Telling the Whole Food Truth As a teacher of whole-food vegetarian cookery, I do feel a

certain sympathy with the ‘Men for Meat’ group. There is both confusion and just plain,
unappetizing cooking in this area, when a whole-food/ vegetable diet should and can be highly
nutritious and utterly delicious.
The words ‘whole-food’ and ‘vegetarian’ are not synonymous: vegetarians do not eat any
‘fish, flesh or fowl’. Most eat dairy products. Those who don’t are called vegans. I tell students not
to turn vegetarian until they have become knowledgeable about nutrition, and especially about
protein. It’s very easy to become a sick vegetarian.
And a whole-food diet just consists of eating the whole of food, with nothing added, and
nothing taken away. For example, you eat whole-wheat flour, not white flour, which has had had
bleach added. In all, no refined carbohydrates are eaten and very fatty and additive-laden foods are
avoided and the stress is on fresh products of the best quality. And that’s all - except you must then
find recipes which are both healthy and delicious because you’ll have to cook it all yourself. Very
few ready-bought meals fulfill both requirements.
16. A whole food diet _____.
A. has a lot of nutrition

B. is easy to eat

C. is added with flour.

D. is often fresh

17. According to the writer, what is wrong with ready bought meals for vegetarians?
A. They can be cooked easily.
B. They can’t be both healthy and delicious.
C. They contain some additives.
D. They have best quality.
18. What is NOT true about the writer?
A. She supports the whole food.

B. She is a teacher.

C. She dislikes ready bought meal

D. She is a vegetarian.

Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know much about them. For example,
there are about 350 species of sharks that live in oceans over the world. All of the sharks are
carnivores, but most of them don't attack people. Some sharks are very small - the smallest shark is
about 6 inches long - about as long as your hand. But some sharks are very large. The largest
species of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons. Unlike many other kinds offish, sharks do
not have bone. Their bodies are made up of a kind of tough white flexible material (called cartilage).
Sharks do not have ears. However, they 'hear' sounds and movements in the water. Any sound or
movement makes the water vibrates. Sharks can feel these vibrations, and they help the sharks find
food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often
hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the middle of the night.
Nowadays scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons, For example, cancer is
common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists want to find

out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people prevent cancer too.
