We eat for many different reasons but not always for the right reason. Most people choose to eat something just 26 the food tastes delicious. 27 , if we choose based 28 taste alone, regardless of nutrition(營養(yǎng)) or healthy eating habits, then gaining weight is inevitable. Changing your eating habits means 29 you need to look at the nutritional value as well as the amount of fat.
Healthy eating habits come from eating foods that are low 30 fat. Learn to read labels so that you can make good decisions; every 31 (package) food product has a label that tells you the nutritional value, 32 number of calories and fat content.
Eating habits usually stay the same as we grow from childhood to adulthood. 33 (fortune), our metabolism(新陳代謝)tends 34 (slow) down as we get older. If you are raised on sugar and high-fat foods, the amount of fat keeps building as you get older 35 the cycle is broken by good eating habits or exercise, and perfectly both.

A new college guide in the United States compares educational requirements in seven subjects. These include math, science, writing and United States history or government. The other subjects are economics, foreign language and literature.
The free online guide is from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. The council is a nonprofit group that supports liberal arts education.
Its president, Anne Neal, says these areas of knowledge are needed to succeed in a twenty-first century society and an increasingly connected world. Yet she told VOA’s Faiza Elmasry it was surprising how many students can graduate with, in her words, a “thin education.”
Forty-two of the one hundred colleges and universities surveyed received the lowest marks. This meant they required two or fewer of the seven subjects. Five schools received a top grade for requiring six subjects. These were Brooklyn College in New York City, Texas A&M, the University of Texas-Austin, West Point and the University of Arkansas.
Robert Costrell is a professor of education reform and economics at the University of Arkansas. He says many, if not all, of the top American colleges once had a core curriculum —a set of courses required for all students.
But over the years, many have dropped these requirements. Or they have watered them down, Professor Costrell says, into what became known as distribution requirements. This system lets a student choose from a number of different courses to satisfy a requirement.
ROBERT COSTRELL: “And in many cases these courses went too far, I would say, towards the fluffy treatment of serious material, and students could satisfy their requirement by taking such courses.”
Professor Costrell says schools should not only re-examine what they teach. They should also measure what students have learned — for example, through some form of examinations or papers.
A new report this week from the College Board showed that college prices continue to rise. But Anne Neal from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni says higher prices do not guarantee a better general education. In fact, the group found that the higher the tuition, the more likely that students have to develop their own general education.
The college guide is on the Web at whatwilltheylearn.com. Anne Neal says her group is surveying more colleges. The hope, she says, is to discover what college graduates have really learned, and how ready they are to compete in the global marketplace.
67. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A scientific fiction. B. A research newspaper.
C. A fashion magazine. D. An entertainment newspaper.
68. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni does all the following EXCEPT _________.
A. support liberal arts education
B. concern itself with education in America
C. devote time to helping improve college education
D. make money by helping with college education
69. The words “watered them down” underlined in Paragraph 6 most likely mean “_______.”
A. reduced required courses B. improved required courses
C. increased required courses D. developed required courses
70. In this passage, the new college guide mainly tells its readers that American colleges should ______.
A. meet the requirements of the new century
B. reduce the number of required courses
C. have different standards on required courses
D. cut down on their tuitions

D
Film cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way.
Film cameras
After all, a film camera is basically a light – proof (不透光的) box. It has a lens (鏡頭) system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera.
Let’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog. We are using a film camera. We finally get the dog to lie still. You point the camera at him. What happens? Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter. In other words, nothing happens yet. Now let’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture. What happens? When you press the button, the shutter open for a very short period of time. A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera. This creates an upside-down and reversed (反向的)image on the film.
When you finish the roll of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog!
Cameras come with different lens lengths. Why does it matter? Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths, which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera. This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of. Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger. They are often called telephoto lenses. A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them.
Digital cameras
In digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor (傳感器)called a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). This digitally converts(轉(zhuǎn)變) light and colour into a digital information or pixels (象素). The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part ---- depending on how good it is.
67.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Both digital and film cameras focus light onto the film.
B.All cameras have a sensor.
C.Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common. .
D.Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths.
68.In the “Film cameras” part, you fail to take the picture of the dog because _____.
A.light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter
B.you haven’t aimed the camera at the dog
C.the image of the dog is not created
D.the sensor fails to convert light and colour into a digital information
69.The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is that _ ___.
A.they use digital cameras B.the lens of their cameras is excellent
C.their focus lenses are short D.their focus lenses are long
70.Generally speaking, a digital camera’s price is ____.
A.closely related to the quality of the CCD
B.irrelevant to the quality of the CCD
C.closely related to the lens
D.irrelevant to the lens
