21、We all know that food makes us grow every day, but sometimes it can make us happy when we feel bad. Food such as sea fish, bananas, pumpkins and chicken can help us be happy. How can they affect (影响)our feelings?

People living by the sea look much happier than other people, because the fresh sea air helps them clear their minds and they eat a lot of sea fish. Bananas have much Vitamin B6. Having more bananas can help us make a quick decision, and become more confident (自信). Eating pumpkins can also help people get into a good feeling because it’s rich in Vitamin B6 and iron (铁).

Are you in a bad mood (情绪)? If you are, don’t sit alone. Go to eat such happy food with your friends. Maybe you’ll feel better.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

【2】People living by the sea look happier because they have fresh air and eat sea fish.

22、   Although people drive in all countries, the rules can be quite different between nations and areas. For this reason, you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a foreign country.

In the U．S., people in Alaska may have a learner's permit at the age of fourteen. This is quite different from the driving laws of Niger, where a person must be at least twenty­three years old to drive. If you want to know the minimum(最小的)driving age in most countries, the answer is eighteen. It may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows people to drive, although most of them do. For example, many years ago, women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter how old they are. But from June, 2018, women can drive.

Driving on the right or left side of the road is also different. In Great Britain, Cyprus, Australia, India, and Malaysia, people drive on the left. However, in the U．S., Mexico, France and Canada, people are required to drive on the right. In fact, one country can have different driving rules for different areas. People in Hong Kong drive on the left, while drivers in other parts of China use the right side of the road.

Other different driving laws between countries include those about using mobile phones. In Japan, using any kind of mobile phones is illegal(违法的), even if you do not need to hold the phone with your hands. However, in Argentina and Australia, drivers are allowed to talk on their mobile phones if they do not use their hands.

You might also find it interesting to learn that some countries have very unusual laws. For example, in Cyprus, it is against the law to eat or drink anything while driving.

【1】Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?

A.The driving age.
