         Between school, homework, sports, your afterschool job, and hanging out with friends, it may
    feel like there's no time for healthy eating. And when you do stop to eat, it's probably tempting to
    go the quick and easy route by grabbing a burger and fries, potato chips, or candy.
         Even if you take time to eat three meals a day, you may still feel hungry at times.  This is
    natural-during teens, a person's body demands more nutrients to grow. What's the answer? Healthy
    snacks. Snacking on nutritious food can keep your energy level high and your mind alert without
    taking up a lot of your time. Snacks are a great way to satisfy that hunger and get all the vitamins
    and nutrients your body needs.
         But you need to pay attention to what you eat. Filling your face with a large order of fries after
    class may give you a temporary help, but a snack high in fat and calories will only slow you down
    in the long run.
         To keep energy levels going-and avoid weight gain-keep clear of foods with lots of simple
    carbohydrates (sugars) like candy bars or soda. Look for foods that contain complex carbohydrates
    like wholegrain breads and cereals and combine them with proteinrich snacks such as peanut butter
    or lowfat yogurt (酸奶) or cheese.
         Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart. Be careful of the health claims on food packages.
    Just because something is "all natural" or "pure" doesn't necessarily mean that it's nutritious. For
    example, "all natural" juice drinks or sodas can be filled with sugar (which is, after all, a natural

    ingredient) but all that sugar means they'll be high in calories and give you little nutrition.
         A granola (麦片) bar is a good example of a snack that people think is healthy. Although granola
    bars can be a good source of certain vitamins and nutrients, many also contain a great deal of fat,
    including a particularly harmful type of fat called trans fat (反式脂肪酸). Check the Nutrition Facts
    label on the package to be sure.

    1. People think that granola bar is healthy because ________.
    A. it is a good source of calories                        
    B. it provides trans fat
    C. it contains some vitamins          
    D. it is natural
    2. In choosing healthy snacks, we should try to make sure that ________.
    A. they are all natural or pure                          
    B. they are high in nutrition
    C. their packages are good                  
    D. they contain harmless fat
    3. Teens need snacks to ________. 
    A. keep a good figure            
    B. gain weight
    C. help grow                  
    D. keep healthy
    4. According to the passage, all the following snacks are good EXCEPT ________.
    A. peanut butter                        
    B. fries
    C. lowfat yogurt                        
    D. wholegrain bread

         On a PC (个人电脑), having to fill out a form and type in a credit card number to buy something
    is only mildly annoying. On a cellphone, it could make you want to skip the purchase entirely.
         This is why investors, startups (初创企业) and major corporations are pouring money into services
    that make it easier to use cellphones to buy goods and transfer money. The aim is to turn phones into
    virtual credit cards or checkbooks, enabling the kind of clickandbuy commerce and online banking that
    people have come to expect on their PCs. But shrinking down (缩小) those services presents serious
    challenges.
         The services must work on many different phones and through many cellphone service providers,
    which usually control the billing relationships with customers. That adds complexity to the already tricky
    business of safely and securely transferring funds among financial institutions and merchants.
         Mobile payment systems have been tried before, with only modest success. Driving a new flurry (一
    阵兴奋) of deal making, industry analysts and executives say, is the success of the iPhone, BlackBerry
    and other sophisticated (尖端的) devices. These phones make complex interactions easier.
         Now the race is on to develop new payment systems-and to get several percentage points in fees
    from each transaction. They're seeing that returns could be so huge. Obopay, a startup that lets people
    transmit money to one another via text message, raised $ 35 million from Nokia's investment. Also, a
    mobile payments startup called Boku announced that it had received $ 13 million in venture capital
    financing.
         When people can use their phone numbers to make a purchase, they are 10 times as likely to follow
    through on a transaction as when they have to type in credit card and billing information, said David
    Marcus, chief executive of a startup called Zong.
         Mobile payment companies also need to get cooperation from merchants, which must add a payment
    option to their mobile sites or applications.
         But the potential opportunity to get fees from the growing number of mobile transactions is too__
    juicy__to__pass__up,__despite the risks, said an analyst with IDC Financial Insights, a market research
    company.
    1. From the passage, we should face ________ great difficulties while purchasing through
        cellphones instead of PCs. 
    A. one                
    B. two
    C. three                
    D. four
    2. According to the passage, using phones to make a purchase is ________.
    A. expensive            
    B. convenient
    C. troublesome          
    D. impossible
    3. What does the underlined phrase "too juicy to pass up" in the last paragraph probably mean?
    A. Too profitable to ignore.                            
    B. Too difficult to seize.
    C. Too heavy to lift.                                    
    D. Too unsafe to handle.
    4. What would be the best title for the passage? 
    A. The Benefit of Purchasing via Cellphone
    B. The Great Risks on Payments via Cellphone
    C. How to Deal with Payments via Cellphone
    D. Investors Bet on Payments via Cellphone
