D
【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Finding comfort in food. Eating the right dishes can lift our spirits and swallow up stress. Well, here with more on how food affects our mood is Doctor Susan Kleiner, a nutritionist, and the author of the Good Mood Diet. Susan, good morning.
W: Good morning, Kim Bold.
M: So I'm very curious about this. Are there foods that actually have happy chemicals in them?
W: Oh, absolutely. {{U}}You know, how we feel, how we cope with stress, how we think, how clearly we think are all directly affected by the foods that we eat{{/U}}. (我们所吃的食物能够直接影响我们的感受、处理压力的方式、思维方式及思维的清晰度。)
M: OK. We actually went out and asked people what foods they ate in order to make themselves happy. And they said that some kinds of food do make them happy, such as chocolate, Pizza, Thai food and etc. As for me, Pizza would be my happy food. But those aren't the foods that actually make you happy. Right?
W: Well, it could be. You know, both of those are part of it. But there are foods that really directly affect our brain with certain chemicals. Fish is really a big happy food. It's got protein in brain, and {{U}}it is free of fats and full of vitamin D{{/U}}. (鱼没有脂肪而且富含维生素D，而不是维生素A。) All of those help raise our neural chemistry that makes us feel happy. Potatoes, cereals, great carps actually get the protein into the brain. Fruits and vegetables, {{U}}milk and dairy products, all are great for raising mood{{/U}}. (奶类制品有助于提升情绪，使人们高兴起来。) And crunchy foods, like popcorn, are fabulous for making us feel happy.
M: Why is it so?
W: The actual chewing mechanism raises neurotransmitter levels in the brain. So combining all these together creates wonderful combinations. For instance, potatoes with chili on top even. These are great combinations.
M: OK. Then you got a very happy dinner, right?
W: Yes.
M: OK. Let's talk about stressed-out food or foods that you do tend to eat when you're stressed. People interviewed said that they might prefer anything salty, or a pie of chocolate, or even some kind of drinks. Well, as far as you are concerned, what are the real stress busters?
W: Well. {{U}}Healthy fats, believe it or not, are great for coping with stress{{/U}}, (含有健康脂肪的食品对消除压力有帮助。) such as nuts, seeds, olive, olive oil and etc. {{U}}A great stress buster: peanuts and peanut butter{{/U}}. (花生及花生酱富含健康脂肪。)
M: Yes.
W: {{U}}And then again, dairy foods are great. They help reduce stress and decrease anxiety and anger{{/U}}. (奶制品在消除压力方面也是不错的选择。) And so again, {{U}}combinations get in protein and vitamin B6{{/U}}. (同时含有蛋白质和维生素B6的食品也是可以帮助减压的。) So {{U}}lean beef and turkey are good choices{{/U}}. (瘦牛肉和火鸡肉都因富含蛋白质和维生素B6而成为不错的选择。)Making yourself a turkey sandwich on the whole-grain bread seems a great idea.
M: OK, our final mood here is energetic. How to be energetic? People who we interviewed also showed their preference to something with sugar, as candy bars or a protein shake. OK, now I mean we all do it. Sugar, caffeine, you know.
W: Right.
M: Are any of those unharmed?
W: Well. There are some good ones there. The liquid is really critical. So water, of course is very good.
M: Keeping yourself hydrated.
W: Keeping yourself well hydrated. {{U}}There's nothing more important for all of your moods than to keep yourself drinking plenty of water{{/U}}. (在所有可以使人们精力充沛的食品中，液体食物尤其是足量的水是最重要的。)But there are other things, such as eggs and soy. {{U}}The egg, the egg yolk and soy are fast food fat that actually creates channels to allow nutrition into the brain and poisonous substances out{{/U}}. (鸡蛋、蛋黄和大豆所含有的脂类物质可以帮助大脑吸收营养，排除毒素。) It's so important to have them in your diet everyday. And of course, everyone loves chocolate. But we can also have coffee, tea, a little bit of caffeine. They are stimulant.
M: So it's a pick-me-up in the morning. It's great before exercise. You don't want too much, because it can make you feel lousy rather than better.
W: Or too late in the day.
M: Right! An interesting stuff, Dr. Susan Kleiner, thank you so much! Good to have you here!
W: Thank you! Nice to be here!
