问题    Eating a diet high in processed (加工过的) food increases the risk of depression, a study suggests. What’ s more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.
   Data on diet among 3500 middle-aged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported. They split the participants into two types of diet—those who ate a diet largely based on wholefood (全天然食物) , which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high fat dairy products. After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic (慢性的) diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets.
   Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood. By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed food.
   Study author Dr. Archana Singh Manoux pointed out there was a chance that the finding could be explained by the lifestyle factor they had not accounted for. He also pointed in a paper that a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression, but the problem with that is if you live in Britain, the likelihood of eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.
   Dr. Andrew McCulloeh, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said, this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.
   He added people’ s diets are becoming increasingly unhealthy. The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated fats and sugars.
What can we learn from what Dr. Archana Singh Manoux said?

选项 A、It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean diet.
B、The Mediterranean diet is the most healthy in the world.
C、Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet before.
D、The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression.

答案A

解析 根据第四段最后一句“…but the problem with that is if you live in Britain,the likelihood of eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.”可知,如果你生活在英国,你吃到地中海式食物的可能性并不高。由此可推知,大部分英国人都很难吃到地中海式食物。故选A。
