【推荐3】What kind of meat do you usually eat? Most of us eat chicken, pork or beef. But as the world’s population grows, more people will need protein. There won’t be enough meat for everyone. And raising more livestock (牲畜) will harm the environment. How can we solve this problem?

Scientists think that humans could eat more insects instead. Insects are healthy and nutritious. They have a lot of protein, healthy fats and vitamins. More importantly, they are less harmful to the environment. Farmers don’t need to clear forests to raise them. And raising insects will make fewer greenhouse gas emissions (排放) than raising cows.

Many scientists and food companies are trying to make food out of insects. For example, Australian scientists are making sausage out of maggots (蛆). In places like Paris and Mexico, you can find insect-based foods, such as fried flies and cricket (蟋蟀) soup.

Although you may think eating insects is gross, there are at least 2 billion people around the world who eat them, according to The Washington Post.

What if someone really hates eating insects?

• Farmers might feed chicken with insects instead of expensive fish or soybean meal.

• Food companies might make insect food in which insects cannot be seen. For example, crickets could be used to make flour.

【推荐3】March 21 is World Sleep Day. It reminds us to think about our sleeping habits and try to sleep better. How much do you know about sleep? Sally, Tom, Jack, John, Lucy and Ben are asking questions about sleep. Which of the following can best answer their questions?

    1    

—Nobody has the perfect answer to this question. Scientists did tests on rats. If rats don’t sleep for over four weeks, their bodies become colder and smaller. And later, they die.

    2    

—Different people need different amounts of sleep. Many surveys show that adults need to sleep about 7 to 8 hours a day. But younger people need more sleep. Doctors advise 10 hours for primary school students, nine for junior high students and eight for senior high school.

    3    

—Most of us dream every night. Sometimes you can remember your dreams. But if your sleep is deep enough, you may not remember your dreams.
