Some of the world's biggest junk food makers are being paid millions of pounds of taxpayers' money to develop healthier snacks.
   They are being handed grants by Vince Cable's Business Department to meet pledges（承諾）to cut the salt and fat content of their food.Many firms have received the cash.The money is being used for research into new technologies and ingredients.
   But critics have condemned the use of the public purse to help billion-pound companies because they have already benefited from tax breaks available for carrying out research and development.
   At least ￡2.9 million has been handed over.While the work is done in cooperation with academic researchers at universities，the projects are manufacturer-led and commercial gain is the main consideration.Some companies have their own multimillion-pound research and development facilities which have received hundreds of thousands of pounds in funding.
   In an attempt to curb people's obesity，170 companies signed a voluntary pledge to reduce the calories and levels of salt in their products.More than 390 have now signed up to the Public Health Responsibility Deal.Critics say junk food makers should be properly regulated rather than being allowed to sign up to a voluntary deal.
   A spokesman in one of the companies added，"By working in partnership in this way and co-funding important research，we can have a wide-reaching，positive impact on the health of the nation."

1．Obviously，most people who try to lose weight generally focus all or most of their attention on the foods they eat.But what about their behaviour？Are there habits they could be breaking that would also help them lose weight？
   According to the Ohio State University Extension，which summarised the findings，the researchers learned people who routinely ate breakfasts，lunches，and dinners tended to have more success losing weight than people whose eating schedules were irregular.As a bonus，they were also more likely to eat a larger quantity of fruit and vegetables.
   One activity that brought a disaster to people who wanted to lose weight was watching television，particularly if they ate while watching TV-and especially if they ate while watching TV after 7 p.m.People who did these things，including simply watching a lot of television，tended to have a higher body mass index （BMI），as well as a higher intake of fat and sugars.
   Those who ate out a lot also tended to take in more fat and sugars，while eating a smaller quantity of fruit and vegetables.For the purpose of the study，eating away from home was defined not only as eating in restaurants but also eating food provided by an employer，eating food provided by colleagues at work，and buying food at convenience stores or gas stations.
   Finally，the best results were achieved by those motivated people who kept written track of the amount and type of exercise they did and how many calories they ate，who planned meals，and used meal replacements.Those who did these things the most generally lost more weight，ate less fat and fewer sugars，ate more fruit and vegetables，and engaged in more physical activities.
   So cutting out all those high-calorie snacks will help you lose weight.But so，apparently，will change some of your habits and behaviours.

（1）What can we know from the passage？

A．Eating irregularly will leave you in a good figure.

A．Because they did nothing but watch TV after 7 a.m.
B．Because they were fond of watching TV at noon.
C．Because they had a particular love for sweets.
D．Because they developed a kind of bad habit.
（3）What does the fourth paragraph imply？

A．The bosses like to invite his employees to dinner.
B．More and more people are content to eat out.
C．Eating away from home does harm to health.
D．It is very convenient to have dinners outside.
（4）What is the author's purpose in the passage？

2．Seventy years ago，a group of well-known people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
   It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras（交響樂團）.It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly.
   At the same time，the "Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.
   Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to Edinburgh each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small halls to the local people.
   Today the "Fringe"，once less recognised，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.
   A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

（1）What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning？
