Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do . When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other when you choose your food. You may it because it smells good or because it good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice.
Different use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the . A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other in the garden. However, most animals have a more diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The of these animals will be different depending on the season.
have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much . This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal , such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modem life.

A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s 26 problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 27 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 28there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 29side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope30 they went up. They would have been 31without her, but not once did they try to sneak (溜掉)by her without helping. And when the sled 32 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 33 them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 34among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 35 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 36 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 37 on the sideline(作为旁观者) and know that they will befriend(照顾)them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame38 much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything, 39 the adults who have taught themselves.
Most adults have been 41at some time or another, sadly, many 42that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 43 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 44 of bumps(撞伤) and bruises(擦伤), but we can all make it to the 45 if we remember to help those who need it.

Nearly 20 years later.Sheriff Brown's name 48 on my list.I didn't even know if he was still 49.Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.I tried his number.After a few 50 , 1 heard, "Hello?"

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be 36 for your health.And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it 37.
Research is preliminary, but several studies 38 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
In an editorial 39 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 40 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines 41 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 42.
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 43 signals," Ekblom-Bak said.She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the 44 start to shut down.
Even for people who 45 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful.Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — 46 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 47 in a single bout.
That wasn't 48 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 49 a computer.Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 50 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.
"I'm sure there are some detrimental 51 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 52 when I can helps," he said."I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be 53 dangerous."
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 54 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.
Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to 55 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.
