It’s reported that scientists in London have found the best diet for both humans and the planet.
If the world followed the so-called “planetary health”diet,each year more than 11 million early deaths could be avoided according to the scientists.For the health of the planet,they say the same diet will reduce (减少) greenhouse gases and save more land,water and animals.This new food plan is the result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.
Tim Lang,a professor at Britain’s University of London.He said,“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.”Lang added,“The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050.If we want to feed everyone,we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”So,what do you eat on the “planetary health”diet?
The scientists who created the “planetary health”diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts,fruits,and vegetable.
Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about the “planetary health”diet.He said,“More than 800 million people around the world do not get enough food while many more people have very unhealthy diets.”The scientists think it difficult to reach their aim.But for them,doing nothing is also not a choice.Willet said,“If we can’t make the best diet,it’s better to try and get as close as we can.”
12.What decides the health of people and the planet according to Tim Lang?
A.The taste of the food.
B.The number of population.
C.The climate and our living conditions.
D.The food we eat and the way we produce it.
13.What does the “planetary health”diet mainly contain?
k.
B.Meat.
C.Sugar.
D.Plants.
14.What do scientists say about the “planetary health”diet?
A.It is very easy to produce it.
B.It is better to try their best to make it.
C.It is better to do nothing than fail.
D.It is impossible to make it.
15.What is the best title for the text?

第二小节作文
Can Money Buy Happiness?
Different people have different opinions.Some think yes,while others hold the opposite.
It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants,and live a life of comfort and security.However,it is equally true that a lack of money causes great distress.It is a common view that money is the root of all evil.The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal.In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money,resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.
So,money does not necessarily mean happiness.It all depends on how it is used.If we make honest and sensible use of money,it can be a stepping-stone to happiness.Although money cannot buy happiness,it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.。
