These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.David Tillman, a profes
18、sor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to
19、adopt what has been called the Western diet. The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatterand sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病)and heart diseaseUnfortunately when p
20、eople become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they bega
21、n to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment.

22、ttle.

27、 a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. Hed eat after hed been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pu
28、lling out bread for sandwiches, shed want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:“Gone to Michaels. Back tonight, Tim.”The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasnt up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as
29、 he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterdays sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and do
30、wn watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world, over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the
31、 cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious (神秘的) now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He neednt go in all the way. . .28. Wha

Yet evidence suggests that
35、most of us dont use the learning techniques that science has proved the most effective.The scientific literature(科技文献) evaluating these techniques goes back to decades and across thousands of articles. Its far tooextensiveand complex for the average parents, teachers or employers to look through. Fo
36、rtunately, a team of five leading psychologists have done the job for us.Professor John Dunlosky and other psychologists closely examined 10 learning strategies and evaluated each from high to low utility(实用) on the basis of the evidence theyve gathered. Heres part of their conclusions:In contrast t
37、o familiar practices, the effective learning strategies with the most evidence to support them arent well known outside the lab. Take distributed practice, for example. This strategy involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon. Cramming (死记硬背)information at the last
38、minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quickly disappear from your memory. Its much more effective to look through the material at intervals over time.And the longer you want to remember the information, whether its two weeks or two years, the longer the inte
39、rvals should be.The second learning strategy that is highly recommended by Dunlosky is practice testing. Yes, more tests-but they are not for a grade. Research shows that the mere act of calling information to mind strengthens that knowledge and aids in future retrieval (检索). While practice testing
40、is not a common strategy-despite the strong evidence supporting it -there is one familiar approach that captures its benefits: using flash cards. And now flash cards can be presented in digital form. Both distributed practice and practice testing were rated as having “high utility” by Dunlosky.32. H
41、ow did the psychologists study and rate the learning strategies? A. By analyzing the materials gathered in the past years. B. By asking some students questions about their study. C. By doing some experiments on the objects in the lab. D. By asking parents and teachers to look through the articles.33

About distributed practice and practice testing, its true that_. A. many students have benefited a lot from them. B. they were first put forward by
43、John Dunlosky. C. only a small number of experts know about them. D. psychologists are not sure whether they are effective.35. The evidence shows that the strategy of practice testing_. A. is a way to use flash cards to help study B. is mainly used to help us remember well C. helps know about studen
