4 . The food we eat every day keeps us alive, but it can also increase health and environmental costs-heart disease, carbon emissions, and more. For years, health researchers focused on their priorities while environmental scientists were on theirs. And it became increasingly obvious that what we eat is closely connected with planet’s health.

So the researchers of a recent study at the University of Michigan built a system that combined both concerns, looking at health and environmental impacts of specific foods.

The researchers looked at the nutritional makeup of nearly 6000 foods. A hot dog would probably cost someone about 35 minutes of living; but eating most fruits might help someone gain a few extra minutes. In the calculations, apple pie is just about neutral — some boost from the apples, some losses from butter, flour, and sugar.

At the same time, the researchers evaluated the environmental effects of those thousands of food items. They studied different ways the environment absorbed food production’s impact as well.

When researchers looked at both issues at once, an exciting pattern emerged. Many foods good for people’s health were also relatively gentle on the environment. Not surprisingly, beans, vegetables-not those grown in greenhouses, though-and some sustainably farmed seafood like catfish fell in what they termed the “green” zone. “Amber” zone foods, like milk, egg-based foods and greenhouse-grown vegetables balanced health and environmental costs. “Red” zone foods, which included beef, pork, lamb and processed meats, had high health and environmental costs.

There’s no replacement for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. Food choices are personal, deeply connected to culture, religion, emotion, economic concerns, and so much more. “We aim to inform people so that they can make choices that fit with their needs and values.” says Olivier Jolliet one of the researchers. “We don’t all have to adopt a vegetarian diet overnight.” he says. “Small changes can make big impacts.”

6 . 阅读下面材料。根据其内容和所给段落开头请续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Grace was 8 years old when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother Jack, only a baby. He was very sick and they were struggling to make their ends meet. Only a very costly operation could save Jack, but there was no one to lend them the money. She heard her dad say to her tearful mom, “Only a miracle can save him now.”

Hearing the word, Grace went to her bedroom, took all the coins from her little money box and counted it carefully. After counting the coins three times, She slipped out of the room and made her way to the drug store.

She wanted for a long time before the female pharmacist (药剂师) turned around and asked her, “What do you want?”

“Well, it’s about my brother,” Grace answered, “He’s really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.”

“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.

“His name is Jack. And he has something very bad growing inside his body. And my dad says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”

“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I am sorry. I can’t help you.” the pharmacist said

“I have the money to pay for it.” With these words, Grace poured out all the coins from her pocket.

At this time, a well-dressed man in uniform from Chicago hospital asked the little girl. “I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”

“47 cents.” Grace answered in a low voice. “That’s all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.”

“Well.” smiled the man, “47 cents is the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where you live.”
