　　Given that many people's moods(情緒)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie& the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility(CRF)has over 100 varieties of chocolates．its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．

　　If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates．

　　The CRF's produce is "green"．made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean(豆)．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others．

The American book Who Moved My Cheese（奶酪） has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens（青少年）. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice（老鼠）, two“l(fā)ittle people”and some cheese.
The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
56. The book Who Moved My Cheese is __________.

     閱讀下面短文并回答問(wèn)題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的詞
數(shù)要求)。
    [1] When you get in your car,you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to
have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
    [2] Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life:               .
And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to control their longing to bug it
more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
    [3] The costs are becoming more and more evident,and I don't mean just the monthly bill.
Dr. Chris Knippers,a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California,reports that the
overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions:
a barrier to one-on-one personal contact,and an escape from reality.
    [4] Sounds extreme,but we've all witnessed the evidence:The person at a restaurant who talks on
the phone through an entire meal,ignoring his kids around the table；the woman who talks on the
phone in the car, ignoring her husband；the teen who texts messages all the way home from school,
avoiding contact with kids all around him.
    [5] Jim Williams,an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction
is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke
University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their
most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones,e-mail and instant messaging,
in other words,Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents."Just as
more information has led to less wisdom,more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have
produced fewer friends."he says.
