Experts say that if food were a country, it would rank second behind theUSas one of the biggest greenhouse

gas polluters. The reason is the rising demand for meat. Animal farming is responsible for 14.5 percent of global

methane emissions. While cowsare the worst contributors, pigs, sheep, donkeys and other animals play a part as

well.

Animal agriculture also causes land to become damaged, water to be polluted and forests to get destroyed.

With the world population forecast to rise to 9.8 billion by 2050, things are only looking worse for our already

decreasing natural resources. While going vegetarian would help, meat consumption is too deep-rooted in most

Western diets to allow for such a sharp, permanent change. That is why experts are advocating substituting some

of the beef, chicken, or pork with ordinary insects!

Insects, which grow into adults within a matter of months, if not weeks, are ready for consumption much

faster than domestic animals. They also require much less room, use less water and food, and produce far less

greenhouse gas than animals.

Of the 1.1 million insect species worldwide, scientists have identified 1,700 as eatable. Among them are ants,

grasshoppers, grubs, and earthworms. Just like animals, each insect has a different taste. Tree worms taste just like

pork, and grubs are similar to smoked meat.

While eating insects might be a new concept for Western people, over 2 billion people worldwide consume

insects as a regular part of their diet. Besides being delicious, insects are high in protein, have very few calories,

and are free of the saturated fat found in animal meat. Insects can be prepared in many ways. Creative cooks can

use them to cook protein-rich soup, make baked treats, and even fry a few with vegetables. So eat insects--- both

your body and Mother Earth will thank you for it!

Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886, making it a rather true andtested favorite of

generations of people in over 200 countries. This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your

coke than usual.

. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke

overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much

easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.

. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is

especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a

wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the

sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.

. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of

coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed,

stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself

with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!

. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by

over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the

blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.

4. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Start. B. Cleaning.

C. Shake. D. Example.

5. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?

A. Use a dry cloth.

B. Rub the window lightly.

C. Don’t pour too much coke. D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.

6. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?

A. To get rid of the black on the pot.
