We are what we eat because what we eat every day has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} great impact on our health. Therefore, we should make every effort to change our bad eating habits. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we all know, baked or fried foods may be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （taste）, but eating too much of them will {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （probable）result in some illnesses. Moreover, some food that costs us a great deal of money and is not healthy is junk food.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (compare) with people in the West, Chinese people used to eat more grain and vegetables, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (little) meat, which is a good eating habit. However, things are quite different now. With the rapid economic {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (grow) of our country, we are now also eating a lot of food that is high in sugar and fat. We {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) the risk of eating out without {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consider) the balance of our diet .The food we choose affects our health, so we suggest that the food we choose {#blank#}10{#/blank#} give us the nutrients we need.

    Tu Yoyo was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Oct. 5. She was the first Chinese citizen {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(win) a Nobel Prize in science. Tu {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(share) the prize with the Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan.

    Tu is a researcher at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine now. She  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) the prize for  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (develop) artemisinin (青蒿素) , a new drug therapy against malaria( 疟疾)， {#blank#}6{#/blank#} has saved millions of lives worldwide, especially in developing countries.

    Tu and her colleagues joined a government project to find a new malaria drug in the late 1960s. They made 380 herbal extracts from two thousand recipes from traditional Chinese medical books. In 1971, after nearly two hundred  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fail), Tu's team  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(final) found an extract that was 100% effective against the malaria parasites-atremisinin. In 2001, the World Health Organization made artemisinin {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) first choice in the treatment of malaria.

    “The discovery of artemisinin is a gift to mankind from traditional Chinese medicine. It's the achievement of the research team. Winning the prize is  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} honor for Chinese science and traditional Chinese medicine,” Tu said.

    How long can a person live?How tall can a human being grow?The Guinness（吉尼斯）World Records book lists many of the greatest records{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the greatest potentials（潜能）.But it's a fossil record.It speaks only to what has been done,not how much can{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(do),which is why it has to be constantly updated（更新）.

    Take the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(surprise )case of the British middle-distance runner Roger Bannister for example.In the 1950s, experts said{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the human body could not run a mile in less than four minutes.Then Bannister came along in 1954 and proved it could{#blank#}5{#/blank#}act be run in 3:59.4.Once Bannister broke the imaginary barrier{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(sudden )the floodgates opened;scores of runners started besting（击败）the four-minute mark every year,each one{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(fast) than the last. How fast does a human have the ability{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(run)the mile today?We honestly don't know.That is why we hold our{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(breathe )during every Olympics.

    All we know{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be)that this kind of change is possible.Keep this in mind the next time you feel stuck or challenged.Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it's impossible.

    There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学界）{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(effect) such as overweight and heart disease-the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.

    Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remove) from food, the food tastes as if is missing something. As {#blank#}5{#/blank#} result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) full of fat and salt; by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.

    Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is not good for the health.
