【推荐2】Salted fish, a kind of common food, is popular in the south of China. It is chewy(有嚼劲的)and adds a salty flavor to other dishes. But eating too much salted fish can cause cancer.
Salted fish is produced with a large amount of salt, which later turns into nitrites(亚硝酸盐). When nitrites reach our stomach, they turn into another kind of chemical(化学物质)that can cause cancer, Huang Yufang from the Cancer Center of Guangzhou Medical University told Xinhua News Agency.
So does this mean we can’t eat salted fish any more? “People don’t need to worry too much. It has to do with how often you eat certain food and how much of them you eat,” Huang said. If you really like eating salted fish, you can eat a small amount once or twice a month. Meanwhile, you should also eat more fruit and vegetalbes that are rich in vitamin C(维他命C), as this can help to prevent the formation(形成)of nitrites.
In fact, there are many kinds of foods that are thought to cause cancer, such as fried chicken and even red meat, such as pork, lamb and beef. But it doesn’t mean a person will get cancer just by eating them, according to the World Health Organization.
Cancer is caused by different factors, such as one’s genes(基因), environment, lifestyle and eating habits. “As long as one has a balanced diet, one doesn’t need to avoid cancer-causing food at all.” Fang Yu, a doctor from the Beijing Cancer Hospital, told People’s Daily.

London SW6
3RD October
Dear David,
How are you? I’m fine. I’m in London, at the International School of English. I’m in Class 3 with eight students. They are from different countries—Spain, Japan, Argentina, (阿根廷), Switzerland and Thailand. Our teacher’s name is Henry Briscall. He’s very nice. He’s a very good teacher.
I’m living with an English family. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have three children. Thomas is fourteen, Catherine is twelve, and Andrew is seven. They are all very friendly, but it isn’t easy to understand them!
London is very big and very interesting. The weather is good—cold but sunny and the parks are beautiful! Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James’ Park are all in the city centre.
English food is OK, but the coffee is horrible! (可怕的)
Yours,
Paula
