Organic Food:Why?
1 Europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world,expanding by 25 percent a year over
the past 10 years.So what is the attraction of organic food for some people?The really important thing is
that organic sounds more"natural".Eating organic is a way of defining oneself as natural,good,caring,
different from the junk-food-eating masses.
2 Unlike conventional farming,the organic approach means farming with natural,rather than man-
made , fertilisers and pesticides. Techniques such as crop rotation（轮种）improve soil quality and help
organic farmers compensate for the absence of man-made chemicals.As a method of food production,organic
is,however,inefficient in its use of labour and land;there are severe limits to how much food can be pro-
duced.Also,the environmental benefits of not using artificial fertilisers are tiny compared with the amount of
carbon dioxide emitted（排放）by transporting food.
3 Organic farming is often claimed to be safer than conventional farming. Yet studies into organic
farming worldwide continue to reject this claim.An extensive review by the UK Food Standards Agency found
that there was no statistically significant difference between organic and conventional crops.Even where re-
sults indicated there was evidence of a difference,the reviewers found no sign that these differences would
have any noticeable effect on health.
4 The simplistic claim that organic food is more nutritious than conventional food was always likely to
be misleading. Food is a natural product,and the health value of different foods will vary for a number of rea-
sons,including freshness,the way the food is cooked,the type of soil it is grown in,the amount of sunlight
and rain crops have received,and so'on.Likewise,the flavour of a carrot has less to do with whether it was
fertilised with manure（粪便）or something out of a plastic sack than with the variety of carrot and how long
ago it was dug up.
5 The notion that organic food is safer than"normal"food is also contradicted by the fact that many of
our most common foods are full of natural toxins（毒素）.As one research expert says: "People think that the
more natural something is,the better it is for them.That is simply not the case.In fact,it is the opposite
that is true:the closer a plant is to its natural state,the more likely it is that it will poison you.Naturally,
many plants do not want to be eaten,so we have spent 10,000 years developing agriculture and breeding out
harmful traits from crops."
The closer a plant is to its natural state,the less suitable it is to__________.
A.affect their nutritional content
B.poison you
C.improve soil quality
D.be eaten
E.show that organic crops are safer than conventional ones
F.be soeciallv trained

Why Would They Falsely Confess?
Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime?To most
people,it just doesn't seem logical .But it is logical,say experts,if you understand what
can happen in a police interrogation（审讯）room.
Under the right conditions, people's minds are susceptible（易受影响的）to influence, and t
he pressure put on suspects during police grillings（盘问）is enormous.________(1)
"The pressure is important to understand,because otherwise it's impossible to understand why
someone would say he did something he didn't do.The answer is:to put an end to an
uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess."
Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to
determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn't do.________(2)The
researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting
the"alt"key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.
Redlich's findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely
confess : 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately comfessd.
__________ (3) Of the 15 to 16 year olds, 72 percent signed confessions ,as did 78
percent of the 1 2-to-1 3-year olds.
"There's no question that young people are more at risk, " says Saul Kassin, a
psychology professor at Williams College,who has done similar studies with similar results.
________(4)
Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire"interrogation"in their experiments
consisted of a simple accusation一not hours of aggressive questioning一and still,most
participants falsely confessed.
Because of the stress of a police interrogation,they conclude,suspects can become
convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation.________(5)
_________（3）
A.In her experiment,participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the"alt" key,because doing so would crash the systems.
B."In some ways,"says Kassin,"false confession becomes a rational decision."
C." It's a little like somebody's working on them with a dental（牙齿的）drill," says Franklin Zimring,a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
D."But adults are highly vulnerable too."
E.How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn't do?
F.Redlich also found that the younger the participant,the more likely a false confession.
