21、Of all the problems that people face today, depression proves to be one of the hardest to pinpoint. People often suffer secretly, not wanting to admit their need of professional help. They continue with their normal routines and, many times, unhealthy eating habits. Now, health professionals are actually linking diet and depression and have found success in using diet to treat the disorder.

Several researchers and Australian institutions at Deakin University in Victoria, Australia, set out to evaluate the direct link between diet and depression. They carried out the study over a 12-week period and observed 67 patients with moderate to severe depression. For their control group, the patients received social support rather than switching their eating habits to a well-balanced diet. The other patients then received dietary counseling sessions where they were advised to eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. After the trial period, over 30 percent of the patients had gone into remission with their depression. Only 8 percent of the control group actually experienced this same improvement. This trial has greatly helped researchers understand and better help patients suffering from depression.

Most Americans today do not associate their diet and depression together. Nearly 60 percent of Americans eat over processed foods. 90 percent of added sugar comes from these processed foods. For people with depression, this diet might give a short energy burst, but it will eventually cause energy to sink, bringing happy moods down with it. Many people also love caffeine, drinking multiple cups each day. Again, they consume extra sugar. However, the caffeine can also disrupt sleep and cause anxiety. In addition, people with depression may have a tendency to turn to alcohol Unfortunately, alcohol depresses the central nervous system, which will directly influence a person’s mood for the worse, especially those dealing with depression.

According to the research, diet and depression do go hand in hand. Those suffering from depression should do away with processed foods as much as possible. With a few simple changes in lifestyle, these patients can improve their mental health and return to normal activities with renewed energy and joy.

【1】What prevents patients from being identified according to the passage?

A．Their reluctance to ask for treatment.

B．Lack of professional help.

C．Unawareness of their diet problems.

D．Inadequate social support.

【2】What do we know about the study conducted at Deakin University?

A．The patients in the study came from different parts of the world.

B．Two groups were divided on the basis of their levels of depression.

C．The control group enjoyed a better improvement in their mood.

D．The study helps researchers find a better treatment for depression.

【3】How do processed foods influence those dealing with depression according to the study?

A．Chemicals in them will weaken patients’ central nervous system.

B．Added sugar from them will finally lessen patients’ happiness.

C．They can make patients more likely to be addicted to alcohol.

D．They will reduce essential mood-boosting nutrients in patients.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．What you need is just a right diet

B．What is your depression killer?

C．Is your diet making you depressed?

D．It’s time to change your life style

22、   Taking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has found. Adults ages 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental mind compared to those who didn't nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.

Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2, 214 Chinese people aged 60 and older and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, both of which test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every category listed in the study, nappers scored statistically higher on average compared to those non-napping people. Researchers did not gather data from people under 60, so a correlation cannot be drawn between napping and younger generations.

Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a variety of factors, said Dr. David Neubauer, associate professor at Johns Hopkins University. Daily routines, medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequently someone takes a nap, he said.

Neubauer recommended taking a shorter “power nap" of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances of transitioning into slow-wave sleep, which makes people feel dizzy when they wake up. Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult's day, Neubauer acknowledged, but make sure sleepiness isn't due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder. "Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioning should put nighttime sleep in the first place."

【1】What is the age range of the participants?

A．Under 60.

B．From 60 to 70.

C．At 60.

D．60 and above.

【2】What has the participants tested in the research?

A．Recognizing flavors.

B．Language competence.

C．Eating habits.

D．Sight sensitivity.

【3】What kind of sleep will make people dizzy?

A．Slow-wave sleep.

B．Nighttime sleep.

C．Power nap.

D．Oversleeping.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．The Factors Affacting Sleeping Behaviors

B．It Is No Good for the Young to Take a Nap

C．A Research Aimed at Monitoring Sleeping Quality for the Old

D．An Afternoon Nap Could Improve the Old's Cognitive Ability

23、   There are many therapies (疗法) for depression, including medical treatment, psychotherapy and talk therapy. Having a range of treatment choices is a good idea because no single treatment works equally well for each of millions of sufferers. Choosing the most suitable treatment is important to them. Now researchers say a new therapy proven to relieve depression should be added to the established treatments. It's called nature therapy. “Interacting with nature can have positive effects on those with depression,” says Ethan Kross, PhD, an expert who has studied the nature-depression link.

A little exposure to nature helps all of us get our energy back, and it may have special benefit for those who are depressed. “It seems that, from our work, the restorative effect of nature seems to be stronger for individuals with depression,” says Marc Berman, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. That might be because they feel mentally exhausted, and being in nature reenergizes them. However, Dr. Berman has a strong warning. “We're not arguing that interacting with nature should replace clinically proven treatments for depression,” he says, “Nor should those with clinical depression try to treat themselves.”

However, Berman and others say, interactions with nature could serve as a very effective supplementary treatment. Compared to adults with depression walking for 50 minutes in an urban setting, those who took a 50-minute walk in a natural setting were less depressed and had better memory skills.

Why does nature hold this special effect? Berman says, “In a natural environment, we can choose to think or not, and this choice is believed to help us rest our brains. You can then pay attention later, when you need to.” He adds, “It gives people more ability to concentrate, which is a big problem for those with depression.” Nature provides an effective setting for resting our brains, unlike urban setting. Even in the most peaceful urban environment, you have to pay attention to such things as traffic and stoplights.

【1】What can we learn about depression therapies from paragraph 1?

A.They focus on physical activity. B.They pay no attention to interactions.

C.They mainly depend on natural environment. D.They need to be tailored to different patients.

【2】How does nature benefit patients with depression？

A.By replacing clinic treatment. B.By making them feel energetic.

C.By reminding them to rest in time. D.By covering up their mental problems

【3】What does the underlined word “supplementary” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Essential. B.Traditional. C.Controversial. D.Additional.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.An urban setting of restoring energy.

B.The positive role of nature in treating depression.

C.The popularity of using multiple ways to treat diseases.

D.An effective replacement of clinical therapy for depression.

24、On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.

During his talk, Jack took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?”

Hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose. But I ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”

After this week, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mail Jack.

A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”!

It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. I wrote and rewrote. Even though I could feel the fear, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turns out a best-seller on Amazon!

We all have a “Jack” for whom we wait—whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?

【1】From the first paragraph we can learn that the author_________.

A．wanted Jack to autograph her book

【2】It can be inferred from the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who_________.
