A
I did an experiment by talking to strangers recently. Here are some things I experienced during the experiment.
On October 9th, while visiting my family hometown for a wedding, I met a man sitting on the side of the hotel pool.We started talking.It turned out that he had just moved to the area with his family from Chicago.I told him what I knew about the community, the schools, and particular neighborhoods where he was looking to buy a house.He was grateful to me for my information.The interaction made me feel useful and valuable.
On May 20th, we had three men from a tree trimming (修剪) company visiting our house to cut back our trees.Normally, I would let them work outside without engaging them in conversation.This time, after they finished their work, I asked one of the tree trimmers, only half-joking, if they fell off trees frequently.One of the tree trimmers said that he had been climbing trees for 27 years and reported he had fallen out of a tree once and hurt his knee.I loved that conversation.I didn't always talk to someone whose job was to climb up trees, but it was interesting for learning about how they did it.I also realized I learned something new.
On May 30th, I went to an outdoor block party on Friday night, along with my wife and our 3-month-old baby.Our baby was wearing oversized noise-cancelling headphones that truly looked pretty ridiculous on a baby.When I tried to talk with others, they immediately started talking with me after seeing the baby.I found it was almost very easy to start talking with people when you had a baby with you.
All in all, I felt great about most of my interactions with strangers.Almost every interaction left me feeling a little happier.I also felt I learned new things by talking to people from different walks of life who I wouldn't normally meet.

B
Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I hate small talk！” the minute you walk into a party If so, you might be an introvert (内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about “small” subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there's a group around.
If you're talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they'll seem to get bored and not say much or they'll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. It's just that they don't like small talk. Here's why.
Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts don't realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don't need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, they'll mull_over different thoughts.
Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to step back. As a result, they'll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.
The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening “lightly” so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they're so quiet.
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了内向的人不喜欢和人闲聊，尤其是面对一群人会不知所措。事实上闲聊是通向深入交谈的大门。
5．How do introverts respond to a chat
A．They try to avoid it.
B．They get excited about it.
C．They give it their full attention.
D．They focus on unimportant topics.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Introverts hate to chat about ‘small’ subjects with people.”及第二段中的“If you're talking to an introvert ...they don't like small talk.”可知，内向的人不喜欢聊天。因此对于聊天常常以回避的方式来回应对方。故选A。
6．What do we know about small talk
A．It goes slowly.
B．It costs people a lot of time.
C．It contributes to deeper topics.
D．It makes no sense.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Small talk serves as a gateway ...the bigger topics.” 可知“闲聊是通向更深入交谈的通道。有些内向的人没有意识到闲聊实际上会帮助他们进入到更大的话题”，由此可知闲聊有助于更深入的话题。故选C。
7．What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Give up. B．Think over.
C．Write down. D．Forget about.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段倒数第二句“But introverts like to ... aloud.”可知，但是内向的人喜欢在大声说出来之前细细咀嚼他们的话，“细细咀嚼”即为仔细考虑。第三段最后一句表示“在他们回答之前，他们会仔细考虑不同的想法”，从而得出画线部分 “mull over”意为“认真琢磨，反复思考”。故选B。
8．How can we become a good talker in small conversations
A．Figure out the deep meaning of questions.
B．Think twice before answering questions.
C．Try to find shared topics.
D．Be a quiet listener.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，闲聊本身就能吸引更多的人加入进来。闲聊就是抛出话题，希望其中一个或多个话题能成为共同的兴趣点。由此可推断出在对话中要成为一个健谈的人，就要试图寻找共同的话题。故选C。

