9.Toast (土司),perfume and washing powder are the smells most likely to hit you when you walk through the door of your home,according to a new study.
Researchers have identified(确认) the whiffs which they claim make a house a home,with washing powder making up 34percent.Freshly made toast accounts for another 22percent,while perfume makes up 17percent.Other smells which will typically hit you as you step through front doors around Britain include last night's dinner (10percent),flowers (12percent),coffee (5percent) and pets.
Seven percent of Britons-around 1.5million-claim that a unique smell is what makes their house a home,above the furniture or decoration.Half admit the smell of home makes them feel safe and warm,while it leaves one in 10feeling worried or upset.A third of people have tried to recreate a certain smell to make them feel more at home.A further third have put off buying a property because of how it smells and three quarters believe you can find out a great deal about a person from the smell of their home.Four in 10people have avoided visiting someone because of the smell of their home.
The study also found that one in five people love the smell of their home so much they want to bottle it and take it with them.Three in 10wish they could have smells of their own home while on holiday.A further two in 5would like to smell their living room while out shopping as the smell of home makes a third feel relaxed and stress-free.
Professor Tim Jacob,an expert in the psychology of smell,said,"Smells make a house a home because of the positive associations being‘home'has.Your home is filled with the things you love-your children,partner,perfume,pets-so when you smell them,you instantly feel better and at ease.
People respond(反应) well to familiar smells.Those which are alien(陌生的) make us feel on edge until we've identified the source and assessed that it's not harmful.

解答 28-31 ADAC
28.答案A.细节理解题.根据文章第一段的句子"Toast(土司),perfume and washing powder are the smells most likely to hit you when you walk through the door of your home,according to a new study."和第二段中"Other smells which will typically hit you as you step through front doors around Britain include last night's dinner (10 percent),flowers (12 percent),coffee (5 percent) and pets."可知,吐司、香味、咖啡都是家里味道的一部分,没有提到partner是组成家的味道,故选A.

31.答案C.细节理解题.根据文章第二段的句子"Researchers have identified(确认) the whiffs which they claim make a house a home,with washing powder making up 34 percent.Freshly made toast accounts for another 22 percent,while perfume makes up 17 percent."可知新鲜出炉的土司不是构成家的味道最多的比例,故选C项.
