Passage 3
A study presented in proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA,
indicates that broccoli, grown under the right conditions, contains sulforaphane
glucosinolate (SGS), a substance that may boost the body’s natural defense systems
against cancer and even kill cancer cells. But you would have to eat pounds of
broccoli to get enough SGS to be effective. Continued food research by John
Hopkins University, Baltimore, and the USDA, however, found that three-day-old broccoli
seedlings contain a concentrated amount of SGS -- 20 times the amount found in
broccoli -- so only an ounce provides the same benefits. Sold as BroccoSprouts,
the seedlings are grown under controlled conditions to ensure SGS content, and
can be used on salads, sandwiches and omelets for a “zingy” taste. They have been
patented by John Hopkins University, and 19 growers nationwide are licensed to
grow them. BroccoSprouts are available in select grocery and health food stores
nationwide.

Passage 4
Sometimes just “saving” in general is not enough incentive to keep families on the budget track. You need a goal to get started. To use a dietanalogy, it’s easier to lose 10 pounds when your high school reunion isaround the corner. A goal not only gives a family something to reach for,it makes a savings plan short term.Knowing you don’t have to give something up forever makes thesacrifice easier. Once you’ve reached your goal, you can abandon yourstrategy or apply those savings to a new object.That approach worked for Cynthia McIntyre, who launched a searchfor extra savings after she spotted an antique table that fit perfectly in herliving room -- but not in her budget.
McIntyre went over her checkbook carefully and realized she was buying 10
books every month. A lifelong reader, she couldn’t wait to rush out and snap up
a new release. “It was a $400-a-year habit,” she says. The worst part was, many
of the books didn’t live up to the reviews and McIntyre gave them away. Now she
gets the latest bestsellers from the local library. “Reading them a little later doesn’t
spoil the story,” she concludes.

1. give up all expenses
2. cut the family budget

4. change one’s lifestyle

1. have more willpower to achieve your goal
2. can give up after a certain time has passed
3. will get what you want more easily
4. do not have to give up your intention
66. The phrase “That approach” (line 9) refers to .
1. setting a new objective
2. reapplying the strategy
3. searching for extra savings
4. working toward a goal
67. Cynthia McIntyre was trying to save up money for .
1. hardcover books
2. the latest best sellers
3. an antique table
4. a kitchen gadget

Passage 3
A study presented in proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA,
indicates that broccoli, grown under the right conditions, contains sulforaphane
glucosinolate (SGS), a substance that may boost the body’s natural defense systems
against cancer and even kill cancer cells. But you would have to eat pounds of
broccoli to get enough SGS to be effective. Continued food research by John
Hopkins University, Baltimore, and the USDA, however, found that three-day-old broccoli
seedlings contain a concentrated amount of SGS -- 20 times the amount found in
broccoli -- so only an ounce provides the same benefits. Sold as BroccoSprouts,
the seedlings are grown under controlled conditions to ensure SGS content, and
can be used on salads, sandwiches and omelets for a “zingy” taste. They have been
patented by John Hopkins University, and 19 growers nationwide are licensed to
grow them. BroccoSprouts are available in select grocery and health food stores
nationwide.

Passage 4
Sometimes just “saving” in general is not enough incentive to keep families on the budget track. You need a goal to get started. To use a dietanalogy, it’s easier to lose 10 pounds when your high school reunion isaround the corner. A goal not only gives a family something to reach for,it makes a savings plan short term.Knowing you don’t have to give something up forever makes thesacrifice easier. Once you’ve reached your goal, you can abandon yourstrategy or apply those savings to a new object.That approach worked for Cynthia McIntyre, who launched a searchfor extra savings after she spotted an antique table that fit perfectly in herliving room -- but not in her budget.
McIntyre went over her checkbook carefully and realized she was buying 10
books every month. A lifelong reader, she couldn’t wait to rush out and snap up
a new release. “It was a $400-a-year habit,” she says. The worst part was, many
of the books didn’t live up to the reviews and McIntyre gave them away. Now she
gets the latest bestsellers from the local library. “Reading them a little later doesn’t
spoil the story,” she concludes.

1. have more willpower to achieve your goal
2. can give up after a certain time has passed
3. will get what you want more easily
4. do not have to give up your intention
66. The phrase “That approach” (line 9) refers to .
