3．My best friend Eva and I are different in many ways，but we have one important thing in common-we love to travel．Whenever I want to visit a new place，I can always invite her with me．（36）G
（37）A  Eva is an artist who loves to take photographs and draw pictures of the interesting things she sees．I am a sales manager and spend most of my time calculating numbers．Eva is a very impulsive（沖動(dòng)的） person，but I'm very organized．She's very quiet，but I'm a very talkative person．
Eva and I both love traveling．（38）D  One day we were talking about vacations and we found we had both visited many of the same places．We immediately made a plan to go to a nearby historical city the following weekend．
Although we are quite different in many ways，Eva and I have become close over the years．（39）BEvery time we get together，we always have so much to talk about and have the best time．（40）F The other reason is that our differences complement （補(bǔ)充） each other，so we always get along well whenever we travel together．

13．While there are many different approaches for dealing with stress，arming your body with mood-improving food is one of the most basic places to start．Try adding the following foods to your diet 一 and step 
away from the bread and cake．
1．Eggs
     Rich in protein，eggs also provide calcium，iron，zinc，selenium，phosphorous，and vitamins A，D，E，and K，making them one of the most nutritional foods around．Drew Ramsey，author of The Happiness Diet，praises nutrient-rich foods for battling stress and notes that eggs are part of his favorite anxiety-reducing breakfast．
2．Fish
     Eating fish can have many benefits，including combating stress．Fish （like sardines，salmon and tuna） is rich in omega-3 fatty acids．Studies show omega-3 fatty acids help protect neurons （神經(jīng)元）from harm．Omega-3 fatty acids have also been linked to helping with depression as well as encouraging more positive social behavior in children．
3．Red peppers，papaya and kiwi
They have more vitamin C per serving than oranges．Multiple studies point to vitamin C for curbing （控制）stress hormones （荷爾蒙）．As Psychology Today reports，"People who have high levels of vitamin C do not show the expected mental and physical signs of stress when subjected to acute psychological 
challenges．What's more，they bounce back（彈回）from stressful situations faster than people with low
 levels of vitamin C in their blood．"
4．Tea
     Drinking black tea may help you recover from stressful events more quickly，notes WebMD．One 
study looked at people who consumed four cups of tea daily for six weeks，and compared with people 
who drank something else．At the end of the study，the tea drinkers reported feeling calmer and had 
lower levels of the stress hormone after stressful situations．
5．Dark chocolate
     Cocoa in chocolate can help improve the mood and support clear thinking．Studies also show dark chocolate can help people feel good and decrease stress．Not to mention，it might make you smarter．Is it 
just a coincidence that the higher a country's chocolate consumption，the more Nobel winners it creates？More chocolate，please．

36．To reduce stress，one is supposed to eatA．
A．less bread   B．more cake   C．fewer sardines? D．less kiwi
37．We can know that the salmon is a kind ofD．
A．tea   B．fruit   C．vitamin   D．fish
38．What do red peppers，papaya and kiwi have in common？C
A．They contain plenty of omega-3 fatty acids．
B．They can help reduce expected mental and physical signs of challenges．
C．They are richer in vitamin C than oranges．
D．They can bounce back quickly when they fall to the ground．
39．What do you know about the stress hormone？D
A．The stress hormone can protect neurons from any harm．
B．The stress hormone can raise a person's blood pressure．
C．The stress hormone can make people feel calmer．
D．The stress hormone can result in high stress level．
40．Which of the following is the best title？A
A．Eat Well and Stay Away from Stress
B．Some Foods Improving Your Mood
C．Some Snacks Combating Your Stress
D．Different  Approaches for Dealing with Stress．
