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 lo years.So what is the attraction of organic food for some people? The really important thing is that organic sounds morenaturaleating organic is a way of defining oneself as natural,good,caring,different from the junkfoodeating masses.
2.Unlike conventional farming,the organic approach means farming with natural rather than man-made,fertilizers and pesticides.Techniques such as crop rotation(轮种)improve soil quality and help organic farmers compensate for the absence of manmade chemicals.As a method of food production organic is,however,inefficient in its use of labor and land:there are severe limits to how much food Call be produced.Also,the environmental benefits of not using artificial fertilizers are tiny compared with the amount of carbon dioxide emitted(排放)by transporting food.
3.Organic fanning 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 results 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 reasons 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 flavor of a carrot has less to do with whether it was fertilized 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.Then notion that organic food is safer thannormalfood 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 mink 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.

On the Trial of the Honey BadgerOn a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert,a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey badgers(獾).The team employed a local wildlife expert,Kitso Khama,to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert.Their main aim was to study the badgersmovements and behavior as discreetly(谨慎地)as possible frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior.They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them in view of the animals reputation,this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.
The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals,especially when they see something new.He says.That,combined with their unpredictable nature,can be a dangerous mixture.If they sense you have food,for example,they wont be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat.Theyre actually quite sociable creatures around humans,but as soon as they feel they might be in danger,they can become extremely vicious(凶恶的).Fortunately this is rare,but it does happen.
The research confirmed many things that were already known.As expected,honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill.Even poisonous snakes,feared and avoided by most other animals,were not safe from them.The researchers were surprised,however,by the animals fondness for local melons,probably because of their high water content.Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey(猎物).The team also learnt that,contrary to previous research findings,the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups.They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research,including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge,since they can cover large distances in a short space of time.Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers.
Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males,there are occasional fights over an important food source,and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.
As me badgers became accustomed to the presence of people.it gave the team the to get up close to them without being the subject of the animalscuriosityor a sudden aggression.The badgerseating patterns,which had been disrupted,to normal,It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other that form working associations with the honey badger,as these seemed to badgersrelaxed attitude when near humans.

Dont Drink AloneGets New MeaningIn what may be bad news for bars and pubs,a European research group has found that people drinking alcohol outside of meals have a significantly higher risk of cancer in the mouth and neck than do those taking their libations with food.Luigino Dal Maso and his colleagues studied the drinking patterns of 1,500 patients from four cancer studies and another 3,500 adults who had never had cancer.
After the researchers accounted for the amount of alcohol consumed,they found that individuals who downed a significant share of their alcohol outside of meals faced at least a 50 to 80 percent risk of cancer in the oral cavity,pharynx,and esophagus,when compared with people who drank only at meals.Consuming alcohol without food also increased by at least 20 percent the likelihood of laryngeal cancer.Roughly 95 percent of cancers at these four sites raced to smoking or drinking by the study volunteers,Dal Maso says.The discouraging news,his team reports,is that drinking with meals didnt eliminate cancer risk at any of the sites.
For their new analysis,the European scientists divided people in the study into four groups,based on how many drinks they reported having in an average week.The lowestintake group included people who averaged up to 20 drinks a week.The highest group reported downing at least 56 servings of alcohol weekly for all average of eight or more per day.Cancer risks for the mouth and neck sites rose steadily with consumption even for people who reported drinking only with meals.For instance,compared with people in the lowestconsumption group,participants who drank 21 to 34 alcohol servings a week at least doubled their cancer risk for all sites other than the larynx.If people in these consumption groups took some of those drinks outside meals,those in the higher consumption group at least quadrupled their risk for oral cavity and esophageal cancers.
People in the highestconsumption group who drank only with meals had lo times the risk of oral cancer,7 times the risk of pharyngeal cancer,and 16 times the risk of esophageal cancer compared with those who averaged 20 0r fewer drinks a week with meals.In contrast,laryngeal cancer risk in the highintake,with-meals-only group was only triple that in the low.intake consumers who drank with meals.
Alcohol can inflame tissues.Over time,that inflammation can trigger cancer.Dal Maso says.He suspects that food reduced cancer risk either by partially coating digestivetract tissues or by scrubbing alcohol off those tissues.He speculates that the reason laryngeal risks were dramatically lower for all study participants traces to the tissues lower exposure to alcohol.
根据以上内容,回答36-50题。
Who are more likely to develop cancer in the mouth and neck?
A.People who d rink alcohol outside of meals.
B.People who drink alcohol at meals.

The Worlds BestSelling MedicineSince ancient times,people all over the world have used willow to stop pain.The willow tree contains salicylic acid(水杨酸).This stops pain.but there is one problem.Salicylic acid also hurts the stomach.In 1853,a French scientist made a mixture from willow that did not hurt the stomach.However,his mixture was difficult to make,and he did not try to produce or sell it.
In 1897,in Germany,Felix Hoffmann also made a mixture with salicylic acid.He tried it himself first and then gave it to his father because his father was old and in a lot of pain.His fathers pain went away,and the mixture did not hurt his stomach.
Hoffmann worked for Bayer,a German company.He showed his new drug to his manager,who tested the drug and found that it worked well.Bayer decided to make the drug.
They called it aspirin and put the Bayer name on every pill.
Aspirin was all immediate Success.Almost everyone has pain of some kind,so aspirin answered a true need.Aspirin was cheap,easy to take,and effective.It also lowered fevers.
Aspirin was a wonder drug.
At first,Bayer sold the drug through doctors,who then sold it to their patients.In i915,the company started to sell aspirin in drugstores.In the United States,Bayer had a patent(专利权)on the drug.Other companies could make similar products and sell them in other countries. but only Bayer could make and sell aspirin in the United States.In time,Bayer could no longer own the name aspirin in the United States.Other companies could make it,there,too.However,Bayer aspirin was the most wellknown,and for many years,it was the market leader.
By the 1950s,new painkillers were on the market.Aspirin was no longer the only way to treat pain and reduce fever.Bayer and other companies looked for other drugs to make.
However,in the 1970s they got a surprise.Doctors noticed that patients who were taking aspirin had fewer heart attacks than other people.A British researcher named John Vane found the reason aspirin helped to prevent heart attacks.In 1982,he won the Nobel prize for his research. Doctors started to tell some of their patients to take aspirin every day to prevent heart attacks.It has made life better for the many people who take it.It has also made a lot of money for companies like Bayer that produce and sell it!

The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our LivesSugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens.Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose(蔗糖)and was chewed on for its sweet taste.Over time,sugar cane ecame a highly valuable commercial plant,grown throughout the world.(46)
Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things,from confectionery(糖果点心)to medicine.and,as the demand for sugar grew,the industry became larger and more profitable. (47) Many crops withered(枯萎)and died,despite growersattempts to save them,and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate.
In the l960s,scientists working in Barbodos looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease.They experimented with breeding programmes,mixing genes from the more delicate,commercial type. (48) This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially,but when this happens,it is expected to be incredible profitable for the industry.
(49)Brazil,which produces one quarter of the worlds sugar,has coordinated all international project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo.Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health.
Despite all the research,however,we still do not fully understand how the genes in sugar cane.(50) This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust,a disease which probably originated in India,but is IIOW capable of infecting sugar cane across the world.Scientist believes they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.
A.Eventually,a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before,but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease.
B.One major gene has been identified by Dr.Angelique DHont and her team in Montpelier,France.
C.Sugar cane is now much more vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore moreguaranteed.
D.Since the 1960s,scientists have been analyzing the mysteries of the sugar canes genetic code.
E.The majority of the worlds sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.
F.Unfortunately,however,the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.
