Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning(中毒). Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms(微生物)cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release(释放)poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Food when poisoned can make people sick. | B.Food poisoning means death. |
C.Food poisoning comes in varieties. | D.Food poisoning can be serious. |
We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning.
A.are always accompanied by a fever | B.are too common to be noted |
C.can be noticed within hours | D.can he ignored |
Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT.
A.some chemicals | B.low temperatures |
C.some tiny living things | D.certain natural materials |
From Paragraph 5,we can learn that.
A.mushrooms should not be eaten |
B.vegetables are safer than meat and seafood |
C.natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals |
D.different types of food should be handled differently |
It can be inferred from the passage that.
A.natural materials are safe in food processing |
B.chemicals are needed in food processing |
C.food poisoning can be kept under control |
D.food poisoning is out of control |
I know what you’re thinking : pizza (比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐) , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories (卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food .
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.
A.food remaining after a meal | B.things left undone |
C.meals made of vegetables | D.pizza topped with fruit |
What can we infer from the text?
A.Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry. |
B.Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. |
C.There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. |
D.Eating vegetables helps save energy. |
According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.
A.eat something for breakfast | B.be careful about what you eat |
C.heat up food before eating it | D.eat calorie-controlled food |
The text is written mainly for those_____________.
A.who go to work early | B.who want to lose weight |
C.who stay up late | D.who eat before sleep |
What’s the writer’s attitude towards eating breakfast?
A.He thinks it’s up to different people. | B.He is not sure about it. |
C.He thinks it depends. | D.He supports it. |
