We are what we eat. From high-calorie meals to low-fat lunches, much of our health depends on what we eat. We know about the benefits of eating fittingly for our physical health, but food, and cooking it, is proving to be good for our mental health as well.
Some people are now supporting the therapeutic value of cooking food. It’s not just about the end result but also the experience someone goes through. Dr Mark Salter, a consultant psychiatrist, told the BBC: “Baking and cooking are good therapies. They help patients develop planning skills, short-term memories and social skills — lack of which may lead to mental illness.”
TV chef (大厨) and author Nadiya Hussain agrees that cooking is great for helping our mind. She loves to bake and became the champion of the TV show, The Great British Bake Off. She says that “Baking’s always been about therapy... It’s never really been about the cake.” And she thinks that baking is an important tool for our socialization and mental health.
Certainly, creating some delicious food takes our mind off things and gives us something to do, helping us get through the recent lockdown. People have said that mixing dough (生面团) to make bread, for example, has given them a sense of calm and control. Research has shown that doing creative tasks, like cooking, makes us feel happier. Nicole Farmer, who studies how food influences our biology, behavior and mental health, told BBC online that “Cooking represents the human experience of food, and growing people through food, so there is no doubt it can bring us timely positive feelings.”
Of course, cooking can be a very sociable activity and sharing the end result, a rewarding experience. Hopefully, as we start to mix with friends and family again, we can enjoy the benefits once more and put us all in the right state of mind.
4. What is baking in Nadiya Hussain’s eyes
A. It’s helpful for our mind. B. It’s a kind of TV programme.
C. It’s always about the cake. D. It’s a tool for physical health.
5. Creative tasks can help people get through the lockdown because they _________.
A. give people a lasting sense of calm and peace
B. mark the start of the experience of cooking food
C. make people feel more confident and stronger
D. help people take their mind off unhappy things
6. Which of the following is right according to the passage
A. Dr Mark Salter is a consultant psychiatrist of the BBC.
B. Hussain once got the first prize for her books on baking.
C. The Great British Bake Off is a TV show about cooking.
D. Nicole Farmer is a British scientist who studies biology.
7. What is the article trying to convince (使确信) the reader of
A. Eating fittingly for physical health. B. Enjoying the course of cooking.
C. Sharing delicious food with others. D. Developing our planning skills.

The 6-year-old girl, Ruby, lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was supposed to go to school close to her home. But all the students in that school were white. Ruby was black. School leaders didn’t want to accept her, so they made Ruby take a hard exam and hoped she would fail.

Ruby was excited about her new school. But when she and her mom arrived on her first day she saw a crowd of angry people shouting very cruel things at the gate.

12. How could Ruby get the chance to go to the school
A. By meeting the president. B. By passing a difficult exam.
C. By visiting the school leaders. D. By asking for help from the government.

C Let her in! D. Welcome!

A. Fight for your rights. B. Intelligence (智商) is valuable.
C. Treat people of different colors equally D. Get help from the police when in trouble.

They help patients develop planning skills, short-term memories and social skills — lack of which may lead to mental illness.”
TV chef (大厨) and author Nadiya Hussain agrees that cooking is great for helping our mind. She loves to bake and became the champion of the TV show, The Great British Bake Off. She says that “Baking’s always been about therapy... It’s never really been about the cake.” And she thinks that baking is an important tool for our socialization and mental health.
Certainly, creating some delicious food takes our mind off things and gives us something to do, helping us get through the recent lockdown. People have said that mixing dough (生面团) to make bread, for example, has given them a sense of calm and control. Research has shown that doing creative tasks, like cooking, makes us feel happier. Nicole Farmer, who studies how food influences our biology, behavior and mental health, told BBC online that “Cooking represents the human experience of food, and growing people through food, so there is no doubt it can bring us timely positive feelings.”
Of course, cooking can be a very sociable activity and sharing the end result, a rewarding experience. Hopefully, as we start to mix with friends and family again, we can enjoy the benefits once more and put us all in the right state of mind.
