Food is life; it gives us the nourishment(营养)we need to stay alive and be healthy. 1 Britain Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinios, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink calls this kind of food comfort, for some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of noodle soup makes them feel good.
2 Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives, “When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I love it. 3 And it helps me feel better,” says one of Wansink’s coworker.
Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research at the University of Illinois says “yes”. In his study, the favorite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream. After this, men usually preferred hot, savory(味香的) foods like soup or noodles. 4 Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried.

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just finished his course from a great painter. He wanted to assess his skills, so he decided to display one of his best works on a busy street.
He put his painting at a busy street-crossing. And below it a board read — "Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes in my work. 65 "
When he came back in the evening to collect his painting, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses.
66 He burst into tears and said sadly, "I'm useless and if this is what I have learned to
paint, I'm not worth teaching."
The master smiled and suggested, "My son, I will prove that you are a great artist." The master told him, "Just paint the same painting once again and give it to me."
Then they went to the same street the next morning and displayed the same painting. The master took out another board which read — "Gentleman, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do
me a favor. 67 "The master and the young painter went back home.
