A
Sweet or salty? What kind of tastes do you like? If like me, you have a sweet tooth and you probably can't resist eating cakes, biscuits or chocolate and will sweeten your tea or coffee with spoonfuls of sugar—delicious! But the taste makes it very easy to ignore the warnings that too much of the white stuff is bad for our health.
Consuming sugar is an addiction—the more we eat, the more we want. Today's processed food, like ready meals, is related to the stuff and many fizzy (起泡的) drinks contain seven teaspoons of sugar in just one can. In the UK, statistics show that sugar consumption is at its highest level in history and the government is trying to get the food industry to cut the amount of sugar in popular products like chocolate bars by 20% by 2020.
Of course, sugary food tastes nice, it can help lift our mood, and a part in it can refresh us. But there are dangers too: a high-sugar diet is linked to putting on weight, and being overweight can increase the risk of getting type 2 diabetes (糖尿病). With these warning signs, I have considered changing my diet by replacing sugary snacks with fruit and salty biscuits—but that's boring!
I'm not alone. BBC journalist Radhika Shanghani, has gone one step further. Encouraged by some well-knowns and nutritionists promoting a ‘zero tolerance' approach to sugar, she gave it up altogether, thinking it would make her healthier. Initially she says,“My first fortnight involves mood swings. I have disturbing headaches and feel permanently hungover.” These symptoms disappeared but she still found food shopping hard as she was stressing about buying the right things.
Her experiment wasn't a success. She eventually sought advice from Susan Jebb, professor of diet and population health at Oxford University who said:“Lots of people enjoy sugar and gain pleasure from it, so one has to find a balance between enjoyment and eating the right amount.”

A.Reject sweet cakes. B.Have his coffee black.
C.Add sugar to his drinks. D.Remember the harm of sweet food.

A.Sugar consumption is all bad for us.

D.Chocolate bars are popular with the British.
3.Why does the author want to change his diet?

Ⅱ.七选五
Many countries have traditional dishes, made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way. 1 , and when tourists visit, these are the foods they want to try. But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas?
Traditional ingredients
Typical recipes are usually made with native plant and animal products. For example, Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot, wet areas. In contrast, wheat grows well in drier areas, like the Middle East, where bread is a common staple (主要的) food. 2 , whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals.
Food preservation
Local cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage. In warm weather, meat and fish can go off quickly, so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later. 3 . For that reason, modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.
Cooking techniques
4 . In China, people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water. In Morocco, people cook traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine, while in parts of India, people use a large oven, called a tandoor. And some local dishes aren't cooked at all.
Imported ingredients
Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally came from another place. 5 , while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes. However, all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But now they are common around the world.
A.Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areas
B.There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost
C.Many different cooking techniques are used around the world
D.For example, Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers
