32、s答案：bdbdb五 The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and f
33、orty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is nto a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years
34、ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, monly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additivies,caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it bees more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful
35、or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes,but for financial reasons. The farm
36、ers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market.

Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys l
41、ife, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preferenc
42、e, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up-we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
