听力原文: Despite the fact that healthy eating has more publicity than ever before, the sales of chocolate continue to rise.
But why do we like it so much? It's not enough to answer: "Because it tastes nice." So do other foods. But do you know any other food which some people have to keep closed until their guests arrive? They know that if they open the chocolate on their own, they'll probably go on eating until they feel slightly ill. And it isn't just the sugar that people like. In the 17th century, when chocolate first arrived here as a drink, people did not put sugar in it because sugar was too expensive.
"Comfort" is a good word to explain why chocolate is more than just another food. It makes people feel safe.
"After a busy day, I like to sit and listen to the radio with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate."
One answer is that, like coffee, cola and tea, chocolate contains the stimulants. This could explain why it is so difficult to stop eating chocolate once you've started. Some people even fear that they won't be able to atop, and this makes them literally afraid of chocolate.
(33)
A.Because it is better than other foods.
B.Because it tastes good.
C.Because it provides comfort and pleasure.

听力原文:W: John, I' m really hungry !
M: Just get anything you want, it' s on me today. I' m thinking about a hamburger and some chicken McNuggets.
W: Thanks, man. That sounds good. I love milkshakes here.
M: Me, too. The formula of McDonald' s is really special.
W: Right. And no matter where you go in the world, you can always see similar menu items and the same high level of quality in McDonald' s.
M: It' s true. They also do well because of diversity. I mean, they sell different products according to people' s tastes and preferences in different areas.
W: Right. Like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Seafood Soup that they sell in China. They could never sell that here!
M: But I' ve heard that McDonald' s is really losing market share in the States now, and has closed down some restaurants.
W: Yeah. It' s just so difficult to stay competitive when there are so many fast food chains in the States. I mean there are KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W, just to name a few.
M: It seems that they' re doing better overseas, ' because they' re really able to sell American culture.
W: Yeah. They use all the media they can, and they do a good job.

W: What about the children?
M: Kids in school take sandwiches, fruit and cookies along with them or eat in school cafeterias.
