Fast-food chains including Burger King and Starbucks have brought in plant-based meat products to China in an effort to promote healthy eating and protect the environment.Readers share their opinions.

Linda(China)
I just don’t get it.If you want something that tastes like meat,you’d better eat meat.Plant-based meat is highly processed.It is not as healthy as vegetables.It contains amounts of unhealthy fat,salt and artificial additives.Regular exercise,along with a well-balanced diet,is the best way to stay healthy.
Terryfoy(the UK)
The human body was not designed for us only to eat vegetables.We are designed to eat meat.The protein that our body must have to survive comes from the meat we eat.The body functions properly with the correct balance between meat and vegetables.Too much meat and we get fat;too little meat and we get skinny and weak.If you want to be healthy,you must eat a balanced diet of both meat and vegetables.
Taikor(Malaysia)
Start with a huge cutdown on meat.Regarding pigs,do you know they could outsmart you on PlayStation games?Don’t be surprised.They’re much smarter than dogs.So they are better at video games than some primates(灵长目动物).Pigs are extremely clever animals.They’re gentle,defenseless creatures.Start doing it now.It’s time we made a change.
Sockmonkey(Singapore)

That youngsters were glued to online games on their smartphones was a great concern for Ngurang Meena,a school teacher in Nirjuli.The 30-year-old social science teacher,who ran the Ngurang Learning Institute,an adult literacy centre,said that she felt disheartened when she read students’ papers.“The graph of student performance is falling every year.It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets—basic grammar skills are missing and there’s an absence of any cohesive(连贯的) expression.They lack guidance and their reading culture is almost zero,” Meena said.When her school and the centre she ran had to close due to infectious diseases,she planned to do something to address the problem.
Inspired by a similar proposal in Mizoram,Meena set up a bookshelf with around 80 books as well as some benches on the side of the road in Nirjuli on August 30th,2020,where passers-by could spend time reading.The selections included motivational books,biographies and novels as well as comics for young children.“I have to please the minors with sweets to sit and read,but that is okay,” she laughed.
Meena’s bookshelf became a hit among youngsters who spent hours in the reading corner.Within two months,her effort became the talk of the town.
Now,generous contributions of books come in from the public and she is even receiving requests to set up such libraries in other parts of the state,including one in the capital,Itanagar.Since the tiny libraries are far from the main town,she also lends books out to those who want to read at home.
“I never thought that this would become such a big inspiration,” Meena said.“Since childhood,we have been told that books are our best friends.The next generation of kids is focused on games and other things.I don’t want them to head on the wrong track,” she added.
4.What’s the aim of Meena’s reading program?
A.To care for youngsters lacking in reading.
B.To help adults learn some cohesive expression.
C.To keep Ngurang Learning Institute running well.
D.To highlight the importance of reading for adults.
5.What did Meena do to encourage young kids to read more?
A.She offered some rewards to them.
B.She provided them with transportation.
C.She chose novels with beautiful covers.
D.She selected books covering every category.
6.Which of the following can best describe Meena’s libraries?
A.Small and useless.
B.Influential and meaningful.
C.Large but impractical.
D.Widespread but unwelcome.
7.What is the best title for the text?
A.Books:Sources of Knowledge
B.The Roadside Reading Corner
C.The Library:an Ideal place for the Young
D.New Ideas About Setting a Reading Plan

Eating chocolate at least once a week could put off a heart attack,according to new research.Chocolate is packed with plant chemicals that weaken inflammation(炎症) and help blood flow,explained scientists.
Lead author Dr.Chayakrit Krittanawong said,“Our study suggests chocolate helps keep the heart’s blood vessels healthy.” It collected data from six trials that examined the link over the past five decades.A total of 336,289 people reported their intake.Those who ate chocolate more than once a week reduced their risk of coronary artery(冠状动脉) disease by eight percent.This was compared to peers who ate it less than once a week.
Chocolate is known to produce the same chemical in the brain as falling in love.But evidence is growing that its reputation as a “guilty pleasure” is wrong.Dr.Krittanawong said,“Chocolate contains heart healthy nutrients such as flavonoids,methylxanthines,polyphenols and stearic acid which may reduce inflammation.
Known medically as HDL(high-density lipoprotein)(高密度脂蛋白),it helps to rid LDL(low-density lipoprotein) out of the body.When this collects,it causes vessels and arteries to become blocked up.It can stop blood flow to the heart or brain,causing a heart attack or stroke.Dr.Krittanawong said,“In the past,clinical studies have shown chocolate is beneficial for blood pressure.”
Dark chocolate has long been known to have health benefits but recent research has suggested milk chocolate may also provide valuable nutrients to the heart.Dr.Krittanawong pointed out his study did not investigate whether any particular type of chocolate is more beneficial—or if there is an ideal portion size.He said,“Chocolate appears promising for the prevention of coronary artery disease.But more research is needed to show how much and what kind of chocolate could be recommended.”
While it’s not clear how much is perfect,Dr.Krittanawong warned people against overeating.He said,“Moderate amounts of chocolate seem to protect coronary arteries but it’s likely that large quantities do not.”
8.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The result of the study.
B.The process of the study.
C.The participants of the study.
D.The intention of the study.
9.Which of the following can probably prevent blood flow?
A.A heart attack.
B.A stroke.
C.High-density lipoprotein.
D.Low-density lipoprotein.
10.What does the recent study tell us?
A.Chocolate is good for blood pressure.
B.Dark chocolate is beneficial for health.
C.Milk chocolate may also benefit the heart.
D.Chocolate contains special plant chemicals.
11.What’s Dr.Krittanawong’s attitude toward chocolate’s preventing coronary artery disease?
A.Indifferent. B.Hopeful.
C.Negative. D.Uncertain.
D
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level,we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families,holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale,traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go,and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes.However,the food does not remain exactly the same.Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available,so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally,immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them,but to people from different countries.Therefore,they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage(遗产) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs,and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture,and it should be treated as such.
12.What’s the function of food mentioned in the article?
A.To help motivate homesickness.
B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history.
D.To show a community’s superiority.
13.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The specific traditional food.
B.The national culture.
C.A traditional expression of food.
D.The old-fashioned taste.
14.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To make the dishes popular among customers.
D.To present their own food culture in a new way.
15.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A.Negative. B.Balanced.

C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are people less or more happy when they get older?A study in 2021 found that people generally became happier and experienced less worry after the age of 50.In fact,it found that by the age of 85,people were happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.　16　 
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70’s.But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70’s and 80’s.The survey also found that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grew older.　17　 
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
　18　 One theory is that,as people get older,they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. 
　19　In another study,people in their 80’s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.　20　 But except for that,people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older. 
A.So why will happiness increase with age?
B.Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults.
C.At that time,the people were between the age of 18 and 25.
D.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50’s.
E.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
F.The survey did find an increase during middle age,especially in women.
G.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.
