23、It was the summer of my 16th year. I was 2,000 miles away from home and my heart was aching. I had travelled from the mountains of West Virginia to the great plains of Iowa. I was with a group of boys touring a college.
When the trip first started, I was filled with excitement. It was going to be a week of adventure, a week of travel, and the change of starting on a new path in my life. Now five days later I was filled with sadness. I missed my Mom. I missed my Dad. I missed my old, Italian grandmother. I missed the mountains, the green trees, and the smell of the wild flowers in the summertime.
I walked outside and sat down on a chair. I knew that I was at a crossroads and that the decision I was about to make would affect the rest of my life. This college had sounded so good to me a few weeks before. Now, however, I knew that I could never go to college here.
Since that day I have been at many crossroads in my life. Sometimes I have made the wrong choice and have to give up to make things right. More often than not, though, I have felt greatly encouraged and made the choices that took me where I needed to go and helped me to become who I needed to be. Through all this, I have felt my confidence grow deeper and the love in my heart grow stronger. And that, more than anything, has kept me on the right road.
Life is a long and difficult journey but we all can take comfort in knowing that we are loved and watched over every step of the way. Let Love guide your steps and you will always be on your own path.

24、We need a varied diet, and one way to do this is by eating all the colors of the rainbow. The proof may be in the Mediterranean diet, which contains a lot of fruit, vegetables and healthy fats. “Eating a traditional Mediterranean diet means you consume different nutrients and phytonutrients,” says Francesco Sofi of the University of Florence. Phytonutrients are small chemical compounds produced by plants that help us digest larger nutrients.
Really, he adds, the colors of the Mediterranean diet are no different to other vegetable-based diets. There’re thus other reasons why it is among the healthiest. For example, Mediterranean populations traditionally boil, rather than fry, their vegetables, which preserves nutrients, Sofi says.
The health benefits of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables on our brain and heart are among the most consistent findings within nutrition science, says Deanna Minich of the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon. Plant foods contain thousands of phytonutrients.
According to Tian-shin Yeh of Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, eating a colorful diet can help people avoid possible side effects of eating too much of one food. “Research has found that orange juice can reduce the risk of cognitive decline, but too much intake is associated with type 2 diabetes,” she says.
Minich argues that the rainbow diet isn’t limited to fruit and vegetables, but includes other natural foods, such as herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, and even tea. She also considers white food as part of the rainbow diet, including tofu. Eating various colors could mean we eat more fruit and vegetables overall.
There’re other ways to get a range of nutrients and phytonutrients from your diet, researchers say. One study found that participants who ate bitter and strong tasting vegetables over 12 weeks had lower blood pressure and blood sugar. It’s also important to consider which parts of the plant you’re eating, says Yeh. “The nutritional values for cabbage and turnip aren’t that similar because one is the leaf and the other one is the root part of the plant,” she says.
【1】What else makes the Mediterranean diet healthy besides its rich content?
A．Its easy availability.
B．Its appealing colors.

【2】What’s a good way to get nutrients and phytonutrients from a diet besides color?

D．Combining different diets every day.

D．By introducing the popularity of the rainbow diet.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
