25、 has become aware of the need to change its eating habits, because much of the food we cat, particularly processed foods, is not good for our health. Conversely, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been grown using chem

26、ical fertilizers widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamin

27、s and minerals. This type of farming is a natural process compared to farming with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amountbut not the qualityof goods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to fee

28、d and move freely in a healthy environment. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are mechanized farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way

29、are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet.

30、an actually be harmful, and it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, the fibe

31、r has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis has been placed on the eat

32、ing of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating“. 41 The main purpose of this article is to _. （ A） show the difference between processed foods and natural ones （ B） explain how natural foods may be better for us （ C） compare the difference between processed foods an

But a survey of 200 salary men aged 20 40 in Tokyo, conducted by the Marketing Bureau of Nippon Co. in August 1996, found that as much as 65 percent attach priority(优先考虑

38、 ) to a relaxed life. For them, “mental health“ comes before “stressful work“. By contrast those who prefer to work hard even under stress accounted for only 35 percent. By age bracket(分类 ), there were remarkable differences. Half of the salary men in their forties declared they wouldnt avoid stress

39、ful work, whereas a relaxed life was the choice of 76 percent of those in their twenties. How do they get rid of stress? “Drinking“ and “engaging in sports“ were mentioned by most in both the “relaxed“ and “stressful“ groups.

46、bove item. Your delegation also had the opportunity to personally listen to the comments of individual dealers. We now summarize the market position as follows.

47、oses. Consumption of this product is mostly limited to hotels, restaurants, some offices, and a very small fraction of private households.
