Гусь или индейка?

Обычно декабрь ассоциируется с рождеством, и главное блюдо на рождественском столе – это большая птица, зажаренная целиком. Гусь или, чаще, индейка, фаршированная яблоками. Гусь, начиненный гречневой кашей, капустой, грибами и яблоками с давних времён считается традиционным блюдом русской кухни.

Однако, мясо гуся более жирное, чем индей- ки, что может грозить несварением желудка. Ин- дейка – другое дело. В 100 граммах её богатого витамином РР мяса всего 60ккал, в нём почти не содержится жиров. Индейка – превосходный ис- точник белка, который улучшает память и стиму- лирует умственную активность.

Этим утром я обнару- жил, что забыл у руководи- теля лист с планом экспери- мента на следующие четыре дня. Объектом нашего ис- следования является мышь.

После предварительного анализа мы пришли к выводу, что животное необ- ходимо посадить на диету для проведения даль- нейших этапов диагностики влияния изучаемого препарата. Я позвонил моему руководителю и по- просил дать рекомендации еще раз. Он был не- сколько огорчен моей рассеянностью (distraction),

однако дал довольно четкие указания.

С этого дня я перевожу мышь на белковую диету, ко- торая предполагает снижение потребления углеводов. Кроме

того, ежедневным продуктом питания для неё ста- нет соя. Интересно, как повлияет эта диета на жи- вотное? Увидим через несколько дней. Хотя, я на- деюсь, что наши ожидания оправдаются.

25. Choose a project you like and create it.

a) PIZZA POSTER: Make a poster about the dif- ferent types of pizza around the world – especially those in Italy. Include pizza made in your country.

b) MAGAZINE ARTICLE: Write a magazine ar- ticle about the new healthy wonder pizza. Write about how it might change all fast food and that one day, burgers might be health food.

c) LETTER: Write a personal letter to the re- searchers of the new pizza baking method. Give them three pieces of advice about pizza. Include three ques- tions.
