can we know which food is healthy? Unluckily, a lot of food looks good, but it isn’t really good, because it contains things that are bad for both your health and the environment. Where are the things from? This is all to do with how people produce food: growing it on the farm,
processing(加工) it in factories, storing it and making it ready for you to eat.
Here’s what happens:
Most farmers use chemicals(化学品) to stop their crops from getting sick. Many of these chemicals are kept in the food you eat. Some people believe that this may make people get illnesses. The chemicals may also pollute water and air, and kill lots of animals.
Waste from farm animals brings a lot of pollution. Some of the waste gets into the water.
Planes used by people to move food and drinks around also pollute the air.
Most things that you drink, like cola, taste good, but something in them, including sugar, may be bad for your health. Sugary drinks make you fat and are bad for your teeth. What you can do:
If you can, try and get organic(有机的) food. Organic food doesn’t harm the environment. Animals kept on organic farms are treated more kindly than the ones on factory farms.

D.
it-Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects and their meanings.
The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.
The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.
There are 400 objects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get. It's a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center, but it has no bad smell.
You can download the free game from Apple's app store, but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game. ( )61.What is the passage probably taken from? A.A postcard. book.

Mistakes are great teachers.
Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.
Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them.
