Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true  36   still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the   37   that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.

In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily   46  in coming to the stall with me. She   47   spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the  48   talking to him about her life.

Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t   53   . She only nodded yes.

四、阅读理解 （共20小题; 每小题2分,满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Eating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests．What’s more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found．
Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants was compared with depression five years later, the British Journal of Psychiatry reported．They split the participants into two types of diet – those who ate a diet largely based on whole foods, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products．After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic（慢性的） diseases, they found a significant difference in future depression risk with the different diets．
Those who ate the most whole foods had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who at the least whole foods．By contrast people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate very few processed foods．
Study author Dr Archana Singh-Manoux pointed out there is a chance the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for．
There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression but the problem with that is if you live in Britain the likelihood（可能的） of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high．
Dr．Andrew McCulloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, This study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health．
He added people’s diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy．The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated（含饱和脂肪酸的）fats and sugars．
