24、We have all been there. It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. In fact, the more you try NOT to think about a square of deep, dark chocolate melting in your mouth, the more you want it. You can even smell it!

A food craving is a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal. Most people have them even though what we crave might be different. One person might crave sweet chocolate, while another might crave salty potato chips.

Sometimes the foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods. Or sometimes we crave foods from our childhoods, like American meatloaf, Polish pirogues or Vietnamese pho. Other times the cravings may be for something healthy but very specific, such as Japanese sushi or Korean kimchi.

But where do food cravings come from? And how are they different from hunger?

Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.”

The website explains that when our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone sends a message to one part of the brain, the hypothalamus, for more food. The hypothalamus (丘脑下部)regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then releases a chemical to start the appetite. And you eat.

A craving is more complicated. It involves several areas of the brain. These areas make up the reward center of the brain. A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory. So, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.”

In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increase the probability of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time, lessened food cravings.

So, the next time you crave food from your childhood or have a strong desire for something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.

【1】How are cravings different from hunger?

A．Hunger is a fairly simply connection between the stomach and the brain.

B．A craving can also be tied to our mental state and memory.

C．The more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it.

D．Scientists call hunger “stomach hunger” but cravings “mind hunger”.

【2】All of the following foods are mentioned EXCEPT ________.

A．Vietnamese pho

B．Korean kimchi

C．Swiss black chocolate

D．American meatloaf

【3】What does the underlined word “fasting” probably mean in Paragraph 8?

A．eating no food for a period of time

B．happening, moving, or doing something at great speed

C．tightly and firmly

D．not changing your mind

【4】What can we learn about food cravings from the passage?

A．If you go on a diet, it’s more likely for you to crave food.

B．When we crave food, it shows that we are hungry.

C．We eat when our brain releases a chemical to start the appetite.

D．The foods we crave are not super healthy ones but rather fatty or sugary foods.

26、F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.

His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary “My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”

This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial（财政的） security(安全，保障). Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.

However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed.
