You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams. From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found. Salt acts as a natural anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”, a study has reported. The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy. The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much. However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food. The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure. Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug. One sign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless. Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt. 4．What does the underlined word "deficient" in the fourth paragraph mean? A．enough B．far from enough C．more than enough D．plenty 5．The major role of salt is to ________. A．help the body work well B．help fight against depression C．help people get rid of an addiction to drugs D．help people enjoy sugary substances 6．Which of the following statements is true? A．People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful toeat too much of it. B．Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt. C．The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there. D．Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health. 7．What kind of food should people eat more of? A．Frozen food B．Fast food C．Red meat D．Low-salt food C Seven years ago, American Libby Green was traveling with her mom to the French Mediterranean resort city of Nice. Meanwhile, German-born Marcel Gnauk and a friend were also in Nice, attending the Crossover Festival, a celebration of eclectic music. Walking on the city’s beachfront Promenade des Anglais, Marcel spotted Libby holding a Hasselblad, a traditional medium-format film camera, and couldn’t resist approaching her. The pair chatted about this valuable object and then their travel. The next day, Libby flew back to the US, but they kept in contact. In the early years of their relationship, sharing their travel experiences online became part of their routine. Then, when traveling in Phnom Penh, Libby filmed some pigeons taking flight that she wanted to use in a film. But she couldn’t record the sound of their wing beats. They looked on the internet, searching sound libraries, but couldn’t find anything appropriate. So, Marcel took a $100 audio recorder, and went searching for the missing sound to record. He didn’t find any pigeons—but he did manage to change the direction of the couple’s future. Marcel turned the recorder on in a small construction zone where women were shoveling gravel, listening through a cheap set of headphones. He was shocked. Everything became alive, and from that day until now he had never stopped recording. In the six years since that first recording, Libby and Marcel have captured audio in more than 25 countries. They share their experiences through Instagram. Through postings they offer not just their passion and experiences recording sounds, but also details of the equipment and techniques they use. Through their website they offer 500 royalty-free sound libraries. Of these, 145 are free to download. Marcel says their “a-ha” moment came when he was sitting in front of a computer in 2017. Libby had added a donation button to their website, and a Hollywood post-production creative had donated a few dollars. He realized others shared a passion for sound—and were willing to pay for it. Now their passion becomes a business. 8．What attracted Marcel when he saw Libby? A．Her voice. B．Her camera. C．Her kindness. D．Her beauty. 9．Which moment was of significance to the couple? A．When they made a film in France. B．When they shared travel experiences online. C．When they searched the woods for a specific bird. D．When they tried to record sounds of birds beating wings. 10．What does the author want to convey by saying “‘a-ha’ moment” in the last paragraph? A．Marcel got a surprise. B．Marcel could do nothing but sigh. C．Marcel couldn’t say a word. D．Marcel felt really worried. 11．What is the best title for the text? A．An Unforgettable Travel B．A Secret to Happiness C．A Passion for Sounds D．A Lesson From Nature D The 2022 Chinese Visual Ethnographic Photo Biennale(中国民族影像志摄影双年展)， which aims to collect and preserve the unique history, culture and cherished memories of China’s various ethnic groups, opened in Beijing on Tuesday.
