Potatoes are very popular today. But in the past this was not true. Potatoes grew in
30、 South America five thousand years ago. But they only became popular in other places two hundred years ago. In the 1500s, the Spanish took the potato from South America to Europe. But the people in Europe did not like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that if you ate potatoes your skin wou
31、ld look like the skin of a potato. Other people could not believe that you ate the underground part of the plant. So they ate the leaves instead. This made them sick because mere is poison(毒性 )in the leaves. In the 1800s, people in other parts of the world started to eat potatoes. In Ireland, potato
32、es became the main food. Then, in 1845, a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger. Today, each country has its own potato dish.

36、on raw, which means, “uncooked“ meat and bones. William Burk, a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration(FDA), believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers: besides, raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition(
37、营养 )that a pet needs every day. Recognizing how popular these foods are, the FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods that contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats, and other pets. The guidelines give rules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition
38、. Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers, says Burk. Just as when preparing foods for humans, use hot water and soap to wash hands, containers, and surfaces that come into contact(接触 )with the food. Dont pu
39、t your hands near your mouth until you ve washed them, and dont allow your pet to touch your face right after it has eaten meat. If owners choose to feed bones to their pets, they should watch their pet carefully when it is eating bones. Burk also says, “If the pet eats a big piece of bone that wont
40、 pass through the digestive system(消化系统 ), it could kill the pet. “ 63 What does William Burk think of feeding pets on raw? （ A） Itll make the pet owners sick. （ B） Itll cause the death of other pets. （ C） It s against the policy of the FDA. （ D） It s dangerous and lack of nutrition. 64 Why did the
41、FDA provide guidelines for producers of pet foods with raw meat? （ A） The quality of pet foods has dropped. （ B） Most pets have been lack of nutrition. （ C） Pet safety has become a serious problem. （ D） Feeding pets on raw has become popular. 65 Those who feed pets on raw should do all the necessary

43、es. （ C） Pets should be fed with small pieces of bone. （ D） Pets should be checked on the digestive system. 66 There are some objects in the sky that move so quickly that sometimes you only see them out of the corner of your eye. These are some of the huge number of bits of rock and dust that are fl
44、oating around in space, called meteoroids. Normally, we cannot see them at all, but if they travel too close to the Earth, they get caught by the pull of the Earth, and begin to fall towards us. They fall faster and faster, until they hit our atmosphere(大气层 ), by which time they are going so fast th
45、at they begin to burn up, and all that you see is a flash of light that moves very quickly across the sky and disappears. These shooting stars, or meteors as they are properly called, are quite common , and sometimes you may see several in a night. Most meteoroids are very small bits indeed, and the
46、y burn up long before they get to the Earth. However, a very few do manage to get all the way through the atmosphere, and actually fall to the ground. Usually they do not do much damage, although this is not always the case. Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called meteorites. M
