Removing skins from fruits and vegetables

Mixing everything

A smoothie (a mixed drink) is a smart way to eat some greens. 4 ． They're often short of protein and healthy fat. These things work together to keep us feeling full and satisfied. Without them, it's not really a balanced meal, Powell suggests adding some foods which contain protein or having a piece of wholewheat( 全麥的 )bread on the side.

Overdressing salads

We think we can add anything to salads, and they'll still be a nutritious choice. But it's just not true. If you're topping your bowl with dried strawberries and sweet cheese, you've easily added 30 grams of sugar to your so-called healthy lunch. 5 ．

【分析】

本文是説明文。文章介紹了常見的五種錯誤的做飯習慣。

1 ．由上文中的 boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin C“ 煮蔬菜會導致維生素 C 的大量流失 ” 。可知，該段主要介紹了煮蔬菜會導致維生素 C 的損失。 D 項中的 loses about 33% of its vitamin C 是提示，該句為該段的觀點提供了具體的例*。由此推知， D 項 Cabbage. for example, loses about 33 % of its vitamin C. （捲心菜。例如，它會失去大約 33% 的維生素 C 。）切題。故選 D 。

2 ．由上文中的 Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria, but it's also likely to pass it around your kitchen“ 在水中清洗肉類可能會去除一些細菌，但也可能會在你的廚房裏傳播 ” 。可知，該段介紹了清理肉類食物有可能將細菌留在廚房。再由下文中的 And clean your hands after you' ve finished the cooking 可知，設空處給出了一種解決辦法，由此推知， C 項 To stay safe, don't wash the meat when preparing it. （為了安全起見，烹調時不要洗肉。）切題。故選 C 。

3 ．由上文中的 Concern about chemical remains isn't a good enough reason to do the removing“ 對化學殘留物的擔憂並不是進行移除的充分理由 ” 以及設空處所在的位置可知 , 這裏還需要給出建議。 G 項中的 remove some chemicals from the surface 是提示。由此推知， G 項 Washing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface. （清洗你的產品會去除表面的一些化學物質。）切題。故選 G 。

4 ．由下文中的 They're often short of protein and healthy fat 可知，設空處提到了有關 They 的內容，並且指出 They 是一些缺乏蛋白質和健康脂肪的食物。再由上文中的 smoothie 可知，這裏指一些類似思慕雪的飲料。由此推知， B 項 But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced. （但這些飲料很可能是不平衡的。）切題。故選 B 。

5 ．該段缺一個結尾句。由小標題 Overdressing salads 可知，該段主要説明對沙拉過度添加一些輔料，導致原本健康的飲食變得不那麼健康。作為結尾句要給大家提出一些建議， E 項中的 better choices 以及 taste of your greens 是提示。由此推知， E 項 Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens. （堅果是改善蔬菜味道的更好選擇。）切題。故選 E 。
