FAST FOOD FACTS
 There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the US. Why is fast food so popular? Because it’s convenient, predictable, and fast. Fast food has become a part of the busy American lifestyle. But, nutrition experts point out, fast food is often high in calories, sodium, fat and cholesterol. This does not mean fast food is bad. But it does mean you should fit fast food into a balanced, healthy diet. On the average, to maintain desirable weight, men need about 2,700 calories per day and women need about 2,000 calories per day. It is not well understood why some people can eat much more than others and still maintain a desirable weight. However, one thing is certain - to lose weight, you must take in fewer calories than you burn. This means that you must either choose foods with fewer calories, or you must increase your physical activity, preferably both. Most Americans get more than 40 percent of their daily calories from fat. The American Heart Association recommends limiting fat to less than 50-80 grams per day. Fast food meals can be high in calories, fat, sodium, and cholesterol. 
 Lately, fast-food chains have noticed that consumers are more health-conscious, and as a result, many chains are adding healthier choices to their menus.

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the following questions.
THE SCIENCE OF AVIATION
 Captain John Paul Stapp, already a medical doctor, began his scientific career in the 1940s studying the negative effects of high-altitude flight, issues absolutely critical to the future of aviation. How could men survive these conditions? The problem of the bends, the deadly formation of bubbles in the bloodstream, proved the toughest, but after 65 hours in the air, Stapp found an answer. If a pilot breathed pure oxygen for 30 minutes prior to take-off, symptoms could be avoided entirely. This was an enormous breakthrough. The sky now truly was the limit. The discovery pushed Stapp to the forefront of the Aero Med Lab and he abandoned his plans to become a pediatrician, instead deciding to dedicate his life to research. The Lab's mandate, to study medical and safety issues in aviation, was a perfect match for his talents. It was the premiere facility in the world for the new science of biomechanics.
 Stapp was assigned the Lab's most important research project: human deceleration. This was the study of the human body's ability to withstand G forces, the force of gravity, when bailing out of an aircraft. In April 1947, Stapp travelled to Los Angeles to view the 'human decelerator', a rocket sled designed to run along a special track and then come to a halt with the aid of 45 sets of normal hydraulic brakes, which slowed it from 150 miles per hour to half of that speed in one fifth of a second. When it did, G forces would be produced equivalent to those experienced in an airplane crash. The sled was called the 'Gee Whiz'. Built out of welded tubes, it was designed to withstand 100 Gs of force, way beyond the 18 Gs that accepted theory of the time thought survivable. Early tests were conducted using a dummy, but Stapp soon insisted that conditions were right to use himself as a human guinea pig.
 Exercising a modicum of caution on the first ride in December 1947, Stapp used only one rocket. The Gee Whiz barely reached 90 miles an hour, and the deceleration was only about 10 Gs. So Stapp began to increase the number of rockets, and by August 1948, he had completed 16 runs, surviving not just 18 Gs but a bone-jarring 35 Gs.
 Battered though he was by the tests, Stapp was reluctant to allow anyone else to ride the Gee Whiz. He feared that if certain people, especially test pilots, were used, their hotheadedness might produce a disaster. Volunteers made some runs, but whenever a new approach was developed, Stapp was his own one and only choice as test subject. There was one obvious benefit: Stapp could write extremely accurate physiological and psychological reports concerning the effects of his experiments.
 Yet while the Gee Whiz allowed Stapp to answer the existing deceleration questions, new ones emerged. What could be done to help pilots ejecting from supersonic aircraft to survive? Stapp set out to find the answer on a new sled called Sonic Wind No. 1, which could travel at 750 miles per hour, and withstand an astonishing 150 Gs. In January 1954, Stapp embarked on a series of runs leading to his 29th and final ride, which took him to above the speed of sound, protected only by a helmet and visor. And when the sled stopped, in a mere 1.4 seconds, Stapp was subjected to more Gs than anyone had ever willingly endured. He wasn't just proving that people could survive a high-speed ejection, he was establishing the parameters of human survivability to G force: new biological boundaries were being set.
 That successful run on 10 December 1954 provided Colonel Stapp with an opportunity he had longed for - to promote the cause of automobile safety. Stapp had long realised that his research was just as applicable to cars as it was to airplanes. At every opportunity, Stapp urged the car industry to examine his crash data, and to design their cars with safety in mind. He lobbied hard for the installation of seat belts and improvements such as collapsing steering wheels.
 'I'm leading a crusade for the prevention of needless deaths,' he told Time magazine in 1955. Stapp's work in aeronautics and automobiles continued right up until his death in 1999 at age 89. He had received numerous awards and honours. But the best was the knowledge that his work had helped to save many lives, not just in aviation, but on highways around the world.

B. He felt his powers of observation were superior to those of other people.
C. He had little faith in the overall safety of the equipment.

 In the Bahamas, Junkanoo is held on December 26 and January 1. The Bahamas are islands that make up a nation in the Atlantic Ocean near Florida. Junkanoo begins before the sun comes up. That's when the Junkanoo parade starts. Dancers in costumes take to the streets. People along the parade route are invited to join in with the dancers. Junkanoo grew popular during the 16th and 17th centuries. African slaves were given a special holiday after Christmas. They were allowed to leave the fields and observe the holiday with their families. They celebrated with African music, dance, and costumes. After the slaves were freed, people in the Bahamas continued the Junkanoo tradition.
 In Mexico, El Dia de Los Muertos ("Day of the Dead") isn't about ghosts. It is about remembering relatives and life. On the Day of the Dead, family members gather in cemeteries. They decorate family members' graves with colourful flowers. They tell stories about past relatives. They also have a picnic with lots of great food. On this holiday, death is not seen as something to fear. Instead, it is seen as just another part of life. "Our relatives wouldn't want us to cry," said Miguel, a Mexican boy. "So we are happy instead. " The Day of the Dead is held on the first or second of November.

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions.
 Some people assume that medieval castles served as homes for the wealthy and powerful. Although this is true, it is not the whole truth. Castles were communities made up of the wealthy owners, nobles, religious leaders, merchants, and farmers. The building itself was only a part of the castle. Thick walls extended around the castle structure and the village that sat next to the castle.
 Castles played an important role in feudalism. The word "castle" comes from a Latin word that means fortress. A castle helped a king or vassal defend the land where the castle stood. It also served as a place to house the king or vassal’s army, weapons, and food. A castle was also the center of local government. Although they were frequently attacked, castles were the safest dwellings of the time. A castle was typically built on the top of a hill to protect the community from invasions. Soldiers on the walls kept a lookout for attacking armies.
 Life inside the castle walls was difficult and crowded. There was not much land to build on, so people built houses that were narrow and tall. Many buildings were five or six stories. Streets were also narrow and dirty. People would throw their garbage and waste out into the streets. Disease spread quickly. At night the streets were dark and unsafe. People would rarely go out after dark without their servants. When they did, they carried torches or candles. Fire was one of the greatest dangers for a medieval town. Most houses were made of wood. Only the wealthy had stone and houses. One city in France burned to the ground six times between 1200 and 1255 CE!
 Despite the many risks, people lived in castle communities because of the protection that was offered them by the nobles who built the castle and provided military support. Lords and ladies also benefited from the townsfolk who provided food and goods. The castle system was interdependent between the wealthy and the poor. They both needed each other to survive and thrive.
43: The first paragraph introduces the topic of castles by......
A. comparing nobles to farmers	B. summarizing the threats faced by castle communities
C. defining the word "castle"	D. describing how dirty castles were
44: Buildings inside castle walls were namow and tall......
