His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handed frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show bee very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network. Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Liebermans charisma is key.“Food TV isnt about food anymore,” says Flay. “Its about your personality and finding a way to keep peoples eyeballs on your show.” But Lieberman isnt putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline pany was looking for someone to e up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.21. We can learn from the text that Liebermans family _. A. love cooking at home B. have relatives in Europe C. often hold parties D. own a restaurant22. The Food Network got to know Lieberman _. A. at one of his parties B. from his teachers C. on a television program D. through his taped show23. What does the underlined word “charisma” in the text refer to?A. A way to show ones achievement. B. A natural ability to attract others. C. Liebermans after-class interest. D. Liebermans fine cooking skill.24. Why did the airline pany give Lieberman the job?A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.C. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals.D. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches. BWomen are friendly. But men are more petitive. Why? Researchers have found its all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.“ Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be petitive. They are trying to improve their social status,” said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize petitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.Professor Ryans recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from petition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, mens ability to correctly recognize petitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded: “ Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise peoples abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors that are mainly hormonal.”25. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text? A. Oxytocin. B. Placebo. C. The gesture. D. The social status.26. What can we learn from Professor Ryans previous experiment?A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand peoples behavior differences.D. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about otherssuccess.27. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment? A. To know the differences between friendship and petition.B. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.C. To know the differences between friendship and petition.D. To know peoples different abilities to answer questions.28. The author develops the text by _.A. explaining peoples behaviorsB. describing his own experiencesC. discussing research experiments D. distinguishing sexual differences CIf doctors want to test you for something, theyll usually take a blood or urine sample (尿样). But wouldnt it be much more convenient if they just asked you to breathe through a special instrument?In fact, your breath can say a lot about you. In traditional Chinese medicine, doctors draw a conclusion about the health state of a patient based on the smell of his or her breath; trained dogs and rats can identify the smells of the breaths of people suffering from certain cancers; traffic police also monitor drivers alcohol consumption by testing their breaths.Just like blood and urine, your breath contains lots of “ metabolites ” - the waste chemicals that the body produces, which vary from person to person. They are like personal health fingerprints, which is why scientists sometimes call them “ breath prints”, according to Science Daily.pared to blood or urine testing, breath testing takes only seconds instead of hours, and it requires neither a needle nor a container to hold the body fluids (体液). This means the test can be taken frequently to better detect early signs of diseases and monitor the progress of a medical treatment.On the other hand, as an identifier, you might think that breaths are not as reliable as fingerprints since they might change based on what you eat. However, researchers in Zurich, Switzerland mapped 11 healthy volunteers chemical patterns by having them breathe through a special instrument, and they found that each pattern was unique and the patterns didnt change much throughout the day, reported BBC.“Our goal is to develop breath analysis to the point where it bees petitive with the established analysis of blood and urine,” said Malcolm Kohler, professor at the University Hospital Zurich.29. According to the text we know that _. A. breath varies from person to person based on food B. your breath may give you away if you are not careful C. doctors can test ones breath to find about his illness D. dogs can identify people with certain cancers30. In parison with blood or urine testing, breath testing is _. A. fortable and convincing B. traditional and reliable C. accurate and petitive D. quick and convenient31. What is the authors attitude toward breath testing? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried.32. What can we infer from the text? A. Breath testing is reliable and may have a bright future. B. Blood or urine testing will be less used in medical treatment. C. Doctors have found the best way to detect early signs of diseases. D. Traditional Chinese medicine is being more and more popular.
