19、n be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus (章鱼) a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat -the

20、normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail (蜗牛). Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various

21、parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are not liked. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snai

22、ls from my garden and take them to him.The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails taking a stroll on some of my prized plants. Acting on a sudden impulse, I collected several dozen, put them

23、 in a paperbag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must sta

24、y for dinner. Snails would, of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To our dismay, we saw that there were snails everywhere: they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to l

25、ook at a snail since then.24. The underlined word “repulsive” in Paragraph 1 most probably means . A. disgusting B. pleasant C. acceptable D. delicious25.

26、se they might damage his beloved plantsC. was excited about being able to give his friend a surpriseD. was depressed because it was hard to catch them all26. The author finds that snails .A. are as delicious as octopus B. are disliked in his hometownC. are a kind of controversial food D. are as popu

People Are Illogical in Front of DelicaciesCWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, its not only necessary, but also essentia

28、l to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in depression, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, h

29、usband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even i

30、f it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you. I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor

31、after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke? Laughing is essential

32、to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and b

33、ring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.28.

36、e people of the power of being optimistic about lifeDWhen people think of improving their diet, they often talk about eating more fruits and vegetables. Others want to eat more fish and less red meat, in addition to reducing the amount of food they eat. But they can improve their diets even more wit

37、h just a simple addition. American researchers have found that a diet rich in spices can help reduce the harmful effects of eating high fat meals.Pennsylvania State University Associate Professor Shiela West led an investigation of the health effects of a spice-rich diet. Her team knew that a high-f

38、at meal produces high levels of triglycerides(甘油三脂), a kind of fat, in the blood. She said, “If this happens too frequently, or if triglyceride levels are raised too much, your risk of heart disease is increased.”As part of the study, her team prepared meals on two separate days for six men between

39、the ages of 30 and 65. The men were overweight, but healthy. The researchers added about 30 milliliters of spices to each serving of the test meal, which included chicken curry, Italian herb bread and a cinnamon(肉桂树皮)biscuit. The meal for the control group was the same, but it did not include any sp

40、ices.During the experiment, the researchers removed blood from the men every 30 minutes for three hours. They found that antioxidant activity(抗氧化活性) in the blood of the men who ate the spicy meal was 13 percent higher than it was for the men who did not. In addition, insulin(胰岛素) activity dropped by

41、 about 20 percent in the men who ate the spicy food.Shiela West says many scientists think that oxidative stress leads to heart disease. And what exactly is oxidative stress? Think of an apple that has been cut in half and set aside for half an hour or so. The cut side of the apple turns brown. That

42、 is a simple explanation of what happens when oxidative stress comes in contact with the inside and outside of our bodies.Professor West says, “Antioxidants, like spices, may be important in reducing oxidative stress and thus reducing the risk of chronic disease.” She adds that the level of spices u

43、sed in the study provided the same amount of antioxidants found in 150 milliliters of red wine or about 38 grams of dark chocolate.32. What does the author advise people to do in their diets?A.