In recent years, traditional opera has encountered the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audiences and was not attractive for young audiences.In order to attract young audiences of new generation and seize the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works.Adaptation and innovation of traditional opera become the important trend of Chinese opera circle.
In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China's traditional Peking Opera is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing, has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music, vocal performance, dance and acrobatics(杂技)．
Tianleyuan has a Jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2,000 audiences members, mostly young people, according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times, so does Jingju，” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer of “the Drunken Beauty”， one of the classic Jingju plays performed in the theater. “I feel today's performance is very special，” Zhang said. She has had 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of Jingju，” said Deng Zhenning, a Jingju lover.
According to Su Rui, vice president of the Peking LUX Shine Culture Media, “Innovation is perhaps the best way for Jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience，” Su said.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Sandi Patty has been a name synonymous (同义的) with Gospel music because of her singing ability since she released her first album in 1979.
Patty's newest book, The Voice, takes a deep dive into parts of her life she's kept private for years. Surprisingly, The Voice is not primarily concerned with Patty's singing voice. Patty was always a talented singer. However, she struggled to find her inner voice and speak up for herself. “I was a shy kid. Words were hard for me，” Patty said.
One of the reasons why Patty found it so difficult to use her voice was a traumatic childhood experience. At age six, she was abused by a friend, an experience she opened up for the first time in the book.
She is sharing the story of her experience now, hoping it will help other people feel less alone. “Feeling alone keeps everybody silent about the tough times in our lives, so we think we're the only ones，” Patty said. She wrote in The Voice that she felt like it was her job to make everyone feel better.
Friendships were essential for helping Patty find the courage to speak up. They reminded her that she didn't need to make others feel better because the people she loved didn't doubt she cared for them.
Friends and family were crucial for helping Patty confront another struggle she faced — shame. She felt unpleasant for insecurities about her weight and her divorce. “I've heard it explain that guilt tells us we have done something wrong and shame says we are wrong，” Patty said.
“I want people to know that their stories and their voices matter，” Patty said. “We have to figure out a way to take our pain away and put it where it needs to be, without letting it guide our lives. Pain is a part of our story. It describes us, but it doesn't need to define us.”

Conflict between young children in any childcare setting is unavoidable.There will always be tension arising from negotiations over toys, friendships, roles and so on. __5__ But when children are supported to resolve conflict in a positive way, it can also lead to fantastic learning experiences.
First of all, it's helpful to set some clear rules for your children.__6__ They could include things like “each child will get a turn to give his side of the story”．Actually, even very small children are capable of resolving their own conflicts, and if possible, they should be left alone to do so.That will give them the best learning experience of all. __7__ If a child is being hurt, or getting particularly upset, or the conflict is out of control in some other way, obviously you need to step in.
__8__ Gather the children together again and restate what happened; get the children to describe it in their own words.Ask them to come up with some ideas for how they might be able to avoid that particular conflict happening again and resolve it by themselves next time.
There are all kinds of reasons why some children are more likely than others to get into conflict on a regular basis. __9__ For example, reinforce (加强) their positive behaviour through descriptive praise, reward charts and so on, but also through more careful observation.
A．These children may need extra support.

C．However, intervention will also be necessary.
D．They may well manage to avoid the crisis by themselves.
E．This can be challenging for childcare workers to deal with.

9．选A 空前一句讲到了“some children are more likely than others to get into conflict”，空后一句通过举例提供了帮助这些孩子加强积极行为的方法。A项中的“These children”指代空前一句中的“some children”，而“extra support”则呼应空后一句中的帮助措施，故A项符合语境。

I went to my first music festival with my friend this summer. Unlike the majority of festival-goers we did not buy tickets. Instead，we volunteered as festival servers for Oxfam. We each worked in exchange for a free ticket to the festival.
Leeds Festival is a large music festival which takes place at Branham Park.It takes place towards the end of August, and thousands of people attend each year. There are several different stages, each suitable for a different music taste. As well as the great music on offer, there are also funfair rides，food outlets and a silent disco. Among these things, I love silent discos: everyone has a set of headphones with two channels and music is played through the headphones. As a result, people can be dancing and singing along to completely different songs!
When we were not working, we were free to enjoy the festival.We saw a wide variety of artists across the weekend. My favorite day was the Sunday — in my opinion, this had，by far，the best lineup (阵容). I really enjoyed seeing Imagine Dragons, Vampire Weekend and, of course, Arctic Monkeys, which are popular bands attracting thousands of people.
Although it was August, I could not believe how cold it was at night! We camped for five nights — a bit longer than the general public — and it was freezing every night! However, we had a really fantastic campsite. People who work at festivals stay in a different campsite to the general public. Our campsite was smaller, quieter and a lot cleaner! I had a great time and will definitely return next year!

