托福趣味阅读:健康饮食问答

  很多备考托福的同学都为了提升自己的阅读能力而在闲暇时间“逼迫”自己阅读大量的英文材料,但是有时候却适得其反甚至产生厌恶心理。其实,阅读也可以很有趣,既然是为了扩充阅读能力,不妨选择一些有趣的科普类知识,这样既贴切托福文章类型,又丰富了课余知识,很可能也成为口语和写作的素材,甚至等置身大洋彼岸之时,这些话题可以成为和新朋友的谈资。

  大家都知道,健康的生活需要我们在平时就养成良好的生活和饮食习惯,吃什么食物才能有助健康呢?下面的趣味托福阅读材料就将给你一些小建议。

  1. A packed lunch or a purchased lunch? 带饭还是买饭?

  ANSWER: A PACKED LUNCH. 正解:带饭。

  It'll be healthier, it'll probably have fewer calories, it'll be cheaper and it'll save you lots of time that you can use for walking, reading or socializing instead.

  自带午餐更健康,自备的午餐热量较少,也更便宜些。同时,也节约出更多的时间去散步,阅读或参加更多的社交活动。

  2. Coffee or tea? 咖啡还是茶?

  ANSWER: TEA. 正解:咖啡。

  Choose black or green tea. These are jammed with heart-healthy antioxidants that provide more than just an energy-boosting punch; as well as contributing to healthier arteries; they may also help to prevent cancer.

  应该选择红茶或是绿茶。他们都含有丰富的有益心脏健康的抗氧化物。这些不仅能抗氧化物促进能源生成,还能促进动脉健康,甚至有助于癌症的预防。

  3. Strawberries or blueberries? 草莓还是蓝莓?

  ANSWER: BLUEBERRIES. 正解:蓝莓。

  Of course, both are great for you, so try to eat lots of these two fruits. But when you compare the nutrients in an equal amount of each, blueberries have a slight edge. Blueberries are particularly rich in fiber – four times that of strawberries – as well as containing more natural sugars, much more vitamin E and some unique micronutrients that are good for memory。

  当然,这两个选择都是对身体都有益的,因此要多吃这两种水果。但如果要比较等量水果所含的营养成分会发现,蓝莓里的含量稍好。蓝莓的纤维含量特别丰富,是草莓的四倍,并且富含更多天然糖分和维生素E,还有一些有助于改善记忆力的微量元素。

  4. Fresh fruit or dried? 新鲜水果还是干果?

  ANSWER: FRESH. 正解:新鲜的。

  The higher water content (most fresh fruits are more than 80 percent water) means a larger volume, making the fruit more filling and satisfying with fewer calories. But for convenience and shelf life, use dried fruit as your back-up plan.

  高水分含量(大多数水果百分之八十以上是水分)也意味着大体积,这就容易产生饱腹感而同时摄取更少的热量。但考虑到方便以及保质期,可以把干果做备胎。

  5. Fruit juice or fruit? 水果汁还是水果?

  ANSWER: FRUIT. 正解:水果。

  Get the real thing. Not only are most fruit juices loaded with sugar, they've been stripped of an important element found in fruit –fiber.

  货真价实才是王道。绝大多数果汁添加了糖分,而且水果中最为重要的成分——纤维也被破坏了。

  6. Broccoli or cauliflower? 西兰花还是花菜(又名菜花、花椰菜)?

  ANSWER: BROCCOLI. 正解:西兰花。

  At 2.6 grams of fiber per 100 grams, broccoli has twice the fiber oomph of cauliflower.

  每百克中含有2.6克植物纤维的西兰花,整整是花菜的两倍。

  怎么样?是不是想要对自己的饮食习惯做些调整?活得更健康才能更快乐。
