VeganismVeganism. What does it mean? To some of you, it might be a completely new word. And it’s certainly a word I have only become familiar within recent years. A vegan diet is one that contains no animal products. That means no meat, no milk, no eggs, etc.I became interested in the vegan lifestyle months ago. As I was surfing videos on the Internet, I came across a woman called Freelee. She claimed to regularly eat around fifty bananas a day to stay healthy.Fifty bananas! I quickly realized that this was not the diet for me. However, what she was saying about veganism did “pique” my interest. And I went on to watch many more vegan videos. Eventually, I switched to veganism about six months ago.I start off with a fruit drink made of bananas, berries and orange juice. For lunch, I typically have potato fries with a sweet sauce. For dinner I normally have rice with a tomato sauce and some vegetables. I even make tasty vegan puddings. One of my favorites coconut cream mixed with chocolate powder and sugar.While veganism is often associated with physical weakness, that is certainly not the case for me. I have discovered many delicious vegan products, which one might never consider as vegan.Personally, eating this way has given me a much more positive outlook on life. Another vegan Kristina’s story is even more amazing. Kristina was bitten by a deadly spider. She was not given the medicines required to survive the bite. Yet she made a full and speedy recovery. She attributes it to the magic power of a vegan lifestyle.15.Kristina is mentioned because she ____.

概括段落大意和补全句子Bottled Water① Over the last 15 years, more and more people in the US have been drinking bottled water. There is no sign of slowing down. In fact, sales of bottled water are going up faster than other kinds of drinks. It is true even in cities where it is safe to drink tap water. This is a disaster for the environment and for our health.② Most bottled water comes from underground water. Much of this underground water has flowed into rivers and lakes. Using this water can make droughts (干旱) worse. Many companies use water from mountain glaciers (冰川), but this is not much better—when the glacier melts, the water usually flows to areas like rivers or wetlands. When companies take glacier water, they take it from areas that need it.③ It takes about 1.6 liters of water to make one liter of bottled water. This wastes a lot of water. Also transporting the bottled water to stores burns fuel and creates pollution. The problems do not stop when the water reaches people who buy it. Water bottles are made from plastic which does not break down. Although it can be recycled, people usually do not put it in the recycle can.④ Some may say that bottled water is safer and healthier than tap water. But that is not true. Sometimes chemicals or bacteria get into bottled water, and companies have to destroy them. Actually, tap water is often healthier than bottled water. Bottled water may lack fluoride (氟化物) which protects our health. Fluoride is found in tiny amounts in tap water.⑤ Obviously, more people need to know that tap water is safer and healthier. Unfortunately, tap water cannot advertise itself. When a product that is cheaper and better does not win, that is bad news. When the product is water, we all lose.16. Paragraph 117. Paragraph 2 18.
