24、 it had changed my views of the current US president. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book. However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to

25、a book liar.And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In the World Book Day survey, Dreams from My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As Im no

26、t one to lie too often, Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984.

27、his could be difficult if the conversation became more in depth!The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it.

32、lready genetically engineered, often to produce more food, fight against pests or improve nutrition. But concern is growing over the lasting effects of changing nature. While existing research has found little harm in genetic engineering, a recent study found the flower powder of a genetically engin

33、eered corn can kill the normal butterfly. This finding made many people nervous and brought attention to the topic.Dining out Americans are increasingly eating meals away from home, both in sit-down restaurants and in fast food outlets. In the last decade alone there was a 14 percent decrease in the

34、 number of meals eaten at home. At the same time, restaurants are just beginning to really open their doors on the Internet. Websites exist to make restaurant reservations (预约), view menus, and get tips from your favorite chefs. The dining out trend and the demand for high-quality, chef-prepared foo

35、d have encouraged chefs to spend time out of the kitchen teaching classes, appearing on TV, and writing cookbooks.Eating in Eating in doesnt always mean cooking.

36、 meals can be ordered over the Internet.

40、 of cropsD. not care about the effects of bad weatherCAccording to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enorm

41、ous and very human problem.The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic groups.
