Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．D;3．C;4．A;
解析：

(1)	文章第一段提到They want to hear messages about healthy food也就是人們想了解健康食物(無害)的信息。故本題應選B。
(2)	文章第五段提到It is believed that…In fact, this unnatural food will become a problem in the future, 所以本題應選D。
(3)	文章最后兩段中提到“我們不應該被誤導認為吃一些價格貴的特別食品就能保持健康，而有時我們需要的大部分營養存在于價格偏低的天然食物中”。所以本題應選C。
