Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies is far more advanced than that of the ancient. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our bodies. There are on the market all kinds of vitamin pills which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things which are needed for normal health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our bodies without these pills and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamin pills unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them. 

Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our bodies, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay no attention to others, we may have too much of one kind of chemical substance and not enough of others. Then, we may be in trouble. 

We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary protein. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any. 

Question 27. According to the passage, we now know _________. 

A. more and more about food and health

Make Home A Little Nicer 

Some people think that if they don't have a yard, they can't keep a garden. Fortunately, that's not true. For people who live in apartment buildings, there is another option: rooftop gardens. 

A rooftop garden is just a garden that you keep on your roof. Rooftop gardens are very popular in cities. Most building roots go to waste - people don't use that space for anything. Putting a garden on your roof is a nice way to turn an empty space into something that is pretty and relaxing. 

Rooftop gardens have nice benefits. Plants absorb heat, so if there are a lot of them on a rooftop, they make the whole building cooler. As a result, people in the building use the air conditioning less, which means they use less electricity. One study said that if every roof in Tokyo had a garden, the city would save more than a million dollars a day on electricity. 

Rooftop gardening is harder than regular gardening. Here are a few tips. First of all, be safe. Build a fence around your garden. You don't want the wind to blow plants off your roof. Also, remember that rooftop gardens get more sun. If you have a plant that shouldn't get too much sun. Remember to put it in the shade sometimes. 

There are many other things that you need to know before you start a rooftop garden. Do some research and then give a try. You'll make your little part of the city much nicer. 

Question 27. what can rooftop gardens do for a building? 

A. They can make the building warmer. 

B. They can make rent in the building cheaper. 

C. They can make the building cooler. 

D. They can make the building safer. 

Question 28. Why should you build a fence around a rooftop garden? 

A. A fence will stop the plants from blowing off. 

B. A fence will help you save money. 

C. A fence will make the plants grow faster. 

D. A fence will keep the plants cooler. 

Question 29. What does the word they in the 1 st line refer to? 

A. Plants   B. People   C. Buildings   D. Rooftop gardens 

Question 23. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true? 

A. You should do research before you start a rooftop garden.
