People with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiveness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.

Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.

    Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.

    Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.

    “Impulsiveness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clinical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.

    Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.

    “Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”

A. less healthy weight                                    B. motivation to lose weight

       C. negative emotions                                     D. taking alcohol or drugs

       A. By making comparisons and conclusions.       B. By giving definitions and examples.

       C. By presenting questions and answers.           D. By explaining causes and effects.

       B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.

       C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.

We’d better develop our interest in English at the beginning of our study.    51    We may feel good when we can say something simple in English.

   52    So we must make some plans before study. And we should certainly carry out these plans in our study.

   53    Our notes are much thinner than the books so that we can learn them by heart easily and can often review and read them. We may also record our notes on tapes so as to listen to them easily.

Reading a newspaper is the best thing to improve your English.    54    It will help you keep in touch with a lot of subjects in English.

   55    Learn by heart the whole sentences and the phrases that contain the new words so that we may know how to use the words.

If time permits (允许), we may read a mini Chinese-English dictionary carefully from cover to cover, which may help us widen our sight and master (掌握) knowledge in all ways.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. ____61____ Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. ___62___

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. ___63___ If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

___64___ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you a license to correct everyone else. ___65___ At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended (冒犯).

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status (婚姻地位). Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B. Repeat the process (过程) till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.

G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

   When we moved to China seven months ago, we were very worried about what we would be eating, and how we would live. We never thought that we would fall in love with the Chinese eating habits and style. We also never imagined that we have lost 80 pounds! We thought we should share some of our tricks with you. Here is the Chinese Diet——five easy things you can do to lose weight.

   Use a smaller bowl ---much smaller

   Go into your cupboard and find your smallest bowl. Now that will be the bowl that you will eat out of. By doing this you actually pick much less food than you are naturally served.

   Vegetables are your main course

   For example, you might have one plate of a cucumber dish, one of corn＆carrots, and then another with ribs.  Find a few dishes that your whole family loves and rotate(轮换) those.

   Cut down on your meat ＆ dairy

   We eat very little meat. So do most Chinese. We eat very little dairy. It was hard at first. Cut it down and try to limit it to eggs, milk and yogurt.

   Use chopsticks to eat

   We love eating with chopsticks and wonder why we didn’t use them more at home. You eat a lot slower, A LOT.

   Introduce rice and noodles into your meals

   A Chinese diet includes a lot of rice and noodles. So our daily diet is no different, we eat rice and noodles 3 times a day.

   We wish we had known these simple tricks back home that make such a difference in our waistline.

All in all, this book enjoys a good reputation, ranking this week’s the second most popular book on USATODAY.

Philip Pullman spent a great deal of his childhood traveling abroad because both his father and stepfather were pilots in the Royal Air Force(皇家空军). As a child, he went on several long ocean voyages, and he lived in Africa and in Australia. “Before I was 11 I had been to eight different schools.”

   “In Australia, I made a great discovery. TV hadn’t reached Australia yet, but everyone listened to the radio. I remember listening to gangster serials(黑帮剧), and cowboy serials, and best of all-----Superman! When I first saw a superman comic(连环漫画), it changed my life. I’d been reading books for a long time, but I’d never　known comics before. Soon afterwards, I discovered Batman, too, whom I loved even more.”

   Pullman started writing his first novel the day after he had finished his final exams at Oxford University. “ I discovered after about an hour that it was much harder than I’d expected. It still is! I found that the amount I could write comfortably every day was about three pages, so that’s what I’ve done ever since.”

   Before he became a full-time writer, Pullman had been teaching for many years. “What I enjoyed most during that time was telling stories over and over, until I knew them as well as I knew my own life.” He had always loved telling stories---- as a schoolboy he had entertained his friends by reading stories to them, or by making up his own.

Some people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty, and crunchy(脆的) together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises. It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while increasing the measure of crunchiness(松脆).

It may go some way to explain why airline food is widely complained about by both the workers and passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “It’s a general opinion that plane foods aren’t fantastic but I’m sure airlines do their best, so we wondered if there were other reasons. One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect. NASA gives their space explorers very strong-tasting foods, because for some reason, they can’t taste food that strongly-again, it may have something to do with the background noise.”

In a study, 48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening to nothing or noise through earphones. Meanwhile they rated (划分等级) the foods. In noisier settings, foods were rated less salty or sweet than they were when it was silent, but were rated crunchier. “The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud, your attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said.

 “We are still at an early stage of progressing and this is rather small study to really draw definitive (最完整可靠的）conclusions from,” Dr Woods said, “but they suggest choice of food for a given environment.” 

Also in the group’s findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing.

32. How does the food taste when it is eaten in a noisy environment?

A. Less salty but crunchier.                 B. Sweeter and saltier.

C. Sweeter but less crunchy.               D. Less sweet and crunchy.

33. Why does NASA give their space explorers very strong-tasting foods?

A. Foods become less tasty in space.

B. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space.

C. Loud noises in space may weaken the explorers’ sense of taste.

D. The explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space.

34. What can we infer from what Dr. Woods said in the 4th paragraph?

A. The environment influences the food a restaurant sells.

B. The researchers have made an effective conclusion.

C. Music will weaken people’s sense of taste while eating.

D. Listening to nothing while eating is the best choice.

35. What would be the best title for the text?

A. The best dinner environment.                 B. How to change plane foods.

C. Listening to music while eating.              D. Background noise affects the taste of foods.

Dear Mary,

It is two weeks until the summer camp ended. Look back on the days we spend together, I can’t help missing you badly. You were such kind a girl that you made my camping days so happy. Still remember the day when we first met with? I cried as it was the first time that I had been away from home. I felt sadly and lonely. When you saw this, you talked to me like the old friend. You told me many funny story, which made me laugh a lot. That you did got me through that sleepless night. Thanks to your help, I adapted the new environment quickly. I really appreciate your kindness. How I wish to see you again!
