Moods（情緒）, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one’s outlook （世界觀） for hours, days or even weeks．That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry, or simply lonely．
Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, however, there is no one to listen．Modern pharmacology （藥理學(xué)） offers a lot of tranquilizers （鎮(zhèn)靜劑） and anti-anxiety（抗焦慮） medicines．What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood．These can be just as useful as medicines, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous．So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug store but try the following methods．
“Of all the mood changing self –help techniques, aerobic exercise（有氧運動）seems to be the best cure for a bad mood．If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits,” says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty．
Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise more effective than drug as a mood- raiser．Physical work such as house-work, however, does little good．The key is aerobic exercise---running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive activities that increase the heart rate and circulation, and improve the body’s use of oxygen．Do them for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week．
1．It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.
A．when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very well．
B．the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself．
C．some drugs are more effective than physical exercise．
D．taking drugs is at the risk of being harmed．
2．“Feel out of sorts”（in Paragraph 2 ） could be best replaced by _________．
A．put things in order B．search for tranquilizers
C．a(chǎn)re in bad mood D．a(chǎn)re in high spirits
3．Which of the following best describes the organization（組織） of this passage?
A．A way of exercise and its importance are explained.
B．A problem is put forward and solutions are presented.
C．Two different views on a problem are given．
D．Recent developments in medicine are described．
4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?
A．Moods can have an effect on people’s appearances．
B．Aerobic exercise can help people make better use of oxygen.
C．Many tranquilizers have been provided．

Given that many people's moods （情緒）are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie&the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility （CRF） has over 100 varieties of chocolates．its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' comer store with one handalmost always in the jar of sweets．
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored（味道）chocolates．
The CRF's produce is "green"．made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper, red bean （豆）．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela , and Ghana, among others．
