25、hemicals that caused worry in earlier decades have been removed from microwave popcorn,but some critics still are not satisfied. You may consider popcorn to be a low-calorie,high-fiber snack,but microwave popcorn isnt a healthy choice, explains nutrition expert Dan DeFigio. Thats because microwave p
26、opcorn bags were coated with perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) to prevent oil substance from leaking out.One particular type of PFC, known as perfluorooctanoic acid ( PFOA),has been linked to certain cancers,but the American Cancer Society says the evidence is unsure and more research is being done ab
27、out this. Nevertheless, in response to concerns about PFCs,the U.S.Food and Drug Administration （FDA) worked with popcorn makers back in 2011 to remove PFOA from their packaging.Three more PFCs were banned in the next five years. So todays microwave popcorn doesnt have these chemicals,but critics sa
28、y that the alternatives could cause problems as the old ones,but less is known about them. Thats not the only problem,however.The chemical that for decades lent buttery deliciousness to popcom has also been connected in rare cases with major lung damage.Known as diacetyl(二乙酰），its long been a documen
29、ted problem with workers in popcorn making facilities,but also can be risky for people who just eat the snack a lot. A 2007 study published in the journal Critical Reviews found that more than 80 percent of chemical release happened when the bag was opened post-popping. Although diacetyl has been re
30、moved from most products,some critics claim that the alternative to diacetyl is also harmful. Most of the exposure(接触）to diacetyl came from inbreathing rather than eating popcorn. Therefore, experts recommend at least waiting for the bag to cool before you open it to reduce potentially harmful chemi
31、cal exposure. Better yet, make your own fresh at home with an air popper. If you like to flavor it, add organic butter or some cheese. 28. What can we know about PFOA from the text?

35、 have a basis in real life, relating to the widely held view that the elderly send out a particular and easily recognizable body odor(气味）。 The smell has been described as unpleasant, or simply old person.In one study, Japanese researchers traced the odor to a chemical compound(化合物）called 2-nonenal.T
36、he compound is a byproduct of other chemical breakdowns and sends out a greasy orgrassy odor as the molecules(分子）exit the skin and are released into the air. Researchers discovered that 2- nonenal was the only odor compound whose presence became stronger with age. In the study, in which 22 people ag
37、ed between 26 and 75 were asked to wear odor-collecting shirts to bed,researchers analyzed molecules that stuck to the cloth. The amount of 2-nonenal was three times as much in the oldest subjects as it was in the middle-aged group. The youngest members of the study produced the least amount of 2-no
38、nenal. Researchers assume the increase in 2-nonenal may have a lot to do with the breakdown of omega-7 unsaturated fatty acids(丌饱和 脂肪酸），because these molecules were also present in the shirts worn by the studys oldest subjects. Although the biological purpose behind old person smell is still unclear
39、, some researchers believe its connected to a built-in age-detecting feature possessed by humans and animals.For instance, some animals can distinguish between older and younger animals by smell alone, and some animals are driven to mate with older animals. Is possible that the capability to tell th
40、e smell of older animals meant that long-term survivors were revealed and these survivors had a genetic(基因的）advantage that boosted their chances of survival.In truth,the scent called old person smell could be an advertisement for better genetic quality. It gives a whole new meaning to the term silve

42、he youngest subjects produce the most amount of 2-nonenal. D.The rise in 2-nonenal has little to do with the breakdown of omega-7. 34.What is the new meaning given to the term silver fox? A.Old and smelly. B.Greasy and grassy. C.Better and advantageous. D.Clever and knowledgeable. 35.What is the pur
43、pose of this text? A. To advocate respecting the elderly. B.To explain the causes of old peoples body odor. C.To prove the advantages of old person smell.
