A
Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago．
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly．Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times．So they are called “diseases of civilization（文明）”．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes（中风）are examples of such diseases．
Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol（酒精）or tobacco, probably none．Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today．
Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals．They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits．They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains．But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods．We eat six times more salt than stone-age people．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein（蛋白质）and much less vitamin C．
People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods． 41．The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate ．
A．more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did

A．Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise B．People today have a lot of alcohol C．People today have more tobacco
D．Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times
44．Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of ．

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public．Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before．He hopes the public will listen and understand he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him．
What visual（视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colours, not words．They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colours, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us．Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colours, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist．
Most artists take their shapes and colours from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose（动态和静态）, their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights．Contemporary（当代的）artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern that there is nothing more in it．Yet even they do choose entirely without reference to the
