　　In western countries today, more and more foods have additives¹（添加剂） in them. What are additives? Additives are chemicals（化学制品） which are put into foods to give them color and taste, to stop them going bad, and so on…… but doctors say that some additives can be bad for us.
　　Now let's look at how additives can be bad for our health. Take, for example, a little English girl called Sally Jones/ sally is two years old and quite an ordinary little girl. But when she was younger, she never went to sleep at night. She never got tired. Finally, Sally's parents took her to a special doctor. He said that she must never eat food with additives in it. He was sure that the additives had a very bad effect on her body, and made her too active（活跃的）. He was quite correct. As soon as sally started to eat foods without additives, she began to sleep well at night. Now she is the same as other little girls, except that she can't eat many foods that children love, such as ice cream, because they have additives in them.

　　Passage one:
　　My aunt Aggie² often thought she was able to sine, but I am sorry to say her singing was terrible. One day she asked a piano-tuner（调音师） to come and tune³ her piano. He came, and when he tried to tune the piano, it seemed to be all right. However, he thought he had better do something though he would rather have gone away. So he went over it carefully and made a very good job of it. A few days later aunt Aggie rang up again to say she didn't think the man had done it properly. The man's boss was very angry, and I need hardly say the piano-tuner himself was very surprised. However, he went again to the house. Aggie said, “ Let me play it.” So he heard her play it. It was perfectly⁴ in tune but she made him tune it again. The next day she rang up again and said, “it is easy to see that your man doesn't know his job.