I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic crisis. She said a polite“no”．
That didn't stop me. I googled the measurements for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one — keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn't afford lessons again. I passed grade three, and then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I'd played for her. She was in shock.
My school didn't offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement, I was offered a place.
At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.
When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. I feel proud: it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano — what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works, the building blocks that form the pieces.
语篇解读：本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小时候开始酷爱钢琴，但是因为家庭经济原因，买不起、学不起钢琴，通过自己画钢琴格练曲子，自学成才，最后进入了理想音乐学校的故事。5.Why did the author's mom buy him 10 lessons at last

解析：选D 写作意图题。作者在家庭经济状况不佳的情况下，在纸钢琴键盘上进行练习，最后成功进入了世界顶级音乐学校。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励人们坚持自己的梦想。故选D项。

How to protect your ears
You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard. __8__ So no harm done ... right
Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious — and irreversible (不能治愈的) — hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. __9__ But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love.
Ask around.Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you're listening to. __10__ Turn it down.
Buy noise-canceling headphones.A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volume.
Take breaks. __11__ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.
__12__ You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.
A．Use earplugs.
B．Keep the volume below 70 percent.
C．If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.
D．But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.
E．Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.
F．Unfortunately, there's no way to get back hearing you've already lost.
G．The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了几种保护耳朵的方法，包括询问身边的人音乐的音量、购买噪声消除耳机、定时休息和使用耳塞。
8．选D 根据上文可知，某个周五晚上的音乐会让你耳鸣；结合空后一句可知，耳朵似乎并没有受到伤害；据此可推知，空处应表示转折，故D项“但是到了早上，你的听力完全恢复正常”符合语境。
9．选F 根据空后一句可知，但好消息是，有很多方法可以保护你的耳朵免受进一步的伤害，同时还能继续听你喜欢的音乐。据此可推知，空处与此句为转折关系，故F项“不幸的是，你已经丧失的听力无法恢复”符合语境。
10．选C 空处上文是说当你戴上耳塞或耳机时，问一下你身边的朋友是否能听见你听的东西，再结合空后一句可知，C项“如果答案是肯定的，你的音乐太大声了”符合语境。
11．选E 根据该段小标题“Take breaks.”并结合空后一句可知，该段主要建议让耳朵定时休息，故E项与此处匹配。
12．选A 根据文章的结构以及空处所在的位置可知，空处为该段的小标题；根据该段的内容可知，你可以在任何一家药店买到一副便宜的耳塞，可以用于降低音乐会的音量。据此可知，该段主要建议准备一副耳塞，故A项正确。Module 4 课下主题训练 影视、音乐等领域的概况及其发展

At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.
When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. I feel proud: it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano — what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works, the building blocks that form the pieces.
A．She was shocked by his first performance.
B．She had no doubt about his talent for piano.
C．She realized he meant what he said.
D．She suddenly made a fortune.
6．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Honest. B．Determined.
C．Humorous. D．Optimistic.
7．What's the author's main purpose of writing this article
A．To introduce the method of mental practice.
B．To share how he convinced his mom to buy a piano.
C．To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument.
D．To encourage people to stick to their dreams.

How to protect your ears
You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard. __8__ So no harm done ... right
Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious — and irreversible (不能治愈的) — hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. __9__ But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love.
Ask around.Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you're listening to. __10__ Turn it down.
Buy noise-canceling headphones.A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volume.
Take breaks. __11__ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.
__12__ You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.
A．Use earplugs.
B．Keep the volume below 70 percent.
C．If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.
D．But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.
E．Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.
F．Unfortunately, there's no way to get back hearing you've already lost.
G．The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.Module 5 课下主题训练 社会进步与人类文明

History never stops moving.It develops and it is fluid (易变的)．What history looks like today is different from what it looked like a hundred years ago, and what today's history in the making looks like now may be seen differently just 20 years from now.
When combing the past and the present for a list such as the 100 People Who Changed the World, there are criteria to consider, to be sure, but there are no hard and fast rules.There are judgments to be made, but there are no certain truths.Our list was less a hardened document than a current collection — a collection of men and women who, for better and sometimes for worse, have made a clear mark on our civilization.Such a list is by necessity subjective and open to delicious debate.
But while history may be fluid, it does tend to be clarified over time.The significance of Aristotle or Catherine the Great is easy to see from here.And certainly, the importance of some of history's great characters such as Mother Teresa and Pablo Picasso was apparent to their contemporaries.Others were largely invisible in their own time.Their contributions were realized only long after they were gone: Karl Marx died in 1883, many years before his writings would inspire powerful communist societies; Alan Turing, who died lonely and painful, is now regarded as the brilliant father of the computer.
Perhaps the most interesting part of this exercise is thinking about the final impact of present-day figures.Steve Jobs makes the list by virtue of his influence on high tech and our daily lives.But what of Mark Zuckerberg His impact is huge, and he has made it possible for billions of people to come together.But the social media site has also made it easier to drive society apart, upsetting the news business.
Will the moment last Only time will tell.History will move unavoidably forward; our questions today will have answers tomorrow.And lists like these will change — again and again and again.

