7.If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day,think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year,a survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most,with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz-the equivalent of a whole dress size-while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.
The report into our eating habits found that,on average,we eat at least two snacks a day,with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men,with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research,by The Village Bakery,found biscuits are the most common vice,with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack,closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent),crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).
And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition,33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.
Simon Staddon,of The Village Bakery,said:"We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocked by the extent to which‘quick fix'lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing.Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits,chocolate and cakes are high in calories,fat and full of sugar,all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain."
The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying,compared to 20 per cent of men.Unfortunately,it's not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.

61.According to the passage,women usually put weight on firstD
A.on the face       
B.on the legs         
C.on the feet     
D.in the middle
62.What's the main reason of eating snacks in office?C
A.Colleagues eat them to save money.
B.Staff use them to cope with their lunch.
C.Colleagues often bring them to office.
D.Bosses invite staff to eat them.
63.Why do office workers eat a"quick fix"lunch?D
A.Because it has much of nutrition.
B.Because it has little effect on weight gain.
C.Because it has little effect on general wellbeing.
D.Because they have short time to have their lunches.

Milan may not the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy.Rome is the most famous city in Italian history,Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with art lovers.Yet Milan can often be left off tourists'lists.But although some see Milan as the"ugly sister"of these cities,according to Lonely Planet,in 2015the city is"suddenly back in fashion in a big way".
The Milan Expo will look at the future of food,trying to answer the question of how Earth's fast-growing population can be fed in the future.According to Lonely Planet website."144countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan,forming a mini city-within-a-city".
Milan's famous opera house,La Scala,normally closed in the summer,will also host daily performances during the expo,reported Fox News.
Not interested in opera?Don't worry.Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium,home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan.Tile stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years,both in Serie A and the European Champions League.
So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem"soulless",as Lonely Planet said.it still has"a serious sense of history and place".Many people will be discovering it this year,and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems.Will you?

12.Eating different colored foods can keep you healthy,as well as change your mood and behavior.Here is a list of colors,which can change your life.
Blue/Purple
Blue is considered to be peaceful and calming and it has the same effect on our health.The blue/purple color in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that are particularly heart healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure.Out of all the blue and purple foods available,blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level.An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.
A food and health expert says that blue and purple color foods can prevent blood mass formation,and they also lower the risk of cancer.
Foods that contain blue and purple colors are:reddish eggplant (especially the skin),blueberries,blackberries,purple grapes,etc.
Green
We all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature.The green foods are rich in isothiocyanates,which help resist cancer.
Dr.Ashok Agarwal,a food and nutrition specialist,explains,"They are excellent sources of folic acid,vitamin K,as well as carotene (胡萝卜素).Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure."
Foods that contain the green color are:broccoli,cabbage,cucumbers,etc.
Red
Lycopene (番茄红素) in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers,and also provides protection against heart attacks.
Dr.Smiths says,"Cooked tomato sauces are associated with greater health benefits as compared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body.Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection,storage and cooking of the produce."
Foods that contain red color are:Tomatoes and tomato products,watermelon,guava,red onions,red chili,red apples,red grapes,cherries,etc.
Orange
The orange foods are also rich in carotene,which are particularly good antioxidants.These foods are commonly considered eyesight foods because they contain vitamin A.
"Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in preventing cancer,particularly of the lungs and stomach.Foods that contain the color orange are:Carrots,mangoes,sweet potatoes,pumpkins,etc.

D.tomatoes should be eaten cooked so that we can benefit the most.
5.Why do men die earlier than women?The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts hardly lose their pumping power with age.
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25percent between 18and 70years of age."said the head of the study,David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat.Between the age of 20and 70.one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,"said Goldspink."This is part of the ageing process."
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells.A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.
"This gender(性别)difference might just explain why women live longer than men,"said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250healthy men and women between the ages of 18and 80,focusing on heahhy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

68.The underlined word"longevity"in the second paragraph probably refers toB.
A.health      
B.long life      
C.ageing          
D.effect
69.The text mainly talks aboutD.
A.men's heart cells                 
B.women's ageing process
C.the gender difference              
D.hearts and long life
70.According to the text,the UK scientists have known thatC.
A.women have more cells than men when they are born
B.women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
C.the female heart loses few of the cells with age
D.women never lose their pumping power with age
71.We can know from the passage thatA.
A.scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells
B.the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out
C.the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss
D.wome over 70could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20.
