A Number
of devices are available to help in the effort to quit smoking. Nicotine
patches are small, nicotine-containing adhesive substances that are applied to
the skin. The nicotine is slowly absorbed through the skin and enters the blood
stream. Over time, the nicotine dose is lessened and eventually the craving for
nicotine is alleviated. Nicotine gum works in a similar manner, providing small
doses of nicotine when chewed.
The
benefits of smoking cessation include the immediate reduction of health hazards
for the smoker, lower health insurance premiums, and easier admission to social
activities and institutions that ban smoking. Nonetheless, to quit smoking is
difficult, most likely because smokers crave the effect of the nicotine in the
smoke. In a 1988 report, the U.S. United States

Half of us spend the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and

When we
buy canned or bottled food products at the grocer’s or the supermarket, we will
find out that there are some additives added to the main nutrients. An additive
is a nonnutritive substance intentionally added to food, generally in small
quantities, to improve appearance, flavour, storage properties, etc.
A group of
food additives includes vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, which are added to
foodstuffs to compensate for losses occurring during processing or to provide
additional sources in diets that might otherwise be deficient in such
nutrients. Examples of their use include enrichment of margarine with the
addition of vitamin A, and niacinamide to flour or bread. Salt often has a
small amount of iodine added to it to avoid a diet deficiency that can cause
goiter development.
Appearance
is an important factor in food appeal, and legislation in most countries
permits the addition of both natural and synthetic colouring matter based on
the colouring standards issued by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO)
and World Health Organization (WHO).
Flavouring
materials are added to basic foodstuffs to provide a characteristic product
flavour or to supplement or modify the original flavour. Most flavouring
materials are still of natural origin, but progress in organic chemistry has
made it possible to analyze flavouring materials and to synthesize products similar
with those found in nature. Flavour can also be influenced by the addition of
flavour enhancer as monosodium glutamate, which intensifies perception of
flavouring.
16. Which statement is true according to the text?
a. Canned
or bottled food is better in quality than fresh food.
b. Synthetic
colouring is the same as natural one.
c. To
improve the appearance, flavouring materials are added.

the shake of storage, antimicrobial preservatives are not important.
e. Canned
food can last long because of the antimicrobial preservatives.
17. Paragraph 4 tells us about....
a. kinds
of flavouring materials
b. the
use of flavouring materials
c. what
flavouring material is
d. the
similarity between natural and synthetic flavouring
e. the
difference between natural and synthetic flavouring
18. What is the additive added to the food for?
a. to
produce better products
b. to
make the consumers satisfied
c. to
put the food in the cans or bottles
d. to
improve the appearance, flavour, and storage properties
e. to
prevent the products from physical factors

are very important in food products.

are no regulations in adding additives to the food products.

Ultraviolet
light means the invisible part of the spectrum beyond violet. This light has
always been regarded as very useful because it is uses to cure certain skin
diseases, kill bacteria, detect counterfeit money, form vitamins, etc.
Along
with the increasingly extensive use of computers in financial activities,
ultraviolet light has been widely applied by banks to identify the signatures
of their customers in passbook. When a customer opens a new account with a
bank, the bank teller always asks him to sign on a card placed in the signature
column of a passbook. When the card is removed, the trace of his signature will
be left. This can be used to compare with the signature on the customer’s
withdrawal slip under ultraviolet light.
Ultraviolet
light certainly has many practical applications, but it may also be harmful to
human beings on some occasions. To everyone’s knowledge, the direct impact of
the light on the eyes for an excessive length of time may blind a person.
Even
though it can cure certain skin diseases, it is also very harmful to the skin.
