Many experts（专家） use it to tell people its important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.When we say some people sweet, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about peoples feelings and acts. said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someones character and behavior depending on their taste.In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character- whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips werent. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.The result of the experiments is that peoples helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.（1）The underlined word it in the sentence Many experts use it to tell people its important to have a good eating habit. refers to_.A . the sweet foodB . the English sayingC . the American teamD . the eating habit（2）According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people_.A . overweightB . excitedC . relaxedD . friendly（3）The scientists found that the people who preferred_ were less helpful.A . chipsB . chocolateC . ice-creamD . cookies（4）It can be learnt from the passage that_.A . scientists asked college students questions about their futureB . scientists told college students not to eat sweet foodC . people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help othersD . peoples character has nothing to do with their taste13. （5分）阅读理解Perhaps your childhood piano lessons made you never want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to afford. Now, thanks to a program in Sydney called “Play me, Im yours”, people are able to play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music, and the program also helps them communicate with each other.Thirty pianos have been placed in different parts of the city, such as in several parks, at a bus stop and on some streets. The pianos have the logo “Play me, Im yours” on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos, no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the program and stopped to watch or play the pianos.“Play me, Im yours” is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist, Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours, and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So the purpose of the project is to help them relax and make new friends.The program “Play me, Im yours” has also reached England and Brazil (巴西) before. It was warmly welcomed there.
