【原文】

M: Today, our guest is Rachel Reed who works for a small commercial art gallery. Rachel, welcome.

W: Hello.

M: Rachel, tell us about your day.

W: Well, it all starts with the huge pile of post we get. We often get artists sending in photographs of their work to see if we'd be interested in exhibiting them.

M: So you have quite a lot of contact with artists?

W: Yes. I send letters explaining why we can't show their work - I find those calls very hard to deal with. Artists we do exhibit also phone to find out if we've managed to sell anything and, if we have, when the money will be coming through.

M: And are you involved in other aspects of the business?

W: Yes. The company also offers a consultancy service for large companies that want to display works of art in their offices. I phone round companies, explain what we do and, if they're interested, make an appointment for the gallery manager to go and see them.

M: And the best part of the job for you?

W: I really don't know what we're going to have to cope with. I like working with nice people. The really rewarding thing for me is that I have the pleasure of spending my days surrounded by beautiful works of art.

M: Thank you Rachel! You did a good job as a marketing manager.

【題目】 Consuming food can be a pleasurable thing-we enjoy the mix of tastes and textures (結(jié)構(gòu)) and it stops us feeling hungry too. Of course, food also gives us energy and the vitamins and minerals that our body needs. It’s no wonder we spend so much time preparing and eating food. But what many of us don’t consider is how our emotions are affected by what we put into our bellies.

For me, it’s the unhealthy foods that put a smile on my face-chocolate, cakes and ice cream. It might seem obvious that food that’s bad for our waistline, usually makes us happy, at least in the short term. But dieticians tell us that eating bad food long term, not only makes us put on weight but can lead to other health conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病), and it can also affect our mental state and bring on depression.

The link between our mind and food has been looked at by scientists. They’ve recently found that it’s the bacteria in our gut that affects our mood. It’s thought we have 39 trillion of these simple, small organisms (生物體) in our body. Researchers at McMaster University in Canada have found that certain “good” bacteria help reduce anxiety in mice. Experts believe that, for us humans, this means food with “good” bacteria can improve the way we feel.

Many food products are claiming to be high in this “good” bacteria and some of the best types are homemade food like miso soup, yoghurt and sauerkraut (泡菜). Doctor Michael Mosley would agree. He says the best food to cheer us up is in a “Mediterranean diet”. Olive oil; oily fish, full of omega 3, which is really good for the brain; whole grains; lots of fruits and vegetables. Sugar: terrible for you! There are other factors that can change our mood but it seems we have some ability to improve how we feel by controlling what we put on our plate. Does your diet affect your mood?

【1】What helps reduce anxiety in mice?

A.Good bacteria.B.Bad food.

C.Large organisms.D.Health conditions.

【2】We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A.we can improve how we feel by controlling food

B.people had better eat less cakes and ice cream

C.Mediterranean diet cheers people up

D.some of the worst food are homemade food like miso soup

【3】The best title of the passage may be ________.

A.The Theory of FoodB.Change Your Food

C.Food and MoodD.Enjoy Your Food

China is home to over 1.3 billion people, who live in such contrasting environments as the fast-paced modern cities of Shanghai and Hong Kong, the mountains and forests in western China.

What is art? It is very difficult to come 【1】 with a thorough answer. Tons of people have their own opinions and think they know what art 【2】 (true) is. Most people’s answers are too general to distinguish what art is. Art is a creative form of work,【3】 (design) to have a purpose and show emotion.

There is a purpose to every piece of artwork. Therefore 【4】 artist had to start with a unique idea, or reason for 【5】 they’re creating. Historically, art has many different purposes for being made.
