  Organic food,once considered something that only health fanatics de?sired,is now a regular feature at most supermarkets. And that has created a bit of a dilemma. On the one hand,you have a conventionally grown apple. On the other hand,you have one that's organic. Both apples are firm,shiny and red. Both provide vitamins and fibre,and both are free of fat,sodium and cho?lesterol.

  Conventionally grown food generally costs less,but is organic food a bet?ter choice? The advantages claimed for such food over conventionally grown and sold food products are now being debated on a large scale. Supporters of organic food―a term whose meaning varies greatly―are frequently telling the world that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.

  The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of daily food is a welcome development. However,much of this interest has been aroused by sweeping claims that the conventional food supply is unsafe or inad?equate in meeting nutritional needs.

  Almost daily,the public is surrounded by claims for "noaging" diets,new vitamins and other wen3er foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated re?ports that natural vitamins are superior to manmade ones,that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs,and that untreated grains are better than those treated with insect spray and the like.

Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence,large amounts of written material about the benefits of organic food make it difficult for people to separate fact from fiction. As a result,claims that eating a diet consisting of organically grown food prevents or cures diseases or pro?vides other benefits to health have become widely advertised and form the basis for people's opinions.

  One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in com?mon is that they cost more than conventionally grown food. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic food can maintain health and pro?vide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown food. So there is real cause for concern if consumers,particularly those with limited incomes,dis?trust the conventional food supply and buy only expensive organic food in?stead.

4. According to Paragraph 2,which of the following statements about organic food is TRUE?

   A. It has no agreed definition.

   B. It is popular among producers.

   C. It is accepted by most nutritionists.

   D. It hasn't been used until recent years.

5. It can be inferred from the passage that       .

   A. organic food is actually less nutritious than conventionally grown food

   B. people cannot separate fact from fiction because of the TV advertisements

   C. organic food costs more but are not necessarily better than convention?ally grown food

   D. most doctors believe that organic food prevents diseases or provides other benefits to health

6. According to the passage,many consumers are attracted by organic food because they       .

   A. have carefully researched the products

   B. value food safety and nutrition

   C. expect to save some money

   D. want to try something new

7. What is the author's attitude towards the claims of organic food?

  Busy as I am every day,I always open my com?puter and check my email. Most of the time I am sim?ply doing finger exercises,another form of piano prac?tice without beautiful tones. Sometimes,however,I ,receive a gift,reminding me of the gifts in my life. The following passage is one of those gifts.

  Peter Jones is a 92-year-old,short,calm and proud man. Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o'clock,with his hair fashionably combed and face per?fectly shaved even though he is unable to see anything. He would move to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years old has recently passed away,making the move necessary.

  After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home,he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walking stick skilfully to the elevator,the nurse provided a visual de?scription of his tiny room. "I love it," he stated with enthusiasm. "Mr Jones,you haven't been to the room," said the nurse.

  "That doesn't have anything to do with it”, he re?plied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged but how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice : I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work,or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do."

  Each day is a gift,and as long as we are alive,we'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we've stored just as Mr Jones does.
