People have smoked for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe where smoking began to catch on. In the late 1800s, the Turk made cigarettes popular.

Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.

Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The US Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The US government now requires that each package of cigarettes bears a special warning about the danger of smoking.

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect.

Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.

"It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar," says scientist Richard Johnson. One- third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why? "Sugar, we believe, is one of the culprits, if not the major culprit," says Johnson.

Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.

So what is the solution? It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.

But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost. 

According to the passage, why is it so hard to avoid sugar? 

 

 

A. We like candy too much

B. It gives us needed energy. 

C. It's in so many foods and drinks. 

D. We get used to eating it at school.

Giải thích:

Phát biểu nào sau đây về đường là KHÔNG đúng?

  A. Đường làm cho chúng ta cảm thấy dễ chịu.

  B. Cơ thể chúng ta lưu trữ đường dưới dạng chất béo.

  C. Chúng ta cần rất ít để tồn tại.

  D. Chỉ người lớn mới cần ngừng ăn đường.

Thông tin:

- When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good.

- Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat.

Tạm dịch:

Khi chúng ta ăn hoặc uống thực phẩm có đường, đường xâm nhập vào máu và ảnh hưởng đến các bộ phận trong não khiến chúng ta cảm thấy dễ chịu.

Con người thời kỳ ngày xưa thường có rất ít thức ăn, vì vậy cơ thể chúng ta học được cách rất hiệu quả trong việc lưu trữ đường dưới dạng chất béo.

Chỉ có đáp án D không đúng.

Dịch bài đọc:

Nhiều nhà khoa học tin rằng tình yêu của chúng ta về đường thực sự có thể gây nghiện. Khi chúng ta ăn hoặc uống thực phẩm có đường, đường xâm nhập vào máu và ảnh hưởng đến các bộ phận trong não khiến chúng ta cảm thấy dễ chịu. Sau đó, cảm giác tốt đẹp biến mất, khiến chúng ta muốn nhiều hơn nữa. Tất cả các loại thực phẩm ngon có thể làm điều này, nhưng đường có tác dụng đặc biệt mạnh mẽ. Theo cách này, trên thực tế, đây là một loại thuốc gây nghiện, một loại mà các bác sĩ khuyên chúng ta nên cắt giảm.

"Có vẻ như mỗi lần tôi nghiên cứu về một căn bệnh và tìm ra con đường dẫn đến nguyên nhân đầu tiên, tôi lại tìm đường trở về với đường", nhà khoa học Richard Johnson nói. Một phần ba số người trưởng thành trên toàn thế giới bị huyết áp cao và có tới 349 triệu người mắc bệnh tiểu đường. Tại sao? "Đường, chúng tôi tin rằng, là một trong những thủ phạm, nếu không nói là thủ phạm chính," Johnson nói.

Cơ thể của chúng ta được thiết kế để tồn tại trên rất ít đường. Con người thời kỳ ngày xưa thường có rất ít thức ăn, vì vậy cơ thể chúng ta học được cách rất hiệu quả trong việc lưu trữ đường dưới dạng chất béo. Theo cách này, chúng ta đã dự trữ năng lượng khi không có thức ăn. Nhưng ngày nay, hầu hết mọi người có quá nhiều. Vì vậy, thứ từng cứu chúng ta bây giờ có thể đang giết chúng ta.

Vậy giải pháp là gì? Rõ ràng là chúng ta cần ăn ít đường. Vấn đề là, trong thế giới ngày nay, nó cực kỳ khó tránh. Từ ngũ cốc ăn sáng đến món tráng miệng sau bữa tối, thực phẩm của chúng ta ngày càng chứa đầy nó. Một số nhà sản xuất thậm chí sử dụng đường để thay thế hương vị trong thực phẩm được quảng cáo là ít chất béo.

Nhưng có những người đang chiến đấu chống lại đường. Nhiều trường học đang thay thế các món tráng miệng có đường bằng các lựa chọn lành mạnh hơn như trái cây. Các trường khác đang tự trồng thực phẩm trong vườn hoặc xây dựng các cơ sở như đường đi bộ để học sinh và những người khác trong cộng đồng có thể tập thể dục. Trận chiến vẫn chưa biến mất.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.

   That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful.

   The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

   Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

   A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge.

Question: How has science done to disservice to people?

A. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food

B. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetable

C. It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food

D. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated.
