Food for Italians isn’t a trend; it’s a way of life. Italians live to eat, and the importance of food in family life is absolutely important and deep-rooted in everyday routines.

In Italy, kids are encouraged to be part of every social occasion that revolves around food — it’s not about dividing the children from the adults, giving them separate meals or putting them to bed early. In Britain, by contrast, my sister and I often see children eating separate meals from their parents.

Letting children experience food like an Italian will develop not just their palate(味覺) but also their social skills, manners, teaching them new and mature ways to interact. Here are some food customs that are part of every Italian child’s upbringing.

One of the most celebrated Italian food customs is the morning coffee. Coffee shops and bars have customers streaming in and out of them each morning as the Italians get their daily dose–and this habit is just as much about the social setting as it is about the coffee.

While the morning is all about coffee, pre-lunch or dinner, it’s all about the local snacks. Most often, Italian city centres and squares are jam packed with locals who come out with their kids to enjoy this pre-dinner treat, and children are encouraged to enjoy snacks available. This is a brilliant way to get kids to try new tastes without the pressures of meal times. It’s important to note that “kids’ menus” do not exist in Italian restaurants—children are treated like adults and are offered plates from the main menu — in smaller amounts, if they’re young.

Post-lunch, most cities can seem quite deserted. But by 4 p.m. onwards, the crowds start to re-emerge. One by one, families spill out and the streets liven up. Everyone begins their afternoon stroll, enjoying the afternoon snacks, like ice-cream, which turns over a huge trade in Italy.

1.What will parents do at meal times in Italy?

A. Let children have their meals separately.

B. Offer children plates from kids’ menu.

C. Order some food for children but in small amounts.

D. Encourage children to eat with them.

2.What won’t children develop if they experience food like an Italian?

A. Cooking ways.B. Sense of taste.

C. Social skills.D. Interacting manners.

3.What do we know about the pre-dinner treat in Italy?

A. It is most often about coffee.

B. It can get children to experience new foods with ease.

C. It is unavailable in city centres and squares.

D. It can reduce the pressure of meal times.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To introduce different Italian local foods.

B. To stress the importance of food for Italians.

C. To show Italians’ children education.

D. To advertise Italian food trends.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Depressed? Do What You Love

About 350 million people around the world suffer from depression. Therapists can use many different techniques to help, but none has more accurate scientific evidence behind it than cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This “inside-out” technique focuses mainly on thought patterns, training patients to recognize and reframe their thinking. __1.__

BA is an outside-in technique in which therapists focus on adjusting actions rather than thoughts. “The idea is that what you do and how you feel are linked,” says David Richards, a health services researcher at the University of Exeter in England. If a patient values nature and family, for example, a therapist may encourage him to schedule a daily walk in the park with his family members. __2.__This could create an alternative to more negative pastimes such as thinking on loss. BA has existed for decades, yet until now it has never been tested with the scale and exactness needed to assess its relative strength as a stand-alone approach.

In one of the largest studies of its kind, Richards led a group of 18 researchers working at three mental health centers in the U.K. who put BA and CBT head-to-head. They assigned 440 people with depression to about 16 weeks of one of the two approaches, then followed the patients’ progress at six, twelve and eighteen months after treatment began. __3.__ A year on, about two thirds of the patients in both groups reported at least a 50 percent reduction in their symptoms.

_4.__ For instance, patients with depression could begin with simpler therapies such as BA, and then seek out more specialized care if they do not respond to that treatment. “We believe that BA is a good first step in treatment, and the report addresses that point,” says George Alexopoulos at Weill Cornell Medical College, a key member of the team.

In addition, Richards and his colleagues found that junior health workers could provide BA after a brief training period, which makes it significantly cheaper compared with CBT, for it requires highly specialized therapists. __5._

A. These findings could change treatment guidelines.

B. As shown in a report, the team found the treatments equally effective.

C. In doing so, it helps increase the rewards of engaging more with the outside world.

D. The disorder of depression is characterized by continuous sadness and also interference with day-to-day work.

E. Trained medical professionals should diagnose depression not only by a physical examination, but by asking the right questions.

F. This distinction could make the former a blessing to developing countries, where resources for mental health are especially in need.

G. Now, however, mental health professionals have another option: a technique called behavioral-activation (BA) therapy is just as effective.
