   Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume（消耗） rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to（往往，倾向于） stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.

    According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed（挤出） between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.

   After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.

   In spite of（尽管） all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or  extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject（拒绝） older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.

【小题1】In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?

A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.

B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.

C．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.

【小题4】Where does this text probably come from?

   Next time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you might want to cool it down a bit before drinking.

Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer. Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65°C, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus（食道）. The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70℃ or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America.

In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks. However, this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages（饮料）at very high temperatures.

In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60℃. And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly. However, tea-drinkers in Iran often enjoy their beverages at temperatures close to 70℃.

The researchers found that South Americans not only drink their very hot beverages, they also drink them through a metal straw. This sends the scalding liquid directly into the throat.

The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers. In 1991, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed coffee as possibly carcinogenic（致癌的）. The WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink.

The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drink itself, that appears to be responsible.

【小题1】What might be the cause of esophageal cancer in developed countries?

A．Smoking.	B．Alcoholic drinks.
C．Unhealthy vegetables.	D．Hot drinks.

【小题2】Where do tea-drinkers liking adding milk come from?

A．China.	B．Iran.
C．The United States.	D．South Africa.

【小题3】What does the underlined word “scalding” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Sweet.	B．Cold.
C．Hot.	D．Tasteless.

【小题4】What can be learned from the passage?

A．Once the WHO thought coffee would cause cancer.

B．Drinks below 60℃ can cause esophageal cancer.

C．The temperature of the drink should not be the cause of cancer.

D．Drinking milk is a much healthier way to keep away from cancer.

   Michelin inspectors，the super secret spies of the restaurant industry，are the anonymous（匿名的）keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They've been writing anonymous reports of restaurants for over 100 years.

"We say it's a little like the CIA，"said inspector "M" with a laugh. She asked that her identity not be revealed. "My whole life is staying under the radar，staying away from cameras，using fake names，trying to steal in and out of restaurants quietly."

Along with their boss，Jean-Luc Naret，the director of the Michelin Guide，about 90 inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the cooking equivalent（等价物）of an Oscar，the Nobel Prize and Mega Millions jackpot（头奖）all at once. The Michelin Guide covers 23 countries，and out of the45，000 rated restaurants，less than 100 have the top rating — only nine American restaurants carry three stars.

If the name "Michelin" brings the tires on your car to mind，you're not too far off. The Michelin rating began in France in 1900 as a marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought their customers would buy more tires if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.

Inspector "M" admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. " Most of the time we dine alone，"she said. "It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and the atmosphere and capture the entire experience. "To cover their tracks，"M" said sometimes two inspectors will dine together and write two separate papers. It's better than saying "table for one"，right？

"When you're really，really into food and very crazy about food，everything else that's going on around you isn't so important，" she said.

【小题1】The underlined words "under the radar" in Paragraph 2 mean "___________"

A．living in danger

B．being the focus of the media

C．trying to be unnoticed

D．making programs on the radio

【小题2】The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to _____________.

A．open more hotels and restaurants

B．bring more convenience to drivers

C．make people familiar with "Michelin"

D．make a profit by selling more tires

【小题3】Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can ___________.

A．cut the expense on the food

B．protect their identities

C．save trouble by sharing a paper

D．talk about the food over the meal

【小题4】What would be the best title for the text？

A．"M" works for the CIA

B．The legend of Michelin brothers

C．Michelin inspectors: food industry spies

D．Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry
