our mind.Some foods really do lead to a change in our moods (心情)Carbohydrate (碳水化合物) for calmThis is how some people medicate themselves with foodby reaching for cookies or pasta (意大利面食) whenever theyre upset.Unfortunately，it doesnt always work.You must eat a meal consisting of 100% carbohydrate，on an empty stomach，to obtain the serotonin (血清素) increase so that you have a good mood.To get the wishedfor effect，you must not eat anything for four hours and then eat at least 30 grams of straight carbohydrate.Dry cereal (谷类食品)，a piece of bread with jam，or a potato should do_the_trick.Protein (蛋白质) for powerOf course，sometimes we dont need to be calm and sleepy.Sometimes we need a great deal of mental concentration，so this is when its important to mix protein and carbohydrate.The protein will prevent the tryptophan (色氨酸) from flooding your brain，and the rise in serotonin wont occur.Why dessert makes us happyFat and sugar cause the brain to let go endorphins (内啡肽)，which send pleasure signals throughout the body.This would be fine，except humans are not particularly good at stopping at one cookie or cake.You can also satisfy your sweet tooth by choosing fruit for dessert.Timing your meals for energyBlood sugar drops after four hours of going without food，causing a decrease in energy.Eating usually fixes this within 20 to 30 minutes，but dont suppose that eating more will cause a faster increase in energy.When you eat has as much of an effect on your mood as what you eat.If you regularly go for a long period of time between meals，rethink your schedule and plan ahead.1.The underlined phrase in the third paragraph means_Abe extremely smartBintend to cheat someoneCbring about the desired resultDdo something to amuse people解析：选C。猜测词义题。此处与本段开头部分的“To get the wishedfor effect”相呼应，由此可推断其意思是“达到预期效果”。2.The function of protein is_Ato help you keep calm and sleepyBto make you feel energeticCto lead you to slownessDto increase serotonin in your brain解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二个标题中的内容可知蛋白质的功能是让你精力充沛。3.We can infer from the last two parts that_Afat and sugar can greatly help people feel happyBwe humans tend to eat lots of cookies and cakesCthe more we
