9.Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago.(36)CThe scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.(37)ESo they are called"diseases of civilization".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.(38)DHowever,a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat,which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products,and they made very little use of grains.(39)BWe eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
(40)FBut scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did,cutting the amount of fatty,salty and sweet food.
A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.
B.But today,we enjoy eating a lot of these.
C.In that case,they would live much healthier.
D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.
G.Modern people used to suffer from"diseases of civilization".

解答 36.C.推理判断题.根据前文They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago人们应该吃1万年前人们吃的东西,在那种情况下,人们将活得更为健康;故选C.
37.E.推理判断题.根据前面提及的this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.以及后面的they are called"diseases of civilization".可知这些新的疾病在古时候是没有的;故选E.
38.D.推理判断题.根据前文enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.可知古代人不抽烟喝酒,接下来应该说古代人还经常锻炼;故选D.
39.B.推理判断题.根据前面三句话They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products,and they made very little use of grains可知古代人有很多好的习惯,而现代人恰恰相反;故选B.
40.F.推理判断题.根据后半句But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did,cutting the amount of fatty,salty and sweet food.可知现代人不想像古代人那样生活;故选F.

In a stressful situation it's often a must to clear your mind completely to allow your brain to refresh itself and recalibrate all of its functions.But when you're tense,clearing your mind isn't so easy!Try this relaxation technique if you think your brain has seized up from information overload.
1.Set aside at least five minutes for quiet"clearing"time.If you're at school,see if you can put your head down somewhere or find an empty room or quiet space.If necessary,set a watch (or phone) alarm or ask a friend to tap you on the shoulder at a designated time.
2.Think of a time or place that puts you into a complete state of peace.This place will vary from person to person.Have you ever sat on the beach watching the waves come in and realized you've"zoned out"fora while?This is the sort of experience you're looking for.Other experiences that make us zone out could be:Sitting in the dark and staring at Christmas tree lights-remember how peaceful that feels?
3.Cover your eyes and go to your"place".If you are at school preparing for a test before class,you may simply rest your elbows on the desk and put your hands over your eyes.For some people,it may not be a good idea to put your head down.(You might fall asleep!)
Don't let any thoughts creep into your head.As soon as you start to think about a test problem,clear away the thought and concentrate on your peaceful place.
4.Snap out of it!Remember,this is not nap time.The point here is to refresh your brain.After five or ten minutes of clearing time,take a brisk walk or take a drink of water to re-energize your mind and body.Stay relaxed and resist the urge to think about the things that are stressing you out or clogging your brain.Don't let your brain go back to freeze-out.
Now go on with your test or study session refreshed and ready!
