Is It Worth Buying Organic Food?

Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays.Consumers have been

willing to pay up to twice more for goods with organic labels ( 商标)．However, if you think paying a little more

for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money.A study led by

researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less

likely to suffer from diseasecausing bacteria, either.

The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their

money.“We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier ， ” says Dr.Crystal

SmithSpangler from Stanford.“So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.”

For their new study, SmithSpangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research,

including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food

products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and

fats.

While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and

vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces.Neither organic nor traditional foods

showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards.And both organic and traditional

meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates.The researchers did

find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish

that can reduce the risk of heart disease.However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers

were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.

Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more naturalgrowing practices, but that doesn't always

translate into a more nutritious or healthier product.The U ．S.Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that

“whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste”. Fresh

food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.

A．should replace traditional food

B．has been overpriced by farmers

D．is really more nutritious and healthier

A．organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease

B．traditional food was grown with more natural methods

C．both organic and traditional food they examined were safe

D．there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food

6．Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?

A．Organic chicken and pork.

B．Organic milk and chicken.

C．Traditional chicken and pork.

D．Traditional fruit and vegetables.

7．What is the author's attitude toward organic food?

A．Skeptical.　　　　　 B．Neutral.

C．Unconcerned. D．Approving.

The Global Heritage Fund,a nonprofit organization,aims to protect places of cultural importance in developing

countries for the reasons that these countries often have few resources to protect such places and that other major

cultural organizations often pay more attention to protecting places in developed countries.For example,UNESCO

has 45 World Heritage places in Italy,42 in Spain,but Peru,famous for its ancient Incan buildings,has only 9 World

Heritage places.Guatemala has only 3.

The fund recently released a list of cultural treasures in the developing world that are in danger of

disappearing.These places are important because they are records of our human civilization.Globalization has

created an international culture that is about sameness.But the endangered places are trying to protect the rich

differences of human culture throughout history.

One of the fund’s current projects is in Guatemala’s ( 危地马拉) Mirador Basin,which contains several

important examples of ancient Mayan settlements.The buildings are surrounded by forests.

Centuries of tree growth has covered the pyramids and religious buildings,which provides some of the finest

examples of the early part of the Mayan civilization (玛雅文明).But this area is in danger from robbers and people
