A
In our daily life, it’s the unexpected acts of kindness that often bring us the most joy. This is a story about one such act that occurred in the most unlikely of places — a crowded airplane. It’s a reminder that despite the chaos, there’s always time for sympathy, something Kelsey Zwick and her baby experienced in person.
The mom was traveling to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with her daughter, who required special medical attention due to her premature birth. The journey was filled with the extra luggage of medical equipment and the concerns of a caring mother. As they were settled into their economy seats, a flight attendant approached with the sweetest offer. Just at that time, a first — class passenger noticed them and wanted to offer his seat, hoping it would provide more comfort for them. On hearing that, Zwick was moved to tears by the gesture.
The flight proceeded smoothly with Zwick and her daughter enjoying the unexpected comfort of first class. However, upon landing, Zwick was unable to find the man, as they lost each other in the crowd. Determined to thank him appropriately, she detailed the encounter, from the struggles of traveling with a baby and medical equipment to the heartfelt exchange with the stranger. Then she posted online the message, expressing thanks and recognition of the man’s generosity.
The story, once shared, caught fire online, receiving over 579,000 shares. The viral nature of this post eventually led to the airline connecting Zwick with the benefactor, Jason Kunselman. In an interview, Kunselman humbly shared his perspective, stressing the importance of kindness. This encounter between Zwick and Kunselman serves as a powerful reminder of the impact a simple act of kindness can have. It’s a call to action for all of us to be more observant and considerate of those around us.

2. Why did Zwick want to find the man
A. To give him the extra fee. B. To express her gratitude.
C. To praise his generosity. D. To make an apology to him.

We all know eating ultra-processed foods that make our lives easier — such as sauces, and frozen pizza — isn’t good for our health. Studies have found they can raise our risk of obesity, heart problems, diabetes and cancer. They may even shorten our lives. Now, a new study has revealed eating more ultra-processed foods may contribute to overall cognitive decline, including the brain executive functioning — the ability to process information and make decisions.
“While in need of further study, the new results are quite compelling and emphasize the critical role for proper nutrition in preserving and promoting brain health and reducing risk for brain diseases,“ said Tanzi, professor at Harvard Medical School. He was not involved in the study but he said in his book, “They, are, very high in sugar, salt and fat, promoting systemic inflammation, perhaps the most major threat to healthy aging. Meanwhile, since they are convenient and quick, they also replace fiber foods important for maintaining the health and balance of bacteria in your gut,” he added, “which is particularly important for brain health and reducing risk of age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer’
The study, presented at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, followed over 10,000 Brazilians for 10 years. “In Brazil, ultra-processed foods make up 25% to 30% of total calorie intake. We have McDonald’s and Burger King. It is not very different from many other Western countries,” said coauthor Dr. Suemoto. Ultra-processed foods are defined as ”industrial formulations of food substances containing little or no whole foods and typically include flavorings, colorings and other chemical additives“ according to the study.
“People consuming over 20% of daily calories from processed foods had a 28% faster decline in global cognition and a 25% faster decline in executive functioning compared to people who not,” said study coauthor Natalia. Those in the study who ate the most ultra-processed foods ware “more likely to be younger, women, White, had higher education and incomes, and were more likely to have never smoked,” the study found.
“People need to know they should cook more,” Suemoto said. “And it’s worth it because you’re going to protect your heart and guard your brain,” she added.
5. What does the underlined word “compelling” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Convincing. B. Surprising. C. Suspicious. D. Invaluable.
6. What do we know from the passage
A. Whoever never cooks is sure to develop Alzheimer.
B. Ultra-processed foods only affect your executive function.
C. Tanzi is the first to find the problem with Ultra-processed foods.
D. Brazilians’calorie intake is not different from most westerners.
7. Who is likely to eat more ultra-processed foods
A. An old beggar. B. A heavy smoker. C. A young professor. D. A low-income man.
8. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Ultra-processed foods can harm your health.
B. Fiber foods can reduce the risk of Alzheimer.
C. Fiber foods may maintain the balance of bacteria.
D. Ultra-processed foods will lead to cognitive decline.
