　　第一篇 Famous American Foods

　　What, besides children, connects mothers around the world and across the seas of time? It’s chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.

　　From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (贊美)its virtues.

　　Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧)in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.

　　But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chicken’s real or imagined curative (治愈的)powers comes from its color.

　　Her new book, “The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup”, looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, “There has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak-woman and the ill”.

　　In addition, “soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon ” are considered “comfort foods” Sheraton said. “I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder, ” Sheraton said from her New York home.

　　Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.

　　The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat.

　　第二篇 15 Million Americans Suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder

　　Social anxiety disorder prevents some 15 million Americans from leading normal social and romantic lives, a new survey finds.

　　The disorder leaves many isolated, ashamed and often misdiagnosed. Thirty-six percent of those with social anxiety disorder have symptoms for 10 years or more before seeking help, the Anxiety Disorders Association of America reports.

　　"Social anxiety disorder is when somebody has an intense, persistent and irrational fear of social or performance situations," Jerilyn Ross, the association's president and CEO, said during a teleconference Wednesday.

　　"The condition causes people to avoid common, everyday situations and even other people for fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing themselves," Ross said.

　　Social anxiety disorder can interfere with daily routines and job performance, Ross noted. "It also makes it very difficult for people to develop friends and romantic partnerships," she said.

　　People with this disorder recognize their fear is excessive and irrational, Ross noted. "But they feel powerless to do anything about it," she said.

　　Social anxiety disorder can start in the early teens, Dr. Mark H. Pollack, director of the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said during the teleconference.

　　"This is a disorder that starts affecting people early on," Pollack said. "The typical age of onset is early adolescence, age 12 or 13, and many individuals report a history of anxiety dating back to earlier childhood."

　　The disorder also has physical symptoms, including heart palpitations, feelings that their throat will close up, sweating, blushing, faintness, trembling and stammering, Ross said.

　　Among people with the disorder, 75 percent said the condition affected their ability to do normal activities. In addition, 69 percent said they didn't want people to think they were crazy, and 58 percent said they were embarrassed by their condition, Ross said.

　　However, when the condition is diagnosed and treated, many reported improvement in their lives. In fact, 59 percent who were receiving treatment said treatment had a positive effect on their ability to have a romantic relationship. In addition, 39 percent who had received treatment said knowing that treatment can be successful aided their decision to get help, Ross noted.

　　36. People with social anxiety disorder are known for their fear of

　　A being left alone.

　　D facing social or performance situations.

　　37. What do people with social anxiety disorder think of their fear?

　　A They think it's beyond their control.

　　B They think it's beneficial.

　　C They think it's controllable.

　　D They think it's justified.

　　38. Which is NOT true of people with social anxiety disorder?

　　A They're often isolated and ashamed.

　　B They find it difficult to make friends.

　　C They often fail to get timely treatment.

　　D They tend to judge or criticize other people:

　　39. The symptoms of social anxiety disorder include all the following EXCEPT

　　A heart palpitations.

　　B sore throat.

　　C sweating.

　　D blushing.

　　40. It can be seen from the last paragraph that treatment of the disorder

　　A has no positive effect at all.
