单项选择题

听力原文:W: Hi, Jim. Have you ever read the works of Ernest Hemingway?
M: Oh, I like Hemingway very much, his style, the Hemingway theme with a Hemingway hero.
W: You are really my bosom friend. Yes. Hemingway wrote all his life about one theme, that is 'grace under pressure'. The world Hemingway created is a world of violence, despair and death, a world in which man cannot find the meaning of life.
M: Yes. I have the same feeling with you. But his hero is not a coward, a weeper. In face of inevitable defeat, keeping a stiff upper-lip means a kind of victory.
W: So he often has stoic endurance. Even in defeat he can maintain some dignity; in spite of defeat he continues to fight with the despairing courage, which enables him to behave like a man, to assert his dignity in face of adversity. From him we can see the spirit of the noble--Hemingway type of individualism.
M: It is a kind of tragic beauty. I am deeply touched by their spirit, even though it's futile to fight.
W: At least they give us a stir, give us an inspiration: never give up.
M: Yes. Hemingway is a myth in his own times, and a myth in American literature. But he ended his life to the whole world's shock.
W: He died a strong man, a hero. Few have such a despairing courage, and he did this with 'grace under pres sure'.

In this experiment, the scientists are studying the relationship between the mount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in 3 groups. All the 3 groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating I cup of food each day, the second is eating 2 cups, and the third group of mice is eating 3 cups.
