a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
Here is the result: 10% fewer heart attacks, 8% fewer strokes, 4% fewer deaths, 11% fewer cases of heart disease, and 240 billion dollars in health care savings.
Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year. The study is in The New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California, San Francisco was the lead author. She said people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.
The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the 1970's, while blood pressure has also risen. Less salt can lead to lower blood pressure.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants to use less salt. But some people don't agree. They call it government interference. They say that food companies and restaurants are free and they know what to do. The government shouldn't make any decisions instead of them.

Now a study by the Seattle Children's Research Institute shows that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children. 1.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo is . （ ） A.a journalist from The New England Journal of Medicine B.a teacher from the University of California C.a leader of the American Heart Association

As a proverb says, “Your tongue has the power of life and death.” This means that your words have power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death.
We may experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed（责备） by teachers or parents, and after that, he might think himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise children four times for each negative（负面的） word. Blaming will make things worse, while positive words are helpful especially when being in trouble or in need. When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons.
Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn（相应地） have a great influence on your action.
Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It's not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out. Your words are likely to bring out something amazing. 1、2题完成句子;3题简略回答问题;4题找出并写下第四段的主题句;5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。 1.“Your tongue has the power of life and death.” means have power to finally cause things to happen.
