A recent look at diets around the world shows that people who eat healthy food and not too much of it - - live longer. But which areas of the world have best die
23、ts? Researchers found that foods in some of the healthiest diets Mediterranean, New Nordic, Japanese and French may be very different, but they are all heavy on local, seasonal and limit processed foods, which are high in vegetables and seafood and low in red meat.Mediterranean diet contains lots of

25、l, low-fat milk and cheese. Very sugary desserts are not common in this diet.Japanese people are some of the longest-living people on the planet, with women up to 87 years old and men up to 80.

But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found its all down to the hormone oxytocin(荷尔蒙催生素 ). Although
31、 known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.“Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status,“ said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out i
32、n our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as env
33、y.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship. Professor Ryans recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants received oxytocin. The
34、 other half received placebo (安慰剂). After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material. Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were - 8 -asked to analyze the relati
35、onships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, mens ability to correctly recognize competitive relationsh
36、ips improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded: “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise peoples abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men an
37、d women are caused by biological factors that are mainly hormonal.“ 32. What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?A. Placebo. B. Oxytocin. C. The gesture. D.

Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand peoples behavior differences.34. Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A. To test the ef
39、fect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions. B. To know the differences between friendship and competition. C. To know peoples different abilities to answer questions.D.
