In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live , with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can ' tfind blue food —I can ' t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon;orange is orange and red is che rry. Where is the blue food? ”Well, Carli n pretty much has it right —there is not no blue food, butthere ' s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh -picked blueberries are blue, thoughthey become purple whe n they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries —like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes —is found in n ature. But itisn ' t a hot color for food. People don ' t seem to prefer blue food. Some dietprograms eve n suggest that those determ ined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eati ng, in part, begi ns with our eyes. Chares Spence ——an experime ntal psychologist from Oxford Un iversity —poi nts out that color can cha nge ourtaste experie nee. Commonly, we con sider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and gree n foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: huma n expectati ons may be in flue need by our long history of watchi ng —gree n fruits can become sweet as they grow up and tur n red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see thesedays is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial colordoes n' t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes —while other studies show no effectsat all. Blue birthday cake or eve n blue-dyed chicke n can be served on the dinner table. So what?I.

I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of alarge Victorian farmhouse. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe(食谱) with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.4.

What could be the best title for this passage?A. The Key to SuccessB. A Fortune Built from a CoinC. Blueberry Jam RecipeD. A Relationship of TrustCBullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in adolescence(青春期), the researchers say. people subjected to either verbal or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students about their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence- before high school- and in late adolescence- at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, judging by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain challenges, such as humiliation.People who were bullied all showed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (煽动), people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence: females are more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to drinking to escape bad situations. The best solution in all cases was strong social support, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.8. What determines the degree of bullying’s effect on people according to the study?A. The reason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The person who first bullies them.D. The age at which they are first bullied.9. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman and his colleagues?A. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.B. Some are likely to be more aggressive.C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.10. The sex differences between people bullied for the firsttime during adolescence are reflected in _______.A. the support they get from the societyB. the effect bullying has on themC. the way they react to provocationD. the type of bullying they receive第二节阅读补全 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。
