If our bodies actually suffer from eating too much sugar, then why do we like it? And why don 't we have such a strong eager for food like, say, broccoli (西兰花)，which is a great source of Vitamin C,Vitamin K iron, all things our body actually needs? If it's so bad for us, then why does sugar taste so good? There are hundreds of journal articles trying to answer that very question. Let' s take a look at what they' ve come up with.

Studies have shown that the love children have for sugar may be born with. In other words, kids may have a built-in love of all things sweet. The preference for sweet foods is found to be already evident in newborns, who prefer sweeter formulas (配方). It also seems to be shared by children globally across cultures and climates. There’s further evidence that kids’ taste buds (味蕾) are more sensitive to bitter-tasting foods, further pushing them to reach for the sweets. One study showed that adults tend to maximize their sugar preference at about the level of sugar in a can of soda, but older children still liked drinks that were twice as sweet. The scientists couldn't find a limit to the concentration of sugar younger children preferred. It turms out that the kids still liked the sugary drink even past the point where there was too much sugar to be dissolved (溶解) in water anymore.

Sugar gets a bad fame, but it isn't all bad. Sugar provides our bodies with calories, which we can then change into energy. Children, in particular, need this energy to fuel their rapid growth. Sugar also helps us store fat, which can be drawn on later if needed. Our body knows to pursue the things it needs as two way of signaling our brain to start eating what we’re missing.

As a vegetarian (素食主义者)，I know that when I start thinking about stealing the peanut butter sandwich that's been floating around in my kid' s backpack, it' s probably not because the sandwich is so delicious. It' s more likely that I haven't gotten enough protein for the day.

1.What makes so many people study sugar?

B.Curiosity about Sugar.

C.The love for sugar.

D.The magic effect of sugar.

2.What do the studies show about eating the sweets?

B.A vegetarian doesn't like sugar so much.

C.The older one is, the more sugar one needs.

D.The love for sugar depends on living habits.

3.How does sugar impress us according to the text?

A.Deadly but irresistible.

B.Beneficial but harmful.

C.Necessary but not welcome.

D.Useful but not nutritious.

4.Why does the author steal his kid's food?

A.To store more protein,

B.To treat his illness.

Some people worry about being the target of laughter. These people are frightened. They suffer from an emotional disorder called gelotophobia. That long name comes from the Greek language. The word Gelos means laugh, while phobos means fear.

Victor Rubio is an expert on human behavior at the Autonomous University of Madrid. He says people laugh at others for many different reasons. He says being laughed at causes a fear response in the victim. That fear leads the victim to avoid social situations. Sadly, gelotophobia limits the way they lead their lives.

Victor Rubio was among researchers in a huge international study about laughter. The researchers wanted to understand the difference between normal shyness and true gelotophobia. Another goal was to measure the fear of being laughed at within different cultures.

A team from the University of Zurich led ninety-three researchers from many countries in search of answers.

The researchers surveyed more than twenty-two thousand people. They used questions provided in forty-two languages. Their findings were reported in the scientific publication Humor.

Some of the people questioned said they felt unsure of themselves in social situations. But they hid their feelings. Others said they avoided social situations where they had been laughed at before. People also admitted to differing levels of fear that they themselves were the targets of other people’s laughter. The researchers measured and compared all these reactions.

Fear of being laughed at, being made fun of, is a common emotion. But the researchers learned that these feelings differed from nation to nation.

For example, the study found that people in Turkmenistan and Cambodia are likely to hide insecure (不安) feelings when they are around others’ laughter. But people in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan who feel they have been victims before may avoid such situations.

People in Finland were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Only eight and a half percent of Finns said they would – compared to eighty percent of those questioned in Thailand.

1.The passage is mainly about______________.

A. a common emotion B. laughter   shyness    D. gelotophobia

2.In which country are people most likely to avoid social situations where they have been laughed at before?

A. Turkmenistan     B. Iraq        Finland       D. Thailand

3.According to the text the following is true EXCEPT that ________.

A. people suffer from gelotophobia because they are shy

B. not all the people questioned hid their feelings in social situations

 perhaps Humor is a magazine

D. people in Finland are the least likely to suffer from gelotophobia

4.A person who suffers from gelotophobia will probably ______.

A. be active in social activities           B. be easily laughed at

 like to laugh at others             D. like to stay alone

Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lip­readers too. It happens during the stage when a baby's babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada”. The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.

Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality face­time with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.

But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy Hansen­Tift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4,6,8,10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4­month­olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6­month­olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8­and 10­month­olds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker's eyes.

But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12­month­olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语) that shows babies' brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.

The continued lip­reading shows the 1­year­olds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study that this is “a fairly heroic data set”， says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.

1.According to the first paragraph, babies________.

A．might get its voice “mama” by lip­reading

B．learn to talk just from hearing the sounds

C．like to figure out how to shape their lips

D．communicate with parents through gestures

2.What is necessary in developing babies' speech according to Lewkowicz?

A．Playing baby DVD nearby.

B．Teaching babies to read English.

C．Speaking with babies face to face.

D．Speaking different languages in front of babies.

3.Which of the following shows the right change of babies' eye gaze according to the text?

4.What would be the best title of the text?

A．Babies Have Different Methods to Talk

B．Babies Try Lip­reading in Learning to Talk

C．Babies Are Suitable to Learn Two Languages

D．Babies Can Easily Accept Foreign Language
