irradiating（照射）fruits, vegetable, pork and chicken to kill insects and bacteria has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration over the past decade or so.Irradiation of other meats, such as beef and lamb,is being reviewed.Federal approval dose not require that industry adopt the process,and few food processors presently offer irradiated products.
Market studies have shown that many consumers are afraid that eating irradiated food may cause cancer,despite scientific studies that prove the safety of treated food.Some people argue that more severe government inspection,higher food-safety standards,and more careful food-preparation practices by consumers are all that is needed to ensure that food is safe.Consequently,companies currently see no need to spend millions of dollars outfitting（配备）processing plants with the equipment necessary for a process that very few shoppers are in favor of.
All supermarkets that sell irradiated food must label that food either directly on the packaging or in the case of bulk items like fruits and vegetables by placing a sign nearby. There is no requirement for the labeling of irradiated food served by chain restaurants or hospitals that buy directly from distributors,nor any regulations for products that contain irradiated ingredients.
Presently,the FDA allows food to be treated with three types of radiation一gamma rays,highenergy electrons,and X-rays,and sets limits on doses（辐射量）depending on the type of food. The principle is that the dose to be used for a certain type of food should not exceed the amount that is sufficient to kill most harmful insects and bacteria present in it.Different types of food,because of their different molecular（分子）compositions,may require different doses of radiation.

Which of the following best reflects the content of the passage?
A:Although FDA does not approve irradiated food,consumers accept irradiated food.
B:Neither FDA approves irradiated food,nor do consumers accept irradiated food.
C:FDA approves irradiated food to some extend,but irradiated food is not widely accepted.
D:Both FDA and consumers think that irradiated food is not safe.

Food Poisoning

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things,A person who eats such food can get an illness called
food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious,but some types are deadly.The symptoms of food poi-
soning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms
can poison eggs,meat,vegetables,and many other foods.After entering the body,these tiny living things re-
lease（释放）poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown,pro-
cessed,or prepared.For example,many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.Some
people may have a bad reaction to those chemical、when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.These includo certain kinds
of seafood,grains,nuts,seeds,beans,and mushrooms.
When people handle food properly,the risk of food poisoning is very small.Microorganisms multiply rapidly
in dirty places and in warm temperatures.This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or
put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing,
Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered
with chemicals before eating it.Finally,people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the
wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition,some types
of fish can be poisonous.
Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people
eat natural poisons,they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

From Paragraph 5,we can learn that_______________.
A:mushrooms should not he eaten
B:vegetables are safer than meat and seafood
C:natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals
D:different types of food should he handled differently

Drying Ways for Food

1.Centuries ago,man discovered that removing moisture from food helps to preserve it,and that the easiest way to do this is to expose the food to sun and wind.In this way the North American Indians produce pemmican(dried meat ground into powder and made into cakes),the Scandinavians make stockfish and the Arabs dried dates and"apricot leather".
2.All foods including water,cabbage and other leaf vegetables contain as much as 93%water, potatoes and other root vegetables 80%,lean meat 75%and fish,anything from 20%to 60%,depending on how fatty it is.If this water is removed,the activity of the bacteria which causes food to go bad is checked.
3.Fruit is sun-dried in Asia Minor,Greece,Spain and other Mediterranean countries,and also in California,South Africa and Australia. The methods used vary, but in general,the fruit is spread out on trays in drying yards in the hot sun.In order to prevent darkening,pears,peaches and apricots are exposed to the fumes of burning sulfur before drying. Plums,for making prunes, and certain varieties of grapes for making raisins and currants,are dipped in an alkaline solution in order to crack the skins of the fruit slightly and remove their wax coating,so as to increase the rate of drying.
4.Nowadays most foods are dried mechanically.The conventional method of such dehydration is to put food in chambers through which hot air is blown at temperatures of about 110℃at entry and to about 43℃at exit. This is the usual method for drying such things as vegetables,minced meat, and fish.
5.Liquids such as milk,coffee,tea,soups and eggs may be dried by pouring them over a heated steel cylinder,by spraying them into a chamber through which a current of hot air passes.In the first case,the dried material is scraped off the roller as a thin film which is then broken up into small,though still relatively coarse flakes.In the second process,it falls to the bottom of the chamber as a fine powder. Where recognizable pieces of meat and vegetables are required,as in soup, the ingredients are dried separately and then mixed.
6.Dried foods take up less room and weigh less than the same food packed in cans or frozen, and they do not need to be stored in special conditions.For these reasons they are invaluable to the climbers,explorers and soldiers in battle,who have little storage space.They are also popular with housewives because it takes so little time to cook them.Usually it is just a case of replacing the dried-out moisture with boiling water.

Paragraph 4______
A:Drying Fruit in the Traditional Way.
B:Food Drying Histrory.
C:Water in Food.
D:Drying of Liquid Food.
E:Advantages of Dry Food.
F: Mechanical Food Dehydration.
