读：你见过蓝色和绿色的蜂蜜吗？这些奇怪颜色的蜂蜜是怎么来的呢？
The colorful honey
Blue
and
green
honey
may
look
cool,
but
beekeepers
in
northeastern
France
are
not happy about their
strange-looking new product.
Over the past few months, beekeepers in
Ribeauvill
é
, a town located
in the Alsace
region, have noticed that
bees there have been making honey in many strange
colors.
Bees
have
been
returning
to
apiaries
with
different
colors
coating
their
bodies.
The
colors then
①
end
up polluting the honey.
A
recent research showed that a nearby
M&M
’
s factory is behind the
change in
color.
Waste from
the factory
has
been
exposing the
bees to a number of chemicals.
Some of the chemicals are used in the
outer shells of the candies, which come in many
bright colors.
The
local
beekeepers
do
not
know
if
the
polluted
honey
is
dangerous
to
eat,
but
they are not taking any
chances. They are
②
throwing
away the candy-colored honey,
which
means a big loss to local businesses.
“
For me,
it
’
s not
honey,
”
Alain
Frieh, leader of the town
’
s
beekeepers union, tells
the Reuters
news agency.
“
It
’
s
not
sellable
.
”
The honey industry
in this part of France has been suffering this
year. According to
Frieh,
many bees died last
winter
or were unable to make honey because of the bad
weather. This new problem of colored
honey is hurting the
beekeepers
’
way
of life even
more.
The
region
③
is
home
to
about
2,400
beekeepers
and
35,000
colonies
of
bees,
according
to
Alsace
’
s
chamber
of
agriculture.
④
The
beekeepers
harvest
approximately
1,000
tons
of
honey
each
year,
making
the
product
a
big
part
of
the
region
’
s economy.
Agrivalor
is
the
company
that
processes
the
M&M's
factory's
waste.
According
to
co-manager
Philippe
Meinrad,
the
company
has
been
⑤
attempting
to
stop
the
pollution.
“
We discovered the problem
⑥
at the same time they
did,
”
Meinrad
tells Reuters.
“
We quickly
put in place a
procedure
to
stop it.
”
彩色的蜂蜜
蓝色和绿色的蜂蜜可能看
起来很酷，但法国东北部的养蜂人却不喜欢这种看起来怪异的产品。
< br>在过去的几个月中，
位于阿尔萨斯地区的维列小镇上的养蜂人注意到那里的蜜蜂酿
出了许多奇
怪颜色的蜂蜜。蜜蜂身上带着不同的颜色返回养蜂场。那些颜色最终染到了蜂
蜜中。
一项最新研究发现附近的一家
M&M
’
s
工厂是造成蜂蜜改变颜色的
根源。那家工厂排放出来
的废物使蜜蜂受到那些化学物的影响。
其中的一些化学物用于糖果的外包装，
那是许多鲜艳的颜色
的根
源。
当地养蜂者不知道吃那些被染色的蜂蜜是否有危险，
但他们没有冒险。
他们把那些糖果色的蜂
蜜
扔掉了，这对他们造成了很大损失。
Alain Frieh
是当地养蜂协会的一位领导人，告诉路透新闻社说：
“对于我来
说，这不是蜂蜜，
不能出售。
”
今年以来，法国这部分地区的蜂蜜行业一直遭受着被染色的侵扰。据
Frieh
说，由于恶劣的天
气，去年冬天许多蜜蜂死亡或者不
能酿蜜。而现在的染色蜂蜜问题更加严重影响了养蜂者的生产。
根据阿尔萨斯农业委员会，该地区是大约
2,400
养蜂户的
基地，那里有
35,000
个蜂群。每年
养蜂户们收获近乎
1,000
吨蜂蜜，这使得蜂蜜成为该地区
经济的重要产业。
Agrivalor
是处理
M&M
’
s
< br>工厂废物的企业。根据合作经营者
Philippe Meinrad
，该公司一
直在努力阻止污染。
Meinrad
告诉路透社，
“在他们发现的同时，我
们也发现了该问题。我们很快地采取了措施来
防止污染。

卷）
Many of us
love July because it
’
s the
month when nature
’
s berries
and stone fruits
are in abundance.
These colourful and sweet jewels form British
Columbia
’
s fields are
little powerhouses of nutritional
protection.
Of the common
berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C,
although, because of
their seeds,
raspberries contain a little more protein
(
蛋白质
), iron and zinc (not
that fruits
have much protein).
Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants
(
抗氧化物质
). The
yellow and orange stone fruits such as
peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into
vitamin A and which are antioxidants.
As for cherries (
樱桃
), they
are so delicious who
cares? However,
they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries of slices of
other fruits, frozen bananas make an
excellent base for thick, cooling fruit
shakes and low fat
“
ice
cream
”
. For this purpose,
select ripe bananas for freezing as
they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place
them in plastic bags or containers and
freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon
juice
on the bananas will prevent them
turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several
weeks,
depending on their ripeness and
the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply
feed in frozen bananas and some berries or
sliced fruit. Out comes a
“
soft-
serve
”
creamy
dessert, to be eaten right away. This
makes a fun activity for a
children
’
s party; they love
feeding the fruit and frozen
bananas
into the top of the machine and watching the ice
cream come out below.
1.

cherries?

protein.

2.
Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing
bananas?
A. To make them

C. To speed up
their ripening.
B. To keep their
colour.
D. To improve their
nutrition.

“

Your house may
have an effect on your figure . Experts say the
way you design your
home could play a
role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep
them off . You can
make your
environment work for you instead of against you .
Here are some ways to turn
your home
into part of diet plan.
Open
the
curtains
and
turn
up
the
lights.
Dark
environments
are
more
likely
to
encourage overeating, for people are
often less self-
conscious(
难为情
)when
they
’
re in
poorly
lit
places-and
so
more
likely
to
eat
lots
of
food.
If
your
home
doesn
’
t
have
enough window light,
get more lamps and flood the place with
brightness.
Mind
the
colors.
Research
suggests
warm
colors
fuel
our
appetites .
In
one
study,
people who ate meals in a blue room
consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow
or
red
room .
Warm
colors
like
yellow
make
food
appear
more
appetizing,
while
cold
colors make us feel
less hungry. So when it
’
s
time to repaint, go blue.
Don
’
t forget the
clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to
consume about
70
fewer
calories(
卡路里
)
per
meal
than
those
who
rush
through
their
meals.
Begin
keeping track of the time, and try to
make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while
you
’
re at it, actually sit
down to eat. If you need some help slowing down,
turn on relaxing
music. It makes you
less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize
the
dishes.
Big
serving
bowls
and
plates
can
easily
make
us
fat.
We
eat
about 22
percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of
a 10-inch plate. When we
choose a large
spoon over a smaller one, total
intake(
摄入
) jumps by 14
percent. And
B. A health
magazine.
D. A
travel brochure.
