2 . As it turns out, comfort food, instead of comforting you, may actually be linked to your mental comfort but cause you to become depressed. One of the main reasons for eating junk food is stress eating, but now new research has also suggested it's harming your mental health too.

Junk food, fast food and so-called “healthy snack options” are all big business nowadays because they provide convenient options for people on the go. The decision when choosing a snack of going for what you want, over what you need, plays an important part in your overall mental health.

Researchers at Cardiff University believe that reaching for unhealthy snacks when the stress of time-sensitive commitments, such as work or study, limits your choices of snacks, won’t only destroy your fitness goals, but it can also negatively affect your mental health.

Scientists provided crisps, chocolate or a piece of fresh fruit to test subjects before measuring their effects on mental comfort. The results were amazing. Those snacking on crisps and chocolate showed greater symptoms(症状) of depression, anger and emotional disorders in only 10 days. The increase was an unbelievable 47% in depressive parts. The subjects that snacked on fruit experienced none of these symptoms. In fact, on the contrary, they became 32% less anxious.

While the researchers didn't point out exactly why the fruit group felt so much happier, the answer may lie in fruit’s ability to increase the brain’s production of serotonin, which is commonly known as a feel-good neurotransmitter(神经递质) that can help to bring about a happier state of mind and reduce anxiety.

The best results you can take away from the study is that when you’re hungry you should always be well prepared with healthy snacks that will not only fill you up but will also positively affect your mental health and keep you focused all day long.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE

The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.

The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the   sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.

Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

5 . SQRRR or SQ3R introduced by Francis P. Robinson is a reading comprehension method named for its five steps: survey, question, read, recite, and review.

Survey

The first step, survey or skim, advises that one should go through a chapter and note headings, sub-headings and other outstanding features.     1    , but it provides an outline or framework for what will be presented.   The reader should identify ideas and formulate questions about the content of the chapter.

Question

    2    . For example, change headings and sub-headings into questions, and then look for answers in the content of the text.

Read (R)

Use the background work done with “S” and “Q” in order to begin reading actively.     3    . Passive reading, in contrast, results in merely reading without engaging with the study material.

Recite (R)

The second “R” refers to the part known as “Recite”. The reader should try to retrieve (取回) from memory what was learned in the same manner as telling someone else about the information. It is important that the reader use his/her own words in order to formulate and conceptualize the material. Try recalling and identifying major points (heading/ sub-headings) and answers to questions from the “Q’ step.     4    .

Review (R)

The final “R” is “Review”. Once you reach the end of the passage, say back to yourself what the point of the whole passage is — again, using your own words.     5     Classrooms all over the world have begun using this method to better understand what they are reading.

A．Making meaning with time management

B．This survey step only takes 3-5 minutes

C．Arise questions about the content of the reading

D．This process suggests better understanding a topic

E．This recital step may be done either in an oral or written format

F．This means reading in order to answer the questions raised under “Q’

G．The method offers a more efficient and active approach to reading comprehension

Nearly a year ago marketing director David Smith, behaving like James Bond 007, secretly recorded all his     1     (conversation) .

8 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

If there is one thing in life that we could choose not to experience, it is the death of someone we love.     1    (lose) a friend or family member is heartbreaking and hard to accept, but how we deal with it, and how we "move on” , changes from person to person.

Sometimes we feel     2     passing of a loved one has come too soon. Our first reaction is to feel very sad, and even though we may soon     3     (encourage) to accept and let go. But feeling of great sadness is a very natural, human response to loss and can take the form of many     4    (expected) emotions, from shock to anger and disbelief.