A
Robots can deliver food on a college campus and get a hole in one on the golf course, but even the most advanced robot can't perform basic social interactions that are critical to everyday human life.
MIT researchers have now incorporated certain social interactions into the framework of robotics, enabling machines to understand what it means to help or hinder (阻碍) one another, and to learn to perform these social behavior on their own.In a simulated environment, a robot watches its companion, guesses what task it wants to accomplish, and then helps or hinders the other robot based on its own goals.The researchers also showed that their model creates realistic and predictable social interactions.When they showed videos of these robots interacting with one another to humans, the human viewers mostly agreed with the model about what type of social behavior was occurring.
Enabling robots to exhibit social skills could lead to smoother and more positive human-robot interactions.For instance, a robot in an assisted living facility could use these capabilities to help create a more caring environment for elderly individuals.The new model may also enable scientists to measure social interactions quantitatively (数量上), which could help psychologists study autism or analyze the effects of antidepressants (抗抑郁药)．
“Robots will live in our world soon enough and they really need to learn how to communicate with us in human terms.They need to understand when it is time for them to help and when it is time for them to see what they can do to prevent something from happening.This is very early work and we are barely scratching the surface, but I feel like this is the first very serious attempt at understanding what it means for humans and machines to interact socially，” says Boris Katz, principal research scientist.

4．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Future Robots on Campus
B．Giving Robots Social Skills
C．New Research about Robots
D．Linking Robots with Humans
解析：选B 标题归纳题。本文首先介绍了目前即便是最先进的机器人也不能进行基本的社交互动，然后介绍了研究人员开始研究、开发机器人的社交能力的过程及意义等。故本文最佳标题为B项。
B
The latest Global Hunger Index report estimates two billion people worldwide suffer from hidden hunger. People who suffer from hidden hunger have enough to eat, but the quality of their food is low. The report warns that food quality is just as important as quantity.
The report lists the countries by the percentage of the population who can't have adequate intake of nutrition, children younger than five years old who weigh less than they should and the death rate of newborn babies. It says 10 of the 14 countries with the worst scores are located south of the Sahara Desert in Africa. More than 60 percent of people there are undernourished. The percentage has doubled in the past ten years and the expected life of people there has fallen by ten years since 1990. People suffer from food insecurity and high unemployment because of climate change and lack of rain in particular.
But the news was not all bad.The report says the number of children under age five who die in sub-Saharan Africa has dropped since 2000, probably because of a decrease in malaria (疟疾) rate. Vietnam's score has dropped more than 75 percent since 1990. The number of underweight children in Vietnam has dropped sharply, and the number of children under five who die has been cut in half.
Eating low-quality food can hurt people as much as not getting enough food. Hidden hunger is very different from the so-called visible hunger. It means lack of micronutrient (微量元素) or vitamins in a person's diet, which can cause long-term and great damage to their mental and physical health. And this is particularly severe for children. This kind of hunger can also weaken the immune system. It can also affect a person's mind and even cause deaths.
The Global Hunger Index reports hidden hunger is happening even as levels of hunger in many developing countries decrease. People can be overweight but still suffer from hidden hunger. To keep fit, they should have a balanced diet and eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. It's high time that countries all over the world should work together to bring an end to hidden hunger.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。根据最新的全球饥饿指数报告，全世界有二十亿人患有隐性饥饿。文章分析了其产生的原因、危害及消除措施。
5．What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A．Two billion people die of hidden hunger every year.
B．Hidden hunger is the most serious food problem worldwide.
C．People who eat poor-quality food can develop hidden hunger.
D．People who suffer from hidden hunger usually have little food to eat.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知，患有隐性饥饿的人有足够的食物吃，但他们的食物质量很差。
6．What does the underlined word “undernourished” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Weak and unhealthy. B．Strong and energetic.
C．Starving. D．In danger.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在语境可知，全球饥饿指数报告列出的14个国家中有10个位于非洲撒哈拉沙漠以南，在那里60 %以上的人营养不良。而本段开头提到“who can't have adequate intake of nutrition”，根据这两处信息可判断答案。
7．What can we infer from the text
A．Fat people will not suffer from hidden hunger.
B．It's necessary for people to eat different types of food.
C．Hidden hunger will disappear as levels of hunger fall.
D．It is impossible to get rid of hidden hunger in the whole world.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的第三句可知，人们应该吃各种不同的食物来汲取各类营养，这样才能消除隐性饥饿。

