*Question*
Read the article and select the best answer. Article: There have never been many adventurers. You can read stories about men called adventurers. But they were really businessmen. There was something they wanted----- a lady, or money, or a country, or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventurer is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet. There have been many half-adventurers. And they were great men. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure. In the big city of New York, Romance and Adventure are always waiting. As we walk along the street, they are watching us. We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street, we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door, instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner, eyes look toward us, or hands are raised, or fingers point. Adventure is offered. But few of us are ready to accept. We are ready to do only the things we do every day. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on; and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then, when it is too late, we are sorry that we have never known true Romance and Adventure. Question: The passage doesn't mention it, but we can infer from the passage that when most people meet an offer of adventure, they will _ . Options: A: grow angry but curious B: accept the offer C: grow embarrassed and reject the offer D: be frightened and cry for help.

Any breakfast is better than no breakfast, but try not to have hamburgers or dessert all the time. They don't have the necessary nutrients . And if you have a hamburger for breakfast, you won't feel full for long. Try to eat all kinds of foods like grains, fruit, vegetables and drink some milk. Oh, try to eat more apples because an apple a day can help to keep the doctor away.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: FOOD, football, and fashion - Milan has it all. The city is perhaps most famous for its annual Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo , the theme of which is food and nutrition . Milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy. Rome is the most famous city in Italian history, Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with the art lovers. Yet Milan can often be let off tourists' lists. But although some see Milan as the "Ugly Sister" of these cities, in 2015, the city is "Suddenly back in fashion in a big way". The delicious Milan Expo will look at the future of food, trying to answer the question of how Earth's fast-growing population can be fed in the future. According to the Lonely Planet website, "144 countries will set up shops in northwest of central Milan, forming a mini city-within-a-city". Milan's famous opera house, La Scala, normally closed in the summer, will also host daily performances during the Expo, reported Fox News. Not interested in opera? Don't worry. Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro Stadium , home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in Series A and the European Champions league . So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem "Soulless " as Lonely Planet said, it still has "a serious sense of history and place". Many people will be discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. Will you?
