How much do you know about good nutrition? Are the following statements true or false? 1. People who don't eat meat can stay healthy. True. As long as people eat enough milk, eggs and meat alternates , they can get enough protein. 2. Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned vegetables. False. The difference depends more on how vegetables are prepared than whether they are fresh or canned. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large quantity of vitamins. 3. Food eaten between meals can be just as good for health as food eaten at regular meals. True. Nutritional value depends on what types of food you eat, not when you eat them. Eating an egg or an orange between meals can _ a good diet. 4. Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won't give you more energy. True.

A vitamin has the same properties and specific chemical structure whether made in a laboratory or taken from plant or animal parts. 6. Older people need the same amount of vitamins as younger people. True. Older people need the same quantity of vitamins as younger people although they need fewer calories. Certain illnesses raise the requirements for some vitamins, but that is true for the young as well as the old. 7. Food grown in poor soil is lower in vitamins than food grown in rich sold. False. The vitamins in our foods are made by the plants themselves. They don't come from the soil. However, the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil. If you have answered these questions correctly, you can say you know much about food and nutrition by today's standards. But remember that nutrition is a growing science and... Question: The main purpose of the passage is to _ . Options: A: list today's standards of some food and nutrition B: introduce what should be eaten and what not C: explain what is helpful to your health and what is not D: test our nutrition IQ by judging the problems listed

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Easter is still a great day for worship, randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies. And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The _ is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures arc having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US. Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer -- it lives on the islands! -- but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat completely. The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators . As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies arc being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down. American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the firs' of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate to higher ground -- but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats... Question: The problem faced by volcano rabbets and rock rabbits is that _ . Options: A: both are affected by 1ess snow B: both are affected by rising sea levels C: neither can find enough food D: neither can migrate to higher places
Ans: D

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: At first sight, you would think the collection of hundreds of colored shards could be a work of abstract art. But the objects are the contents of the stomach of a sea turtle that lost its battle with plastic pollution. Environmentalists examined the stomach of the turtle found off the coast of Argentina. What they found is the symptom of the increasing threat to sea turtles from a human addiction to plastic. Sea turtles often mistake plastic items for jellyfish or other food. Ingesting ocean pollution can cause a digestive blockage and internal cuts. The result can be dangerous, followed by death. Humans produce 260 million tons of plastic a year. When those products are pulled into the sea's currents, the plastics are just broken into smaller pieces which are consumed by marine life at the bottom of the food chain. An examination of a green turtle found off Florida discovered that, over the course of a month, the animal's faeces had contained 74 foreign objects, including "four types of balloons, different types of hard plastic, a piece of carpet--like material and two 2--4 mm tar balls." "The oceans have become a giant refuse bin for all manner of plastics. All sea turtle species may be seriously harmed, "according to the biologists Colette Wabnitz, from the University of British Columbia. "The symptom of this growing crisis can be seen inside and on sea turtles as well as their oceanic and terrestrial habitats. It is urgently necessary to directly confront the source of plastic pollution, redesign packaging and rethink the very idea of 'throwaway culture'." Almost all marine species, from plankton to whales, have ingested plastic. But, even in small quantities, plastic can kill sea turtles, the biologists said. Fifty out of 92 turtles found dead, stranded on the shorelines of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil, had ingested a "considerable amount of man-made _ ". Question: What's tile passage mainly about? Options: A: How to prevent the sea turtle from plastic. B: Why plastic is dangerous to the sea turtle. C: Protecting the sea turtle from being polluted. D: Sea turtles suffering from plastic pollution.
