Then you’re ready for an adventure.Researchers from theUniversity of Sussex in England say they have found for the first timeexperimental evidence that sour tastes lead to more risk-taking behaviour in apaper published on 7 June, 2019.In the study, 168volunteers from the UK and Vietnam were given a 20ml solution representing oneof the five main taste groups: bitter, salty, sour, sweet and umami. Thetasters then took part in a computerized test that measures risk-taking: theygot paid to blow up a digital balloon. The more air in the balloon, the moremoney they could get; they could cash out whenever theywanted. But if theballoon popped or exploded? Bye bye, potential winnings.When the researchers studied the performance ofthe volunteers, they found the people who’d tasted sour were much more likelyto keep pumping up the balloon compared with people who’d gotten a taste of theother solutions. On average, sour tasters were 39% more likely to push theballoon to its limits than sweet tasters, 20.50% more than bitter, 16.03% morethan salty and 40.29% more than umami.This finding makes a degreeof sense—without taking risks, we don’t learn anything new. And it is obvious thatpeople with disorders such as anxiety and depression are unwilling to takerisks. So, the researchers argue, if you have these disorders, maybe addingmore sour foods into your diet could help keep that aversion in check. Thenyou’d be more likely to take chances, like talking to a stranger, and that willlead to self-improvement.（1）Where does this passage most probably come from?A . A travel guide.B . A novel.C .

Those who blew up a digital balloon got more money.D . Sour tasters were likely to push the balloon to its limits.（3）This finding may be more helpful to the people who .A . are in a negative moodB . like to drink lemonadeC . joined in the experimentD . like talking to strangers（4）What is the best title for the passage?A . Good Tastes Encourage Adventures.B . Sour Tastes Make You Risk-taking.C . Lemonade Does Good to Health.D . Sour Foods Keep You Happy.14. 阅读理解China is recognized as aworld leader in the development of artificial intelligence and facialrecognition systems.
