Apples have been a product of healthy eating for many years, and the often-repeated line of an apple a day keeping the doctor away is far from a myth. Apples really do have a wonderful variety o

25、f nutritional benefits, and are a tasty addition to any diet of good health and longevity. Below is a list of the top five benefits of making apples a standard part of your daily diet.1. Pectin (果胶) is a source of dietary fiber and a very handy nutrient to have in ones diet. While it is also found i

27、art disease found that eating three apples a day for three months can help you to drop your cholesterol by at least 20 points. How does this happen?

29、e actions of free radicals. In addition, the phytochemicals may act against cancer-causing substances, which will likewise help to prevent cancer. This means that apple eating prevents cancer of the prostate (前列腺) and lung, as well as other parts of the body.4. There may have been many generations o

30、f explorers that sought the fountain of youth, but all they had to do was fight the daily stresses of life with a tasty apple!

37、d the following article and answer questions 19-25.For questions 19-25, choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.The Haunted AmericaCountries are like little homes; they house a nation, hold ideologies and provide shelter and comfort to its people in hopes that the occupants will nurture better ideas

38、for themselves and further flourish humanity. Such are primary desires and goals of most countries on this small planet.America is no exception. For decades, billions of people around the world slept at night on empty stomachs amidst dreadful circumstances, often dreaming of the freedoms and liberti

39、es of America, which they likened to a great land, a paradise and a final destination point.The best and brightest of the world gravitated to the great USA in search of golden opportunities; in hordes they came, and en masse they settled. America became the nation which acknowledged greatness and pr

40、ovided the driving force to allow the dreams of small, ordinary people to take form and flourish. Free from restrictions, allowing grand expressions with extraordinary liberties, that no other nation in the history of mankind has been able to match at such a grand scale.But currently, it seems that

41、this home of the American nation has started to resemble that old mansion, elegantly pristine (质朴的) but known to be haunted, sitting at the end of that dead-end street where ghosts, mysterious apparitions (幽灵) and unexplainable signs have emerged. This planet, like an old street, is already full of

42、such haunted houses, which at times seem abandoned, lifeless and unable to give or receive neighborly warmth; factors so critical for any country on the global scene.Can this badly damaged image of America be fixed today and by whom and at what cost? What must it includea new costume, a new mask or

43、a new heart? These are very important underlying questions, but the biggest question remainscan an entire country be branded to the rest of the world in the same fashion as a breakfast cereal or laundry detergent?The answer is a flat no. Only the branding-circus would come up with such a fake, super

44、ficial, logo-centric-slogan-happy attempt to rebuild a nation painted with banners and billboards. In reality, countries cannot be branded in such a simple process from the past; firstly, nations are already branded over decades and centuries by their histories and cultural interactions and exportab

45、le identities.A global image is not in the hands of a polling company or controlled by a branding agency. Rather, they take form in the minds of the global masses, who paint their own mental picture based on their own interpretation of a nation. Therefore, it demands an awesome force, as the global

46、public will not be swayed by ad-campaigns, rather by the exuberance (茂盛) of sincere and honest truth and internal fixing leading to an inviting charm. After all, this is how the image of America was built in the first place.As a rule, if it has cost trillions to get where America is on global public

47、 opinion today, then it is easily understandable why it would cost a similar amount to fix the damages. Nations can only hope to improve their domestic issues first, before reflecting out to the world and preaching to the rest of the neighborhood.In commercial terms, American brands have lost their luster at an alarming rate during the last five years, and are now in serious danger of being over-powered by brand new identities arising from all over the newly repositioned world. This super-accelerated nouveau-consumerism has all the making of this global s
