Question

IV.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题(请注意词数要求) 。

[1] Many American fathers have got gifts from their families in honour of Father's Day. Some men may be hoping for a shiny new grill (烤架) to bring smoky,fiery (燃烧的) happiness to cook Outdoors-More than half of Americans say they cook outdoors throughout the year. But the warmer months bring more people outside. So this is a good time for food safety experts to make their efforts to educate the public.

[2] Disease-control officials say that about one in six Americans get sick from food each year. 130,000 have to go to a hospital for food poisoning. And 3,000 die. Health officials say these numbers usually increase during this time of year as more Americans cook and eat outdoors.

[3] The United States Department of Agriculture started its Meat and Poultry Hotline in 1985. The Meat and Poultry Hotline has expanded its programmes to include Spanish language services. Also,people can ask questions through email and live chats and get information on social media sites.

[4] The hotline receives about 70 ,000 telephone calls a year from people with food safety questions. They teach consumers every day,one to one,about how to handle food safely and to prevent food-related illness. In addition,they also take calls that are related to complaints about food products that have led to foods being recalled,and that has probably saved lives.

[5] One of the Hotline workers said ,“One of the most important things is to make sure your meat is fully cooked. It's not recommended that anybody be having a rare hamburger when they are cooking out in the summer. If you’re cooking eggs,make sure the yolks (蛋黄) are fresh. And drinking or eating things that contain uncooked eggs is surely not a good idea. ”
