     Food is life; it gives us the nourishment (营养) we need to stay alive and be healthy. Usually, we eat
because we are hungry or need energy. Brian Wansink, a professor (教授) at the University of Illinois, says
we also eat certain (某种) foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink
calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of
noodles makes them feel good.
     How does a food became comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important
times, feelings, and people in our lives, 'When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it.
Now, I often eat this soup when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better,' says one of Wansink's
friends.
     Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink's research (研究) at the University of
Illinois says 'yes'. In his study, the favorite comfort for both men and women was ice cream. After this,
men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things such as chocolate
and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods
more when they are sad or worried.

A. fast food
B. healthy food
C. Chinese food
D. comfort food
2. In Wansink's study, both men and women like to eat ________.

B. women usually eat comfort foods only when they are happy

       Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water
into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
        In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of
heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea
water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
        But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is
freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes (冷至结冰) first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. 
        Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way
for each place.
        Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn't make very much water at a time. But the
factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi!
