Passage 1
Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an American Indian reservation, and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only ones available for development in the region. With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a land-use planning effort to guide the future of the North Fork. The park is a partner in an interlocal agreement that calls for resource-managing agencies to work together and with more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with the objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park and the county, is helping to restrict small lot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment. The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns that congress would impose a legislative solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all concerns.

Passage 3
Nutrition is the study of how food affects our health. All foods contain substances, called nutrients, which provide us with energy and the raw materials for living. They include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins. The nutrients that our body cannot make enough of them, from raw materials in our food, are essential nutrients. Essential nutrients include certain proteins, certain fats, vitamins, and minerals. If your body does not get enough of one of these, you will become ill with a deficiency disease, such as scurvy, which sailors used to suffer from on long voyages when they did not have enough vitamin C. Each nutrient has its own particular function in the body. Proteins are the main bodybuilders. Carbohydrates and fats are important for energy. Vitamin C helps to protect us against infection, and vitamin D and calcium help good strong bones to grow. Foods are made of more than one nutrient. Cheese, for example, has lots of protein but contains fat, vitamins, and minerals as well. No single food contains all the nutrients we need, so we should eat a variety of foods to make sure we get all the nutrients in roughly the right combination.
