   You should write 160 -200 words on the ANSWER SHEET.
   We have all heard the saying, " You are what you eat. " Current research suggests that the majority of Americans have bad eating habits, and some of this is determined by our lifestyle, which demands that we eat quickly and inexpensively.
   What are the commonest foods on the American menu? Hamburgers and French fries, sugar-laden drinks: pies and whipped cream, malts and ice-cream. Apart from an occasional broiled hamburger, all the things on that list are bad for us. And there are certain prophets of doom who predict that all those fat laden fast foods provide us with only one thing—a faster road to the grave.
   On the other hand, there are those who claim that the basic fast-food meal contains all the nourishment you need. After all, there are meat, milk, salad and bread. And if you have a cheeseburger instead of a hamburger, you are doing yourself an extra favor by adding additional protein. What these good news gossips are overlooking is the usually pulpy bun: the excess of sugar in the maltose or Coke: and overdose of salt that is sprinkled on the hamburger to make palatable.
   So you decide to stay away from the hamburger joint, and buy your food from the supermarket. Are you any better off? Not if you buy frozen or canned food. The experts tell us that canned and frozen vegetables contain sugar, as well as all sorts of perspectives that are not doing anything to improve your health. According to these people, the only way to be sure your food is good for you is to buy it and cook it fresh. And then, of course, you have to eat it—and that creates another problem. The speed of today’ s world has encouraged many of us to eat far too fast. We do not chew our food enough, and we eat on the run or we jump and start running the minute we finish eating.

答案 In the article, the author mentioned two aspects constituting Americans ’ unhealthy eating habits: one is eating fast food with high calories: the other is eating too fast. Some fast food seem to have nutrition, but still can do harm to one’ s health because there are lots of sugar hidden in them. Frozen or canned food are also bad because they are not fresh. The fast pace of modern life force people to eat very fast, with little time to digest or relax right after each meal. These habits may gradually ruin people’ s body. To build a good eating habit, we need some self-control. When we see fat-laden food such as fried chicken and ice creams on the menu, we’ d better turn our head away to order some fresh vegetables instead. Take our time to enjoy the meal, instead of finishing it in hurry or eating food on our way to work. Having a small walk after meal is also good for digestion.
