New Foods, new Diets • Diet of the Past • A. On March 26,1662, Samuel Pepys and four friends had lunch at his home in London, England. They ate beef, cheese, two kinds of fish, and six chickens. Today, we might wonder, ‘What ? No fruits ?No vegetables’?’’ More than 300 years ago, people in Europe ate different from today. They looked different , too. In famous paintings by Titian, Rubens, and other artists, people weren’t thin: they were overweight. But people 300 years ago thought, ‘ How attractive!’- not ,”How ugly”. • Today’s Diet • B. Today people are learning more about health. Many peole are changing their ways of eating. They’re eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Many of the vegetables are raw. They aren’t cooked because cooking takes away some vitamins, such as vitamins A,B, and C. People are eating less sugar. They’re eating low-fat foods. They’re not eating much red meat. They’re drinking less cola and coffee.
o • Trying to be Thin • C. People these days want to be slim, not fat. Sometimes people in North America go a little crazy to lose pounds. Thousands of them join gyms and diet groups, go to special diet doctors, or spend a lot of money at diet centers. Each year Americans spend more than $46 billion on diets and diet products. • More people are overweight • D. However, there is an irony- a surprising opposite result-to all this dieting. While many people are becoming thin, other people are becoming overweight. More people are overweight than in the past! In many countries, there is a serious problem with obesity –in other words, a condition of being very overweight. There are two main reasons. First, these days, many people often go to fast- food restaurants. ( they didn’t in the past) At these restaurants, many of the foods ( such as fried potatoes and meat) are high in fat. Some of the dairy products ( such as cheese) are high in fat, and others.
s • ( such as ice cream) are high in fat and sugar. This seems similar to Samuel Pepys’s party, doesn’t it? Second, dieting doesn’t often work. Sometimes people lose weight fast, but they usually gain it back again. Almost 95 percent of all people gain back weight after a diet. One problem with obesity is easy to see: overweight people have more sickness, such as heart disease and diabetes. • E. Sometimes people go crazy over food. Sometimes they eat very little because they want to be slim. Other times, they eat lots of bad foods because these foods taste good. When will people learn? Too much food, too little food, and the wrong foods are all bad ideas.
Part 2 / Eating Bugs/ page 151 • A. Different cultures enjoy different foods. Sometimes a food that one thinks is delicious might seem disgusting to another . In much of the world, people eat beef, but the idea of meat from a cow disgusts some Hindus in India. People in France sometimes eat horsemeat or frogs, and this disgusts some Americans. People in Western countries eat cheese, and many Asian think that is disgusting. And then there are insects. Many people wonder , “How can people eat bugs?”( Children in the U.S make horrible faces and say, Óooh! Yucky!’) However, insects are an important part of the diets in many countries. • B. In different places, people eat over 1,000 types of insects – and ate them in the past, too. For example, people in ancient (old) Greece and Rome ate insects. American Indians ate grasshoppers, crickets, and caterpillars. Today, in parts of African, people eat termites( insects that eat wood) and caterpillars as snacks. In Japan, some people eat grasshoppers with soy sauce . In small villages and in some restaurants in Thailand, people enjoy crickets and grasshoppers. In some Mexican restaurants, people pay $25 for a plate of butterfly larvae.
