Finely slicing so much celery and so many apples was quite time consuming and certainly took longer than five minutes. You might adjust this assessment when you publish this recipe in the future.

I look forward to receiving the next issue of Eat Right Magazine, and I hope that it will contain more of the simple, nutritious recipes that 1 have come to expect.

Sincerely,

Francesca Bertolini

According to the recipe, what should be done first？

A．The apples should be peeled.

B．The mayonnaise, cilantro, and lemon juice should be mixed.

C．The celery should be chopped.

D．The salt and pepper should be measured.

that eating chocolate may reduce the chance of developing heart disease by helping blood vessels remain clear and open.

Chocolate is produced from beans that contain large amounts of natural substances called flavonoids. Flavonoids have been shown to protect the heart and the blood vessels from damage.

Recent studies have linked foods that contain flavonoids with a reduced chance of developing heart disease. These foods include tea, red wine, apples, peanuts and chocolate.

Research has shown that forty grams of milk chocolate contain about four-hundred milligrams of flavonoids. That is about the same amount as in a glass of red wine. The same amount of dark choc-olate contains more than eight-hundred milligrams of flavonoids. That is about the same amount as in a cup of black tea.

A study by researchers at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania found that the flavonoids in chocolate are more powerful than some vitamins in limiting the damage from fats in the blood. A German study recently showed that the flavonoids in chocolate also could stop damage to blood vessel walls. And a University of California study showed that flavonoids from chocolate produce nitric acid in the blood. Nitric acid helps protect the walls of blood vessels.

A study by Cesar Fraga of the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina confirmed healthy activity in the blood after eating dark chocolate. Carl Keen of the University of California at Davis also carried out studies about flavonoids. The studies showed that foods high in flavonoids may help stop thickening of the blood that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Mister Keen gave water, cocoa or non-alcoholic red wine to groups of ten men and women. Researchers tested their blood a few hours later. Both the wine and cocoa delayed the time it took for the blood to become solid. Only the cocoa protected platelets in the blood from becoming too sticky and breaking.

What is the main idea of the passage？

A．Eating chocolate might help you lose weight.

B．Eating chocolate might help you develop heart attacks.

C．Eating chocolate is a bad option for fat people.

D．Eating chocolate may help you prevent heart disease.

will tell you that the family-sedan segment is just brutal, with manufacturers fighting tooth and nail over every sale. In fact, that market has become more competitive in recent years. It used to just be the Camry and the Accord fighting for supremacy, but now you have new(Hyundai)and old(Ford)competitors, among others, joining the fight, with interesting, well-made, compelling products. Its a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan. Compare that with the state of the tablet market today. Hewlett-Packard is in retreat. Research in Motion is in a holding pattern. Motorola has been sold and its tablet is now an afterthought. Samsung fights the good fight, hut it trails Apples market share by 50 percentage points. Apple is not just ahead of the pack, it almost is the pack. Now, some would say that this is also a simple result of economic laws at work: Apple makes a superior product, therefore it gets most of the sales. But what would be really great is that, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and H. P. , locked in an epic battle for tablet supremacy, are each releasing new and better products at a furious pace, and each dropping prices substantially at a steady clip. Apple is driving innovation and creativity with each upgrade of the iPad it releases. But this isnt about whether you prefer Apple or Android for your tablet. This isnt about picking sides. As a consumer, I want there to be robust competition across the board. I want Coke and Pepsi, Target and Wal-Mart, Engadget and Gizmodo. If youre a fan of Apple, you want there to be a worthy rival push it, to keep its feet to the fire. If you dont like Apple, you want someone else in the game so that Apple doesnt suck all the air out of the room. And you want Apple to do the same pushing and foot scorching to its competitor that another company would do to it.

The phrase "fighting tooth and nail"(Para. 1)means that car makers are______.

A．competing fiercely with one another

B．beating one another with their tooth and nail

C．extremely careful about the family-sedan segment

D．paying more attention to their tooth and nail

Hercules

Once upon a time there was a great Greek hero, Hercules. He was taller and stronger than anyone you have ever seen. On his shoulder he carried a club and in his hand he held a bow (弓). He was known as the hero of a hundred adventures.

Hercules served a king. The king was afraid of him. So again and again he sent him on difficult tasks. One morning the king sent for him and told him to fetch three golden apples for him from the garden of the Singing Maidens(歌女). But no one knew where the garden was.

So Hercules went away. He walked the whole day and the next day and the next. He walked for months before he saw mountains far in the distance one fine morning. One of the mountains was in the shape of a man with long, long legs and arms and huge shoulders and a huge head. He was holding up the sky. Hercules knew it was Atlas, the Mountain God. So he asked him for help.

Atlas answered, "My head and arms and shoulders all ache. Could you hold up the sky while I fetch the golden apples for you？"

Hercules climbed the mountain and shouldered the sky. Soon the sky grew very heavy. When finally Atlas came back with three golden apples, he said, "Well, you are going to carry the mountain for ever. I'm going to see the king with the apples.' Hercules knew that he couldn't fight him because of the sky on his back. So he shouted: "Just one minute's help. My shoulders are hurting. Hold the sky for a minute while I make a cushion(垫子) for my shoulders."

Atlas believed him. He threw down the apples and held up the sky.

Hercules picked up the apples and ran back to see the king.

Hercules was the tallest man in the world.

Mind-reading Machine

A team of researchers in California has developed a way to predict what kinds of objects people are looking at by scanning(扫描) what's happening in their brains.

When you look at something, your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons(神经元) are responsible for this processing.

The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging)(功能性磁振造影) brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.

Like cells anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons, and in turn, the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI, scientists can visualize(使…显现) which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood—and therefore, which parts are working to process information.

An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain. The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks, looks at something, or carries out an activity like speaking or reading. By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at different images, fMRI may help scientists determine specific patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images.

The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects, like people, animals, and fruits. The scientists used nn fMRI machine to record the volunteers' brain activity with each photograph they looked at. Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers' brains to light up on the scan, indicating activity. The scientists used this information to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any image the eyes see.

In a second test, the scientists asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures. Like before, their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image. This time, the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image. For example, if a scan in the second test showed the same pattern of brain activity that was strongly related to pictures of apples in the first test, their model would have predicted the volunteers were looking at apples.

What is responsible for processing the information sent by your eyes？

A．The magnetic system in the brain.

B．The central part of the heart.

C．Oxygen-rich blood.

D．Neurons in the brain.
