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.

    Last Monday, some Australian students came to our school for a visit. They {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(show) to visit various optional courses. One of our teachers taught them something about calligraphy. As a volunteer, I explained {#blank#}2{#/blank#} English when necessary. They were impressed by the amazing Chinese art, and some of them even tried writing some characters successfully. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (remember) the enjoyable moment, we took photos together and this was really a memorable and rewarding event.

    One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, "Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it: neither too much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} too little."

    His son looked surprised. "I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} not save a bit of money?"

    "That would be a very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours," Nick said.

    Nick's guests, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy sale more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, "The only reason a man would sell sale {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

    "But such a small thing couldn't {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (possible) destroy a village."

    "In the beginning, there was only {#blank#}9{#/blank#} very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today. "

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} sets the Harbin festival apart is the scale and size of the sculptures and the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(beauty) lighting. It is bigger than {#blank#}4{#/blank#}ones in Sapporo, Norway, and Quebec.

At first, mainly Chinese participated, but in the last decade, it {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(become) an international festival and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(compete). As the festival grows in international participation, and as China's economy grows, the size of the snow sculptures and ice architecture exhibits keeps {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(grow). The work going into making those exhibits is astonishing, and their size and beauty is amazing.

The lightning {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(effect) on the huge ice sculptures in the Ice and Snow World are technologically complex.
