Task 1

【答案】

million, 170,000, three, exercise, unhealthy, salt, sugar, vegetables, habits

【原文】

Heart disease kills more than a million people in the world every year. In Britain alone 170,000 die from the disease annually. There are three main reasons for this: smoking, a bad diet, and not taking enough exercise. Many people travel to work by car, bus or train and then sit down at work all day! The food they eat is unhealthy and they eat too much. In a typical British dish of sausages, chips and beans there is too much salt and too much sugar — an important ingredient in tinned food — and there are not enough vegetables. And there is not enough fiber in most meals. There are too many deaths from heart disease. We can reduce that number, but we have to change our habits.

【原文】

The younger members of most American families don’t like foreign food. They like

hamburgers. Their idea of a good meal is a hamburger, served with ketchup and French fried potatoes, which are called French fries. French fries are not considered foreign; most American children and teenagers love to eat them any time of the day or night.

Millions of hamburgers and French fries are eaten every year. Thousands of roadside restaurants prepare and sell them. These are not really restaurants in the usual sense; they often have little space for tables and chairs. Many people buy their hamburgers and take them home to eat, or eat them in their cars.

Sometimes it is not necessary to go inside in order to buy the hamburgers. They are ordered through a window in the restaurant and then are handed out through the window to the waiting customer. Sometimes the customer does not even have to get out of his car.

When an American family travels abroad, this is almost always the custom that the younger members of the family miss most.

【原文】

Mrs. Wong: Have you tried cooking Chinese fried rice?

Mrs. Adams: Yes, I made it last Saturday, just the way you told me to make it.

Mrs. Wong: How did it taste?

Mrs. Adams: Not as good as yours, but we all liked it. All except my teenagers. They don’t like anything but hamburgers.

Mrs. Wong: Oh, hamburgers! My children keep asking for hamburgers. I get so tired of hearing about hamburgers!

Mrs. Adams: I know what you mean. I get tired of making them.

Mrs. Wong: How do you make them? I suppose 1 should learn how.

Mrs. Adams: They’re very simple, compared to your food.

Mrs. Wong: What kind of meat do you buy?

Mrs. Adams: Some kind of ground beef. I usually ask for either ground sirloin or ground round steak. It’s more expensive than ground chuck, but it has less fat.

Mrs. Wong: How much do you buy?

Mrs. Adams: A pound makes four big hamburgers.

Mrs. Wong: What do you mix with the ground beef?

Mrs. Adams: I just add a little salt, some pepper, and sometimes a little chopped onion. Some people don’t like it with onions, but 1 do.

Mrs. Wong: So you mix the salt and pepper and onions with the ground beef.

Mrs. Adams: Yes, and divide the mixture into balls. Then make the balls into patties.

Mrs. Wong: What is a patty?

Mrs. Adams: You just press down on a ball and make it flat. Patties are flattened balls. If you want to get more than four patties out of a pound of meat, just make the patties thinner.
