A traveller was staying in an Egyptian village. One day, she held up her camera

to take pictures of the children. Suddenly the young ones began to shout at her. The

traveller's face turned red and she apologized to the head for what she was doing, and

told him she had forgotten that people in some places believed a person would lose his

soul(灵魂) if his picture was taken. She explained to him the operation of a camera

for a long time. Several times the head tried to say something, but he couldn't. When

she believed that the head didn't fear any longer, the traveller then let him speak.

With a smile, he said, "The children were trying to tell you that you forgot to take

off the lens(镜头) cap!"

B

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that

cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began

to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than

before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children

who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not

true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the

food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables.

This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote

the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference

in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body

needs—folic acid.

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong.

Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

A. Popeye the Sailor B. The Truth about Spinach

C.A Mistake with Numbers D. Folic Acid Makes You Strong

C. Spinach had a lot of iron.

D. People liked folic acid.

7. A research group told people that spinach______.

A. made Popeye strong

B. was a green vegetable C. had less iron than other green vegetables

D. had more iron than other green vegetables

8. The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.

A. iron B. folic acid C. spinach D. exercise

C

Body and Food

Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important

thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old

saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think.

The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take

extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.

But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins

you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?

In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating

properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly.
