Most Americans eat too much salt，but the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) recognizes that cajoling people to eat healthily will not have much influence. So，the FDA has set targets for restaurants and food makers to shake some of the salt out of diets.
For years，doctors and public health experts have tried their best to make people aware of the need to reduce their salt intake and reduce the risk of high blood pressure leading to heart attacks， strokes and other health problems. The advice fell on deaf ears as people continued dining on processed foods like bacon，cold cuts and potato chips.
The government is asking restaurants and food makers to voluntarily reduce the salt content in their products with targets for short-term (two years) and longer-term ( over the next 10 years) changes. The FDA estimates that its new “ voluntary salt reduction targets” to shake the salt out of American diets could save about half-a-million lives. It could also reduce health care costs by about $100 billion over a decade.
The government targets are not a flat percentage across the board; they vary by food type. For example，Asian sauces (調味汁)，which are high in salt，have one of the highest target drops，with Hoisin and other similar sauce makers being asked to cut salt by 67 percent. Makers of cream-based sauces like alfredo (白醬意麵)are asked to cut salt levels by 54 percent.
This is not a U. S. only problem. The World Health Organization ( WHO) also recommended a similar target as part of a global effort to shake people out of their salt-filled diets. Reportedly，there are 75 countries working to reduce their citizens’ salt intake. Many countries， such as Australia， New Zealand，the United Kingdom，Ireland and Canada，have also made noticeable progress in reducing salt in some products.
32. What does the underlined word “cajoling” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A . Forcing. B. Warning. C. Ordering. D . Persuading.
33. Which of the following foods is requested to cut salt sharply?
A . Asian sauces. B. Alfredo. C. Hoisin. D . Bacon.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. WHO has taken effective measures to reduce salt intake.
B. The problem of much salt intake has spread to the whole world.
C. Many countries have made great progress in reducing salt in products.
D. Only Asian countries haven' t realized the health risks of much salt intake.
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The risks of taking too much salt.
B. FDA targets to remove some salt out of diets.
C. Doctors worry about American people’ s health.
D. The standards for salt content in different diets.
答案解析

32. D【解析】猜測詞義題。美國食品和藥物管理局 (FDA)意識到勸說人們吃健康的食品這一做法似乎影響不大。
33. A【解析】細節理解題。根據第四段For example， Asian sauces，which are high in salt， have one of the highest target drops 可知答案。
34. C【解析】推理判斷題。根據最後一段最後一句 Many countries，such as Australia，New Zealand，the United Kingdom，Ireland and Canada， have also made noticeable progress in reducing salt in some products.可知答案。
