Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of foods that are considered more healthful than the types of foods widely sold in supermarkets. For example, whole grains, dried beans, and corn oil are health foods. A narrower classification of health food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish between types of the same food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener, whereas refined sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but canned fruit, with sugars and other additives, is not. The most precise term of all and the narrowest classification within health food is organic food, used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm. Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens, that are treated only with organic fertilizers, that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides and that are not refined after harvest, are organic foods. Meats, fish, dairy and poultry products from animals that are fed only organically-grown feed and that are not injected with hormoned are organic foods. In choosing the type of food you eat, then, you have basically two choices: Inorganic, processed foods, or organic, unprocessed foods. A wise decision should include investigation of the allegations that processed foods contain chemicals, some of which are proven to be toxic, and that vitamin is greatly reduced in proceeded foods. 11. What was the main idea of this talk? 12. Which term is used to distinguish between types of the same food? 13. What happens to food when it is processed? Passage two Questions 14 to l6 are based on the passage you have just heard. M: British English and American English are really about the same, aren't they? W: I don't think so. It seems to me that some of the spellings are different. B: You're right, Mary. Words like theater and center end in r-e in England instead of in e-r like we spell them. Can you think of any more examples? W: The word color? B: Good. In fact, many words which end in o-r in American English are spelled our in British English. M: I'm still not convinced. I mean, if someone comes here from England, we can all understand what he's saying. The spelling doesn't really matter that much. B: Okay. Are we just talking about spelling? Or are there some differences in pronunciation and meaning too? W: I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half of the movie was over before I realized what they were talking about. M: So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary. W: And pronunciation, too. You aren't going to tell me that you sound like Richard Burton. M: Richard Burton isn't English. He's Welsh. W: Okay. Anyway, the pronunciation is different. B: I think that what you are really disagreeing about is the extent of the difference. We are agree that British English and American English are different. Right? W: Yes. M: Sure. B: But not so different that it prevents us from understanding each other. M: That's what I mean. W: That's what I mean, too. 14. According to this class discussion, how is the word center spelled in British English? 15. What doe she word "flat" mean in British English? 16. On what did the class agree? Passage three Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. The camera is often thought to be a modern invention. But as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkness silver salt, a chemical compound. Using as a camera, a big box with small hole to let the light in, he made temporary images on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of film today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent picture by using a special piece of metal sensitized with silver salt. A photographer he made in 1826 still exists. The painter, Daguerre improved on the process by placing common salt, the kind we eat, on the mental. This was in 1839, the official date of the beginning of photography, but the problem was the printing of the photographs, and it wasn't until other scientists developed the kind of paper we now use, that good printing was possible and photography became truly modern. In the 1860s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures of the American Civil War, thus making portrait positions very popular. In the 20th century, Geogre Eastman of the United States simplified film developing, and Dr Edwin Land invented the so-called "instant" camera with self-developing film. If we say that photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it has taken more than one hundred years for the camera to reach a condition of technical refinement. 17. What discovery was the basis of photography? 18. How was the first permanent picture made? 19. According to the speaker, why is Matthew Bradey remembered today? 20. What did Dr. Edwin Land invent?
