The spread of Western eating habits around the wood is bad for human health and the  environment．These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature．
David Tillman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined  information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health．He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s．He found that as nations industrialized（l业化）, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the We stem diet．
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat．By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker．David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes（耱尿病） and heart disease．
Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia．China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent t0 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period．And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on．
And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment．As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical（熟带的） areas will become farmland for crops or  grasslands for cattle．We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now．
Mr．Tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, "a dilemma":  a problem offering a difficult choice．He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind．
32．According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from       .
A．transportation                         B．developing countries
C．agriculture             D．developed countries

   A．diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
   B．the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
   C．people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
   D．traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
34．We can infer from the passage that _       ．
A．Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases
B．overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases
C．the examined information comes from developing countries
D．industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet
35．The main purpose of the passage is to _          ．
A．can on us to protect the environment
C．remind us of the importance of health
B．warn us of the danger of the Western diet
D．advise us to have a balanced diet

    Robots performing tasks according to a predetermined set of instructions are nothing new．But robots able to learn how to cook by watching videos are a completely different approach, which is conducted by a group of researchers at the University of Maryland．
    If you have posted a video of your favorite recipe on the popular web site YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot．University of Maryland professor Hyannis Alimonies, leader of the group, said "there exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize on．"
    "At present, the videos are fed electronically," said research scientist Cornelia Ferule, "Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking," she explained．"And, as the robot advanced, it reacted to good quality videos．And it will react to even lower quality home-mace videos．"
