Many companies，including McDonald's，are removing artificial colors from their foods.（1）DDColors send important signals about food，and companies aren't going to stop using them.
Cheese
Check the packages of most cheeses，and there is likely an ingredient called annatto（胭脂紅）listed.（2）AA The practice dates back to when cheesemakers in England removed the butterfat from milk to make butter.The leftover milk was whiter，so cheesemakers added annatto to create a golden coloring.
Egg Yolks
Many home cooks think darker egg yolks are fresher or more nutritious.But the color may be the result of coloring products in chicken feed.（3）CC Darker yolks aren't necessarily healthier.The belief that they are healthier is likely rooted in the idea that yolks are darker when hens are fed a diet of fresh plants，which contain the pigments （色素）.
Salmon
Bright pink flesh may signal freshness to shoppers eyeing salmon，which is why salmon may have been fed synthetic astaxanthin（蝦青素）. （4）FF For example，at Costco，tickets of farmed salmon are saying "Color added through feed".
"People used to get all the coloring all over their fingers.We now kind of laugh at that，" said Richard Matoian，director of a food trade association. （5）BB Americans，therefore，apparently aren't entirely ready to say goodbye to the artificial colors in various kinds of food.Companies are expected to take new measures in response to customer demand.
A.Without it，cheese would be off-white.
B.But producers know the difference colors can make.
C.It's easy to change yolk colors by simply varying hens' diet.
D.But don't expect your cheeseburgers to look much different.
E.Yolk colors vary when chickens live in different climates as well.
F.Producers are asked to declare on tickets if artificial colors were used.
G.Some companies even offer various shades of pink to help judge flesh colors.

1．Hi Judy!
You often complain to me that you always buy goods unreasonably on sale promotion（促銷）and feel it shameful after going back to your school dormitory with new things not needed，considering all the money you spend is your parents' income．
In fact，this is a common phenomenon，called impulsive buying，a buying unplanned and hard to control．It usually happens when a store offers discounts（打折）or sales promotion-a special way used by stores to get more customers，which means you may fall into its traps even without notice．
Stores，with a good knowledge of customers' psychology（心理），make use of it to drive business．Avoiding all the impulsive buying is a hard thing．However，knowing our psychology behind it and reducing the times when influenced by sales promotion may be useful．So you should keep calm when facing the sales promotion by keeping in mind what you really need．
Find out the conditions where you are likely to buy things blindly．When seeing a dress advertised at 20% off，do not concentrate on the discount，but warn yourself against falling into the trap of "saving money''．
Besides，do not forget the long-term effects of your choice when meeting a sales promotion．Short-term benefits，like excited feeling just after buying items encourage impulsive buying．But the long-term costs such as waste of money and the sense of shame really annoy you．When seeing the advertisements，remember what you really want to buy originally and warn yourself of that terrible feeling．Only in this way can you save money for really needed things．
Yours，
Rachel

3．Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer.However，making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier.For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable，getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering.My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world.People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.In fact，all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant，which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night.Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico，where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts（輪班）in a factory，the other options have become only too clear. "This job pays well，but it's hell on the body，" said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading." she added.When I'm back at the university，skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school.All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale（陳腐的）now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
