“Drink your milk. It’s good for you!” You’ve probably heard that many times, and it’s true. Milk contains calcium（钙）, which is necessary for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The US government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat - free or low - fat milk every meal.
However, a group of doctors asked the government to take it away from the lunch program. The US ‘Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM责任医疗医师委员会) says, “Milk is high in sugar, fat and animal protein,” all of which have negative effects on health. The PCRM says there are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans, broccoli, cereals and tofu. Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient. “One of the only reasons people prefer milk is because it is going to help build strong bones,” says Dr Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. But milk may not be the best way to get calcium your body needs.
Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but there are other things that affect your bone strength, such as genes, how much vitamin D you take in, and getting an hour’s worth of exercise every day.
Some people disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans, an American Dietitian, says “I don’t think it’s irresponsible to take this beverage that children enjoy it very much, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day, and remove it from the lunch line.”
The U.S government is now considering the request of the PCRM, but a decision may be a long way off. Meanwhile, Marion Nestle, a professor puts it best: “Milk certainly has nutrients. Other food has the same nutrients. It’s just food. As with other food, too much might be a problem.”
64．The U.S. government requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program .
A．as a result of the request of the PCRM
B．because milk is the best way to get calcium
C．as drinking milk is good for bones and teeth
D．because milk is known to be fat-free or low-fat
65．The PCRM proposed that milk be removed from the lunch program because .
A．American children are taking in too much calcium and suffering it
B．drinking milk is not the best way to get the calcium your body needs
C．drinking milk has more negative effects than positive ones on health
D．new researches prove that milk is not high in calcium as beans or tofu
66．The underlined word “beverage” in the 4th paragraph probably means “ ”.
A．food B．game C．plan D．drink
67．According to the author, .
A．milk should be removed from the lunch program
B．it is irresponsible to take milk out of the lunch line
C．it is up to the children to decide what to do with the milk
D．it will take a long time for the government to makes a final decision
