A

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious， but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.

Certain microorganisms （微生物） cause most sorts of food poisoning. They can poison eggs， meat， vegetables， and many other foods. After entering the body， these tiny living things release poisons that make people sick. Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. Many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops. Some plants and animals contain natural poisons. These include certain sorts of seafood， grains， nuts， seeds， beans， and mushrooms.

When people handle food properly， the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly （充分地） to kill dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally， people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition， some types of fish can be poisonous.

Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons， they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.

A. Goals. B. Disadvantages. C. Indications. D. Reasons.

Many consumers do not realize that pesticide residues （農藥殘留） are very common on conventionally grown products， even after they have been washed or peeled. Because of this， The Environmental Working Group （EWG） has created the Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce （SGPP） to lead consumers to find uncontaminated （未受污染的） produce.

In order to create these guides， EWG analyzed the USDA pesticides tests， which found a total of 230 different pesticides and pesticides breakdown products on thousands of produce samples. Analyzing this information， EWG observed the big differences of the amount of pesticides found from product to product.

The guide’s two main parts are two compiled lists highlighting （突出） the cleanest and dirtiest produce concerning pesticides. These two lists， Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen， show consumers how certain foods continue to carry small amounts of pesticides with them all the way to the grocery store shelves， while others make it to your kitchen almost pesticide-free.

Some of the highlights from their analyses included the following findings：

●More than one-third of strawberry samples contained 10 or more pesticide residues and breakdown products.

●Spinach （菠菜） samples had， on average， almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight， compared to any other crop.

●No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pesticides.

“With EWG’s guide， consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy conventional and organic produce that isn’t contaminated with multiple pesticide residue，” said Sonya Lunder， a senior analyst in EWG. Only 25 years ago， the National Academy of Sciences raised concerns about exposure to poisonous pesticides in our food， yet consumers still consume a mixture of pesticides every day in America.

5. Why did EWG create SGPP？

A. To advertise healthy produce. B. To warn some food companies.

C. To analyze the USDA pesticides tests. D. To help consumers make safer choices.

6. What does EWG find from their analyses according to Paragraph 2？

A. Some samples are polluted. B. Some strawberries are poisonous.

C. Pesticide amounts vary in products. D. 230 pesticides are not allowed to use.

7. What does the underlined word “pesticide-free” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？

A. Without pesticide. B. Full of pesticide. C. Pesticide reduction. D. Pesticide used.

8. What can we learn from the last paragraph？

A. No pesticides were used on crops 25 years ago.

B. Consumers worry about pesticides very much.

C. General produces are safe enough.

D. Produce safety remains a problem.
