Passage 2
Whether you eat to live or live to eat, food should help keep you well. In our modern world of processed and preserved foods, many nutritionists (營養(yǎng)學家) are suggesting that we can stay healthy with a well-balanced diet of plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and not too much red meat, salt, or sugar. In fact, eating natural, unprocessed foods that are made from scratch, instead of artificial and junk (假的) foods, may not only keep you healthy, but save your money, too.
To stay healthy, you must also be careful to avoid food poisoning, a common, unpleasant, and often dangerous illness that affects one out of every six Americans each year. Food poisoning is often caused by salmonella bacteria (沙門化菌) in food, especially raw meats and dairy products. Heat usually kills the bacteria, and refrigeration keeps them from growing. So remember to keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Also, be sure to keep your hands and cooking utensils clean so you don’t transfer germs to the food while you are preparing it.
If you use canned food, always check the cans for leaks or puffiness. A puffed can could mean botulism, a fatal type of food poisoning that you cannot see or smell. Never taste any food that you suspect has spoiled. Instead, return any damaged cans or spoiled food to the grocery store, and the manager will refund (歸還) your money. When using processed foods, be sure to read all the labels and check the ingredients and the freshness date before you buy or eat the food.
Eating is one of the joys of life. Being careful about what you put in your mouth can keep it that way.

第四部分 概括大意 (20分)
給下面一篇文章的每一段概括大意。每一段的主題用一個或幾個單詞表示，空出的詞已給出了第一個字母，請把其余字母補全。
31. D
Adults twelve years old and over take two teaspoonfuls as needed, not to exceed fifteen teaspoonfuls per day. Children six years old to twelve years old take half of the adult dosage, not to exceed seven teaspoonfuls per day.
32. W
Do not administer (用藥) to children under six years old or to individuals with high blood pressure, heart disease, or disease, or diabetes. This preparation may cause sleepy. Do not drive or operate machinery while taking this medicine. Chronic (長期的) cough is dangerous. If relief does not occur within three days, discontinue use and consult your physician.
33. E of Information between the Sensory (感觀的) Neurons (神經(jīng)) and the Brain.
The sensory neurons keep the brain informed of what is happening outside and inside the body through a variety of sensory pick - up units called receptors. Some of these, lying at or near the skin surface, may be specially sensitive to tissue damage (causing pain), or light contact (producing a touch sensation), or pressure, or temperature, either hot or cold. Other receptors on the tongue and in the nose respond to light of varying intensities, while receptors respond to color. Receptors in the ear respond to minute vibrations caused by sound waves striking the eardrum. Other receptors are deep in the walls of the intestines; when the intestines contract vigorously because of the presence of uncomfortable food or gas, these receptors transmit signals of pain. Still other receptors lodged in the muscles, fire off signals to the brain any time a muscle contracts or a joint moves or is subjected to added pressure or tension.
34. C of a fever; Fever is a condition in which the body temperature is high than normal. Usually the presence of fever is due to an infection, though there can be many other causes such as malignancies (惡性腫瘤)，brain injuries, poisoning reactions, reactions to vaccines, and diseases involving the central nervous system. Sometimes emotional action can bring on a fever.
35. C of the Stomach; Carcinoma of the stomach is a common cancer of the digestive tract. It is one of the leading causes of death.
The disease tends to occur in the age groups over 40, and to this type of cancer males are somewhat more likely than females. In many cases the early stage of growth of the cancer is usually not associated with definite symptoms. By the time symptoms occur to an intensity that makes the patient seek medical advice, the cancer is often found to have spread to other organs such as the liver.
