.阅读理解
(2017·福州质量检测)Who hasn't found themselves reaching for the closest food available when they're tired and stressed? More and more research is proving that this isn't all in our mind. Some foods really do lead to a change in our moods (心情)．
Carbohydrate (碳水化合物) for calm
This is how some people medicate themselves with food — by reaching for cookies or pasta(意大利面食) whenever they're upset.
Unfortunately, it doesn't always work.
You must eat a meal consisting of 100% carbohydrate, on an empty stomach, to obtain the serotonin (血清素) increase so that you have a good mood.
To get the wishedfor effect, you must not eat anything for four hours and then eat at least 30 grams of straight carbohydrate. Dry cereal (谷类食品), a piece of bread with jam, or a potato should do_the_trick.
Protein (蛋白质) for power
Of course, sometimes we don't need to be calm and sleepy.Sometimes we need a great deal of mental concentration, so this is when it's important to mix protein and carbohydrate. The protein will prevent the tryptophan(色氨酸) from flooding your brain，and the rise in serotonin won't occur.
Why dessert makes us happy
Fat and sugar cause the brain to let go endorphins (内啡肽)，which send pleasure signals throughout the body. This would be fine, except humans are not particularly good at stopping at one cookie or cake.
You can also satisfy your sweet tooth by choosing fruit for dessert.
Timing your meals for energy
Blood sugar drops after four hours of going without food, causing a decrease in energy. Eating usually fixes this within 20 to 30 minutes, but don't suppose that eating more will cause a faster increase in energy.
When you eat has as much of an effect on your mood as what you eat.
If you regularly go for a long period of time between meals, rethink your schedule and plan ahead.

A．be extremely smart
B．intend to cheat someone
C．bring about the desired result
D．do something to amuse people
解析：词义猜测题。此处与本段开头部分的“To get the wishedfor effect”相呼应，由此可推断其意思是“达到预期效果”。
答案：C
2．The function of protein is ________.
A．to help you keep calm and sleepy
B．to make you feel energetic
C．to lead you to slowness
D．to increase serotonin in your brain
解析：细节理解题。根据第二个标题中的内容可知蛋白质的功能是让你精力充沛。
答案：B
3．We can infer from the last two parts that ________.
A．fat and sugar can greatly help people feel happy
B．we humans tend to eat lots of cookies and cakes
C．the more we eat, the faster we will gain energy
D．what we eat is more important than when we eat
解析：推理判断题。根据第三个标题第一句中的内容可知脂肪和糖能极大地帮助人们感觉高兴。
答案：A
4．The main idea of the passage is ________.
A．eating for a better mood
B．eating to make you calm
C．eating for more protein
D．eating to make us strong
解析：主旨大意题。第一段的最后一句是本文的中心句，根据本句的内容可知最佳标题是“吃出好心情”。

参考范文：
Recently we have carried out a detailed survey of whether people should keep pets in cities, which shows we students hold entirely different ideas.
Some students think it's a good idea to keep pets because unaccompanied old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea to raise pets in cities. In their opinion, raising pets costs a large amount of money and, if too many people keep pets in cities, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise disturbing the neighbors and even attack people sometimes.
I like animals and I find it amazing to have such pets as dogs. I don't think it is bad to keep pets at home even if we are in cities, but we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment or causing other troubles.
