22、Quickly ask yourself: What did you eat today? Now tell me how you actually feel. If you’re complaining of stress, anxiety, depression, aches and pains, foggy thinking, or just a general lack of energy, a new medical theory will blow your mind. The chances are that those disease-like symptoms are all the result of what’s called hidden food allergies(过敏反应).
This is what Ken Drew found out when he was lucky enough to be recommended to medical practitioner Dr. Patel. Patel is considered something of a genius, and has been called a modern day Louis Pasteur. You’ve heard of him, of course—Pasteur figured out how to keep milk from getting spoiled. Dr. Patel is like a Louis Pasteur for keeping your body from getting spoiled from chronic(慢性的) diseases.
“Foggy thinking, slightly constipated(便秘的), heart pain,…you name it. It’s part of getting old,” you say. “It’s just stress.” Most of the body’s immune defenses are all located in your stomach, so when you have a hidden food allergy and you expose yourself to harmful foods, your defenses malfunction(故障) and disease-carrying bacteria take over. Had you not eaten that one food you were allergic to for breakfast, you would never have got sick.
Together, Dr Patel and Ken Drew have developed the Reverse My Disease program, which claims it can bulletproof your body against diseases like arthritis(关节炎), Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart disease and cancers. You won’t need a prescription and there isn’t any kind of medical procedure involved. There’s no medical jargon, no complicated diet to do. What it does do is claim to tell you how to hack your body’s natural defense system.
Dr. Patel has remained under the radar of the entire medical establishment because his ideas are so threatening to doctors who don’t want you to stop being sick enough for them to write you prescriptions. Those doctor visits cost you, so check out Reverse My Disease if you want to prevent disease by learning how to eat food that won’t harm your body.
【1】We can learn from the passage that Louis Pasteur ________.
A. made great contributions to keeping human body from getting spoiled from chronic diseases.
B. has developed the Reverse My Disease program with Dr. Patel.

23、How an advertisement is put together
When you read an advertisement there are many factors you should consider, including:
target audience
brand names
slogans
pictures and colour
special offers/coupons
emotive/persuasive vocabulary
Target audience
Advertisers aim particular products at different groups of people according to age, sex, social class and interests. They will often make assumptions about people and label or stereotype them.
Who do you think these products would be aimed at: nappies, diamonds, mint chocolates, sports cars?
What kind of products would be aimed at these people: teenagers, 25-year-old single men, 40-year- old working mums?
Brand names
Brand names are chosen carefully. They can suggest particular lifestyles, values or interests and are intended to appeal to the target audience.
Nissan Primera: this suggests quality. Primera is similar to premium and premier.
Ford Ka: the spelling of Ka suggests novelty and simplicity. It is modern and futuristic. It is also bound to stick in your mind when you are looking for a new car!
Slogans
A slogan has to be catchy and memorable. Slogans use a range of devices: alliteration, repetition, puns, questions, personal pronouns and humour.
Have a break. Have a Kit Kat. Repetition
The totally tropical taste. Alliteration
Picture and colour
All pictures try to make you feel something and most are biased, even photographs. They create a view of what the world is like using different tricks such as lighting and colour.
Different colours have different associations that can be linked to particular products.
Yellow: freshness, sunlight, lemons. This colour would be good for advertising washing up liquid.
Green: countryside, natural, healthy. What would you use this colour for ?
What do you associate these colours with: red, black, orange, gold, blue?
Special offers/coupons
Advertisers often appear to offer something for nothing’: if you buy one product you will receive another one free or half price. These offers are incentive to try a new product or to encourage loyalty to an existing one.

24、 This morning we’re going to head off down into the wetland, a very specific kind of wetland called the Prairie fen.
You can find Nate Fuller counting butterflies. The Sarett Nature Center needs an accurate count of Mitchell’s satyr butterflies to help preserve one of their last known habitats. They’re very particular about the kind of habitat where they can live, which is part of what makes them so rare and amazing indicators for our water quality. Today, Sarett expert Ashley Cole-Wick with Michigan’s Natural Features Inventory helps Fuller count. She says, “When I first started working on the butterfly in 2013,we had 18 populations and in 2019,we had 10.”
The Mitchell’s satyr butterfly went on the endangered species list in 1991.Initially it was thought that loss of wetlands contributed to their decline. Fuller says, “It’s not just habitat availability. The quantity and quality of groundwater coming into these wetlands seem to be a challenge for the butterfly. Nothing has all been sorted out exactly.” While the decline is likely a combination of factors, the fact that water quality might contribute is alarming because the wetlands are the headwaters for the Midwest’s rivers and streams.
A captive breeding program was started four years ago at the Toledo Zoo to help get to the bottom of the mystery. Today Director Ryan Walsh who heads the program says it’s been the only successful captive breeding program. The caterpillars spent the winter in a special weather control room that helped determine the Mitchell’s satyrs don’t do well below 4.4 degrees Celsius. With that knowledge, the program produced 1,300 new eggs, a development that may go a long way toward restoring the population. And if all goes well, may one day the Mitchell’s satyr butterfly earn a ticket off the endangered species list.
【1】What are the indicators for the water quality?
A.The habitats. B.The butterflies. C.The wetlands. D.The experts.
【2】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.The importance of water quality.
B.Actions taken to protect the Mitchell’s satyr butterflies.
C.The reasons why the number of Mitchell’s satyr butterflies declines.
D.The natural conditions for the Mitchell’s satyr butterflies.
【3】What does the underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Preserving. B.Increasing. C.Recovering. D.Controlling.
【4】What can we learn about the butterfly?
A.It can easily be found. B.It is not endangered now.
C.It will die above 4.4 degrees Celsius. D.It can be bred by humans
