A　[词义猜测题。根据前文的描述，作者以前生活在城市的大房子里，现在生活在树林里一个移动的自主建造的小房子里，没有自来水，因特网，手机等这些现代化的东西，故此处为"放弃"的意思，因此答案为A。]

　　2．What interested the author most when living in the tiny house?

　　A．The natural living schedule.

　　B．Busy and invaluable experiences.

　　C．The happiness of the simple life.

　　D．The very few material possessions.

　　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段首句"However，it was possible for me to be truly happy while living with very few material things."可知，最吸引作者的还是简单的生活带来的快乐，故答案为C。]

　　3．What did the author feel when she returned to the US?

　　A．She was behind the times.

　　B．She wouldn't enjoy the modern life.

　　C．She was rich enough to enjoy the city life.

　　D．She was disconnected with the outside world.

　　B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"When I returned to life in the US，I couldn't help but sense a deep and uneasy belief that life suddenly changed."和"These are the things I once cared for but now find myself too busy to enjoy."可知，她无法离开大自然的生活，享受不了现代化的生活模式，故答案为B。]

We are what we eat.That is an old expression，but one worth knowing.A recent look at diets around the world shows that people who eat healthy food－and not too much of it－live longer.But which areas of the world have the best diets? Researchers found that foods in some of the healthiest diets－ Mediterranean diet，New Nordic diet，Japanese diet and French diet－may be very different，but they are all heavy on local and seasonal foods，which include more vegetables and seafood and less red meat.
