A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly, The sympto
31、ms ( 症状) of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms. Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the
32、body, these tiny living things release (释放) poisons that make people sick. Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a
33、bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops. Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms. When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorg
34、anisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with ditty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous micr
35、oorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous. Most

56、 environment. The first caves appear as seven mysterious black dots （点） on the pictures which were sent back by NASAs Mars Odyssey orbiter. Each as large as a football field, they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian surface. “If there is life on Mars, there is a good chance that you
57、d find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne, one of the researchers who noticed the features (特征) while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program. Jonathan Clarke, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting. One photo taken at night by a
58、n infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusually warm, suggesting hot air may be flowing out. “I said: Wow, thats a cave” Dr. Clarke said excitedly. “People have been looking for these for a long time; now we have found them.” He agreed such caves could be perfect places to search for life
59、escaping from the bitterly cold, radiation-soaked(充满辐射的), dry surface. “Tiny drops of water could collect inside,” he said. “If there are gases coming out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria (细菌). A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high
60、 levels of space radiation.” The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lava flows(管状岩浆流) spread across the planet long ago. The outside of the tubes cooled, forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining to flow out, forming caves. 56. What does the passage mainly talk abo
61、ut? A. How the caves were formed on Mars.B. How NASA sent the pictures back to earthC. Caves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign（迹象）of life. D. Scientists have completely recognized the surface of Mars. 57. We can learn from the passage that _. A. water has already been found on Mars B. the sci
62、entists found all the caves at night C. it is certain that there is life in these caves D. the surface of Mars is bitterly cold, radiation-soaked and dry 58. According to the passage, Dr. Clarke was so excited because _. A. such caves could provide energy for life B. they had finally found the caves
63、 on Mars C. such caves would be perfect places to search for life D. There would be life on Mars. 59. Necessary conditions for life on Mars mentioned in the passage may include_.
