Mrs. Woo Mei Feng said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

Think about what you had for lunch: Was it a hamburger? A chicken sandwich? Beef and fish? What about vegetables? Would it surprise you that the food you eat can affect the whole earth?
It can — in a big way. Last week, scientists gave new studies showing how food and its production affect the earth and its warming weather. The researchers had some bad news for meat-eaters. They also offered some suggestions for how to eat in a greener way.
You’ve probably heard of global warming: For many years, scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer, animals may start to die off and life could get very difficult for everyone. The temperature is on the rise because for more than many years, humans have been adding lots of gas into the atmosphere(大气层), called “greenhouse gases”.
What does this have to do with food? A big part of CO2 that we put in the atmosphere every year comes from making and eating food, the scientists reported in Chicago.
All kinds of meat, the scientists reported, are harder than vegetables. To grow and eat a pound of potatoes, for example, sends less than one quarter pound of CO2. So changing our diet to less meat and more vegetables may do the world some good.
54、 The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. a hamburger or a chicken sandwich B. some vegetables
C. some meat and rice D. the food you eat every day

53、 According to the passage, what may happen if the earth goes on getting warmer?
A. Some places will be islands.
B. Plants will grow better.
C. Everyone will have a harder life.
D. Humans will have to live under the water
54、 Why eating meat is bad for the earth while eating vegetables is good?
A. Meat is more expensive than vegetables.
B. Meat is healthier than vegetables.
C. Making vegetable food sends more CO2.
D. Making meat food sends more CO2.
55、 According to the passage, _______ is the greenest diet.
A. potatoes and tomatoes B. beef and bread
C. fish and chips D. cakes and meat
