The spread of Westem eating habits around the world is bad for human nealth and the environment.These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations mdustriaHzed(工业化),population increased and earnings rose, more people began to sdopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿病)and heart disease.
Unfortunately, when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia, China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20,year period, And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico in Nigeria
and so on.
And, s diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical (热带的)areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all froms of transportation right now.
Mr, Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health. "a trilemma11: a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possibte setttemenf is leaving the behind. 68.According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from .

When people reunite with their loved ones, it's usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange,
but most of the time they break down in tears.
Now a group of psychologists (心理学家) from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body's way of keeping emotional(情感的)balance.
“They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions, ”Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.
Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babe. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏) a cute baby's face or even, tell them“I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.
There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction, At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像).People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears* “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together/' said Aragon.

A. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.
B.The reason why people cry with tears.

The Chinese host makes great,sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table,passing over both food and friends alike. 77 .However, it leaves many foreigners at a loss for what to do.

I need to wash my hands”.I would say. My mother would say,“Sure.” My father would often play a joke on me by saying, “79”.
As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible, If any sound was created by eating food or drinking, it would be considered as manners!

Children have their own rules in playing games. They don't care much about 86 wins or loses, and they don't seem to worry whether the same 87 (finish) or not when they leave.
Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck,so that, their personal abilities cannot be 88 (direct) compared They also enjoy games that ipove in stages in , 89 each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side 90 (start)) is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel 91 (puzzle) at,why their kids play such a simple game again and again.
However, it is found 92 a child plays games for very important reasons. He can find 93 (he) being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He can become a leader and give 94 (order) when it comes to his turn. In some games,he can pretend to be dead or to kiss someone he has caught. 95 appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.