ic • In the United States, Some restaurants now offer insects as a gourmet food. In China, people spend $100 million each year on ants. • C. There are different ways to prepare bugs as food. One way is to boil them in very hot water. In Colombia , some people spread them on bread. In the Philippines, people fry them in butter with vegetables . In Mexico, people fry them in oil or marinate them in lemon juice, salt, and chile. In some parts of Africa, some people bake or fry them. In other areas, they eat them raw. ( However, entomologists –scientists who study insects- say that it’s important to cook insects, not eat them raw.) In the United States, a company called Hotix now sells candy with insects in it. • D. Julieta Ramos- Elorduy, a researcher at a university in Mexico City, says that there are many good reasons to eat bugs. First, insects are a cheap food( except on a plate in an expensive restaurant) , and they taste good. Second, bugs are good for our health . For example, they often have more protein than beef or fish. Third, they can bring money to poor people, who find them
a • In the forest and sell them. In parts of Africa, there are seven pounds of insects on just one tree. This brings a good profit for every little work. Finally, eating insects can help to save the environment. In many countries, people cut down trees. However, they will not do this if the trees have insects to eat or sell. • E. People worldwide are now eating foods from other countries. People in the West now enjoy Japanese sushi( a small roll of cooked white rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, or egg). People everywhere eat Italian pizza and American hamburgers . Maybe someday, in a fast-food restaurant in any country, a customer will say, ‘Give me a hamburger and an order of a caterpillars, please.’In the future, insects might be as familiar to us as rice, bread, or beans.

Sleep and Dream Chapter 6
The purpose of sleep and dreamsbefore you read • Stage: a certain time • Symbols; signs that tell something • Theories: opinions • Verbs: to occur: to happen • to predict: to tell the future • to repair: to fix • to wonder: to keep asking yourself • Adjective: awake- not sleeping • Adverb: however- but
The purpose of sleep and dreams • A. Many people wonder : Why do we sleep? Why do we dream? They ask themselves the purpose , or reason. There are many theories, or opinions, about this, but scientists don’t know if these ideas are correct. • B. One theory of sleeps says that during the day, we use many important chemicals in our bodies and brains . We need sleep to make new chemicals and repair , or fix, our bodies. This theory is called ‘Repair theory,’ One piece of evidence for this theory is that our bodies produce more of a growth hormone while we sleep. Another theory is that the purpose of sleep is to dream. Dreaming occurs or happens, only during one stage, or period , of sleep- REM ( Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.
The Purpose of Sleep and Dreams • REM sleep occurs about every 90 minutes and last for about 20 minutes. Some scientists believe that REM sleep helps us to remember things, but other scientists don’t agree. • Dream Theories • C. Whatever the reason for sleep, everyone, sleeps, and everyone dreams every night. Many times we don’t remember our dreams, but we still dream. Like sleep, no one knows exactly why we dream or what dreams mean. There have been many theories about dreams throughout history. Many cultures believe that dreams can predict the future- that they can tell us what is going to happen to us. However, some people believe that dreams are only a form of entertainment. • D. Psychologists such as Sigmund Freud say that dreams are not predictions of the future. Psycologists have strong beliefs about dreams. However, these scientists don’t always agree with each other . There are several different theories about the purpose of dreaming.
i • E. Freud, who wrote around the year 1900, said that dreams can tell us about our emotions- feelings- and desires, or wishes. Freud believed that our dreams are full of symbols. In other words, things in our dreams mean other things. For example, a road in a dream isn’t really a road. It might be a symbol of the dreamer’s life. Freud thought that dreams are about things from our past, from our childhood. Other psychologists say no. They believe that dreams are about the present, about our ideas, desires, and problems now. Other psychologists say that dreams have no meaning at all. • New Evidence • F. We still don’t know why we dream. However, there is interesting new evidence from research, or studies, about the brain. When we are awake, many parts of our brain are active, for example the parts for emotion, vision( the ability to see) , logic ( the ability to think and understand), and others, However, when we are asleep and dreaming, the part of the brain for logic is not active. Maybe this new evidence answers one common question: why do dreams seem so crazy?

Today, there are 800 volunteers. They work with mammals. Mammals are animals that feed on their mother’s milk when young. The volunteers help sick ocean mammals: seals, sea lions, and sea otters. The sick animals become well and strong. Motherless baby animals grow big and healthy. For many weeks- or sometimes months- volunteers help to feed and take care of these animals. They also work in an educational program that teaches people about these animals. The volunteers don’t get any pay for their hard work. Their ‘pay’is the good feeling on the day when they get can release a healthy animal – take it to its home, the ocean, and let it go free.
