(2016·郑州市高中毕业年级第一次质量预测)There are a growing number of pet owners who feed their pets on raw foods，which means “uncooked” meat and bones.William Burk，a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ，believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers，and that raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition that a pet needs every day.
Recognizing how popular these foods are，the FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods which contain uncooked meat for dogs，cats and other pets.The guidelines give rules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition.
Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones to their pets should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers，says

(2016·湖南省怀化市高三二模)
If you are sending a text message, watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention.Multi-tasking shrinks(使……萎缩) the brain, research suggests.
A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain.University of Sussex researchers said, “Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices simultaneously could be changing the structure of our brains.”
Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion.The finding follows research which has linked multi-tasking with a shortened attention span, depression, anxiety and lower grades at school.
