10、.Arecent research has shown that women tend to eat more plant-based foods and less animal-based products than men. But our study suggests this does not ensure healthier food choices and in turn better health condition. Most studies see plant-based diets simply as vegetarian or “low in meat”, thus tr
11、eating all plant foods as equal. However, this study examined the type of plant-based foods eaten, in addition to the overall amount. Healthy plant-based products were made up of fruits, vegetables and coffee while unhealthy plant-based products included juices, potatoes and any kind of sweets. The
12、study examined the link between the quantity（数量）and quality of plant-based foods and heart health over a 10-year period.

18、ds You Eat, the Healthier YouAre C The secrets of dreaming are always interesting psychologists. It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time between childhood and full adulthood, thats around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known a
19、bout the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges? G. William Domhoff andAdam Schneider, at the University of California, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy
20、 dream series of two individuals, “Izzy” and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4, 329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25. Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recent
21、ly, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先 确定的)number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable the analysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, accur
22、acy, and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However, it can only lead so far. To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzin
23、g large data sets. For Izzy these word strings included “family and relatives”, “celebrities” and “fantasy”, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places,” electrical equipment” and “music”. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dr
24、eams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer. “The frequencies of dream el
25、ements show the intensity(强度)of the dreamers personal concern with that element in waking thought,” Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away. 8. What do psychologists agree
26、with about dreams? A. Dreams are influenced by life experiences. B. Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain. C. Dreams in ones teens and twenties are strongest. D. The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated. 9. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The collection of dreams. B. R
27、esearch into dreaming. C. The digital method. D. The challenge for psychologists. 10. How do the researchers conduct their study? A. By analyzing large data sets. B. By developing individualized word strings. C. By identifying the patterns of dreaming. D. By making comparison with traditional resear

Life experiences: elements of mental world D The new year is the moment when people vow to improve their fitness. They join gyms, swear off alcohol and a
29、dopt healthier diets. These resolutions usually do not last beyond January. But some employers try to help their workers stick to their goals by offering “wellness” programmes.
