Food is life We eat it to grow, stay healthy, and have the energy to do everyday activities The food we consume makes all of these things possible
But not all food is the same Studies have shown, for example, that children who eat a nutritious breakfast do better in school than those with a poor diet The well-fed child is able to pay attention longer, remember more, and participate more actively in class Research has also shown that adults who have a healthy diet perform far better on the job, and they also miss fewer days of work than those who often eat unhealthy food Our food choices clearly affect our health and behaviour, so we must do more than just eat; we must eat well For many people today, though, making healthy food choices is not easy
We are surrounded by information telling us what's good for us and what isn't, but usually this information is more confusing than helpful Studies done on eggs are a good example For years, research showed a link between eating eggs and high cholesterol To prevent dangerous diseases like cancer or heart disease, people were encouraged to limit or completely eliminate eggs from their diets However, recent
studies now say that they are actually good for you and that most people can and even should eat one a day
It's hard to know who to believe
Shopping for food can also be challenging Many shoppers consider product labels as one of the important factors that help them decide what to get Not surprisingly, people are more likely to buy items with the words "doctor-recommended," "low-fat," or "all-natural" on them However, many food labels are
often misleading For instance, because doctors sometimes recommend that people eat yogurt for their
digestion, a yogurt maker might then use the label "doctor-recommended" so that you buy their product In reality, though, their specific yogurt isn't preferred by doctors, but shoppers may think it is because of the food label

Trang 4Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
During difficult times, we have a strong tendency to express a single emotion, even when others might be more “logical.” For example, your default emotion may be anxiety, which is what you’ll feel during most stressful circumstances, even if a more appropriate emotional reaction might be anger, sadness, or frustration This is your dominant emotional style, said Dr Alice Boyes, a professional psychologist and author of the book “The Healthy Mind Toolkit,” in a recent article she wrote A dominant emotion is the emotion we naturally display first and is linked to our assessment of and reaction to a stressful situation, especially one
that can greatly affect our mental stability This is because it is what we know clearly and what feels the most
familiar and comfortable to us However, it’s also very important to be able to experience a diverse range of emotions, as this is often the key to a healthier, happier life
One way to think about emotions is to think about all of the different emotions as being part of a balanced ecosystem Within an ecosystem there are many different components, all of which are vital for a healthy system If this balance gets disrupted, with one emotion becoming too powerful, the overall health
of the system will deteriorate As studies are showing, people who experience a broad range of emotions
tend to have better mental health, which includes lower rates of depression One possible reason is that a mixture of emotions, even if they are negative ones, can help prevent a single emotion from easily and completely taking over
According to Boyes, there are two options that can help you step back from your dominant emotion The first option is to think through other possible interpretations of the situation For Boyes, her dominant emotion is anxiety, where she will usually blame herself However, when she slows down and evaluates the situation, trying to think through other reasons for what is going on, this allows her other emotions to surface The second option is to focus on the quieter feelings that have been drowned out by your dominant emotion “If I tune into my smaller emotions, they rise to the surface more,” Boyes wrote These other feelings can help you come up with different solutions to your problem and give you a more balanced perspective
As Boyes points out, these strategies for dialling down your dominant emotion can have a lot of
positive impacts These include feeling a sense of relief, enhancing your creativity, identifying new ways to problem-solve, as well as motivating you to try alternative approaches that you might not otherwise think of
