Once there was a king. He was so cruel that the people planned to drive him out of the country. The plan was discovered, and the king ordered that the leaders of the plan be put to death. One of the leaders, Damon, asked the king to allow him to go home and say goodbye to his family before he was put to death. He promised he would come back to be killed.
However, the king didn’t believe Damon would keep his promise, and he said, “I won’t let you go unless you find a friend to stay in your place. Then, if you are not back by the date of your execution (死刑), I will kill your friend instead.” The king thought no one would take the place of Damon.
Damon had a friend named Pythias who offered to stay in prison while Damon went away. The king was surprised, but he had given his word. So Damon went home, while Pythias went to prison.
Many days passed and the time of the execution was coming. But Damon hadn’t returned. The king said to Pythias, “Your friend won’t return.”
“You are wrong,” said Pythias. “Damon will be here if he can possibly come. However, I love my friend so much and I’m hoping that he won’t return until after
I die.”
The day of the execution arrived, but still Damon didn’t come. So Pythias was brought to the scaffold (绞刑台). Just then a man showed up. It was Damon. He hugged his friend and said, “Oh, my friend, I was so worried that I was too late.”
The king was so touched by the unselfish friendship of the two men that he set them both free.

If you miss out a meal, do you ever notice yourself starting to get angry or annoyed very easily? Well, this is often known as being “hangry” or being angry because you are very hungry.
As it turns out, it’s not just a funny phrase, but it is scientifically true! Scientists found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose (葡萄糖) levels in the blood. Glucose is put into the body after you eat.
The brain also needs this to work correctly. When the body is low on glucose, the brain sends hormones (激素) to increase the amount of glucose in the body.
Brenda Bustillos, a dietitian at Texas A&M University, US, says this makes it hard for a person to control their feelings.
“Hunger leads to high stress hormones,” said Bustillos, “which makes it hard to manage our feelings.”
Amanda Salis, PhD, University of Sydney, says that we may also be able to thank our ancestors (祖先) for our hanger. Salis says that long ago when there was not much food, people had to be aggressive to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live.
So even now when most people have enough food to eat, there is still that aggressive feeling toward needing food.
( )41. From Paragraph 1, we learn that “ hangry ” ______.
A. is “angry” spelled wrong
B. is the wrong word for “hungry”
C. means that one is very hungry
D. means being angry because of hunger
( )42. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Glucose in your body comes from the food you eat.
B. People may get angry easily because of low glucose levels.
C. Hormones can increase the amount of glucose in the body.
D. Hunger can cause high stress hormones in the brain.
( )43. What does the underlined word “aggressive” in the passage mean in Chinese?
A. 好斗的
B. 分享的
C. 自私的
D. 坚强的
( )44. The passage mainly talks about ______.
A. the reasons for getting angry
B. the science behind being hangry
C. the changes of brain chemicals
D. the importance of food
( )45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Why do people feel hungry?
B. Being “hungry” or being angry
C. Where does hunger come from?
D. Anger comes hand in hand with hunger

Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. Unluckily, he started to walk towards San Pedro but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.

Once there was a king. He was so cruel that the people planned to drive him out of the country. The plan was discovered, and the king ordered that the leaders of the plan be put to death. One of the leaders, Damon, asked the king to allow him to go home and say goodbye to his family before he was put to death. He promised he would come back to be killed.
However, the king didn’t believe Damon would keep his promise, and he said, “I won’t let you go unless you find a friend to stay in your place. Then, if you are not back by the date of your execution (死刑), I will kill your friend instead.” The king thought no one would take the place of Damon.
Damon had a friend named Pythias who offered to stay in prison while Damon went away. The king was surprised, but he had given his word. So Damon went home, while Pythias went to prison.
Many days passed and the time of the execution was coming. But Damon hadn’t returned. The king said to Pythias, “Your friend won’t return.”
“You are wrong,” said Pythias. “Damon will be here if he can possibly come. However, I love my friend so much and I’m hoping that he won’t return until after
I die.”

If you miss out a meal, do you ever notice yourself starting to get angry or annoyed very easily? Well, this is often known as being “hangry” or being angry because you are very hungry.
As it turns out, it’s not just a funny phrase, but it is scientifically true! Scientists found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose (葡萄糖) levels in the blood. Glucose is put into the body after you eat.
The brain also needs this to work correctly. When the body is low on glucose, the brain sends hormones (激素) to increase the amount of glucose in the body.
Brenda Bustillos, a dietitian at Texas A&M University, US, says this makes it hard for a person to control their feelings.
“Hunger leads to high stress hormones,” said Bustillos, “which makes it hard to manage our feelings.”
Amanda Salis, PhD, University of Sydney, says that we may also be able to thank our ancestors (祖先) for our hanger. Salis says that long ago when there was not much food, people had to be aggressive to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live.
So even now when most people have enough food to eat, there is still that aggressive feeling toward needing food.
( )41. From Paragraph 1, we learn that “ hangry ” ______.
A. is “angry” spelled wrong
B. is the wrong word for “hungry”
C. means that one is very hungry
D. means being angry because of hunger
( )42. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Glucose in your body comes from the food you eat.
B. People may get angry easily because of low glucose levels.
C. Hormones can increase the amount of glucose in the body.
D. Hunger can cause high stress hormones in the brain.
( )43. What does the underlined word “aggressive” in the passage mean in Chinese?
A. 好斗的
B. 分享的
C. 自私的
D. 坚强的
( )44. The passage mainly talks about ______.
A. the reasons for getting angry
B. the science behind being hangry
C. the changes of brain chemicals
D. the importance of food
( )45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Why do people feel hungry?
B. Being “hungry” or being angry
C. Where does hunger come from?
D. Anger comes hand in hand with hunger

While waiting for the tow truck, he fell asleep. While he was sleeping, a tow truck arrived from San Pedro, the nearest town, and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. Unluckily, he started to walk towards San Pedro but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.
