FoodThe U. S. food supply is the most varied and abundant in the world. Americans spend a smaller share of their disposable income on food than citizens of any other country and choose from an average of 50,000 different food products on a typical outing to the supermarket. In 1994, the fowl supply provided an estimated 3,800 calories per person per day, enough to supply every American with more than one and a half times their average daily energy needs. Given this abundance, few of the Nations resources have traditionally been devoted to measuring or reducing food waste.In recent years, growing concern about hunger, resource conservation, and the environmental and economic costs associated with food waste have raised public awareness of food loss. This in turn has accelerated public and private efforts to make better use of available, food supplies by recovering safe and nutritious food that would otherwise be wasted.Of course, not all food that is lost is suitable for consumption. Some losses like the condemnation of diseased animals at the slaughtering house (屠宰场), or the discard of rotten fruit from the produce shelf at the supermarket are necessary to ensure the safetyand health of the U. S. food supply. Such foods are not recoverable for human use.Likewise, plate fragments are appropriately discarded at eating establishments out of health considerations. In addition, not all food that is lost is economically recoverable. Food recovery efforts are often limited by financial restraints that make it difficult to match recovered food with potential recipients.Nevertheless, large quantities of healthy, edible food are lost at every stage of the marketing system. Example of such losses include meats, bread, and other foods prepared by a restaurant or hotel but never served and the discard of defected or over-ripe .produce, which maybe difficult to sell out for some reasons, but are otherwise nutritious and safe. The problem in America that the author is talking about in this passage is large amounts of food are lost in American().

Colds are very common. The symptoms of the common cold include a sore throat, runny nose, stuffed-up nose, and tiredness. Colds are caused by viruses, but scientists cannot explain the exact cause. There is no cure. Many people, however, believe that they know the causes of and cures for the common cold. For example, they believe that it is possible to get a cold if we get chilled, if we get extra tired, or if we are too close to a person with a cold. In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry; we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds. Meanwhile, there are probably hundreds of " cures" throughout the world for the common cold. For example, the following suggestions are popular in quite a number of societies : (1) drink plenty of water; (2) get extra rest; (3) take a lot of vitamin C; (4) take aspirin; (5) keep warm. Each year people spend a lot of money on cold medicines-pills, liquids, lozenges (含片). But these medicines do not cure colds; they can only relieve cold symptoms. In other words, they make us feel better. Which of the following is NOT a "cure" for the common cold
A. Take a lot of vitamin C.
B. Drink plenty of water.
C. Get more rest.
D. Put on as many clothes as possible.

Also, blood pressure (60) for healthy people during different times of the day and under different. (61) . It is lower when an individual is asleep than when he is excited or exerting himself physically. Therefore, a single blood-pressure reading above 140/90 does not (62) abnormality.
