17、e name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever. Sudan1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003.

18、products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled. Last week Sudans Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification of the origin of the dyes name. Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudans Embassy in China, explained the purpose of t
19、he inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye. We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there, she said. Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our co

They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name, she said. People found the dye in 1883 and
21、gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out.

They have
25、a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up w
26、ith Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of You Need It! Buy It Now! The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new
27、buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so.

29、thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that.

More than that, though, he has also interfered （干涉） with the invisible bonds between the living things in the forests. There are many examples
35、 of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of mans interference can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau （凯亚巴布高原） of northern Arizona.
