    　　Food is life：it gives us the nourishment(营养)we need to stay alive and be healthy．　　1　　 Brian Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories．Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food．For some people, ice cream is a comfort food．For others, a bowl of noodles soup makes them feel good．

    　　　　2　　 Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives．“When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it．　　3　　 And it helps me feel better,” Says one of Wansink’s coworkers．

    　　Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research at the University of Illinois says “yes”．In his study, the favorite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream．After this, men usually preferred hot, savory(香的)foods like soup or noodles．　　4　　 Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried．

    　　　　5　　 About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansink’s study were healthy main dishes or soups and vegetables．It shows, says Wansink, that a comfort food can taste good and be good for you．

    阅读理解：

    　　Suppose we built a robot(机器人)to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探测器)to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．

    　　According to the evolutionary(进化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does not deny(否认)that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢复功能)．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．

    　　The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers．

    (1)

    The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the differences between robots and men

    B．

    the reason why men need to sleep

    C．

    about the need for robots to save power

    D．

    about the danger of men working at night

    (2)

    Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    keep up a regular pattern of life

    B．

    prevent trouble that comes looking for him

    C．

    avoid danger and inefficient labour

    D．

    restore his bodily functions

    (3)

    According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    are worrying about our safety

    B．

    are overworked

    C．

    are in a tent

    D．

    are away from home

    (4)

    Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    need more time for restoration

    B．

    are unlikely to be attackers

    C．

    axe more active than homes when they are awake

    D．

    spend less time eating to get enough energy

    (5)

    Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking．

    B．

    The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory．

    C．

    Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots．

    D．

    The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats．

    　　Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains．Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed：where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore．In any case, what would we have sailed by landing?The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way．So we stayed in the boat, hoping we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization．

    　　We lived on fish, caught with home-made net of string(we had no hooks), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water．As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience; perhaps sea fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless．After eating my raw fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice-cream．In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle, ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream．

    　　As for water, there was a choice：we could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst．We drank the water．Men who had just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water．In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result．

    　　One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us．We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time：we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again．

    A．

    rich of fruits and animals to be served as food

    阅读理解：

    　　Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee．And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea．The physical sensation(感觉)of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions－those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A．Bargh．

    　　Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知)of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships．Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable．Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness．Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle．Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills．

    　　Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal．Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries．

    　　To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students．A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form：The drink was then handed back．After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description．Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink．

    　　“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh．

    (1)

    According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the visitors to his office

    B．

    the psychology lessons he has

    C．

    his physical feeling of coldness

    D．

    adults should develop social skills

    B．

    babies need warm physical contact

    C．

    caregivers should be healthy adults

    D．

    monkeys have social relationships

    (3)

    In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    evaluate someone’s personality

    B．

    write down their hypotheses

    C．

    fill out a personal information form

    D．

    hold coffee and cold drink alternatively

    (4)

    We can infer from the passage that _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences

    B．

    feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide

    C．

    physical temperature affects how we see others

    D．

    capable persons are often cold to others

    (5)

    What would be the best title for the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Drinking for Better Social Relationships

    B．

    Experiments of Personality Evaluation

    C．

    Developing Better Drinking Habits

    D．

    Physical Sensations and Emotions
