• 3．Every day when Glen Oliver orders his morning coffee at the drive through window of a local cafe，he insists on paying for the order of the person behind him.He also asks the restaurant workers to tell the customer to have a great day，in case they're not already having one.
     Oliver had never made a big deal out of his own generous actions until a letter was published by a news website in November.He found out that he had not just bought someone his breakfast --- he had saved a life.
     According to the website，someone had written a letter stating that on July 18th，he was planning on committing suicide.The writer said that while he was at the drive-through window，he was planning on going home，writing a note and ending his life.When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin，however，the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked up the tab and told him to have a great day.
     "I wondered why someone would buy coffee for a stranger for no reason"，said the writer. "Why me？Why today？If I were a religious man，I would take this as a sign.This random act of kindness was directed at me on this day for a purpose."
     When the writer arrived home，he couldn't hold back his tears and started to think about the simple good deed that had affected him so deeply.
     "I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone.I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out of her car and into the house."
     The writer says that in the months following that fateful event，he does at least one kind thing for others every day "To the nice man in the SUV，thank you from the bottom of my heart.Please know your kind gesture has truly saved a life，" he said. "On July 18，2017，I had the greatest day".

• 4．There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky（威士忌）at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle.When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary，"I never saw a lovelier spot." And she didn't even go fishing.
     Scotland is not easily defjye.aied.In certain moments，this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes.When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light，the rivers，teeming with fish，can turn into streams of gold.As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy，near the Inverlochy Castle，any frustration（煩惱）will float away as gently as the circling water.It's just you and purple，pink，white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony.If you are a newcomer to fishing，learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun.For many，fishing is more than a sport；it is an art.
     Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day's fishing.Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland，the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below Ben Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains.Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains，and reaching its 1343-meter top is a challenge.But it's not just what goes up that matters；what comes down is unique.More than 900 meters high，on the mountain's north face，lies an all-important source of pure water.Its name comes from the Gaelic language "usquebaugh" or "water of life"；and it is the single most important ingredient（原料）in Scotland's best known drink：whisky.
  
  （1）The story of Queen Victoria is to show that

  .
  A．the Queen was rich in tour experience
  B．the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
  C．tasting whisky is better than going fishing
  D．1873 was a special year for the Queen
  （2）How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed？

  
  A．By giving descriptions.
  B．By following time order.
  C．By analyzing causes.
  D．By making comparisons.
  （3）What is Ben Nevis special for？

  
  A．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.
  B．The beauty of its surroundings.
  C．The water from the mountain.
  D．The challenge up to its top.
  （4）What is the main purpose of the passage？

  
  A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
  B．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
  C．To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
  D．To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

• 5．Processed foods like chips，sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt，sugar，and fat.Now，scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans.
     Scientists have already linked low-cost，packaged foods to rising obesity rates around the world.Obesity increases the risk of many health problems.Three recent studies offer more clues on how our increasingly industrialized food supply may be affecting our health.
     The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups.The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives（添加劑）.Sodas，packaged cookies，instant noodles and chicken nuggets（雞肉塊）are some examples of highly processed foods.But also included are products that can seem healthy，such as morning cereals，energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.
     Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people.They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods.That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods.The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted.They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed.In another study，researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease.A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.
     When fed less processed foods，people in the study produced more of a hormone that controls hunger，and less of a hormone that causes hunger.The reason for the reaction is not clear.The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly.Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study.He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow.Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference.For example，fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.
     Avoiding processed foods can be hard，especially for people with limited time and money.Processed foods can also take many forms.In addition，companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier.The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods.But，they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.
  
  （1）What kind of food do energy bars belong to？

  
  A．Fairly health-friendly foods.
  B．Especially beneficial foods.
  C．Relatively high-cost foods.
  D．Highly processed foods.
  （2）What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．It does harm to people potentially.
  B．It can often result in death.
  C．It makes people get less calories.
  D．It makes little difference to people's health.
  （3）What is more likely to make people feel full？

  
  A．Fiber added to packaged foods.
  B．Fiber from fruit and vegetables.
  C．Highly processed foods like instant noodles.
  D．Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Different Kinds of Processed Foods
  B．Recent Studies on Processed Foods
  C．How Bad Processed Foods Are!
  D．Advantages and Disadvantages of Processed Foods
