(16)On the sofa or lying in bed feeling ill? Chances are you’re tucking into some hot soup to help you feel better. It’s what your grandparents would have done, their grandparents and generations before that.
     (17)As far back as the 12th century, physicians were recommending chicken soup to combat a cold. Modern science has since found their instincts were largely right and it can be soothing and anti-inflammatory for those with colds.(17)It was still the same in the 16th century, when common wisdom was to give "nourishing, light and easily digested food" to the sick. Soups were recommended. The nutritional benefits are obvious. A healthy soup provides an easy way to digest the nutrients we need, especially when we’re ill.(16)There’s more than that. The psychological links people have with food do stem from childhood. That is a connection we make on a subconscious level as we grow up, so when we want to feel comforted we look to what our mothers would have provided. Over time we build up food associations with our homes—we like to think of them as warm and cozy. There’s a definite tie there to our appreciation of warm and comforting food. Not many recipes are still handed down through generations, but soup is one of them, with ancient recipes for soup remaining very similar to those in modern cookbooks.(18)People believe that there are emotional reasons for this. When we take soup to people in tough times, there’s something about it that means we are bringing comfort to them because it takes an enormous amount of care inside.

C、What soup we should have when we feel ill.
D、How soup originated and developed.

答案B

解析 本题问的是讲话者谈论的主题。短文开头提到“是不是生病了,正躺在沙发上或床上?极有可能你正在喝热汤,好让自己好受些。”接着讲话者提到喝汤是为了早日恢复健康,然后又提到人们喝汤还因为在人们心中,其与家庭的温暖相关联,因此在别人落难时送汤,会给别人带来安慰。由此可见,本文的主题就是人们在生病时和需要安慰时为什么要喝汤。
