There may be something in your food that you can't see and smell. But it could be killing you. It's called trans fat(反式脂肪).

Trans fat is usually taken from the hydrogenated( 氢化) vegetable oil. Food makers use this low-priced oil to make food stay fresh longer. It can be found in food such as cakes, fried food and so on. Studies have found that trans fat increases the risk of heart disease.

“Some countries have been stopping trans fat from being used, such as Denmark and a few states in the US. And it's really important that governments around the world change trans fat for healthier oils,” said Frieden, the head of the public health organization.

The WHO calls on governments to take some steps. These include changing trans fat for healthier oils, letting the public realize trans fat can have bad influence on people's health, and carrying out anti-tans fat laws.

If people stop eating foods made with trans fat, more than 17 million lives could be saved over the next 25 years.

1. Trans fat can be seen in our food according to the passage.
2. Trans fat is added to food because it can stop food from going bad.
3. Trans fat can't be used in Denmark and some states in the US.
4. The WHO asked governments to let the public know less about trans fat.
5. This article mainly tells us to stay away from trans fat.

【推荐2】If you go to a fast-food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”.

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eating unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a right meal for lunch.

Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:

★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.

★ Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure（高血压）in the future.

★ Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil, and sugar.

★ Teenagers need to eat some fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins（维生素）and have little fat.

The first public report on the novel coronavirus infection（传染） in China was the report of “unusual pneumonia (肺炎)” in Wuhan, Hubei province, at the end of December. At that time it was not identified as a coronavirus infection because it was a new disease.

A diagnosis (诊断) is like a piece of detective work. Experts try to match patterns between what a patient has and the patterns of known diseases. They then form a list of what is called “differential diagnoses”, and tests are conducted to confirm or refute (驳倒) certain diagnoses on that list.

When something doesn’t fit anything at all, it could be a new disease or an unusual pattern of some known disease.

Faced with (面对) a new disease, doctors face many difficulties and the task of diagnosing the disease is usually time- and energy-consuming（费时费力）.

One can look to the Minamata disease, a neurological (神经学的) disorder, first discovered in Japan in 1956. At first, it was believed to be an infectious disease. Eight months later, it was determined that the disease was a result of mercury (水银) pollution in a river caused by a factory upstream (在上游).

What this pandemic has taught us is the importance of cooperation (团结合作) among the people of the world. Assigning blame for the outbreak is not going to help in dealing with the crisis. International Cooperation in containing the spread of the virus and ultimately finding a cure is the answer.

As John Donne, an English writer of the 16th century, once said, “No man is an island, entire of himself.” Imagine for a moment that those in the wealthier countries manage to contain the virus, and no help is given to those in the poorer countries. Because we are all interconnected, the virus would still spread back to those rich nations.

China has initiated the overseas delivery of medical supplies and equipment to help fight the virus, only to earn suspicions of ulterior motives (别有用心).

After World War II, the United States sent a lot of food aid to Asia. Was that done on humanitarian grounds or motivated by soft-power ambitions? Instead of pointing fingers at each other, we must operate as one people helping one another.

If we don’t learn from our past mistakes, we are bound to repeat them. That would do great damage to the people of the world and be an affront (冒犯) to those who died in the pandemic.

1. Why do we say the novel coronavirus may be a new disease?

A．because it is hard to cure.	B．because it spreads quickly.
C．because it doesn’t match any known disease	D．because many people infect it easily.

2. The author takes the Minamata disease as an example to explain______.

A．finding a new disease is not easy

B．the novel coronavirus is an infectious disease。

C．diagnosing a new disease is usually time- and energy-consuming.

D．being a doctor is not easy.

3. The author cites(引用) an English writer’s words to tell us______.

A．rich countries must help poor countries.

B．all the people around the world should cooperate to fight against the disease.

C．every country should try to fight against the disease separately.

D．his words is to remind us that we live on the same globe.

4. According to the article, which statement is right?

A．diagnosing a new disease is like a piece of detective work.

B．the Minamata disease is an infectious disease.

C．China’s overseas support gets praises from all countries.

D．only by Internet cooperation, we can find a cure to the new disease.

5. This article mainly tells us_______.

A．why the novel coronavirus is new and how we should do.

B．what the novel coronavirus is.

C．how we test the novel coronavirus and find the cure to it.

D．where the novel coronavirus comes from
