【题目】A Diet Without Enough Protein Can Cause Depression

Depression is a condition so common. 1 The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it “a leading cause of disability.” Difficulty in falling asleep, loss of appetite, and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression. While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression, many cases come from within, such as people’s diet.

As is reported, both before and during a happening of depression, those with the condition show a “poor appetite”. 2 On the other hand, depression may be closely related to protein. Many cases of depression happen to those who don’t eat properly, which then result in lack of protein taken into the body.

3 It all comes down to amino acids (氨基酸). Proteins are made up of amino acids. Both the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another. With them communication between the cells becomes possible.

4 But eight of them, the “essential” ones for communication between the brain cells, must be eaten in one’s diet. So a diet which is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought. The process can lead to twisted signals, which can not only lead to depression, but also aggression. 5

A. It happens with aggression.

B. It may lead to serious effects.

C. But how lack of protein occurs?

D. There are 20 different amino acids.

E. But what does protein have to do with depression?

F. The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.

G. This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

1 we know, there are three medalists in Olympic races: the gold, the silver, and the bronze (铜牌).

Imagine what it’s like to be the silver medalist. If you 2 (be) just one second faster, you could have won the gold! So close! You would keep comparing yourself to be the gold winner, full 3 envy.

Now imagine what it’s like to be the bronze medalist. One second 4 (slow), and you wouldn’t have won anything! Whoo-hoo! You would be thrilled that you were 5 (official) an Olympic medalist, and got to stand on the winner’s podium at all.

You can 6 compare up or compare down and your 7 (happy) depends on where you’re focusing. This is easy to understand, but hard to remember in everyday life. If you catch yourself 8 (bum) with envy of anger, think like the bronze medalist, not the silver. Change your focus.

For example, if you buy something that is “the best”, you may feel like a gold winner, but when the new “best” 9 (come) out next year, you’ll feel like the siver. Instead, if you look at what you buy as something “surprisingly good”, it will keep you in the bronze mindset. Since you’re not comparing it to best, you’ll feel no need 10 (keep) up with the newest thing.

【题目】Some students bring good luck charms(幸运符)to school on test days. They might keep a four-leaf clover in their pocket or wear a pair of lucky underwear. 1 , there are better ways of doing well on a test.

When you get the test, don’t forget to put your name on it. Then, take a quick look at each page. A long test may have different sections. Notice how many marks each section is worth. Like a runner, you will want to be careful about your pace. 2, you will want to leave yourself enough time for the sections that are worth the most marks.

3. Read the instructions and questions very carefully. Make sure you understand what you are being asked to do. If you do not understand a question, ask your instructor. If you feel nervous, you may want to build your confidence by starting with the questions that arc easiest for you.

During a reading test, it can help to do a quick pre-reading exercise you have been taught, even if it is not part of the instructions. For example, try scanning the text to figure out the topic before you rend the whole thing more carefully. Then think about what you already know about the topic. Predict the details that might be in the reading. For a writing test, pre-writing is a very important first step, Brainstorm your ideas and organize them before you start writing. 4.

Before you hand in your test, review your answers. Check your grammar and spelling. Make sure your instructor will be able to read your handwriting. 5.

Follow these tips and, if your lucky underwear doesn’t work, you will have a solid back-up plan in place.

A. While these things can’t hurt,

B. Whenever you finish your test,

C. Be sure that you answered every question.

D. You can answer your questions one by one.

E. Now you are ready to begin answering the questions.

F. If you have a limited amount of time to complete the test,

G. These activities warm up your brain so that it will work more efficiently.
