   Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would prefer sweets and ice-cream to meet and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we eat before a meal, they may take away our appetite(食欲). It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England some judges used to decide whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. He was telling lies. Though this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something had difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.

  A. we want to keep fit                           B. we enjoy our meals

  C. we want to eat more                         D. we want to save time

64. According to the passage we may eat sweets and ice-cream _____.

  A. when we are happy                          B. when we have a good appetite

  C. after a meal                                     D. before a meal

65. When does the speaker suggest it would be better to have our meals?

  A. When our work is over                     B. At the regular time every day

  C. When the meal is still hot                  D. When every family member is home

66. If a man is worrying he _____.

  A. has no appetite                                 B. wants to eat more food

  C. wants to drink                                  D. seems rather foolish

We each have a unique genetic (基因的,遗传的) make-up. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents’ genes. Except for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make.
But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births---some are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters.
Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins.
Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this.
We could ask, “Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are.
【小题1】What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline. I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases—“good times”—in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry.
You’ve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friend’s habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns(模式). For example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces.
And the effect isn’t limited to real-life face-to-face activities. Another study found that the same you-drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. At least I don’t feel so strange anymore, having picked up on Adam Carolla’s “good times”.
New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. That’s right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion.
As with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. However, the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly explain eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. The researchers note that “as long as people don’t fully recognize such important influences on intake (eating), it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.
【小题1】The author takes his own example of using “good times” to_______.

A.express his love for radio shows
B.prove the popularity of the show
C.show the influence of the hosts’ words
D.introduce the topic of the passage
【小题2】Which of the following is NOT an example of behavioral mimicry?
A.A boy eats his popcorn after watching the actor eat.
B.A boy buys a Nike shirt when he finds his desk-mate has one.
C.A girl unconsciously sits straight just as others do.
D.A girl takes on the Yorkshire accent after a month’s stay.
【小题3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A.behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our health
B.behavioral mimicry decides our eating behavior
C.people have realized the effect of behavioral mimicry on our health
D.It’s impossible to keep a healthy diet without knowing behavioral mimicry
【小题4】What is probably the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To draw readers’ attention to popular radio shows.
B.To introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence.
C.To appeal to readers not to fall into others’ habits.
D.To advocate healthy food choices among readers.
