         Food is life; it gives us the nourishment (营养) we need to stay alive and be healthy. Usually, we eat
    because we are hungry or need energy. Brian Wansink, a professor (教授) at the University of Illinois, says
    we also eat certain (某种) foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink
    calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of
    noodles makes them feel good.
         How does a food became comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important
    times, feelings, and people in our lives, 'When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it.
    Now, I often eat this soup when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better,' says one of Wansink's
    friends.
         Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink's research (研究) at the University of
    Illinois says 'yes'. In his study, the favorite comfort for both men and women was ice cream. After this,
    men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things such as chocolate
    and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods
    more when they are sad or worried.
    1. According to the passage, a kind of food that makes us feel good is called ________.
    A. fast food
    B. healthy food
    C. Chinese food
    D. comfort food
    2. In Wansink's study, both men and women like to eat ________.
    A. soup
    B. ice cream

    A. men probably eat more comfort foods than women
    B. women usually eat comfort foods only when they are happy
