I was typing papers for new school students when Mama called. We talked about some senseless things for a
while before she finally told me about it. “Well, Donner, there’s this class up at the high school this summer.” She
said. “They say they can teach me to read and write. I’m trying to decide whether.”
“Of course, you should do it! That would be so wonderful. I’d be so proud of you.” I answered. She was 63
and had survived two alcoholic husbands and was an expert at buying and selling garage sale junk to keep food on
her own table and buy Christmas presents for me and my brother’s kids. She used food stamps to buy food and
other goods. Mama laughed, seemingly with relief. “Well, you know, I’d about gotten used to being the silliest old
lady in town,” she said.
It turned out that her neighbor had found the class for her. The young woman had been doing Mama’s
“business” for a while in my absence, helping to relieve my guilt over leaving Mississippi. The friend was a little
crazy, but Mama liked her. She was real and, by then, I hated pretension as much as Mama did. When I was little,
she would tell me: “Remember, Donner Kay, nobody’s better than anybody else.”
Three months into the class. Mama left a message on my answering machine: “Donner, I taught a class
tonight!” She was almost singing the words. “The teacher let me teach the class!” She soon wrote me a letter in a
careful, box y print I had never seen, instead of the strange way she had long written family names she had
memorized.
The next time I flew home to visit, we both laughed like 12-year-olds as she read words from billboards on the
way from the airport. Her grammar was getting better. She kept talking about her classes and the other students.
14. Why did Donner’s mother phone her according to Paragraph 1?
A. To advise Donner to take a course. B. To show her support for Donner.
C. To tell Donner her decision. D. To ask Donner for advice.
15. How did Donner’s mother feel when she left a message for Donner?
A. Shocked. B. Delighted. C. Puzzled. D. Worried.
16. What does the author want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?
A. What progress Donner’s mother made. B. The difficulty Donner’s mother had in learning.
C. How Donner’s mother learned to read and write. D. The effects other students had on Donner’s mother.
C
Consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has increased over the past 20 years. UPFs (超加工食品)
contain few or no whole foods, are industrially produced, are ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat, and include additives
(添加剂). The ultra-processing of food reduces its nutritional value. It has been known that higher UPF
consumption is associated with overweight and heart disease. Now, research has been extended to examine its
impact on mental health.
In a new study, over 72,000 participants who were at least 55 years old and didn’t have dementia (痴呆) at the
start of the study were followed for an average of 10 years, during which they filled out questionnaires regarding
their diet. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed(诊断) with dementia. After adjusting for other
factors that could affect risk of dementia such as age, gender, and heart disease, researchers found every 10 percent
increase in daily intake of UPFs was associated with a 25 percent higher risk of dementia. They also found
replacing 10percent of UPFs with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a 19 percent
lower risk of dementia.
In another study, researchers found individuals who consumed the most UPFs had significant increases in the
symptoms (症状) of mild depression,“mentally unhealthy days”, and“anxious days”. Eric Hecht, Founder and
Executive Director of the Institute of Etiological Research, said, “More than 70 percent of packaged foods in the
US are classified as UPFs and represent about 60percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Considering the
degree of exposure to and effects of UPF consumption, this study has great significance in clinical practice and
public health. It might help improve future development of dietary guidelines.”
Facing such alarming data, maybe it’s time for Americans to reconsider their food choices. Researchers
recommend tax es on UPFs and carrying out policies to reduce the consumption. They also support programs and
policies to increase the availability and affordability of whole foods, especially among disadvantaged populations.
17. What do we know about UPFs?
