8、nd the world is bad for human health and the environment.These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.David Tilman,a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota,America,examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how a diet affected health.He noted

9、a movement beginning in the 1960s.He found that as nations industrialized（工业化）,population increased and earnings rose,more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. D

10、avid Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes（糖尿病）and heart disease.Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is

11、an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad fo

12、r the environment. As the worlds population grows, more forests and tropical（热带的）areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.Mr. Tilman calls the

13、 link between the diet, the environment and human health, “a trilemma ”a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.BHave you ever seen a talking parrot on TV or in someones home? Parrots have learned to copy the sounds that people make. But

14、 birds are not the only animals that can copy the sounds they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes can also copy sounds. Now researches have found that elephants can also copy the sounds around them.Dr. Thane is a zoologist. She has many researches in the sounds of elephants. When she was in Ohio, sh

15、e often heard some strange noises made by Malika after sunset. Malika was a 10-year-old African elephant.Malika lived near a highway. Dr. Thane says, “I could not tell the difference between Malikas call and the distant trucks noise.” She and other scientists studied Malikas sounds. It turned out th

16、at Malika was copying the sounds of the trucks going by. Why would Malika copy trucks which she heard going by on the highway? After copying the new sounds, animals may enjoy practicing them. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an el

17、ephant can copy the sound of trucks.“Malika was not the only elephant that can copy other sounds,” Dr. Thane says. Camero is a 24-year-old male African elephant. He spent 15 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants can make chirping sounds （sounds made by birds） to talk with one anothe

18、r. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Camero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Thane says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, “They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they are separated, they use sound

19、s to keep in contact.”The finding that the parrot, dolphins, humans, and elephants can learn to copy other sounds shows that copying is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.CAt first glance, Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I voluntee

20、red as the Reading Mom. However, he arrived at school dirty every morning, and along with his outward appearance, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways, too. His home was a mess and his parents never settled in one place. He had yet to live a full year in any one place.Every time when

21、it was Ronnys turn to read, he would sit close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled to sound out “Bud the Sub.”It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech impediment and his difficulty with the alphabet.The year passed quickly and Ro

22、nny had made some progress but hardly enough to bring him up to grade level. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award ceremony. It took me a while to figure out where Ronny fit; I needed something positive, but there wasnt really much. I finally decided on “Most Improved Reader.”I p

23、resented Ronny with his certificate and a book.A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I saw Ronny read the book. His teacher appeared beside me.“He hasnt put that book down since you gave it to him. Its the first book hes ever actually owned.”Fighting back tears, I approached Ronny and

24、 asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny?”He glanced up and nodded.And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me with more expression, clarity, and ease than Id ever thought possible for him. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “Good book.”At that

25、moment, I knew I would get serious about my own writing career and do what that author had done, and probably still doescare enough to write a story that changes a childs life, care enough to make a difference.I want to be that author.DHillsborough Middle School in New Jersey banned energy drinks fr

26、om the campus at the start of the summer. Joe Trybulski, headmaster of the school, said that the decision wasnt a difficult one.“Using drinks containing caffeine can do harm to your learning,” he said.Energy drinks like Red Bull and Spike Shooter are popular with kids, even kids as young as 10 or 12

27、 because theyre super-sweet and they give you a lift. Theyre advertised by sports starsfrom famous football and basketball players to well-known names in extreme sports like snowboarding or skateboarding.The energy drink industry denies that they sell directly to children. They claim that $2-$4 cost

28、 per can makes energy drinks too expensive for kids, and theyre aimed at adults. Not only that, they say, most energy drinks have less caffeine than coffee.“Are you going to start carding kids at coffee houses and candy shops?” asked one manager.“We cant imagine why a school would ban Red Bull from

29、campus,” says another, a spokeswoman for Red Bull.To make a comparison, a cup of coffee contains about 95 milligrams（毫克） of caffeine. An 8.3 ounce can of Red Bull contains 75 milligrams, more than twice the amount of caffeine in a 12 ounce can of Coca Cola.Its interesting to note that not that long

30、ago, coffee was considered strictly an adult drink. Times have changed, and now researchers say that theres no clear proof that energy drinks and caffeine harm children, but its certain that caffeine tends to affect children more than adults. Too much caffeine is a far smaller amount for a 110 pound

31、 12 year old boy than it is for a 175 pound adult man. And children, say health experts, get into a harmful cycle with energy drinks when they drink them in the morning to wake up after having trouble falling asleep the night before.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for writing the college essayWhile some high school seniors begin to enjoy writing their college e
