Paragraph 1 Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are: (1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds. (2) citrus  fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal , rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter. Paragraph 2 People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn't matter whether foods are eaten raw  or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn't matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon or at eleven o'clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day. Paragraph 3 There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the world's population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy. It is important for people to eat   _  .

Q: Tired of living in the same location but don't want to leave the house you love? That wouldn't be a problem if architect Felipe Campolina had his way. The Brazilian architect has designed a concept for a home tower consisting of portable, stackable   apartment units, which he says opens up new possibilities for ways of living in the city. His design would allow owners to take their home with them when they travel -- whether for a weekend away or for longer periods, he said. The mobile home tower project is at the concept stage, and it could be years before it is built, if ever at all. But if it is realized, it would offer an eco-friendly solution to living in urban areas, Campolina said. "We have enough technology to build with fewer materials and minimize   the impact on nature," he said. His vision would call for units with a green roof and walls and a system for recycling water. The tower, whose first floor would be built nine meters above ground, would also make it possible to save space in thickly populated areas. "It is designed to facilitate   its application in dense urban centers, where space is very limited," he said. Still just a concept, Campolina -- who designed the building for architecture journaleVolo's Skyscraper Competition -- said with enough public interest, it just might become a reality one day. The building's first floor would be built high above ground   _  . A) to save space in crowded cities B) to make the building attractive C) to build the house solidly D) to fix its units more easily

(Question)
People Born in Autumn Live Longer People born in the autumn live longer than those born in the spring and are less likely to fall chronically ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life expectancy over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy, and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new-born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. "A mother giving birth in spring spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer," said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research. "When she stops breast-feeding and starts giving her baby normal food, it's in the hot weeks of summer when babies are prone  to infections of the digestive system." In Austria, adults born in autumn (October-December) lived about seven months longer than those born in spring (April-June), and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southern hemisphere, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumn--the European spring--lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data. Although nutrition at all times of the year has improved since then, the seasonal pattern persists, Doblhammer said. But on the other hand, according to a study of more 40,000 people, those born in spring and summer report themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter. Professor Richard Wise-man who led the research explained that the temperature at the time of birth might influence the development of the brain and seasonal factors make a difference as well. The census data of the following countries is used for research EXCEPT   _  . A) Germany. B) Denmark. C) Australia. D) Austria.
