27、ully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves ( or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家) Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a mult

28、iple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just cant compare the value of these foods, the nut

29、rient dense ones are so superior,” she emphasizes.Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life-its the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which a re based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nu

30、trients arent supplied in sufficient amounts or balance. According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says ,and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic c

31、ure to replace food.“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat-they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isnt there, the spark is useless.”1.

35、f the fuel isnt there, the spark is useless”, the author means_ A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals D. without carbohydrates, protein and fa

36、t, vitamins and minerals are of no use (B) Apartment turns into nightmareARLES, FRANCE-Andre Raffay has a problem.

Im interested in the apartment near the park that is in todays paper,” he says. “how much is it?” when he hears the answer, he says, “oh, my goodness! Thats too much!”

38、 The same thing happens every day.One morning Andre sees a friend in the caf. He tells him about his problem. “ I have a good idea, Andre. I know a 90-year-old woman who has a beautiful apartment. You can pay her something every month until she dies. Then you can move into the apartment. It will be

39、yours!”Andre is excited. He thinks to himself, “how much longer can such an old lady live? We can probable have the apartment in a couple of years.” He and his wife, Marie, go to visit Mrs Calment. The apartment is just what they want. It is large and sunny, and it is near the center of town. It eve

40、n has a view of the park.Andre tells Mrs Calment, “we will pay you $500 a month , and you can stay here for the rest of your life.” She is very happy. She says, “ I really want to stay here. This is my home. Now I dont have to move my nieces house in the country.”They sign a contract that says that

41、Andre and his wife will pay Mrs Calment $500 every month. When she dies, the apartment will belong to Andre and his wife.More than thirty years go by. Jeanne Calment is still alive.

45、 His wife would live longer than he D. He read ads in the newspaper all his life (C)Dr Wiseman started the “laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humor. Participants(参加者)are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details , tell their favorite jokes

46、 and judge the jokes told by other people. The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the worlds funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose, the researches want know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the d

47、ifferences between the male and female sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what make s us laugh.This is a subject that has long interested psychologists (心理学家) and philosophers(哲学家). Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do thing

48、s that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves. By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted. This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men

49、 and women do have different senses of humor, for instance. “our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior(优越的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”Researchers als

50、o found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “Youre a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. Whats the second question?”The Germans are fam

51、ous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted

52、jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.11. Scientist started the “laugh lab” project _ A. to find the funniest jok

53、e in European countries B. to know what funny people are from different nations and cultures C. to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor D. to get more personal details about participants12.

57、e humor to show that they are superior ( D)To find how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century.

60、tory. Apparently the word “Canada” came from an Indian work “Kanata”, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec.
