As we know it is important for our health to have a good eating habit.
But what do you think can affect it? The custom of your country., the different kinds of food, or just your personal interest? The last study in theJournal of American College Health told us that in fact, the environment where we live also plays a role in eating.
Some students, male or female, live in dormitories (宿舍), and otherslive off campus (校園). So according to the different environment they have,researchers at Washington State University got some data(數(shù)據(jù)) and compared with daily food choices. They found there were big differences in the consumption(消耗) of fruit and vegetables, fish, unsweetened cereal, white bread, cookies and beer.
Basically, many students like to eat the food that is most available where they live. And they are strongly influenced by eating habits of their peers (同齡人). Men have more beer, meat and white bread than women. Women consume more diet soda.
The reason is very simple. Because we are social animals and generally likely to make a meal of whatever everybody else is having. So some experts advise that if you're trying to lose weight but your friends think pizza and beer is a balanced meal, then the problem is coming. And what you need to do is to change your eating habits or pack your bags.
1.Which doesn't influence your eating habit according to the passage?
A. Customs of different countries. B. The environment you live in.
C. Your interest in food. D. The suggestion of your parents.
2.Who is the subject(研究對象) chosen by the researchers at Washington State University?
A. The students at the Washington State University.
B. The teachers and students.
C. The students living in different environment.
D. The students' best friends.
3.According to the study, which of the following is True?
A. There are few differences in the consumption of many kinds of food or fruit.
B. Men don't like to eat more white bread than women.
C. Women eat less diet soda than men.
D. Many students will be affected by what their friends eat or drink.
4.If you want to lose weight but your roommates think' meat and beer is a good meal, what can
you do?
A. Ask them to stop eating and drinking. B. Eat the same thing like them.
C. Go back home for meal. D. Ask experts for help.
5.Where can you find this passgae?

Weekday mornings are very busy for US middle school students. When your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far away to walk, you need a carpool (拼車). A carpool is a group of people sharing the responsibility (責(zé)任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns to drive the kids in their cars.
Someone’s car smells like wet dogs. Some kids get to eat desserts (甜點) for breakfast and some parents shout so much that all you try to do is to stay quiet and go unnoticed. When your mom or dad drives the carpool, your classmates get a close-up look at how strange your parents can be. It might be your first sociological (社會學(xué)) study and your first time to work with others.
Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It’s a great lesson in responsibility. Imagine (想象) sitting in the car outside of a classmate’s house, watching the clock and counting the seconds. Then you start to understand how your carpool friends might feel when you are still inside the house at 7:48. You really begin to learn all your real life lessons just moments before the start of school—in the carpool.
1.What is a carpool?
A. Parents take turns to drive their kids to school.
B. Parents drive kids to schools on their way to work.
C. Kids go to school in their parents’ cars.
D. Kids drive their own cars to school.
2.How many kids are usually in a carpool?
A. Two or three． B. Three or four． C. Four or five． D. Five or six．
3.What can students learn from a carpool?