When someone dies, we may try to put on a brave face and hide our     5     (feeling). But you can talk to them in your head, write them a letter or share memories with other people who knew them. Some people choose to make a more permanent reminder     6     someone by getting a tattoo. Dr John Troyer from Bath University told the BBC: "You can have a continuing bond with the dead... I think it's a very important way for people to come to terms with the fact     7    someone has left. "

Whatever approach you take to grieving and to keeping someone's memory alive,     8    (final) , the physical aching and pain caused by the loss of a loved one will go down. But the memories of that person and the times we shared can stay with us forever.     9     the singer and songwriter Patti Smith said, “Loss     10     (be) something that we never get over. "

9 . Will your kids love your favorite childhood reads? Let’s get to it: Five Little Peppers and How They Grew. I’m reaching way back with this one (1881), but after all, who doesn’t love a good rags to-riches story?

Oh, those little Peppers. How well I remember Phronsie, Ben, Polly, Joel and Davie, and how hard they worked in the little brown house to help their poor mother, Mamsie. My kids are not yet at an age when they realize just how poor the Peppers are. But my kids are as drawn to this story as I was as a child. And I am not the one to turn down an opportunity to share an example of children gladly helping their mother.

I’m not reaching back quite as far with 1943’s Cherry Ames, Student Nurse by Helen Wells, but convincing my kids that once it wasn’t easy for nurses to wear caps and dresses. When I was little, I couldn’t get enough of Cherry’s adventures. How pioneering Cherry was! She had a job when there were few jobs available to women, she never got married, and she solved mysteries when men couldn’t. Cherry always knew what to do. She was smart, pretty, strong and ambitious. I love her.

I know the time will come when my son asks, “Come on, Mom, Didn’t you read any books with men in them?” and I’ll have to answer honestly, “No. But maybe one day a few.”

The day will come when we can go back to the library and see what is new on the shelves, and that will be a great day. But for now, I plan not to let any book on our shelves go to waste. It may seem that reaching for a book that’s more than a century older than my kids is just as ambitious as reading Frankenstein, but I’m really confident, this time.

1. What do the author’s kids feel about Five Little Peppers and How They Grew?

A．Frightened.

B．Interested.

C．Puzzled.

D．Disappointed.

2. What’s the author’s attitude towards Cherry?

A．Doubtful.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Praiseful.

D．Afraid.

3. What can we infer about the author?

A．She is very poor,

B．She likes books about women.

C．She dislikes classical literature.

D．She is confused about her career.

4. What does the author prefer to do at present?

A．Read less and faster.

B．Go back to the library,

C．Ask her kids to read books kept at home.

D．Inspire her kids to read newly published books.

10 . I was with my mom one day as we took a walk while window shopping. We both knew we wouldn't be buying much. I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore 5-inch heels and bright clothes. Men wore expensive perfumes and creams that wiped away the wrinkles on their faces. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I could deny it no longer and I was ashamed of my mom.

We were in a high-class neighborhood. We lived in a small, expensive apartment building at the edge of our county. Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good. I realized for the first time that we didn't belong there.

I could see the heavy lines around my mom's eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clothes and worm-out shoes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet, and her hair was too gray for her age. She was nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment, she stood out because she was just so plain. I didn't want to be seen with her although there was no one important around to see me anyway. I felt embarrassed about being at her side. We were standing in the middle of a high-end store, and she was holding a sweater.

Mom said, “Anna, this will look good on you. Do you want it?” It Was much too expensive, but I almost thoughtlessly answered “Yes”. Then I took a closer look at the small, tired woman with a big smile and a sweater in her hands, happy to be giving me something so nice. My words died in my throat. Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying me new ones. She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for me. She didn't wear jewelry or perfumes because she was content with spending what little money she had on me. Suddenly, my mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes. I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself.

“Do you want it?” Mom repeated.

“No, thanks,” I replied.

1. Why did the author describe the passers-by while window-shopping?

2. What most likely made the author feel uneasy?

A．Studying at a top school.	B．Going window-shopping.

B．She was too excited to say anything about the sweater.

C．She felt her mom was so ordinary that she stopped speaking.

D．She failed to speak after realizing her mom's great sacrifices.

4. What can be the best title for the passage?
