Mothers have known it for years. Give the children a hamburger, and they will love it; spend hours making a home-cooked meal, and they will leave it on the plate. Now French scientists have discovered why. According to researchers near Paris, the brain does not respond well to
unfamiliar tastes. Sensations are not as strong when the mind is struggling to understand messages that come from the tongue. This provides little reason to taste new things.
Human beings are naturally like rats – we are afraid of anything new. If you give rats some food that they have never had before, they will turn their backs on it out of fear. We are the same. It is possible to introduce new foods, but only in the right psychological context, like a birthday. Once the introduction has been made, the fact of having a full stomach
is physically pleasing, so the next time it is easier. However, some foods are more tempting than others. Scientists are sure that we are born with a sweet tooth. This is why children have a natural desire for sugar. Another discovery is how a sense of smell affects our appetite. In one experiment, chemical substances were put on the tongues of human participants. At the same time, air was blown down the participants’noses so they could not smell the chemical substances. As a result, no two people got the same sensation from the same food. Physical,
psychological, and cultural differences shaped the response.
The intensity of feelings about food depends upon knowledge of it. The average student who eats a new dish will have only a cloudy image of it, but for some people whose tongues are trained to appreciate fine differences, they’ll have an exciting experience, much like someone who has a great musical ear. This is why someone who eats hamburgers everyday likes them and becomes a hamburger expert. They can tell the difference between a Big Mac and a Burger King, just like the Japanese can tell the difference between varieties of rice that taste the same to Europeans.
51)Why do children prefer a hamburger to a home-cooked meal?
A . The person doesn’t get the instruction from the brain.
B . The brain doesn’t respond well to unfamiliar tastes.
C . The food made at home is not tasty.
D . Children prefer food that is easy to make.
52)On what occasion are people willing to try new food?
A . When they are happy.
B . When they are hungry.
C . When they have already eaten.
D . When they eat with friends.
53)What causes people to like certain foods but not others?
A . The fact whether they have a sweet tooth.
B . The way how the food is cooked.
C . The differences in people who eat food.
D . The color people see of the food.
54)Why can some people appreciate the fine differences in food?
A . They like to try different kinds of food.
B . They have an ear of music.
C . They don’t eat a lot of food.
D . They know a lot about food.
55)What is an appropriate title for the passage?
A . Why People Don’t Like Unfamiliar Food
B . The Brain That Plays a Role in Our Eating Habit
C . The Factors That Affect People’s Eating Habit
D . The Reasons Why People Can Tell Differences in Food

Another thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are.
Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite sized cookies are packed in plastic.
There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from travelling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn’t pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man’s eyes or into the spaceship’s instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.
As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn’t supposed to be touched until later.
Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space? 查看材料
A.Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor
B.Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around
C.Because they haven’t enough food for longer trips
D.Because astronauts don’t want to waste food

Your Bean Steak (素肉排), Sir!
What sort of food are we likely to be eating in the year 2000?
Most people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: " There won't be any left, " or "Whatever it is, there won't be much taste in it." Of course, there are good reasons for being worried about the world's food supplies in the future.Nevertheless, not all the experts share these worries.
For one thing, although the world's population is rising fast, food production is keeping pace with it, even in developing countries.It is therefore argued that the main reason why people are hungry is not that there is a world food shortage but that methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and the food is not fairly distributed (分配 ).
This does not mean, however, that our diet (饮食 ) will go on being the same.In many industrialized countries, people feed animals with grain to produce high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human population, and use fishmeal to fatten pigs to improve the quality of bacon.While not many of us would like fishmeal for lunch, its nutritional value is high and the unattractive fish it is made from can be presented to the public in colorful packets of fish fingers.
By the year 2000, many of these problems will have been solved.Scientists are already capable of making steaks from soy beans.It is quite obvious that there will still be enough to eat, if we are not too particular about where the food comes from and what it is made of.
1.Most people believe that food supplies in the future().
A、will become a very serious problem
B、will be the same as they are today
C、will be enough in quantity but not good in quality

2.The reason why people are hungry in today's world is().
A、poor farming methods and bad distribution
B、slow growth of food production
C、food shortages all across the world
D、fast rising population
3.The word "bacon" in Line 5, Para.3 most probably is().
A、a kind of "meat" made from grain
B、meat made from fish
C、food for fish
D、meat made from pigs
4.The word "particular" in Line 4, Para.4 means().
A、special
B、choosy
C、detailed
D、very exact
5.The title of this passage suggests that().
