22、salt is bad for you- regardless 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 death.“Frightening, if true! But many doct
23、ors 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 Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably doesnt make much difference how much salt we eat.“ Dustan s most recent short- term study of 150 people showe
24、d that those with normal blood pressure experienced 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, which returned to its previous level
25、 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.“Medical experts agree that everyone sh
26、ould practice reasonable “moderation“ in salt consumption. For the 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 sodium in food. The rest would be ad
27、ded 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 sodium consumption causes hypertens
28、ion.“ In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition; stress.“It is not your enemy,“ says Dr. Laragh. “Salt is the No. 1 natural component of al

Unless your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no mason to give it up.（分数：5.00）(1).According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed _.（分数：1.00）A.exhibits as an aggravating factor t

34、ntist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist was asked
35、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 19471950, the answer was people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes
36、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 expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But researc
37、h 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 interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months, “she said, “we will have to pay more for meat and milk, we will
38、 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 be resented and buyers resistance may be evoked. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just dont pay the
39、se 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 more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conductive to spend
40、ing 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 of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the p
41、assage, if one wants to predict the way consumers will spend their money, he should _.（分数：1.00）A.rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending.B.try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money.C.carry out investigations on consumer money spending motives.D.do researches in consu

43、D.the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry.(3).The results of the investigation on consumer psychology carried out in America were those of the investigations made at the same time in Great Britain.（分数：1.00）A.somewhat different fromB.exactly the same asC.much better thanD.not
