【題目】Who hasn't found themselves reaching for the closest food available when they're tired and stressed? More and more research is proving that this isn't all in our mind. Some foods really do lead to a change in our moods (心情)

Carbohydrate (碳水化合物) for calm

This is how some people medicate(治療) themselves with food — by reaching for cookies or pasta(意大利面食) whenever they're upset. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work. You must eat a meal consisting of 100% carbohydrate, on an empty stomach, to obtain the serotonin (血清素) increase so that you have a good mood.

To get the wishedfor effect, you must not eat anything for four hours and then eat at least 30 grams of straight carbohydrate. Dry cereal (谷類食品), a piece of bread with jam, or a potato should______.

Protein (蛋白質(zhì)) for power

Of course, sometimes we don't need to be calm and sleepy.Sometimes we need a great deal of mental concentration, so this is when it's important to mix protein and carbohydrate. The protein will prevent the tryptophan (色氨酸) from flooding your brainand the rise in serotonin(血清素) won't occur.

Why dessert makes us happy

Fat and sugar cause the brain to let go endorphins (內(nèi)啡肽), which send pleasure signals throughout the body. This would be fine, except humans are not particularly good at stopping at one cookie or cake.

You can also satisfy your sweet tooth by choosing fruit for dessert.

Timing your meals for energy

Blood sugar drops after four hours of going without food, causing a decrease(減少) in energy. Eating usually fixes this within 20 to 30 minutes, but don't suppose that eating more will cause a faster increase in energy.

When you eat has as much of an effect on your mood as what you eat. If you regularly go for a long period of time between meals, rethink your schedule and plan ahead.

1The underlined phrase“ do_the_trick”in the third paragraph means ________.

A. be extremely smart

B. intend to cheat someone

C. bring about the desired result

D. do something to amuse people

2The function of protein is ________.

A. to help you keep calm and sleepy

B. to make you feel energetic

C. to lead you to slowness

D. to increase serotonin in your brain

3We can infer from the last two parts that ________.

A. fat and sugar can greatly help people feel happy

B. we humans tend to eat lots of cookies and cakes

C. the more we eat, the faster we will gain energy

D. what we eat is more important than when we eat

4The main idea of the passage is ________.

A. eating for a better mood

B. eating to make you calm

C. eating for more protein

D. eating to make us strong

【答案】

1C

2B

3A

【題目】American researchers have discovered that human brains and sleep patterns are confused by devices(裝置) that give out bright lights. Electronics, such as laptops, mislead our minds into thinking that it is still daytime, preventing sleep and increasing the risk ofinsomnia.

Sleep experts say human's natural body clock begins to rest and relax from the day between 9 and 10 pm but the use of computers confuses it.

A person's brain biologically becomes awake when the sun is out because bright light after dark causes the brain to stop producing the hormone (荷爾蒙) called melatonin that makes us sleepy.

Researchers say blue light from devices such as iPads, which is expected to become a popular reading tool when it comes out later this month, is particularly disruptive (干擾的)during the night when the brain thinks it should be dark.

Experts say a good book is a far better way of resting the brain and ensuring a good night's sleep because the bedside lamp() light doesn't affect the brain as it does not look straight into a person's eyes.

“Potentially, yes, if you're using an iPad or a laptop close to bedtime... that light can be stimulating (刺激) to the brain to make it more awake and delay your ability to sleep,” Phyllis Zee, a professor at Northwestern University and director of the school's Centre for Sleep & Circadian Biology, told CNN.

“And I think more importantly, it could also be enough to affect your circadian (晝夜節(jié)律的) rhythm. This is the clock in your brain that determines when you sleep and when you wake up. ”

Alon Avidan, associate director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the University of California Los Angeles, added, “I wish people would just take a boring book — an oldfashioned book — and read by a lamp.”

1The underlined word “insomnia” in the first paragraph probably means “________”

A. being unable to eat properly

B. brain injury

C. being unable to fall sleep

D. lack of energy

2Melatonin is the hormone that ________.

A. makes us sleepy

B. helps us relaxed

C. prevents us from waking up

D. makes us excited

3The bedside lamp light doesn't affect the brain because ________.

A. it doesn't give out blue light

B. it's not as bright as your laptop

C. it doesn't enter your eyes directly

D. it is adjustable

4We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A. one who uses his laptop often before bedtime can have his body clock disturbed

B. using a laptop before bedtime is more harmful than using an iPad

C. we'd better not do anything before going to bed

D. the best time to go to bed is before 9 pm

【題目】閱讀下面的短文,并用英語回答問題,請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求。

Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970, when the average age of independent living was 21? Why have reduced class sizes and increased perpupil expenditures(花銷) not resulted in higher academic achievement levels? Why is the mental health of today's kids so poor when compared with that of children in the 1960s and before? Why do today's parents become defensive when told by teachers that their children have misbehaved in school?

The best answer is that parents play a different role in childrens growth, which also summarize the differences between “old” child raising and new, post1960s parenting. Then, the overall philosophy was that parents were not to be highly involved with their kids. They were available in case of crisis, but they stood a (an) safe distance from their kids and allowed them to experience the benefits of the trialanderror process. It was the child's job, back then, to keep his or her parents from getting involved. That was how children learned to be responsible and determined.

Today's parents help their kids with almost everything. These are parents who are confused when it comes to an understanding of their purpose in their kids' lives. Their involvement leads them to personalize everything that happens to their kids; thus the defensiveness. But given that schools and mental health professionals have been pushing parental involvement for nearly four decades, the confusion and defensiveness are understandable.

University researchers analyzed three decades of data relating to parental participation in children's academics. Their conclusions confirmed what I've been saying since the 1980s: parental help with homework lowers a child's academic achievements and is not reflected on standardized tests.

Parents who manage a child's social life interfere with the development of good social skills. Parents who manage a child's afterschool activities grow kids who don't know how to fill their own free time. Parents who get involved in their kids’ conflicts with peers grow kids who don't know how to avoid much less trouble.

These kids have anxieties and fears of all sorts and don't want to leave their home. And their parents, when the time comes, don't know how to stop being parents. You can imagine what will become of their future.

【1What accounts for the differences between parents of different period? (no more than 5 words)

【2What qualities could children gain in the form of old child raising? (no more than 4 words)

【3What usually do todays parents do in the process of their childrens growth? (no more than 7 words)

【4How does the author evaluate parental participation in childrens academics? (no more than 5 words)

【5In what way do parents interfere with a childs social life? (no more than 6 words)
