Question

【题目】Where does your food come from? How is it made? These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U．S. started testing food.

These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good food safety system keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels(标签) on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.

Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice－cream. The ice－cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make_more_money. When this happens, people don't know if their food is safe.

As we all know, food is closely related to our daily life. We should take action to make food safer!

短文大意：本文关注的是食品安全。早在1906年，美国人对食品安全感到担忧，开始食物检验；当今很多食物因为有法律保护都是安全的，然而，法律的监控仍然不够，更重要的是要让人自觉遵循；另外，食品安全体系虽然有效，但有时错误也会发生。所以，食品安全与我们息息相关，我们需采取行动让食品更安全。
