Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many peoples diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
51. A good title for this reading passage is______.
A. Popeye the Sailor
B. The Truth About Spinach D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong

B. They thought Popeye was funny.
C. Spinach had a lot of iron.
D. People liked folic acid.
53. A research group told people that spinach______.
A. made Popeye strong
B. was a green vegetable
C. had less iron than other green vegetables
D. had more iron than other green vegetables
54. The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.
A. iron
B. folic acid
C. spinach
D. exercise 55. Folic acid is ______.
A. something in food
C. dangerous B. a vegetable
D. a certain kind of spinach
C
Body and Food
Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think.

Dear Paul,
Recently my family are planning to improve our housing conditions. We have different ideas about whether we should buy an old-style house in the suburbs or a flat in the downtown. Some suggest we buy a modern flat because its big and bright, and its conveniently located close to shops and schools.
However, the others are in favor of the old-style house. They consider the air is fresh and its peaceful to live in the suburbs. The most important thing is that neighbours have more chances to communicate with each other to make a harmonious living atmosphere.
What’s your opinion?
Sincerely yours,
Xiao Ming。
