How northern Europeans beat the winter blues

Ask a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures — one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine — and this is what you will get: in the first, as raindrops fall from the top of the page, the man behind the window has an unhappy expression. When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.

Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them.【1】In October 2008, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on people’s feelings.【2】A person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood (情绪), and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).【3】

AniKalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brain’s system against weather-driven mood changes. Research on SAD has been focused on the brain’s response to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles.【4】It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computers and the indoor games and get out there in the sun.【5】”

A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”

A．Yet that link has no scientific basis.

B．It is seriously doubted among the people who suffer from SAD.

C．It affects about10% of the population of northern Europe each year.

D．Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.

E．That’s when people can recharge their serotonin and get a better mood.

F．Most studies prove that a negative feeling is associated with bad weather.

G．They determined that people actually differ in their sensitivity to weather changes.

27、   The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.

The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected (感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused (浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风的) rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

【1】What does the fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds show?

A.Colds are really full of myths.

B.Viruses are the factors causing colds.

C.Colds are more severe than other illnesses.

D.The idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up.

【2】What did the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 prove?

A.Being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.

B.Taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.

C.It was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds.

D.People who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.

【3】Why are colds commonly seen in winter, according to the passage?

A.Staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on.

B.People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter.

C.Viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.

D.There is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.

【4】What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.The myths about colds. B.The experiments on colds.

C.The continued spread of common colds. D.The reason and the way people catch colds.

28、   Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East- the ancient custom of tonic food.

Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s health or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame (芝麻) oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach(菠菜), are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小萝卜) are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or”cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.

The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry (枸杞子), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.

So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of pig brain soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.

【1】What is the present situation of tonic food?

A.It is catching less attention.

B.It is enjoyed by many young people.

C.It is well known worldwide.

D.It is becoming increasingly popular.

【2】What is believed to benefit new mothers?

A.Fruit tea.

B.Chinese cabbage.

C.Sesame oil hotpot.

D.Pig brain soup.

【3】Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3?

A.Medicine.

B.Restaurant.

C.Education.

D.Fashion.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.The Charm of Chinese Cuisine.

B.The Popularity of Tonic Food.

C.An Introduction to Chinese Tonic Food.

D.Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food.

29、   Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half（53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report.

“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know? “Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “I prefer to go out and be out . Today I just wanted some time to myself.” she said.

Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper. “It’s a chance for self-reflection(自我反思). You return to work energetic and with a plan.” said he.

That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt uncomfortable about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit, whose company provided the statistics(数据)for the report.

【1】What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 about?

A.Food variety. B.Eating habits.

C.Table manners. D.Restaurant service.

【2】Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?

A.To meet with her coworkers.

B.To catch up with her work.

C.To have some time on her own.

D.To collect data for her report.

【3】What is the text mainly about?

A.The advantage of wireless technology.

B.The importance of self-reflection.

C.The stress from working overtime.

D.The popularity of having meals alone.
