(A)Handshaking, the most popular way of showing friendliness, is often seen in cities and towns all over the world. It is, in fact, (25) _ European custom, but nobody knows exactly when this practice started. It is sa
16、id that long, long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their (26) _ (unarm) hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each others hands (27) _ (make) a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later chan
17、ged into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. Now “Lets shake hands on it” sometimes (28) _ (mean) agreement reached.Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No, sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It i
18、s really very impolite to give your hand when the meeting does not mean (29) _ to him or her in some cases, and when the other person, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you. (30) _ _, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited
19、 hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding among the Chinese, which sometimes brings about unnecessary troubles, (31) _ westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved in manner. But, as a matter of fact, some people in western countri
20、es are more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only (32) _ he shows interest in further relations with you. (B)Innocent Fast Food RestaurantA study by academics from the University of California and Northwestern University claimed that “the causal
21、link between the consumption of restaurant foods and obesity (肥胖) is minimal at best.”It argued that a tax on high-calorie (卡路里) food, (33) _ was proposed by many health campaigners in the US and Britain, might therefore not be an effective way for governments to deal with the problem.It analyzed da
22、ta on calorie intake around the country, which (34) _ (collect) before under the leadership of the US Department of Agriculture. The study found that people living closer (35) _ restaurants were not significantly more likely to be obese than people living further away, (36) _ (indicate) that easy ac
23、cess to restaurants had little effect.It also showed that while restaurant meals typically held more calories than home-produced food, many customers often make up for this by eating (37) _ (little) throughout the rest of the day.“Obese people who ate at restaurants,” the study indicated, “also eat
24、more when they eat at home.”The US government estimates (38) _ about one in three Americans, or 100 million in total, are obese. Last month it was predicted that 75 percent of Americans would be overweight in 2020.The problem is thought to cost Americans between $150 billion and $170 billion in annu
25、al medical costs.“While taxing restaurant meals might means (39) _ (change) where these consumers eat,” the studys authors, Michael Anderson and David Matsa, wrote, “our study results suggest that a tax (40) _ be unlikely to affect their potential tendency to overeat.”Section BDirections: Complete t
26、he following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. artificial B. especially C. substitute D. extra E. preventing F. concernsG. rotten H. enduring I. inadequately J. approved K. evidenceAre Sweeteners (甜味剂) Safe and
27、Healthy?For many of us, the relationship we have with sugar is love at first taste, and that love usually lasts a lifetime. But what price do we have to pay for this truly addictive, sugary love? Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病)? Heavier bodies? Raised blood sugar levels? Or even _41_ teeth?Time to quit perhap
28、s? Easier said than done. Whats the alternative? Many would suggest using sweeteners as a _42_. But are sweeteners healthier than sugar?Sweeteners are usually low-calorie (卡路里) or calorie-free substances that have a similar taste to sugar. It is estimated that more than a quarter of British househol
29、ds buy _43_ sweeteners to help cut their sugar intake.The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has _44_ some of the health claims food manufacturers have made about sweeteners such as xylitol, sorbitol and sucralose. These include _45_ tooth decay and controlling blood sugar levels.According to the
30、 National Health Service in the UK, sweeteners are safe to use and are _46_ helpful for those who are diabetic. Sioned Quirke, a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association says, “As a dietician, I support and promote the use of sweeteners in cooking and diet.” She also says that “There is no
31、_47_ to suggest that low-calorie sweeteners, such as saccharin, aspartame and sucralose, are harmful or bad for you.”But many have _48_ over the long-term effects caused by using sweeteners. Dr Robert Lustig, author of Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar would not accept sweeteners as an alternative to sugar because, “We lack data”. According to Dr Lustig, organisations like EFSA only require studies which test whether something will poison a person in a short period of time, which is known as acute toxicity (急性毒性) studies. But we still dont know what the _
