M: Oh, absolutely. You know, how we feel, how we cope with stress, how we think, how clearly we think, are all directly affected by the foods that we eat.
W: OK, we actually went out to ask people what foods they ate in order to make themselves happy. And many people take chocolate as their happy food, while some may prefer pizza.
M: OK, me too. Pizza would be my happy food. But those aren't the foods that actually make you happy. You know, both of those are part of it. But there are foods that really directly affect our brain with certain chemicals. So fish is really a big happy food. It's got protein, omega three fats, vitamin D, all of those help raise our neural chemistry that makes us feel happy. Potatoes, cereals, great carps that actually get the protein into the brain. Fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy products all are great for raising mood. And crunchy foods, like popcorn, those are fabulous for making us happy.
W: Why? Why?
M: The actual chewing mechanism raise levels in the brain. So combining all these together, creating wonderful combinations of fish tacos or you know, I think potatoes with chili on top of it, they are great combinations.
W: OK, you got a happy dinner, right?
M: Yeah, yeah.
W: OK, let's talk about stressed out food, food that you do tend to eat when you're stressed.
M: When I'm stressed, I eat anything salty. Popcorn, thing's like that, a pie, a chocolate. And I usually
go over some kind of drink.
W: OK, drink, that's a good solution. Well, what are the real stress busters?
M: Well, healthy fats, believe it or not. They are great for coping with stress. Wonderful. So, avocados, nuts, seeds.
W: That's why I'm having avocados when I'm stressed out.
M: Yes, great stress buster, peanuts, peanut butter, and again, dairy foods are great. They help reduce stress. They help to decrease anxiety and anger. So again, combinations, getting protein and vitamin B6, slim beef, turkey, make yourself a turkey sandwich, and ... Yes, absolutely.

听力原文: Welcome to Physiology 100. I'm Doctor Ann Roberts. I assume everyone here is a sophomore, since this is the Nursing Department second-year physiology course. If you are first-year nursing students, please see me after class about transferring into introductory course. OK, I'd like to begin my first lecture by introducing two important terms, vitalism versus mechanism. How many of you have heard of these terms? Oh, I see sorae of you have. Well, vitalism and mechanism are two completely opposite approaches to human physiology. According to the vitalist, the laws of physics and chemistry alone can not explain the processes of life. To the vitalist, there is a so-called vital force, and this vital force is totally separate from that of energy. As you may have guessed, vitalism is a kind of philosophical approach. Mechanism, on the other hand, is the view that all life phenomena, no matter how complex, can be explained according to chemical and physical laws. Since we can support mechanism through scientific experimentation, the modern scientist tends to be a mechanist. But vitalism is not totally dismissed, especially in fields such as brain physiology, where terms such as human consciousness haven't been defined yet in physic-chemical terms. I recently read an interesting article that dealt with this very question. Is the mind separate from brain, or is the mind only the chemical and physiological workings of the brain.'? I'd like to continue with this next time, so that we can speak in more detail. I have some copies of that article. And I want you to take it with you and read it for next week.
For whom is the lecture intended?
A. Freshman.
B. Sophomore.
C. Junior.
D. Senior.
