Eating different coloured foods can keep you healthy, as well as change your mood and behaviour. Here is a list of colours, which can change your life.
Blue/Purple
Blue is considered to be peaceful and calm and it has the same effect on our health. The blue/purple colour in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are an?tioxidants (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 Ex?amination 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 colour foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.
Foods that contain blue and purple colours are: red?dish eggplant (especially the skin) , blueberries, black?berries, purple grapes, etc.
Green
We all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothio-cyanates, 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 colour are ： broccoli ， cab?bages ,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 protec?tion against heart attacks.
Dr Smith says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associ?ated 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 the red colour 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 is a particularly good antioxidant. These foods are com?monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vi?tamin A.
Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in pre?venting cancer, particularly the lung and stomach canc?er. Foods that contain the orange colour are- carrots, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc.

If you are sending a text message, watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使..... 萎缩)the brain? research suggests.
A study found that men and women who frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex re?searchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devices simultaneously could be changing the structure of our brains."
Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, de?pression ,anxiety and lower grades at school.
The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between differ?ent types of technology. This could mean sending a text mes?sage while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environ?ments and experience.
Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of Lon?don―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.
Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technol?ogy can have on our memory and attention span. The Univer?sity of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99， and found 20% had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.
Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.
1. The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2 means "____________ ，"
A. on one's own B. at no time
C. at the same time D. by accident
2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT__________ .

3. What can increase grey matter densities?
A. Sending a text message while listening to music.
B. Students' doing their homework.
C. Taxi drivers' learning the map of London.
D. Speaking on the phone while watching TV.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of this pas?sage?
A. Media multitasking is becoming more popular
B. Multitasking shrinks the brain
C. Multitasking may shorten attention span
D. People are worried about their memories

6. I'd like my bedroom_________________ (design) according to the fashionable style of Europe and America.
For foreigners, entering a public toilet inChinacan be a horrifying experience. In the 1990s, a third of all complaints to tourism officials in Beijing concerned the design, and the bad smell of public toilets.
China has battled smelly toilets for at least 2 ， 000 years. In the Kingdom of Wei (220—265AD) ， visitors to the palace bathrooms would find boxes to cover their noses and ward off unpleasant smells. Both flushing (冲水)toilets and toilet paper were invented in China, however? only for the use of the emperor.
Today Chinese scientists have claimed victory in their battle to improve public restrooms, introducing a bacterial spray that can almost eliminate the bad smell. First, a set of six types of bacteria work to break down the smelly compounds and then a perfume made from or?ange skin lightly scents(使芳香)the air. The "smell-free toilet" study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences was declared the "ultimate" cure to an "urgent" national issue.
"Five scientists have worked on this from 2011 to the beginning of this year," said Dr Yan Zhiying, a bacteriolo?gist with the Academy's Chengdu Institute of Biology, adding that they had spent £140， 000 on the project.
"Some local government officials here visited a sew?age (污水 ) plant and saw that the treatment technology had come from Japan. They wanted a home-grown solu?tion so they asked us to work on it," he added. "We ob?tained bacteria from all types of waste from humans, pigs, chicken and ducks, and we tested our compounds one by one," he said. "The smells coming out of public toilets, or trash cans, are made up of more than 160 dif?ferent compounds," he explained, adding that their bac?teria spray can change and absorb many of them.
He boasted that the Chinese formula(配方)，which costs only around £5 per litre, has no side effects and can be used to remove any bad smell.
