仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. Snake dishes have become popular in recent years. Snake meat is often seen in restaurants. It seems that eating snake is now in fashion, and if you haven't eaten snake yet, you're considered(被认为) out of date. But I wonder whether all of the trends(趋势) are worth following. Some people may defend(辩解) themselves by saying that eating snake is good for their health. But these people don't find out that mice and worms(小虫) are often in snakes' bodies, therefore, there are many parasites(寄生虫) found inside snakes. They may be bad for our health. Besides this, we're sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher's knife. According to the English newspaper, "Shanghai Star", about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China. In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day. If we still turn a blind eye to this, there will be a vicious circle(恶性循环): if more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, but the number of mice will go up, which will result in a decrease(减少) of crop output(产量). This will make more people hungry. Who wants to see such a thing happen So let's not eat snakes any more. To protect snakes is to protect ourselves. |
