As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our
health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains,
fruit, and vegetables. Because of their diet, they have high rates of cancer and heart
disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amount of grains and very little meat.
The Japanese also have very low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the
Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when Japanese
people move to the United States, the rates of heart disease and cancer increase as
their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburger, ice-cream, and other high-fat foods
become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as
well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as
Cuba, Mauritius, and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these countries

are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere
advise people to eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer
dairy products.

EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE IS AIR
15
Earth’s atmosphere is made of a mix of gases called air. Air contains more nitrogen
than any other gas. Nitrogen makes up 78 percent of the air. Oxygen, the gas that is
most important for keeping you alive, makes up 21 percent. Earth is the only planet
to have so much Oxygen in its atmosphere . Water vapor and other gases are also
present in small amounts in Earth’s atmosphere.
The pull of gravity holds the atmosphere in place. Without gravity, the air in Earth’s

atmosphere would float off into space. Gravity is the force that also keeps you from
floating away from Earth.
Notice :
Gravity : Throng long
Water vapor : hoi nook
