Organic Food:Why?
1 Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world,expanding by 25 percent a year over
the past 10 years.So what is the attraction of organic food for some people?The really important thing is
that organic sounds more"natural".Eating organic is a way of defining oneself as natural,good,caring,
different from the junk-food-eating masses.
2 Unlike conventional farming,the organic approach means farming with natural,rather than man-
made , fertilisers and pesticides. Techniques such as crop rotation（轮种）improve soil quality and help
organic farmers compensate for the absence of man-made chemicals.As a method of food production,organic
is,however,inefficient in its use of labour and land;there are severe limits to how much food can be pro-
duced.Also,the environmental benefits of not using artificial fertilisers are tiny compared with the amount of
carbon dioxide emitted（排放）by transporting food.
3 Organic farming is often claimed to be safer than conventional farming. Yet studies into organic
farming worldwide continue to reject this claim.An extensive review by the UK Food Standards Agency found
that there was no statistically significant difference between organic and conventional crops.Even where re-
sults indicated there was evidence of a difference,the reviewers found no sign that these differences would
have any noticeable effect on health.
4 The simplistic claim that organic food is more nutritious than conventional food was always likely to
be misleading. Food is a natural product,and the health value of different foods will vary for a number of rea-
sons,including freshness,the way the food is cooked,the type of soil it is grown in,the amount of sunlight
and rain crops have received,and so'on.Likewise,the flavour of a carrot has less to do with whether it was
fertilised with manure（粪便）or something out of a plastic sack than with the variety of carrot and how long
ago it was dug up.
5 The notion that organic food is safer than"normal"food is also contradicted by the fact that many of
our most common foods are full of natural toxins（毒素）.As one research expert says: "People think that the
more natural something is,the better it is for them.That is simply not the case.In fact,it is the opposite
that is true:the closer a plant is to its natural state,the more likely it is that it will poison you.Naturally,
many plants do not want to be eaten,so we have spent 10,000 years developing agriculture and breeding out
harmful traits from crops."

第三篇
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them.They have always complained,more or less justly,that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they are possessive and dominant;that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis;that they talk too much about certain problems;and that they have no sense of humor,at least in parent-hild relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles,in entertainments and music.This is not their motive.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted.So they create a culture and society of their own.Then,if it turns out that their music or entertainments or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents,this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior,at least in a small way,and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do.If they did approve,it looks as if you are betraying your own age group.But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog:you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things.It is natural enough after long years of childhood,when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ig而res the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life,cooperation can be part of that plan.You can charm others,especially your parents,into doing things the way you want.You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative,so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
The author is mainly talking to_________.
A:parents of teenagers
B:those who give advice to teenagers
C:newspaper readers
D:teenagers

Natural Medicines
Since earliest days,humans have used some kinds of medicines.We know this because humans have survived.Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep humans from dying out completely.
They were successful long before the time of modern medicine. Before the time of doctors with white coats and shiny（发亮的）instruments. Before the time of big hospitals with strange and wonderful equipment.
Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors. Nor do they have expensive hospitals.Yet injuries are treated.And diseases are often cured.How?By ancient methods. By medicines that might seem mysterious , even magical（有魔力的）.Traditional medicines are neither mysterious nor magical,however.
Through the centuries , tribal（部落的）medicine men experimented with plants. They found
many useful chemicals in the plants.And scientists believe many of these traditional medicines
may provide the cure for some of today's most serious diseases.
Experts say almost 80% of the people in the world use plants for health care.These natural medicines are used not just because people have no other form of treatment. They are used because people trust them. In developed areas,few people think about the source of the medicines they buy in a store .Yet many widely-used medicines are from ancient sources,especially plants.
Some experts say more than 25%of modem medicines come,in one way or another,from nature.
Scientists have long known that nature is really a chemical factory. All living things contain chemicals that help them survive .So scientists' interest in traditional medicine is not new.But it has become an urgent concern.This is because the earth's supply of natural medicines may be dropping rapidly.
The passage indicates that ancient treatments for injury and disease were
A: much more successful than modem ones
B: successful enough for humans to survive
C: successful in all cases
D: of little help to humans
