As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesnt. Here is another situation. Perhaps you a
9、re not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this w
10、ay. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomachhunger. W”hen our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone ( 荷 尔 蒙 ) sends amessage to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such
11、as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward.These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. B
12、ecause of this, somescientists call food cravings “mind hunger. ” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar.5 Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University fo
13、und that “ dietingor restricted eatinggenerally increases the possibility of food craving. ” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no foodat all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So,
14、 the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.4.

17、od of history.What was it that was reborn during the Renaissance?To answer this question, we need to look back at the time of the Roman Empire. At this timeRoman artist, scientists and writers influenced by Greek ideas were the world s most advanc had become skilled observers of the natural world ar
18、ound them, and had become experts in studyinganimals, plants, the human body or the stars and planets. They wrote down their ideas about what they saw, and based their theories about the world on their observations.During the fourth and fifth centuries the Roman Empire slowly broke down. Many of the
19、7 Roman sart and sculptures were destroyed and some manuscripts were lost as well. But most importantly, some of the ancient attitudes were lost. A questioning approach to the world was replaced by an unquestioning one.Why did this happen? One reason was to do with the influence of Christian Church.
20、 Through the thousand years following the fall of the Roman Empire, the Church controlled many aspects of life including education and learning. The Church ran all the universities and thought that the aim of a university should be to teach old ideas more clearly, not to introduce new ones. The scho
21、lars in the universities were expected to study God and heaven from the Bible and ancient books, rather than the world around them.Take medicine, for example. The main textbook for doctors had been written by Greek doctor called Galen more than a thousand years earlier. But when Roger Bacon, a thirt
22、een-century priest,said that a new approach to medicine was needed, doctors should do their own original researchinstead of reading writers from the past such as Galen, the Church put him into prison.By the time of the fourteenth century, however, some parts of Christian Church were becoming less st
23、rict about their ideas and there was a new state of mind among artists, doctors and scientists. People wanted to find out more about the world by studying it. This attitude of investigation had been common in classical scholars, and it was “reborn ” during the Renaissance.8. We know from the text th

Roger Bacon was put in prison because he .A. give up being a priest B. challenged the ChurchC. did some research secretly D. showed no respect for Galen11. The text probably comes from a book about .A. medicine B. h
26、istory C. religion D. educationDNASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly. But it will be more famous for9 making your next holiday come more quickly.The space agency is working on a new plane, which could solve the problems of supersonic( 超音 速 的 ) flight and vastly increase the s
27、peed of journeys abroad. If successful, the plane would beable to fly between New York and London in just three hours. And it would reduce the time spent flying other journeys by a half, since it could be used more broadly. Until now, the problem withsuch planes has been the sonic boom, made famous
28、by the original Concorde （协和客机） . That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds.It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground disturbing animals and even causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath. It was that effect that led Congress to bansuch planes from being
29、used over the US land, a decision that in turn was responsible for Concordes failing to be commercially used.In view of the problem, the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out inwind tunnels, and now believes that it could be put to commercial use. That plane will fly as high a
30、s 55,000 feet far higher than normal planes and make a sound of only 60 decibels. Thats far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes, and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant.“ Aslong as we can get endorsement from the general public, the plane will probably be
31、 something thats acceptable, ” said Peter Coen, project manager for NASAs commercial supersonic research team, in a new Bloomberg report. “If we get approved, we will ha-sviezetdhevefurllionof the plane tried out and the plane will be put into use. ” 12. Why does the author mention Concorde?A. To su
32、ggest the rapid development of planes in the USA.B. To make us know the negative effect of the sonic booms better.C. To introduce how a commercial plane is designed.10 D. To show us that Concorde finally failed to be commercially used.13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the new plane. B. The working principle of the new plane.C. The problems of the new plane. D. The potential market of the new plane.14. What does the underlined word “endorsement ” in paragraph 5 mean?A. response B. commitment C. investment D. agreement
