• 5．Food Festivals Around the World Stilton Cheese Rolling
     May Day is a traditional day for celebrations，but the 2，000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four，dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes，roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.On the way，they must not kick or throw their cheese，or go into their competitors' lane（賽道）.Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos （disappointingly，but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones）.All the competitors are served with beer or port wine，the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
     Fiery Foods Festival- The Hottest Festival on Earth
     Every year more than 10，000 people head for the city of Albuquerque，New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia，the Caribbean and China，but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy（辛辣的），but hot enough to make your mouth burn，your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper- officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue，this festival isn't for you!
     La Tomatina- The World's Biggest Food Fight
     On the last Wednesday of every August，the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina-the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
     The battle lasts little more than half an hour，in which time around 50，000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves，runs，or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again- and for a much-needed wash!

• 6．Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies.Many graduation ceremonies look special and different.But for Melody，it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her - her grandmother，75-year-old Pat Ormond.They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga （UTC） and graduated together.
      Pat took her first college class 42 years ago.After one semester，she dropped out to move to Chattanooga，where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family.While she did take an occasional class at UTC，she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree，especially after she retired.She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College.They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
      Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC's 2020 class.The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
      "We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother，Pat Ormond，in the UTC class of 2020，" said Steven，UTC Chancellor. "Together，they personify the determination，commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate."
      Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. "Learning never stops，" Pat said. "That's something that my father taught me when I was young.No matter what you do，learning never stops." Pat isn't planning to stop anytime soon.She's already working on another degree-a bachelor's degree in history.
      Meanwhile，her granddaughter，who is hunting jobs，is interested in getting a master's degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer.But she says she's in no rush.Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time.
  
  （1）Why was Melody's graduation ceremony so special？

  
  A．Because her grandmother graduated alongside her.
  B．Because her grandmother was 75 years old.
  C．Because it looked quite different from others.
  D．Because she celebrated it with all her classmates.
  （2）What can we know about Pat's family？

  
  A．They are anxious to be celebrities.
  B．They prefer attending non-traditional colleges.
  C．They never stop creating opportunities.
  D．They support and encourage each other.
  （3）What does the underlined word "personify" in Paragraph 4 mean？

  
  A．Repeat.
  B．Represent.
  C．Identify.
  D．Follow.
  （4）Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond's story？

• 7．"Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday？" Lindsey whispers to Tori.
     With her eyes shining，Tori brags，"You bet I did，Sean told me two days ago. "
     Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about？It just happened to be yours truly，Adam Freedman.I can tell you that what they are saying is（a）not nice and（b）not even true.Still，Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School，including me.Many of our conversations are gossip（閑話）.I have noticed three effects of gossip：it can hurt people，it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction，and it can cause social pressures in a group.
     An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.Usually，gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups，trouble at home，even dropping out–that a person would rather keep secret.The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes.Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie.People often think of gossipers as harmless，but cruel lies can cause pain.
     If we know that gossip can be harmful，then why do so many of us do it？The answer lies in another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives us.Sharing the latest rumor（傳言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't.Similarly，hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the "in group".In other words，gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority（優(yōu)越感）.
     The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation.The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news，think about why you want to gossip and what effects your "juicy story" might have.
  
  （1）Why is a conversation given at the beginning of the passage？

  
  A．To introduce a topic.
  B．To present an argument.
  C．To tell a story.
  D．To clarify the writing purpose.
  （2）What important negative effect does gossip have？

  
  A．Breaking up relationships.
  B．Embarrassing the listener.
  C．Causing unpleasant experiences.
  D．Spreading information around.
  （3）Why do many people like to gossip？

  
  A．It gives them a feeling of pleasure.
  B．It helps them make more friends.
  C．It makes them better at telling stories.
  D．It enables them to meet important people.

第三節(jié) 選句填空

• 9．The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward，the risk seems worth taking. （1）

  Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why？Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work？
     The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting，fighting，or exploring. （2）

  As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next，humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
     So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then？Well，even 200，000 years ago，too much risk-taking could get one killed.A few daring survived，though，along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.As a result，humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing，or maybe you hate it. （3）

  
     No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range，scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. （4）

  To help you do that，your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks，so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
     （5）

  For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active，while for the rest of us，a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
     As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking，we'll continue to hit the mountains，the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
  
  A.It all depends on your character.
  B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.
  C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
  D.Thus，these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
  E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
  F.However，we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
  G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
