Questions __26__ to __35__ are based on the following passage.

问题第二到包含是基于以下段落的。

If you've ever looked at the ingredients list while grocery shopping, chances are you've seen the term "natural flavors". But have you taken a __26__ to consider what these natural flavors actually are?

如果你曾在杂货店购物时看过成分表，你可能见过“天然香料”这个术语。但你是否花了一秒钟思考这些天然香料究竟是什么？

Most of us might think that "natural flavors" are, well, naturally good for us. A recent study in the journal Appetite found that when the word "natural" appears on packaging, people __27__ that the food within is indeed healthier. In truth, natural flavors do not __28__ much, at least chemically speaking, from their flavor-boosting __29__ : artificial flavors. Both can be made in a lab by trained flavorists, but artificial flavors use chemicals to give a product a __30__ smell or taste.

我们大多数人可能认为“天然香料”是，嗯，天然对我们有益的。发表在《食欲》杂志上的一项最新研究发现，当“天然”一词出现在包装上时，人们会认为里面的食品确实更健康。实际上，天然香料在化学上与其增香对应物——人工香料——没有太大区别。两者都可以在实验室由训练有素的调香师制作，但人工香料使用化学物质来赋予产品奇特的气味或味道。

Natural flavors come from plant or animal __31__ like fruit, vegetable, meat, fish or milk that is then processed or refined in some way. In short, natural flavors are __32__ from plants and animals to create specific flavors for processed foods. But that does not __33__ make it easier to tell what is really in your food. Because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not __34__ the term, companies can use it to refer to pretty much anything derived from a plant or animal. And natural flavors can also include a variety of chemical additives, such as preservatives. The FDA doesn't require companies to reveal what additional chemicals a specific item __35__ .

天然香料来自植物或动物来源，如水果、蔬菜、肉、鱼或牛奶，然后以某种方式加工或精炼。简而言之，天然香料是从植物和动物中提取出来的，为加工食品创造特定风味。但这并不一定使你更容易分辨食物中究竟有什么。因为美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）没有定义这个术语，公司可以用它来指代几乎所有从植物或动物中提取的东西。而且天然香料还可以包括各种化学添加剂，如防腐剂。FDA不要求公司披露特定物品所含的附加化学物质。

So if you want to know for certain what you're getting with your groceries, you might want to stick to the farmers' market.

所以，如果你想确切知道你的杂货中有什么，你可能想坚持去农贸市场。
