24、 steady assault on salt from the doctors: Salt is bad for youregardless of your health. Politicians also got on board. “There is a direct relationship,“ US congressman Neal Smith noted, “Between the amount of sodium a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and even early de
25、ath.“Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far. “All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary,“ Dr. Dnstan insists. “For most of us it probably doesnt make much difference how much salt we eat.“ Dustans most rece
26、nt short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure underwent no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure,
27、 which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced.“An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population,“ notes Dr. John H. Laragh.“ So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense.“M
28、edical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation“ in salt consumption. For an average person, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon. The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural
29、sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if their doctor advises. But even the very vocal “low salt“ exponent, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr. admits that “we do not know whether increased
30、 sodium consumption causes hypertension.“ In fact, there is increasing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predispotition; stress.“It is not your enemy,“ says Dr. Laragh, “Sa

Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up.“（分数：5.00）(1).According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed A. exhi

D. is irrelevant to people suffering from heart disease.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).From Dr. Dustans study we can infer that A. a low-salt diet may be

D. an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In the third paragraph, Dr. Laragh implies that A. p

He must obtain data both on re
37、sources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist was asked which of three groups borrow most-people with rising incomes, stable incomes or declining incomes-he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the year 194719
38、50, the answer was people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money exp
39、ect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in. an i
40、nterview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months, “she said, “we will have to pay more for meat and milk, we will have less to spend on other things.“ Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may
41、 be resented and buyers resistance may be evoked. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just dont pay these prices, they are too high.“The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results mor
42、e in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conductive to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy, thus, it appears that the common business policy o
43、f maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way consumers will spend their money, he should _. A. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending. B. try to encourage or discourag
44、e consumers to spend money. C. carry out investigations on consumer money spending motives. D. do researches in consumer psychology in a lab.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, research surveys have proved that _. A. price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy things. B. risi
45、ng of prices may make people out of their purchase of certain things. C. women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than men. D. the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The results of the investigation on consumer psychology carried out in America
