    What will you vote for? English or another language should be in the U.S.? I think that other languages are useful, too. People will get hurt if there was only English. People that speak other languages will get misunderstood.

If it was only English we would not have won World War II. The soldiers used the Navajo language to trick Hitler and soldiers. Hitler was killing all Jewish people, but the soldiers tricked Hitler and saved the Jewish people by using the Navajo language.

In America we have learned new scientific discoveries. If it was only English, we would not find some new scientific discoveries in this world. For example, Severo Ochoa discovered a synthesis of RNA and spoke Spanish.

If people in America speak only English, we won’t comprehend what others are saying and we are unlikely to trade with people speaking other languages.

Without other languages we wouldn’t have books or music from other countries. For example, The Diary of Anne Frank was written in Dutch and had to be translated to English. It’s important to have a book like this because it talks about history from the perspective of Anne Frank, a girl who died in a concentration camp. Only she could have written that story.

God made us speak different languages and nobody can make this world only speak English except God. I think God created different languages because He wanted a variety of people. For example, there are different kinds of animals, plants, cultures and food. Having different languages isn’t bad because all cultures have positive things to give us.

A.the soldiers were tricky in the war.

D.They can enjoy books or music written by Anne Frank.

3.How is the passage developed?

    Have you ever wondered why some days all you want to do is snack?

Under normal circumstances, we feel hungry when we have burnt up the food we have eaten as energy and our blood sugar and insulin (胰岛素)levels begin to drop. Ghrelin, a hormone connected to appetite, then communicates this to the brain, which is how we feel the need to eat. But some sorts of things can influence this process. 

According to a 2011 study by researchers at Columbia University in the US, those who are lack of sleep eat almost 300 calories a day more than those who get enough sleep. This is because levels of the hormone ghrelin, which tells the brain we need to eat, increase when we don’t get enough sleep.The Columbia researchers noted that the women who didn’t get enough sleep took in more fat rising by around 30g on sleep-lack daysfour times as much as the average increase for men. 

The bright blue light emitted by devices such as smartphones and tablets may give an unwelcome encouragement to your appetite. Research this year found that your appetite continued to increase when you are exposed to the light. It also changed people’s metabolism(新陈代谢), as blood tests showed that the blue-light subjects had higher insulin and glucose levels. One possible explanation is that bright blue light at night confuses our body clock, which has a role in controlling when we feel the need to eat.

1.What really causes people to feel hungry?

A.Our brain. B.A hormone. C.Our appetite. D.Blood sugar.

2.Which of the following is true?

A.Women take in fat easily.

B.Lack of sleep may lead to hunger.

C.The body clock does harm to hunger.

D.Blue-light subjects control appetite.

3.What does the underlined word “emitted” mean in Paragraph 4?

A.Broken out. B.Picked up. C.Taken place. D.Given off.

4.What is the purpose of the passage?

A.To analyse a food study.

B.To report the situation of health.

C.To tell the factors influencing hunger.

D.To introduce the importance of snack.
