21、limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year. The headlines now? Its time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount

22、 of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average persons diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶). But wait!

So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales ( 大捆 ) on his land. They have tried t

30、o fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that Californias building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Councils code conn

31、nittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material. It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, an

32、d is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAng

33、eles in 1994. There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenb

34、erg observes, “the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isnt to avoid straw.

38、 Public Relations manager the other day about “The Game Trainers“ and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games. These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children, he t

39、old me. This statement highlighted many of his assumptions. He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these “serious people with serious jobs“ could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to

40、 flow more freely through “games“. His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a “game“ is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what “work“ nmst look like for it to be considered of value. Its not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful compani

41、es of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun， creativity and innovation.

The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man,

43、its a good thing that they are “serious people with serious jobs“, because we also are extremely serious about play, and in todays environment they simply cannot afford not to play games.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the PR manager think of the authors proposal of playing games? （分数：2.00）A.It is against t
