　　If there is something that appears most frequently on Chinese dining tables, it is doufu—bean curd. Bean curd looks like soft cakes and it's made from dried soybeans. Bean curd used to be considered a favourite of the poor because of its low cost. Beans have high yields(产量) every year with their short growing period and suitability for various(各种各样) soil both dry and wet.

　　Historical records show bean curd was invented by Liu An, Prince of Huainan and uncle of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty(206BC—220AD). He had a dream of finding the pill for longevity(长寿). He travelled all over the country and found soybeans, which looked much the same as gold in terms of colour. He collected soybeans, put them in the water and crushed them into pulp(浆). It got solidified and became known as doufu. Although it's not able to keep longevity, it's really good for one's health with high protein and low fat.

　　How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.

　　“Go for nutrient dense foods，” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice —the rest is largely coloured sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior，” she emphasizes.

　　Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life — it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren't supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.

　　According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or making you superwoman is a_fruitless_search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.

　　“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat — they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel，” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn't there, the spark is useless.”

　　6．From the paragraph we know that working women________.

　　A. think cooking is especially complicated

　　B. do not share the same views with registered dietitians

　　C. are busy and not interested in cooking

　　D. are likely to eat healthfully

　　7．Orange juice is different from orange drink in that ________.

　　A. it contains only a small percentage of real juice

　　B. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges

　　C. it is largely orange-colored sugar water

　　D. it produces nothing but calories

　　8．In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means “________”．

　　A. an effort with no results

　　B. a search for a diet without fruits

　　C. a research on fruitless diet

　　D. a diet serving as medicine

　　9．Many women take it for granted, according to passage that ________.

　　A. a balanced diet can result in being fat

　　B. staying thin and healthy are both possible

　　C. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin

　　D. vitamins are some kind of substitutions (替代品) for food

　　10．By “if the fuel isn't there, the spark is useless”， the author means ________.

　　A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life

　　B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value

　　C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals

　　D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use