Consumers who want to help the environment can do so most effectively by reducing consumption. Wrapping paper alternatives can reduce the need for various resources to be consumed. __8__ No matter what the gift is, there is a wrapping paper alternative to make the gift-giving experience even more special.

Robots can deliver food on a college campus and get a hole in one on the golf course, but even the most advanced robot can't perform basic social interactions that are critical to everyday human life.
MIT researchers have now incorporated certain social interactions into the framework of robotics, enabling machines to understand what it means to help or hinder (阻碍) one another, and to learn to perform these social behavior on their own.In a simulated environment, a robot watches its companion, guesses what task it wants to accomplish, and then helps or hinders the other robot based on its own goals.The researchers also showed that their model creates realistic and predictable social interactions.When they showed videos of these robots interacting with one another to humans, the human viewers mostly agreed with the model about what type of social behavior was occurring.
Enabling robots to exhibit social skills could lead to smoother and more positive human-robot interactions.For instance, a robot in an assisted living facility could use these capabilities to help create a more caring environment for elderly individuals.The new model may also enable scientists to measure social interactions quantitatively (数量上), which could help psychologists study autism or analyze the effects of antidepressants (抗抑郁药)．
“Robots will live in our world soon enough and they really need to learn how to communicate with us in human terms.They need to understand when it is time for them to help and when it is time for them to see what they can do to prevent something from happening.This is very early work and we are barely scratching the surface, but I feel like this is the first very serious attempt at understanding what it means for humans and machines to interact socially，” says Boris Katz, principal research scientist.

The latest Global Hunger Index report estimates two billion people worldwide suffer from hidden hunger. People who suffer from hidden hunger have enough to eat, but the quality of their food is low. The report warns that food quality is just as important as quantity.
The report lists the countries by the percentage of the population who can't have adequate intake of nutrition, children younger than five years old who weigh less than they should and the death rate of newborn babies. It says 10 of the 14 countries with the worst scores are located south of the Sahara Desert in Africa. More than 60 percent of people there are undernourished. The percentage has doubled in the past ten years and the expected life of people there has fallen by ten years since 1990. People suffer from food insecurity and high unemployment because of climate change and lack of rain in particular.
But the news was not all bad.The report says the number of children under age five who die in sub-Saharan Africa has dropped since 2000, probably because of a decrease in malaria (疟疾) rate. Vietnam's score has dropped more than 75 percent since 1990. The number of underweight children in Vietnam has dropped sharply, and the number of children under five who die has been cut in half.
Eating low-quality food can hurt people as much as not getting enough food. Hidden hunger is very different from the so-called visible hunger. It means lack of micronutrient (微量元素) or vitamins in a person's diet, which can cause long-term and great damage to their mental and physical health. And this is particularly severe for children. This kind of hunger can also weaken the immune system. It can also affect a person's mind and even cause deaths.
The Global Hunger Index reports hidden hunger is happening even as levels of hunger in many developing countries decrease. People can be overweight but still suffer from hidden hunger. To keep fit, they should have a balanced diet and eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. It's high time that countries all over the world should work together to bring an end to hidden hunger.

A．Two billion people die of hidden hunger every year.
B．Hidden hunger is the most serious food problem worldwide.
C．People who eat poor-quality food can develop hidden hunger.
D．People who suffer from hidden hunger usually have little food to eat.
6．What does the underlined word “undernourished” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Weak and unhealthy. B．Strong and energetic.
C．Starving. D．In danger.
7．What can we infer from the text
A．Fat people will not suffer from hidden hunger.
B．It's necessary for people to eat different types of food.
C．Hidden hunger will disappear as levels of hunger fall.
D．It is impossible to get rid of hidden hunger in the whole world.
