Even though we have more choice of what to eat than forty years ago, the average diet of the average Briton(英国人) is less healthy. In fact, according to recent research, British pets, eating specially prepared tinned(罐装的) food, have a healthier diet than most of their owners.

Health ministers were alarmed at recent figures which show that Britain has the third worst record in Europe for heart disease. Cancer is also a growing cause of illness and death. This has led the government to try to launch a campaign to encourage healthier eating habits. Health ministers believe we should take a lesson from America, where death rates from heart disease have fallen. The American public is now much more aware of the link between diet and good health. The campaign will encourage the eating of less animal fat, salt and sugar than are consumed at present. It will show the advantages of eating more fresh fruit and vegetables.

The Health Department is going to issue a booklet(小册子) which will give guidance on what food to eat and what to avoid.

Discussions are being held between the government and food manufacturers. Following these talks, food will be labeled so that consumers can clearly see how much fat, sugar and salt there is in the food products they buy.

1. Which of the following statement is TRUE?

A. British people have more choice of food but don’t eat as well as they did 40 years ago.

D. Things hardly change as far as what the British people eat is concerned.

2. What made health ministers realize that they must encourage healthier diet?

A. The great number of people suffering from heart disease and cancer.

B. The discussions between the government and food manufacturers.

C. The polluted environment.

D. The public’s awareness of health problems.

The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owes me £12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”

“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”

“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”

Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return to Jersey costs----let me see----£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel bill, you will owe £1.50.The law is the law, but since we have made a mistake-----”

The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.
