Passage One How much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some
wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?
Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.
Statement 2:When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.
Statement 3:Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed that
extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.
If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.
16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.
A. are well informed about nutrition
B. don’t care about nutrition
C. have much knowledge of nutrition
D. have incorrect ideas about nutrition
17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?
A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.
B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.
C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.
D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.
18.Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?
A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.
B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.
C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.
Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.
Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.
Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy,
time-consuming housework.
Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so
women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.
21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?
A. Handling various housework at home.
B. Taking care of children indoors.
C. Farming and trading out of house.
D. Working as well as maintaining families.
22.“self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.
A. making great wealth
B. depending on oneself
C. caring for one’s own
D. being a reliable person
23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?
A. Beautiful and charming.
B. Skillful at sewing or baking.
C. Depending totally on husbands.
D. Working hard to earn incomes.
24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.
A. how traditional extended families operate
B. why women in Ghana have more burdens now
C. how changes in life help the working women
D. the new life style of Ghana’s people
the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.
Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.
26.After the Civil War, the Black people _________.
A. were mostly slaves
B. still led a hard life

D. worked on their own farms
27.At the very beginning, the blues were _________.
A. not performed on formal occasions
B. traditional songs of the Black people
C. about the life of travelling musicians
D. very popular throughout the nation
28.What kind of emotion does the blues express?
A. Sadness
B. Happiness
C. Joking
D. All of the above
29.How did “improvisation” come into being?
A. The blues singers gathered to have contests.
B. New words were added into old songs.
C. New styles were played with guitars.
D. The blues singers created music while playing.
30.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The blues were born in the country in the South.
B. The blues soon disappeared in big cities.

D. The most well-known blues song is “The St. Louis Blues”.
reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.
If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes.
