5. Passage 4 Do you know who Benjamin Banneker was and what he did? Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated scientist at a time when most African Americans were slaves. Born a free black man in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731， he received some formal education， but he mostly borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22， he borrowed a pocket watch， and without any training， figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock， he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation. Banneker ran his family farm from many years， but when he was in his late 50s， a neighbor‘s son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy， the study of the planets and stars， and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides， sunrises and sunsets， and even predicted an eclipse. For several years he published an almanac of these calculations. Today， he is best known for publishing six almanacs， called ―Benjamin Banneker‘s Almanac‖ between 1792 and 1797. In the 1790s， Banneker also helped survey and lay out the land for Washington， D. C.， which became the nation‘s capital. For a look at Banneker‘s amazing life， visit the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum in Ellicott City， Maryland. Which of Mr. Banneker‘s works is best known?

Many avoid the so called ―plastic‖ fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients(成分) in a quiet restaurant with a more leisurely atmosphere. At home， they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxing dinner without phone or TV interruptions. While dieting may be viewed as beneficial， it has also become a serious problem for Americans， particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction( 依 赖 ). They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight， and although they look like skeletons， they still insist that they are fat. The current waves of exercising， dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools， hospitals， health organizations， newspapers and magazines， for example， are offering classes， printing booklet articles， etc. to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet， of the dangers of dieting too rapidly， and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to ―diet addiction‖. According to the passage， we can infer that the atmosphere of eating has something to do with( ).
