Some foods are known to have a completely ruined effect on your brain function, and nutritionists advise us not to consume them too much in order to limit their negative impacts. Here are some top foods that kill your intelligence. ‎ 一. Sugar Sugar and sugary products are bad not only for your waistline, but for your brain function as well. Long-term consumption of sugar can create a lot of neurological (神经系统的) problems, and it can also do harm to your memory. On the other hand, sugar can also bring damage to your ability to learn. So avoid the products. ‎ 二. Alcohol Alcohol is known to harm your liver (肝) in the long run, and it also causes what is known as "brain fog", a feeling of mental confusion. It acts like a cloud that impacts your ability to think clearly, as well as your memory. Have you ever noticed that you cannot remember common items’names? This might be influenced by high alcohol intake, which impacts the balance of the brain. ‎ 三. Junk Food A recent study has revealed that junk food can change the chemicals in the brain, thus leading to symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. Besides, foods that are high in fat can also produce some symptoms that are similar to the signs of "miss" when you stop consuming them. These foods affect the production of dopamine (多巴胺), an important chemical that promotes happiness and an overall feeling of well-being. ‎ 四. Very Salty Foods Everybody knows that salty foods affect your blood pressure and they are very hard on your heart. However, as research suggests, foods that contain high amounts of salt can affect your learning function and make your ability to think imperfect. Otherwise stated, salty foods affect your intelligence! As a matter of fact, the consumption of salty foods has been shown to have the same effect as drugs, as they cause uncomfortable symptoms and hunger for salty foods. ‎ 五. Foods with Processed Proteins (蛋白质)‎ Meat is the richest source of high-quality protein, but avoids overly processed proteins such as hot dogs, sausages and so on. Unlike the natural proteins that help your body protect the nervous system, processed proteins do exactly the opposite. Better choose natural products, such as fish, dairy products, and seeds as these are natural, high-quality protein sources. ‎ ‎21. Which group of foods may affect your memory? ‎ A. Sugar and alcohol. ‎ B. Sugar and junk food. ‎ C. Alcohol and junk food. ‎ D. Sugar and very salty foods. ‎ ‎22. If you want to promote happiness, which of the following should you stop eating? ‎ A. Sugar. ‎ B. Foods with processed proteins. ‎ C. Alcohol. ‎ D. Junk food. ‎ ‎23. The special effect of foods high in fat and very salty foods lies in_________. ‎ A. increase of anxiety ‎ B. decrease of blood pressure ‎ C. mental confusion ‎ D. their addiction ‎ ‎24. In terms of the mentioned foods, the writer seems to tell us_________. ‎ A. they will affect our health once eaten ‎ B. the more you eat, the less chance of illness you will get ‎ C. the key point is to pay special attention to the amount we take ‎ D. once we are addicted, it’s hard to get rid of them ‎ B When I was in primary school，sometimes I would meet a girl of the same age as me.Lisa was never active，but she was always very sweet and nice.In the 5th grade she came to my class.‎ She was absent a lot，and one day I had the courage to ask why.She told me she was sick，and she explained she wore a wig (假发) because her medicine made her lose her hair.We_left_it_at_that.Anytime Lisa came to class—seldom—I would hang with her on the playground.‎ I received much ridicule (嘲弄) from my friends for this because they thought I was ignoring them for Lisa.My family education taught me to be nice，and I felt Lisa’s needs were much more important than others I knew.‎ It had been months since Lisa was in our class，and one day our teacher was crying.She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate.She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争) with cancer for years.‎ I was shocked.Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her.Well，all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart.When I go through the important events in my life，I think of Lisa.‎ I’ve had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father.I’d like to tell them that though they never met me，their daughter had a sweet effect (影响) on my life.I have no idea what her parents’first names are.I write to your column (栏目) and hope you can point me in the right direction.‎ Lisa was such a lovely girl.Maybe her parents would be comforted by the fact that after all these years they are not the only ones who remember her.‎ ‎25．The underlined sentence in Para.2 probably means________.‎ A．we kept on talking about her illness later B．we discussed the topic and then left together C．we just stopped talking about her illness D．we went away after talking about her illness ‎26．Why was the author being laughed at?‎ A．Because she wore a wig to school.‎ B．Because she always played with Lisa.‎ C．Because she cried in the classroom.‎ D．Because she lost her friends because of Lisa.‎ ‎27．What did the author learn from Lisa?‎ A．To keep your illness a secret.‎ B．To be nice to everyone everywhere.‎ C．To face challenges in life bravely.‎ D．To put others’needs above yours.‎ ‎28．The author wrote this passage mainly to________.‎ A．remember a true friend B．ask for help to find a friend’s parents C．show her concern for a friend D．tell her experience of fighting cancer C To see the world is one thing；to have someone to share it with is another.Indeed，travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner.A travel partner can be a close friend，a family member，a pal you’ve met online，or a business friend.‎ You can have someone to talk to Traveling alone is fun，but wouldn’t you feel lonely？Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to.You don’t have to ask any information from the locals，and you can increase the time you spend in the country.‎ ‎__________________________‎ One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs，such as your food.Of course，you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However，when you have a travel friend，you can have someone to share the expenses with.‎ You can meet a good friend Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.‎ ‎ You can have someone to watch out for you  ‎ When you’re in a foreign land，you’ll never be really safe.You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don’t you find a travel companion now?‎ Let’s find out how ...‎ ‎29.

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, you can survive it.”‎ Call it a flashlight for dark times: laughter just seems to adjust attitude better than anything else. Inspirational speaker Steve Rizzo recalls a TV interview with an injured firefighter a few days after 9.11．The man had fallen more than 30 stories in one of the towers and had broken a leg. Everyone was crying, and the reporter asked, “How is it that you’ve come out of this alive?” He looked at her and without missing a beat, said, “Look, lady, I’m from New York and I’m a firefighter; that’ all you need to know.”‎ ‎“Everyone laughed and though the laughter was only a couple of seconds,” says Rizzo. “Sometimes that’s all you need to catch your second breath. Laughter gives you that couple of seconds. You’re sending a message to your brain, and the message is: If you can still laugh even a little among the pain, you are going to be OK.”‎ Of course, there is a difference between laughing off a serious situation and laughing off the fear that results. The firefighter was doing the latter, states Rizzo, the author of Becoming a Humorous Being, and so should we. “If there is anything we have learnt from 9.11, it’s how precious life really is,” she says. “We have to send a message that our spirit won’t die. One important thing that unites us is our ability to laugh.”   ‎ ‎33．The writer uses the examples of the comedian and the firefighter to show              .‎ A．laughter is a good way to get rid of pain and fear B．laughter is the best way to cure psychological wounds C．it is your attitude that decides whether you can survive the pain or not D．laughing off a serious situation is different from laughing off the fear that results ‎34．We can infer from the passage that Steve Rizzo is .‎ A．a reporter B．a soldier   C．a firefighter   D．a doctor ‎35． The underlined word futile in the first paragraph means .‎ A．hopeless    B．useless   C．careless    D．worthless         ‎ How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.‎ ‎  36   Do not hide things from them, do not lie. Don’t be afraid to say things that isn’t very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there’s no trust, there’s nothing there. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you. ‎ Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isn’t just simply treating her or him nicely. There’s a lot more to it.
