THÓI QUEN ĂN CHAY

Cho đến gần đây, việc ăn chay khá phổ biến ở Anh và nó vẫn bị một số người coi là lạ. Nhưng kể từ những năm 1960, mức độ phổ biến của nó đã tăng lên rất nhiều, đến mức các cửa hàng trên đường phố cao cấp dự trữ rất nhiều sản phẩm cho người ăn chay. Những lý do mọi người đưa ra cho việc không ăn thịt là rất nhiều. Có lẽ hầu hết những người ăn chay làm điều đó vì lý do đạo đức, cho rằng việc giết chóc là sai. Quan điểm đối lập là việc chúng ta giết để lấy thức ăn là điều tự nhiên và chúng ta đã tiến hóa để làm như vậy. Tuy nhiên, có những xã hội mà việc ăn thịt không được phép vì nó chống lại tôn giáo của họ. Có những lý do tốt khác để từ bỏ thịt, một trong số đó là sự không hiệu quả của chăn nuôi. Một cánh đồng duy nhất của cây đậu nành thực sự có thể tạo ra lượng protein gấp 200 lần số lượng gia súc có thể được nuôi trên cùng một diện tích đất, vì vậy một thế giới chay có thể là một thế giới không có đói. Mặc dù về lý thuyết, chỉ ăn rau thì rẻ hơn, ăn chay phổ biến nhất ở các nước giàu hơn như Đức và Anh, nơi nhiều người loại trừ thịt vì lý do sức khỏe. Ở những nước này, ít nhất, nó trở thành vấn đề được lựa chọn hơn là điều cần thiết.

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 question.

        Most people start smoking when they are in their teens and are addicted by the time they reach adulthood. Some have tried to quit but have returned to cigarettes because smoking is such a strong addiction. It is a habit that is very difficult to break. There are many different reasons why people smoke.

        Three of the main reasons that young people smoke are to look mature, to be like their friends, and to experiment. Since teens see older people all around them smoking, especially their parents and relatives, they smoke to act older. If their friends or peers smoke, they may feel pressured into doing the same to be accepted. The last reason is the excitement of experimenting with something that is forbidden. In Massachusetts it is against the law for anyone under 18 years old to smoke. Usually parents do not allow their under age teens to smoke. Therefore, smoking becomes very attractive. It is exciting to get cigarettes and sneak away to smoke without being caught.

         Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of economic and personal problems. They may be unemployed or working but not making enough money to take care of themselves and their families. They may be homeless, or they may be dealing with alcohol or cocaine/heroin addictions. Some may be in bad marriages or relationships in which there is physical and/or verbal abuse. All these people may smoke to feel relaxed or to give them energy while going through a hard time.

        Whether young or old, some people smoke to control their weight. Smokers, on the average, weigh seven pounds less than non-smokers. Smoking reduces a person's appetite. It lessens his/her sense of taste and smell. This could be why ex-smokers gain weight after quitting cigarettes. Food tastes and smells so much better.

        Finally, there are people who say they love to smoke. Smoking gives them pleasure. It just makes them feel good.

Adults smoke for all of the following reasons EXCEPT________.

A. to deal with stress

B. to cope with financial difficulties 

C. to deal with relationship problems

D. to appear more mature

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. 

What is best title for this passage?

A. The food you eat can affect your health 

B. Harmful and Harmless substances in food 

C. Avoiding injurious substances in food 

D. Improving health through a Natural Diet

B. Các chất có hại và vô hại trong thực phẩm

C. Tránh các chất gây hại trong thực phẩm

D. Cải thiện sức khỏe thông qua chế độ ăn uống tự nhiên

Chọn A

Dịch bài đọc:

Thực phẩm chúng ta ăn dường như có ảnh hưởng sâu sắc đến sức khỏe của chúng ta. Mặc dù khoa học đã có những bước tiến lớn trong việc làm cho thực phẩm phù hợp hơn để ăn, nhưng đồng thời, nó đã làm cho nhiều loại thực phẩm không thể ăn được. Một số nghiên cứu đã chỉ ra rằng có lẽ tám mươi phần trăm tất cả các bệnh của con người có liên quan đến chế độ ăn uống và bốn mươi phần trăm ung thư cũng liên quan đến chế độ ăn uống, đặc biệt là ung thư ruột kết. Những người thuộc các nền văn hóa khác nhau dễ tiếp xúc với một số bệnh nhất định vì các loại thực phẩm đặc trưng mà họ tiêu thụ.

Thực phẩm đó có liên quan đến bệnh tật không phải là một khám phá mới. Năm 1945, các nhà nghiên cứu của chính phủ nhận ra rằng nitrat nitrit (thường được sử dụng để bảo quản màu trong thịt) cũng như các chất phụ gia thực phẩm khác gây ung thư. Tuy nhiên, các chất phụ gia gây ung thư này vẫn còn trong thực phẩm của chúng ta và việc trở nên khó khăn hơn trong việc biết thành phần nào trên nhãn bao bì của thực phẩm chế biến là hữu ích hay có hại.

Các chất phụ gia mà chúng ta ăn không phải là tất cả trực tiếp. Nông dân thường cung cấp penicillin cho gia súc và gia cầm và vì điều này, penicillin đã được tìm thấy trong sữa của những con bò được điều trị.

Đôi khi các loại thuốc tương tự được dùng cho động vật không phải vì mục đích y tế, mà vì lý do tài chính. Nông dân chỉ đơn giản là cố gắng vỗ béo các con vật để có được giá cao hơn trên thị trường. Mặc dù Cục Quản lý Thực phẩm và Dược phẩm Hoa Kỳ (FDA) đã cố gắng nhiều lần để kiểm soát các quy trình này, các thực hành vẫn tiếp tục.

Một chế độ ăn uống lành mạnh có liên quan trực tiếp đến sức khỏe tốt. Thông thường chúng ta không nhận thức được các chất bất lợi mà chúng ta ăn vào. Đôi khi nông dân có ý nghĩa tốt hoặc những người khác không nhận ra hậu quả sẽ thêm các chất này vào thực phẩm mà chúng ta không biết.
