Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Prereading 1．Everybody has to eat, but do you eat a healthy diet in your daily life?2．What should we eat according to the following passage?Sometimes people are curious to know what type of food is healthy and what kind of food may hurt our health.The United States' Department of Agriculture has prepared a small book to help people learn about which types of food are the healthiest to eat. The book describes six basic food groups: meat, dairy (things made from milk), grains, fruits, and vegetables. The last group is fat, oil, and sweets.As a result of years of research, we know that too much fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruits, and vegetables. Because of this, they often get cancer and heart disease. In Japan, on the other hand, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. They also have a very low rate (比率) of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer than people in any other country. Unfortunately, when Japanese people move to the United States, the rate of heart disease and cancer increases as their diet changes. What's more, as hamburgers and other highfat foods become common in Japan, the rate of heartdisease and cancer is increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba and Hungary. It's no surprise that the disease rate in these countries is increasing along with the change in diet. Therefore, doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains, fruits, and vegetables, and eat less meat and dairy products.Warming Up1．Discuss the picture in pairs, and answer the following questions.①Are they healthy?They_are_both_unhealthy._The_short_person_is_too_fat_while_the_taller_is_to o_thin._②What should they do with the problem?I_think_they_need_have_a_healthy_and_balanced_diet_and_do_enough_physical_e xercise.③What is a healthy diet?A_healthy_diet_is_a_diet_that_is_balanced_and_neither_too_rich_in_fat,_suga r_and_salt_nor_too_poor_and_lacking_in_essential_nutrients.2．Look at the following pictures.Do you know that the food you eat helps you grow in different ways?(1)They are energygiving_food,_which provide energy.(2)They are bodybuilding_food,_which help grow bones and muscles.(3)They are protective_food,_which help the body fight diseases.Fast ReadingScan the passage and then choose the best answers according to the passage.1．When Wang Peng thought “Nothing could be better”， he means ________.A．his food and drink were the bestB．his food and drink were the worstC．his food should have been improvedD．he could do nothing with his food and drink2．Why did Wang Peng go into the newlyopened restaurant?A．Because he was angry.B．Because he was curious.C．Because he wanted to blame its owner.D．Because he wanted to ask for advice.3．Wang Peng was amazed when he saw the menu of Yong Hui's restaurant because ________.A．there were only raw vegetables and water served in Yong Hui's restaurantB．there were more choices of food and drink served in Yong Hui's restaurantC．the food and drink in Yong Hui's restaurant were more expensive than those in his restaurantD．Yong Hui's menu gave customers more energygiving food4.Wang Peng suggested that they provide a combined menu because ________.A．he liked Yong HuiB．he didn't want to lose his customersC．he thought his menu was betterD．this would provide a balanced diet5．What can we learn from Wang Peng's research in the library?A．Wang Peng's restaurant offered a balanced diet.B．Yong Hui's restaurant offered a balanced diet.C．Both of the restaurants offered a balanced diet.D．Neither of the two restaurants offered a healthy diet.答案：1～5 ABCDDCareful Reading1．Read the passage and then answer the following questions.(1)How did Wang Peng feel at the restaurant?
