Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned.
The success of James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster（卖座的大片）, which has already taken more than $1 billion (￡600 million) at the box office, is fuelling a surge in popularity for three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.
But prolonged viewing may result in an aching head, according to Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmology（眼科学） professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
He said: \are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, for example a minor muscle imbalance, which under normal circumstances the brain deals with naturally.\
Watching a 3D movie confronts viewers with an entirely new sensory experience. \translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache,\
Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology（神经学） at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said: \degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert. This disparity for some people will give them a headache.\
Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film. Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before.
But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads. 72、What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said ?
A. A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films. B. The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumatances naturally.
C. A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumatances. D. People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films. 73、What does the underlined word “prolonged” in the 3rd paragraph mean ? A. continuous B. constant C. regular D. long-time
74、According to the passage , which of the following is TRUE ?
A. It has taken over $1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.
B. Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience. C. There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film. D. Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future. 75、What’s the main idea of the passage ?
A. The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head. B. New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems.
C. The experts are studying how to get rid of many of the problems that have previously caused sore heads. D. Viewing 3D films may result in some side-effect problems such as headaches.

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extend do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally consider caring, sharing and generosity originally in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed or self-concerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer, either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficially relationship with others.
Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
Main comparisons __76__ are changing. Contexts In the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first ____77____. Nowadays, people seem to be more ____78____about themselves. People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦让的).
