Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes (糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke (中风).
New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt. I use in cooking. The suggested daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you try not to eat too many processed (加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t reach more than the daily level.
The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt bottle, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.
| A．white people | B．black people |
| C．untreated diseases | D．high blood pressure and diabetes |
What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?
| A．Black people take in too much salt. |
| B．Black people’s meals are very special. |
| C．Processed foods have too much salt in them. |
| D．6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult. |
What would the writer probably suggest black people do?
| A．Order no salad in a restaurant. | B．Take in no salt for several days. |
| C．Stop cooking their favorite meals. | D．Eat less takeaways. |
The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to _______.
| A．thank those who came to his home for his research |
| B．let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier |
| C．show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home |
| D．prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is |
What would be the best title for this passage?
| A．Watch the salt | B．Take care, black people |
| C．Say no to takeaways | D．Say no to high blood pressure |
Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food any more,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”
