Insects are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein(蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.

Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!

Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.

But insects will not replace(替代) animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they don’t traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.

Some people are trying to deal with this problem. For example, David George Gordon wrote a book named Eat-A-Bug Cookbook, which tries to show people that insects can be delicious. Other insect experts travel around telling people about the benefit（益处） of eating insects. But they still have a lot of work to do.

( )62. Eating insects ____________.

A. is not healthy B. makes people put on fat C. helps protect large animals D. is environmentally friendly ( )63. The examples of Marcel Dicke is given to show ________.

( )64. What mainly causes the long way that eating insects has to go?

A. Their terrible taste B. People’s old belief C. family life D. eating ways ( )65. We can infer(推断) from David and other insect experts that __________.

A. people can make a lot of money from insects B. insects should be better protected C. people should eat more insects D. It’s dangerous to eat insects

It is difficult to find true friends these days. A lot of people tend to backstab(背后伤人). Some make friends just to use them. Others promise to be your friends but they are never there when you need them the most. They appear only when they need something from you.

Once you find a friend who is worth keeping, make sure to take care of what you have with that person. How? Here are some tips on how to make friendship last forever:

1.Call for no reason. Call just to say “Hi” or just to ask “ What’s up?” You don’t need a huge or an important reason to call a friend. If you can’t call, just send an e-mail. This would send a message that you remember your friends on a random (随意的) time of the day.

2. Know when to say I’m sorry and thank you. Don’t let pride get in the way, especially when you are at fault. The word “sorry” already has saved a lot of friendships. Show appreciation for the things, big or little, that your friend does for you. Did she listen to you when you were complaining about that physics exam? Did he offer his shoulders for you to cry on when your boyfriend broke your heart? Say thank you. It’s that easy.

3. Avoid hurtful words. If you have nothing good to say, don’t talk at all. Don’t hurt your friend’s feelings by saying hurtful words that, most of the time, you don’t really mean. If you’re a true friend, you will be careful with your words.

4. Be honest. Don’t lie to a friend. Trust is the foundation of true friendship. Write them a note from time to time. Also, try to be thoughtful. Give simple gifts that will make their day.

5. Know how to keep a secret and show your friends that they can depend on you to be there whatever happens. If you promise to keep the secrets for your friends, just do it.

6. Never be mean(小气的) with your time. Spare some time to see your friends however busy you are. You can always spare an hour or two after school or work to visit them.

If you are the type of person who knows how to take care of friendship, you definitely are a keeper!
