Advertising is about creating images, and this is especially true when advertising food and drinks. What the 1 looks like is more important than what it tastes like. If companies hope to sell food successfully, the food must 2 appetizing.

Television advertising of food often uses 3 . Apparently, food looks especially appetizing if it moves. Chocolate sauce looks much more 4 when you see it being poured over ice cream than it does just sitting in a jar.

5 effects also help to sell food: sausages sizzling(咝咝响) in a frying pan are mouth-watering. A TV 6 for a brand of coffee had the sound of coffee percolating(过滤) in the background. The commercial was so 7 that it lasted five years.

The 8 of food and its packaging is also very important. If the color looks 9 , people won’t eat it. Nobody would normally eat blue bread or drink blue beer. Other 10 food colors are purple, gray, and in some cases, white.

How people expect something to taste often influences how it 11 does taste. Researchers gave some mineral water to two groups of people. They told one group that the water was mineral water, and almost all people said, “It tastes 12 .”Then the researchers told the other group that the water was tap water. This group said the water tasted a little funny. The word tap created a(n) 13 image of chlorine(氯).

It is the same with 14 . A food manufacturer gave a group of people the same 15 in a glass jar and in a can and asked them to taste it. They all claimed that the product in the glass jar tasted better.

So it seems to be true. Image is everything. 1. A. company B. food C. image D. milk 2. A. look B. taste C. sound D. smell 3. A. sound B. sense C. movement D. imagination 4. A. beautiful B. natural C. clean D. delicious 5. A. Action B. Television C. Music D. Sound 6. A. advertisement B. program C. show D. speech 7. A. noisy B. expensive C. successful D. long 8.

Kids don’t have to pay bills, cook dinners or make a living. But—just like adults—they have their share of daily demands and things that don’t go well. If disappointments start to build up, kids may get stressed.

It’s natural for all kids to worry at times, and because of personality differences, some may worry more than others. Luckily, parents can help kids deal with their worries. Kids who can learn how to work through their worries develop a sense of confidence and optimism that will help them deal with life’s challenges, big and small.

What kids worry about is often related to the age and stage they are in. Kids usually worry about things like scores, tests, their changing bodies, etc. Because they’re beginning to feel more about being a part of the larger world around them, kids may also worry about world events or issues they hear about on TV or at school. Things like war, pollution, global warming, endangered species, and natural disasters can become a source of worry. How to help kids conquer their worries, then? · Find out what’s on their minds: be available and take an interest in what’s happening at school, on the team, and with your kids’ friends. If your kids seem to be worried about something, ask about it. Encourage them to tell you about their worries.

· Show your love and understanding: being interested in your kids’ concerns shows they’re important to you and helps them feel supported and understood. · Guide kids to solutions: you can help reduce worries by helping kids learn to deal with challenging situations. When your kid tells you about a problem, offer to help come up with a solution. If your kid is worried about an upcoming math test, for example, offering to help him study will reduce his concern about it.

These days, I call my mother every morning, drive my 14-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son to the bus stop or to school and then deal with the e-mail and voice mail when I finally get to my office. It’s our ritual (例行公事), one that began after my father’s death three years ago. Every time my mother answers the phone, I can feel the delight in her voice at the sound of mine. There probably isn’t anyone else in the world that is as glad to hear from me and as sincerely interested in the details of my life.

What are we doing, my mother and I, with all these phone calls?

Staying in touch, letting each other know that another day is beginning and that all is well—every little thing in our world is important. I know that whatever else I may be, I’ll always be my mother’s daughter; whatever else she may be, she will always be my mom. We’re also friends, independent of each other, yet deeply concerned.

I have to reach back a long way to remember another time when every day began with my mother’s voice—all the way to my early teens, when we both lived under the same roof and our connection was far more troubled. It turns out that both these phases (阶段) of our relationship have followed a rather classic pattern.

A study of older men in The Netherlands, known for its delicious chocolate, showed those who ate the same amount of one-third of a chocolate bar every day had lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of death.

The researchers say, however, it’s too early to conclude that it was the chocolate that led to better health. The men who ate more cocoa products could have eaten other food that made them healthier. Experts also point out that eating too much chocolate can make you fat — a risk for both heart disease and high blood pressure.

“It’s why too early to make recommendations about whether people should eat more cocoa or chocolate,” said Brian Buijsse, an expert for nutrition at Wageningen University in The Netherlands, who co-authored the study.

Still, the Dutch Study, supported by grants (拨款) from the Netherlands Prevention Foundation, appears to be the largest so far to document a health effect for cocoa beans. And it confirms findings of smaller, shorter-term studies that also linked chocolate with lower blood pressure.

Researchers examined the eating habits of 470 healthy men who were not taking blood pressure medicine. The men who ate the most products made from cocoa beans — including

cocoa drinks, chocolate bars and chocolate pudding — had lower blood pressure and a 50 percent lower risk of death.

“This is a very important article providing epidemiological support for what many researchers have been observing is experimental models,” said Cesar Fraga of the University of California Davis, who does similar research but was not involved in the new study.

Could the study results apply to women?

“Our study consisted of elderly inch,” Buijsse said. “If you look at the other studies, you will see the same effects in men and women, younger people and older people. The findings may be generalizable to women, but you never know.” 36. We can learn from the text that _________.

A. researchers have concluded that eating chocolate can lead to better health B. It’s too early to say eating too much chocolate makes you gain weight

C. People in the Netherlands are least likely to suffer from high blood pressure D. there had been other similar studies before the Dutch study

A. It has been concluded that the findings are generalizable to women B. It needs confirming whether women can share the same effects C. The study results cannot apply to women

D. The findings are applicable to both men and women

B. To prove to us that eating chocolate can reduce blood pressure. C. To inform us of a study about the health benefits of chocolate.

D. To warn us not to eat cocoa products because they can make you fat.

Slang is a popular, less official and often very current form of language. It is an important part of a living language and is constantly changing as language changes. Slang is often playful, direct and sometimes less respectful than the more official and traditional version of language. So now I'm going to lay it on you! To “lay it on” is American slang for “to tell” or “to explain.”

Slang can take many forms. For example, slang can be local to one city or area. In Washington, D.C. there is a whole set of slang to describe politics and business in the city. For example, the term POTUS stands for President of the United States. POTUS can often be found with his wife, FLOTUS, the first lady of the United States. “Inside the Beltway” is a popular expression that describes the area of Washington, D.C. The beltway is the large highway that circles the city.
