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.
Dr. Andrew McCulloeh agrees that______.

选项 A、our diets are closely related to our mental health
B、the present study needs more facts and other information
C、the UK population will become ill in the near future
D、more saturated fats and sugars should be taken in

答案A

解析 根据倒数第二段"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. "可推知,Andrew McCulloch博士也认为食物和心理健康之间有非常紧密的联系。根据最后两段可知,文中并未提及B项,所以B项不正确;根据最后—段"He added people’ s diets are becoming increasingly unhealthy. The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated fats and sugars. "可知,Andrew McCulloeh博士认为人们的饮食变得很不健康,并没有说英国的人们在不久的将来会生病,所以C项不正确;根据最后一段最后一句可知,英国的人们摄入太多的饱和脂肪和糖,这是对上一句“人们饮食变得不健康”的进一步解释,Andrew McCulloeh博士并没有赞成这种做法,所以D项不正确。故选A。
