B)阅读短文,从短文后A至F六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
One day, my Chinese coworker told me, "You're on fire." Seeing my puzzled face, she added, "You have inner heat—shang huo." 41 A friend missed a party because of it. A student skipped class for the same reason. Even at dinner, we couldn't order spicy food because someone had "shang huo."
Curious, I asked a friend. She explained that shang huo happens when the body has too much yang, creating an imbalance with yin. 42 Yin and yang are two opposite energies that work together to keep us healthy. When yang grows too strong, signs of inner heat appear.
43 Shang huo often starts by eating too much salty, sweet, spicy food. Sweets, alcohol, and cold food can make it worse. According to a doctor in Beijing, avoiding hot and spicy food is key to preventing shang huo.
Shang huo can cause many signs in the body. You can see problems like red skin, nosebleeds, and mouth pain. You may also feel tired, not want to eat food, have a sore throat, or feel sad and weak. 44
To get better, you need to cool down the heat—jiang huo. People should not wear too many clothes and should eat food that can make the body cooler. Although cold food might help for a short time, they can make things worse later. 45 The best way to cool the body is by sweating properly and drinking plenty of water.
A. There are some ways to cool down the body safely.
B. After this, I started noticing "shang huo" everywhere.
C. Food plays a big part in causing shang huo.
D. Shang huo is only caused by hot weather.
E. The signs of shang huo can be both seen and felt.
F. Keeping balance inside the body is very important.
41. 42. 43. 44. 45.
