四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
第一篇:
How do we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich foods? Many nutritionists are advocating
the fortification (提高營養價值) of a number of foods. This may help, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts
in nutrition education among our young people. I simply do not agree that it is futile to try to change eating habits. Once an
intelligent person—and this includes adolescents—understand the need for a healthy diet, I think he/she will act accordingly.
As for specific actions, I suggest that blood hemoglobin should be checked as a routine part of a youngster’s yearly physical
exam. It should contain at least 12 grams for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily absorbed
iron supplement.
Adolescents—and everyone else—should cut out highly processed foods and drinks, which may be low in iron and other
nutrients. Read the labels for iron content. Especially make sure that all bakery products are made with enriched flour or whole
grains. Try adding liver, chicken, beef, veal or any other variety to the weekly menu.
Finally, even when you are trying to lose weight, always eat a sensible, well-balanced diet made up of a variety of fresh
or very lightly processed foods. This way, you stand a good chance of getting not only enough iron, but also adequate amounts
of all the other essential nutrients.
