He liked the country and wrote down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found
11、the most interesting. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They do not eat with their hands, because people do not always have clean hands.”Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.At home Thomas had a dinner party to show the invention t
12、o his friends. When the steak（牛排） was brought out, he took out a fork and began to eat as they did in Italy.Everybody looked at him in surprise.

13、nge people because the fork was not easy to use at all.Thomas Coryate tried to prove（证明）that his friends were wrong.

18、 says John Ross, “and we just didnt have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are trying to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week lesso
19、n for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died.

24、 do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat（like fish and chicken） , dairy（like milk and cheese）, grains（like bread and rice）, fruit, and vegetables. The last gr
25、oup is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests（建议）how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For examp
26、le, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount（量）of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate（率）of cancer（癌症）and heart disease. In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and hear
27、t disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and c
28、ancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.Eating healthil
29、y is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Docto
30、rs suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects（影响）us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different di
31、seases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause（引起）diseases. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.1What is the USDA in the passage?AA group of doctors in the US.BAn office of the US government.CA report on diseases in the US.DAn order given by the US president.2
32、The second paragraph mainly tells us that _.AJapanese are always healthier than AmericansBliving in the US is not good for peoples healthCif you eat too much fat you will have cancerDthe way we eat may cause some health problems _.3Which of the following is true according to the passage?AMore and mo
