Passage Three
No country in the world has more daily newspaper than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times exert a powerful influence all over the country. However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that the Times is in Britain of le Monde in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and gossip, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the lure of television.
Just as American newspapers cater for all tastes, so do they also try and appeal to readers of ail political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of differing political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.

The New York Times is （）

A:one of the national newspapers in America B:one of the most famous daily papers in America C:the daily paper of New York City D:both B and C

The primary consideration in achieving a balanced diet is now how much or how little we eat, but what we eat. Basically we need carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals, together with regular but not excessive exercise.
Carbohydrates are found in foods such as bread, potatoes and sugar. They are excellent energy products, but if eaten to excess may be largely converted to fat and a reduction in the amount of carbohydrates or "starchy: foods is one of the obvious ways to reduce weight, since most of us eat too much of them anyway.
Protein, found in meat and cheese, is used for tissue building and in the developed countries most people eat about 110g daily, which is a good deal more than the recommended minimum of 70g a day. Animal fats, e. g. butter are also good sources of energy, but are sometimes held to caus increased cholesterol levels in the blood (which may lead to fatty deposits in the arteries) and are therefore best avoided by people suffering from certain forms of heart disease, vegetable fats being recommended as a substitue.
Vitamins are another essential requirement for health. There are about forty known vitamins, but the most generally referred to are A, B, C, D and E, Deficiency of Vitamin A, found in carrots, rose - hips, etc. , is alleged (据称) to affect the vision and the skin and reduce resistance to infection. Vitamin C, present in nearly all fruit, particularly oranges and other citrus fruit, has come to be regarded as particularly effective in the prevention of cold and low energy states.
Among the minerals we need, the most important are calcium, iron and iodinc (碘). Milk is one of the richest sources of calcium, which helps to build our bones and our teeth. Lack of iron in the blood produces anaemia anay children and others suffering from anaemic conditions are generally advised to increase their intake of iron, which: may be found in liver, lentils, molasses and dates among other foods.
The recommended minimum amount of protein that one should take in is ______.

A:110g daily. B:70g daily. C:40g daily. D:180g daily.

Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
From this researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 per cent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 per cent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 per cent of the time.
"Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health." lead researcher Dr. Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. "The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors. And the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged."
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
"If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor," Grzywacz says. "Maybe it is just life."
stressful adj. 紧张的;压力重的
diploma n. 毕业文凭,毕业证书
stressor n. 紧张刺激物
devastating adj. 毁灭性的
