mid-September evening at a historical Church in Harlem,New York City.Mostly the low-income black neighborhood sat at dining tables.In front of them was a menu listing three courses,which they only saw on TV.Each dish was prepared with“leftover”ingredients（食材）,offered free of charge and placed alongside a blue card that read you are loved”in hand-written script.This-is-one of 14 community centers created around the world in cities like Milan,Paris,Mrida,Lima,Sydney and now New York through three-Michelin starred chef Massimo Botturas Food for Soul project.He started the project in 2016 with his wife,Lara Gilmore,to help fight the global problem of food waste-by using ingredients that might otherwise be thrown away by suppliers-and to give socially and economically vulnerable people access to high quality meals.Partnering with architects,artists and community leaders,the project is transforming spaces,which are not fully taken advantage of,such as churches and even a historical home into intentionally designed cultural centers equipped with kitchens,dining rooms and other facilities that help create a sense of well-being,connection and inclusion.When I asked Bottura why he created such thoughtful.meals within beautifully appointed spaces for the low-income,he told me that everyone deserves respect and beauty-and of course,healthy food.“They come in and are completely lost because theyre not used to coming into beautiful places,like this.But once theyre here,they realize that this place is their place.Its not my place,”he said.Botturas philosophy is one that comes from the heart.T-shirts worm by volunteers at his community centers say“cooking is an act of love”,and he approaches the food served there with as much care as he does at his restaurants “probably even more”,he said since the diners are extremely stressed and need healthy food to feel better.Bottura insists that its important to change the language around the food served in his community centers.24.Why does the author describe such a scene in the first paragraph?A.To introduce Botturas project.B.To show the appeal of the dishes.C.To emphasize the warm atmosphere.D.To explain how the event is organized.25.What does the underlined word“vulnerable”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Privileged.B.Independent.C.Conservative.D.Disadvantaged.26.Which of the following best describes Massimo Bottura?A.Skilled and strict.B.Caring and considerate.C.Wealthy and humorous.D.Economical and influential.27.What fundamental philosophy.does Massimo Bottura express?A.Respect and beauty are for all.B.Beautiful places inspire respect.C.Cooking should be a profession.D.Community centers bring people together.CIn the late 1990s,two psychology researchers,were talking about how the female scientists in their lab responded differently to stress than the men did.The men would disappear into their offices;the women would bring cookies to lab meetings and bond over coffee.Forget fight-or-flight,they joked.The women were tending and befriending.The joke stuck in the mind of one of the women,researcher Laura Cousino Klein.Psychology research has suggested that stress leads to aggression,but that wasnt her experience.Women were more likely to want to talk with someone about their stress,spend time with their loved ones,or channel their stress into caring for others.She wondered if it was possible that science had gotten stress wrong.Klein dug deeper into the science,and she made the surprising discovery that 90 percent of the published research on stress was conducted on males.So Klein studied the social side of stress,especially in women.Looking at both animal and human research,she found evidence that stress can increase caring,cooperation,and compassion（同情）.While the tend-and-befriend theory began as an investigation into the female response to stress,it quickly expanded to include men.In times of stress,both men and women have been shown to become more trusting,generous,and willing to protect others.The tend-and-befriend theory doesnt say that stress always leads to caringstress can indeed make us angry and defensive.It simply says that stress can make people more caring.And when we care for others,it activates systems of our brain that produce feelings of hope and courage.I wrote my book The Upside of Stress with that purpose in mind:to help you discover your own strength and compassion.Seeing the upside of stress is not about deciding whether stress is either good or bad.Its about how choosing to see the good in stress can help you meet the challenges in your life.Tending and befriending is one of the best ways to do this,and to transform your own stress into a catalyst（催化剂）for courage and connection.28.What does the joke in paragraph I show?A.Male scientists are smarter than female scientists.B.Female scientists are friendlier than male scientists.C.Men tend to seek a temporary escape from pressure.D.Women care for each other when they are under stress.29.Why did Laura keep the joke in her mind?A.It didnt fit with her life experience.B.It had the same topic as her new book.C.It went against previous psychology research.D.It indicated the inequalities between women and men.30.What do we know about the tend-and-befriend theory?A.It is applicable to both men and women.B.It suggests stress always leads to caring.C.It proves the fight-or-flight response wrong.D.It shows men are more defensive than women.31.What does the authors book aim to do?A.Provide evidence for her research.B.Explain the fight-or-flight response.C.Make suggestions on how to respond to stress positively.D.Demonstrate womens and mens different responses to stress.DIt was long theorized that people make decisions based on integrated global calculations that occur within the frontal cortex（额叶皮层）of the brain,which is considered the seat of higher-order thinking.However,Yale researchers have found that three distinct brain circuits from the frontal cortex connecting to different brain regions are involved in making good decisions,bad ones,and determining which of those past choices to store in memory.The study of decision-making in rats may help scientists find the roots of flawed decision-making common to mental health disorders such as addiction,the authors say.They used-a new tool to manipulate（操纵）brain circuits in rats while they were making choices between actions that led to them receiving rewards or no rewards.If the rats made the right decision,one that ended in a reward,one of the brain circuits was activated,but another was activated if the rats made the wrong choice and received no reward.The third circuit stored past experiences and decisions to help the rats with future choices.Stephanie Groman,lead author of the research says,“A comparison would be deciding on a restaurant for dinner.For instance,without the good choice circuit you may not return to the restaurant with good food and without the bad choice circuit you might not avoid the restaurant with bad food.The third memory circuit is crucial in making decisions such as whether to return to the restaurant after receiving one bad meal after several good ones.”Changes in these circuits may help explain a typical feature of addictionwhy people continue to make harmful choices even after repeated negative experiences.The Yale researchers previously showed that some of the same brain calculations were disrupted（扰乱）in animals that had taken methamphetamine.“Because we used a test that is similar to those used in studies of human decision making,our findings have direct relevance to humans and could aid in the search for novel treatments for substance abuse in humans,”Groman said.32.How was Yales research different from the previous theory?A.It defined the function of different brain regions.B.It identified specific circuits involved in decision-making.C.It focused on the connection between choices and memories.D.It highlighted the role of the frontal cortex in higher-order thinking.33.What can be inferred from Stephanie Gromans words?A.Memories are related to all the three circuits.B.People base their decisions on personal preferences.C.The three circuits are all of vital importance in making decisions.D.The circuit related to rewards is the foundation of deciding wisely.34.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A.The limitations of the present study.B.A description of the research method.C.A possible reason for the study findings.D.The potential application of the conclusion.35.What might be the best title for the text?A.How people get addicted and curedB.How making decisions influences our brain C.How our brain develops when facing choicesD.How the brain helps us make good decisions and bad ones第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2.5 分分,满分满分 12.5 分）分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Get Better at Saying NoWhen rejecting a request,“no”is a short,simple word that can cause anxiety for the person trying to say it.The following strategies can help you get better at saying no.Be intentional about what you communicate.36 Sure,but as psychologist Vanessa Bohns points out,only saying a“no”is often pretty uncomfortable for the asker.Instead,she advises communicating three things:“Its not because of me,its not because of you,and its not because of us.”One way to do that is by thanking people for thinking of you.37 Then,follow up with a short explanation:“I wish I could,but I just dont have the time right now.”That helps make it clear that your“no”isnt a poor reflection of your own character;its not the other person;and its not a disapproval
