Food is national and international. Many people like their own national dishes and a variety of foreign ones. You can find European and Oriental restaurants on most large cities.

As well, you might also find Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants in some cities in the US. American hamburgers and hot dogs are popular in Tokyo and Paris.

Task 2: GM Foods

The term GM foods refers to those produced with the latest genetic engineering techniques. In 2000, countries that grew 99% of the global GM crops were the United States, Argentina, Canada, and China. The next decade will see rapid development

in Gm products. Gm foods may solve many of the world’s hunger problems, and help protect environment. Yet there are many challenges ahead for governments, especially in the areas of human and environmental safety, labeling and consumer choice, ethics, food security, regulation and international policy. Many people feel that genetic engineering is inevitable and that such a technology should be put to use. However, others warn that we must take care to avoid causing unintentional harm to both human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology. 1.

I heard life asking its goal.

I was alone looking out of a house, Knowing the empty rooms.

II. Listening Skills

Listening to People Talk About Health

1. M: I haven’t been to see my doctor for a very long time. I’m worried that he’ll

be angry with me for not having a physical examination for so long.

W: Which is more important, the doctor’s feelings or your health? You’d better go if

you want to make sure everything is all right with you. It seems that the man worries more about the doctor’s feelings than his own health.

2. W: Oh, I’ve got a cold. I’m not used to the cold weather, and it often gets the

best of me. What I need now is some good medicine.

M: The best medicine is to keep healthy. I promise you that if you get involved with

some sort of physical exercise, you’ll get sick a lot less. Why don’t you try joining a gym?

The woman catches cold easily and believes in taking some good medicine, but the man thinks physical exercise is more important.

3. W: Exams are coming up soon. I’ve been so busy with schoolwork that I’ve had a lot

of trouble sleeping.

M: School is important, but so is your health. Maybe you should talk to a doctor.

Doctors see people all the time for this very problem. They can help you.

4. M: Do you mind if I have a cigarette before we eat?

to poison your body and shorten your life, that’s your business. But as for me, I want to live long and healthy. The woman asks the man to smoke outside because she wants to live long and healthy. She believes second-hand smoke causes cancer too.

5. W: Robert, when we last talked, you promised there would be less television and

junk food, and more exercise in your life. But now you’re becoming quite overweight.

M: I know it’s bad, but I really like watching TV. After all we should enjoy

ourselves while we are young.

W: But you’re risking your health watching TV so much.

M: Oh, yes: heart trouble, high blood pressure. But I’d rather die than give up

TV.

The man once promised he would watch TV less, eat less junk food and have more exercise. But he believes it is more important to enjoy himself, although the woman says he’s risking his health watching TV so much.

III. Listening In

Task 1: Diets

If you’re a young lady in your twenties, you may be either on a diet or wondering which diet to follow. Indeed, people are so concerned with their appearance that the word “diet” has lost its original meaning. It now has the same meaning as “weight loss diet”. There was a time when women bound their waists to have a nice figure. Them came Twiggy, a British supermodel most famous in the 1960s, and since then everyone has wanted to look like a twig. Because of this trend, many diets have become popular. It is not uncommon to meet young girls who look weak enough to be blown away in the wind, yet they are still talking about diets! However, extreme diets can lead to health problems. Many such dieters may end up with very serious disorders. Princess Diana suffered from an excessively strong appetite; Karen Carpenter, a popular singer of the 1970s, died of the less of appetite. You should know that looking good is important but not when it comes at he risk of your health and life. Better eating habits and proper exercise are all you need to be fit and look good. 1.A 2.C 3.B 4.B 5.C

Task 3: The Flu

There’s nothing gradual about the flu: it hits you like a hammer. One minute you’re feeling fine, and the next you can be shivering, burning up, and then shivering again. In minutes, your legs become weak and your body aches in places that have never hurt before. Influenza can break out so suddenly that people can sometimes say, “It hit me at exactly 9 last night.” But whether the flu strikes at night or on the bus to school, there’s just one thing a victim wants to do: lie down in bed. A healthy person can fight off the flu in three to five days, though a cough and tired feeling can last two more weeks. But often an attack of the flu is followed by another illness. Doctors recommend that old people, or people of nay age with heart or lung problems, get a flu vaccine every year. Because flu viruses change all the time, a new vaccine must be prepared each year to protect against future attacks.
