18．（12.5分）"Mom， what is that？" asked my son． "The Bride of Chucky？"
The old doll I was holding was pretty scary． Her glass eyes were especially horrible， closing when she stood upright and flying open when she lay flat． Once she had been loved， but she had been stored in an attic （阁楼） for decades， where the extremes of heat and cold can be hard on a girl's looks． Throw her in the waste bin？ Maybe． But first， let's check eBay．
I clicked， supplied the required information about condition， including defects （i．e．， "Only a miracle could save this doll"）， and uploaded its photos． I sold it for ﹩5．
The buyer was happy： "As described!" he wrote on my feedback page． "Super seller!" The doll found a home and， I hope， a new life． Maybe she was used to repair other dolls． Perhaps those strange eyes got fixed and once again can inspire a child's love． It's a win﹣win， if you ask me．
I also sold lots of other stuff． None of them brought in a lot of money， though I have been surprised at the occasional bidding war， like， for example， the one over an old swimsuit that would have made Brigitte Bardot look bad． And some customers， let's face it， are strange． Recently I had a hard time convincing an Australian would﹣be buyer of an Irish souvenir bell that I don't shop internationally； it's just too much trouble． He could have flown to Ireland and bought his own bell for the price he was willing to pay． Another time， a buyer complained that the electric wire on an old radio was dirty． Really？ Dirty？ The wire was black． But I aim to please， so I offered a refund．
So why bother with the dealing and small profits？ Because I don't like abandoning the past． All these treasures once had stories． They meant something． But the people who gave them that meaning are gone， and I simply cannot rescue everything． I can't even sew． So I find it satisfying that a new owner， discovered via eBay， will continue the story in his or her own way．

（1）What was the doll like？　 　
A． It was lovely．
B． It was beautiful．
C． It looked frightening．
D． It was pretty ordinary．
（2）Which can best replace the underlined word "defects" in Paragraph 3？　 　
A． Faults．
B． Virtues．
C． Pictures．
D． Requirements．
（3）Why did the author refuse to sell the Australian the bell？　 　
A． She thought he was strange．
B． His bid was not high enough．
C． Someone else had already bought it．
D． Delivering it to him was troublesome．
（4）After receiving the complaint about the radio， the author　 　．
A． felt deeply sorry
B． explained patiently
C． returned the money
D． apologized immediately
（5）Why does the author sell used stuff via eBay？　 　
A． She needs money badly．
B． She is an environmentalist．
C． She is interested in marketing．
D． She wants their stories to be continued．
19．（12.5分）In recent years， a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy， including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us．
Studies have shown， for instance， that eating in front of the TV （or a similar distraction） can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed． Even simple visual clues， like plate size and lighting， have been shown to affect portion size and consumption．
A new study suggested that our short﹣term memory also may play a role in appetite． Several hours after a meal， people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them﹣in other words， how much they remembered eating．
This disparity （新旧研究的差异）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal， says Jeffrey M． Brunstrom， a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol．
"Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal． We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says． "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought．"
These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself． In a 2011 study， for instance， people who drank the same 380﹣calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger﹣related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake's label said it contained 620 or 140 calories． Moreover， the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher﹣calorie shake．
What does this mean for our eating habits？ Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less， the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating．
The so﹣called mindful﹣eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite， Brunstrom says．

（1）What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake？　 　
A． How we feel the food we eat．
B． When we eat our meals．
C． What element the food contains．
D． How fast we eat our meals．
（2）What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal？　 　
A． You would probably be more particular about food．
B． You would not feel like eating the same food．
C． You would have a good appetite．
D． You would not feel so hungry．
（3）What do we learn from the 2011study？　 　
A． Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases．
B． Food labels may influence our body's response to food．
C． Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories．
D． People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary．
（4）What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite？　 　
A． Trick ourselves into eating less．
B． Choose food with fewer calories．
C． Concentrate on food while eating．
D． Pick dishes of the right size．
（5）What is the main idea of the passage？　 　
A． Eating distractions often affect our food digestion．
B． Psychological factors influence our hunger levels．
C． Our food intake is determined by our biological needs．
D． Good eating habits will contribute to our health．
20．（12.5分）When we talk about Americans barely into adulthood who are saddled with（担负着） unbearable levels of debt' the conversation is almost always about student loan debt． But there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that today's young adults are also drowning in credit﹣card debt and that many of them will take this debt to their graves（坟墓）．
