    Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese(dish) is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners  come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap can be to eat out. I still remember(visit) a friend who'd lived here for five years and I(shock) when I learnt she hadn't cooked once in all that time.

    While regularly eating out seems to(become) common for many young people in recent years, it's not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be(afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even(high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in (weigh) problems.

    If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum's home dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket.

    I'm not sure  is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩）that suddenly appears out of nowhere. I'm walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I'm face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at  top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the (loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn't feel(challenge).

My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a (science)who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.

    When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find (they) alive. True to a gorilla's unaggressive nature, the huge animal (mean)me no real harm. He was just saying: "I'm king of this forest, and here is your reminder!" Once his message was delivered, he allowed me  (stay)and watch.

    Diets have changed in China-and so too has its top crop. Since 2011,the country（grow）more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent overpast 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent.

    A taste for meat is(actual) behind the change. An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise. The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice(improve) water quality. Corn uses less waterrice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased(pollute) in the country's major lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people.

    According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total(globe)fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005-when the government  (start) a soil-testing program  gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment while  (feed) its citizens "offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele.

    While running regularly can make you live forever, the review says it  (be)more effective at lengthening life walking ,cycling or swimming.
