21、ere eating way too much salt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.The headlines now

22、? Its time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average persons diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶).But wait! The benefit

23、s of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food-and the results have pointed in eve3 direction.

29、 not have to take sodium too seriouslyPassage ThreeThere is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of

30、straw bales ( 大捆 ) on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that Californias building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the

31、 United States Green Building Councils code connnittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a w

32、aste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion record

33、ed in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAngeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to

34、adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenberg observes, the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isnt to avoid straw. Its that you dont let a pig build your house.26、By the cards were stacked against Warren Brush, the author means that BrashA received punishment B made a breakthroughc would be in tro

37、y not fine Warren Brash30、The authors purpose in writing the passage is toA show that straw can be used to build housesB highlight the prejudice against straw housesC explain how to build a house with strawD introduce a new building materialPassage FourI was talking with a senior Public Relations ma

38、nager the other day about The Game Trainers and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games.These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children, he told me. This statement

39、highlighted many of his assumptions.He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these serious people with serious jobs could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to flow more freely through

40、games.His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a game is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what work nmst look like for it to be considered of value. Its not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful companies of the last decade, including

41、Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun， creativity and innovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a 9 to 5 work time. Instead they have flowing and flexible work

42、 spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures.The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man, its a good thing that they are ser
