Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. (1) We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________. A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food C. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food (2) Which of the following eats only one type of food? A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird. C. The bear. D. The fox. (3) Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________. A. the season changes B. the food color changes C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells (4) We can learn from the last paragraph that __________. A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet

解析
文章主要讨论了动物和人类在选择食物时的感官使用，以及不同动物和人类的饮食习惯。文章还提到了一些动物只吃一种食物，而大多数动物和人类的饮食是多样的。最后，文章指出在现代生活中，选择健康的食物已经成为一个研究领域。
步骤 2：分析问题
(1) 问题要求我们从文章中推断出人类和动物在选择食物时的相似之处。文章提到，人类和动物都使用视觉、嗅觉和味觉来选择食物，因此可以推断出人类和动物在选择食物时的方式是相似的。
(2) 问题要求我们找出只吃一种食物的动物。文章提到，白蝴蝶只吃一种食物，即使有其他蔬菜在花园里。
(3) 问题要求我们找出在什么情况下某些动物会改变它们的食物选择。文章提到，熊和狐狸的饮食会随着季节的变化而变化。
(4) 问题要求我们从最后一段中得出结论。文章提到，人们经常吃自己喜欢的食物，而不是对健康有益的食物。在法国和英国，人们吃含糖量高的食物，这使他们超重，对健康不利。因此，可以得出结论，一些人对健康饮食不太关心。
