15、t up after watching food commercials on television, compared to nonfood commercials, a small study finds.The researchers studied 23 children aged 8 to 14 who gave taste and health ratings for 60 food items. Afterwards, kids chose whether to “eat” or “not eat” each food item without actually eating t

16、hem while undergoing brain scans. The scans measure changes in blood flow within the brain, which is thought to reflect the activity of brain cells.While the kids were making their decisions, they were periodically shown TV commercials, some for fast food outlets and some for nonfood businesses. Eac

17、h set of commercials was followed by a set of 10 food choices.In general, kids did not choose foods based on their health ratings and chose based on taste. But after watching a food commercial, taste seemed even more important to them and they made their choices faster. The area of the brain involve

18、d in reward valuation was more active during food decisions after watching food-related commercials than after nonfood commercials.“What we know from studies like this one is that food marketing has effects that go beyond simply increasing our liking or wanting of the product being advertised and ac

19、tually affect our preferences for all foods in that category，” said Emma Boyland of the University of Liverpool.“Parents should be aware of these results so that they can put limits on screen time that involves food advertising，” Bruce said. “They should also discuss with children the importance of

20、thinking about commercials properly.” “But commercials are almost everywhere - television, online, radio, clothing. As adults, we have to work to teach children that a real healthy diet to support a full and active life contains very little of the food they see advertised，”Boyland said.8What were th

One long-held theory has been that peop

25、le become socially isolated（孤立的）because of their poor social skills. But a new research suggests that this is a complete misunderstanding of the socially isolated. Lonely people do understand social skills, and often outperform the non-lonely when asked to prove that understanding. Its just that whe

26、n theyre in situations where they need those skills the most, they choke.Franklin & Marshall College professor Megan L. Knowles led four experiments that prove lonely peoples tendency to choke when under social pressure. In one, Knowles and her team tested the social skills of 86 undergraduates. She

27、 told some of the students that she was testing their social skills, and that people who failed at this task tended to have difficulty forming and maintaining friendships. But she set the test differently for the rest of them, describing it as a kind of exercise.Before they started any of that, thou

28、gh, all the students completed surveys that measured how lonely they were. In the end, the lonelier students did worse than the non-lonely students on the task. But when the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge exercise, they performed better than the non-lonely.Previous resear

29、ches agree with these new results: Past studies have suggested, for example, that the lonelier people are, the more accurately they do in the test. As the theory goes, lonely people may be paying closer attention to the test, which results in technically superior social skills.This current research

30、presents a fairly new way to think about lonely people. Its not that they need to brush up on the basics of social skills. Instead, lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads, so they can actually use the skills theyve got to form friendships and begin to find a way out o

31、f their isolation.12. According to the new research, what is it that causes some people to stay lonely? A. They lack social skills.B. They dont like the society. C. They prefer the lonely lifestyle.D. They fail to use social skills properly.13. How was Megan L. Knowles experiment conducted? A. By qu

32、estioning.B. By comparing.C. By investing. D. By measuring.14. According to the experiment, when did the lonely perform better than the non-lonely? A. When theyre nervous.B. When theyre stressed.C. When theyre careful.D. When theyre relaxed.15. What can be the best title for the text? A. When lonely

33、 people choke?B. How can you avoid loneliness? C. Why lonely people stay lonely?D. Why lonely people lack social skills?第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Choosing a US College can be a stressful process, but planning ahead of time and doing your research makes things much
