23、day could keep the pounds at bay. Health experts have discovered that adding low-calorie vegetable broth to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight. This is because you tend to feel full sooner, you eat less of your main course. The soup regime was tested by researchers at Pennsylvania
24、State University, led by Dr. Barbara Rolls. They found that when participants in the study ate a first course of soup before lunch they reduced their total calorie intake by 20 percent, compared with those who did not begin the meal with soup. But those who favour creamy soups should beware. Researc
25、hers stressed the soup must be low-calorie and based on stock, not cream.

31、mage, unlike native kinds of fire ants. Each year they cause an estimated six billion dollars worth of damage in the United States. More than one billion dollars of that is just in Texas. The ants are thought to have arrived in the southern state of Alabama in the nineteen twenties or thirties. Sinc
32、e then they have spread northward and all the way to the West Coast. They ruin crops, damage soil and get into animal feed. They also damage electrical equipment and machinery. Not only that, they injure animals and workers. So farmers have to deal with medical costs and lost labor. Fire ants get th

Colonies of red imported fire ants can be found in cities as well as farming areas. They can go deep underground to survive periods of little or
34、 no rain. They have no native predators, no creatures that like to feed on them. But one solution could come from the ants themselves, in the form of a virus that some of them carry. This virus may someday help control the population. Scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture began t
35、o work with the virus about five years ago. The researchers observed one hundred sixty-eight nests of imported fire ants in Florida. They found the virus in almost one-fourth of them. The researchers found that the virus affected every part of fire-ant development, including the eggs. The affected c
36、olonies died in about three months. Now, government researchers want to work with a private company to produce large amounts of the virus. It could then be used as a biological control.(2).Which of the following is NOT the damage done by red ants? A. They can destroy the houses of farmers. B. They c

The disease kills at least one million people every year. Malaria is found in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America. Malaria paras
40、ites enter a persons blood through the bite of a very small insectthe mosquito. The malaria parasites travel to the liver. The organisms grow and divide there. After a week or two, the parasites invade red blood cells and reproduce thousands of times. They cause a persons body temperature to rise. T
41、hey also may destroy major organs. People with malaria may suffer kidney failure or loss of red blood cells. People die from malaria because they are not treated or treatment is delayed. Different drugs can prevent the parasites from developing in the body. But experts still say the best way to prev
42、ent the disease is not to be bitten by a mosquito. That could change in the future. Research scientists at The Johns Hopkins University have created mosquitoes that cannot spread the malaria parasites. Computer studies show that such insects are needed to replace mosquitoes in the wild if malaria co

Results of their studies were published in Science magazine. The scientists say one effect of shark fishing has been an estimated ninety-nine percent decrease in s
47、ome shark populations. They say the loss of larger sharks has caused a population explosion among fish like skates and rays. Such fish and smaller sharks have increased in number along the east coast of the United States. Sharks usually eat skates and rays. The scientists say these fish feed on shellfish, which are disappearing from the ocean. They say o
