22、ge American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake （攝取量 ） nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.The headlines now? It's time to get tough. The New

23、York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average person's diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker （ 鹽 瓶 ）.But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are s

24、urprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food-and the results have pointed in eve3 direction.

So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several bu

31、ildings made of straw bales （ 大捆 ） on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg

32、, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council's code connnittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator （ 絕緣體 ）. That keeps down the heating bills in houses

44、approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man, it's a good thing that they are "serious people with serious jobs", because we also are extremely serious about play, and in today's environment they simply cannot afford n
