Passage one
What you’ve always heard? We’re eating way too much salt. The average
American gets about 3.4grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2.3grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake(摄取量)nationwide could prevent 100,000death everyday.
The headlines now?it’s time to get tough. The New York City health department
recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average person’s dietcomes from those sources, not from the saltshaker( 盐瓶).But wait. The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly murky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not--so-salty food --- and the results have pointed in every direction. Somestudies suggest that cutting salt protect the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction canactually increase heart problems. What’s needed, Dr. Michel Alderman says, is a randomized(随机的),controlled trial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years. It’s the only one way to get a reliable answer, but it’s never beendone.
So what should you done? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce.
Those change will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume. If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to controlit with drugs and lifestyle changes. If your blood pressure healthy？At this point,there’s no convincing reason for you to count every grain.

Passage Two
There is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house,particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings madeof straw bales(大捆) on his land.
They have tried to fine him. A lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem isthat California ’s  building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr.Brush has many defenders－among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg. the chairman of the United States Green Building Council’s  code
committee . They would like to see the prejudice against straw house eliminated, forstraw is. in many ways,. an ideal building material.
It is. for one thing. a great insulator(绝缘体) . That keeps down the heating bills inhouses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and istherefore cheap . And－very much to the point in a place like California－it is aearthquake－resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showedthat straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motionrecorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit Los Angeles in 1994 .
There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque. a .school in Maryland. and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw . Even California is having a rethink. and may change its rules to adapt to straw－bale construction. As Mr Eisenberg observes.  “the lesion of the ThreeLittle Pigs isn ’t to avoid straw . It ’s that you don ’t let a pig build your house.
