D.The customers at a lunch believed that you should take your time to drink red wine.
To test the idea, twelve university students offered their help to medical science and sat down to a meal washed down with three large glasses of Bordeaux. Four hours later, the scientists found that the red wine was still at work in their veins providing significant protection against the effects of cholesterol (胆固醇).
Simon Maxwell is careful not to recommend wine drinking for health reasons, because of the other undesirable effects of alcohol. He hopes that tile research may enable scientists to isolate the elements which have good effects so that they can be provided, perhaps as tablets, with no damaging effect on the liver or brain.
The news is not so good for those who prefer other drinks. White wine is only five to ten times as effective as blood in resisting oxidization and beer is even less effective.
It was the fact that French eat as much cholesterol as the British but have a quarter of the amounts of heart disease which made the research.
Which drink is the least effective to provide antioxidant protection?
A.White wine.
B.Beer.
C.The mixture of beer and red wine.
D.Red wine.
听力原文:W: My dear, what a charming restaurant! It has such an old country air about it.
M: Yes, it's one of the best Italian restaurants in town. The decor is pleasant, the music good, and the food delicious.
W: Is that the owner's wife over there? She's dressed in the very latest European fashion.
M: She is the owner. She and her family go to Italy every year to keep in touch with the trends in fashion and food, and in decor too. But she doesn't actually change the food or decor here very much. Constant change would be upsetting to the customers. Be sides, the customers expect certain characteristics in an Italian restaurant, and she can't change those, or the restaurant would Jose some of its appeal to the customers.
W: Like the red and white tablecloths, you mean?
M: Exactly. And the music. But, however conservative she is in the restaurant, she always wears the latest style. in clothing. The latest dignified style, of course.
W: Yes, Well, what shall we order?
M: I'd suggest an appetizer, and then I% having either seafood or chicken, since I had red meat last night.
W: I think I'd like to try this flounder dish.
M: Good. Shall we order wine?
W: Yes, let's have a white wine.
M: OK. I'll get this chicken dish. Would you like to have pastry and coffee for dessert?
W: Yes, if I'm not too full by that time. Let's hold off ordering the dessert until later.

Chocolate is produced from beans that contain large amounts of natural substances called flavonoids. Flavonoids have been shown to protect the heart and the blood vessels from damage.
Recent studies have linked foods that contain flavonoids with a reduced chance of developing heart disease. These foods include tea, red wine, apples, peanuts and chocolate.
Research has shown that forty grams of milk chocolate contain about four-hundred milligrams of flavonoids. That is about the same amount as in a glass of red wine. The same amount of dark choc-olate contains more than eight-hundred milligrams of flavonoids. That is about the same amount as in a cup of black tea.
A study by researchers at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania found that the flavonoids in chocolate are more powerful than some vitamins in limiting the damage from fats in the blood. A German study recently showed that the flavonoids in chocolate also could stop damage to blood vessel walls. And a University of California study showed that flavonoids from chocolate produce nitric acid in the blood. Nitric acid helps protect the walls of blood vessels.
A study by Cesar Fraga of the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina confirmed healthy activity in the blood after eating dark chocolate. Carl Keen of the University of California at Davis also carried out studies about flavonoids. The studies showed that foods high in flavonoids may help stop thickening of the blood that can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Mister Keen gave water, cocoa or non-alcoholic red wine to groups of ten men and women. Researchers tested their blood a few hours later. Both the wine and cocoa delayed the time it took for the blood to become solid. Only the cocoa protected platelets in the blood from becoming too sticky and breaking.
