I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye（吸引我的世界）. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫襤褸). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him before.
But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression(表情). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍貴)thing he had.
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought（盡管） he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought it,” she replied. I was still unable to understand.
“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”
The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food clothes. I soon realized（意識到）that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.
Since then I’ve never gone a day without thinking of what’s truly important. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are only part of the picture. What’s often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.
【小題1】How would Sarah spend her days long ago?
A．She watched TV all day.
B．She used to read a lot.
C．She did nothing but thinking.
D．She was always sleeping.
【小題2】Who caught Sarah’s eye when her mum stopped the car at a red light?
A．A man dressed in rags.
B．A man dressed in new clothes.
C．A man sitting down with a sad expression.
D．A man singing happily to the music.
【小題3】 Why was the man different?
A．He wore new clothes.
B．He was sitting with a sad expression.
C．He was homeless.
D．He lived an active life though he was very poor.
【小題4】What did Sarah do after she understood the fact?
A．She thought all day without doing anything.
B．She bought a radio just like the man’s.
C．She had a passion with everything from then on.
D．She always danced to the music on the radio.
【小題5】 What can we learn from the passage?
A．Sometimes food and clothes are the most important things in our life.
B．Happiness is the key to life and it is what we are looking forward to.
C．Music is more important than food or clothes.
D．Money is the most important thing for a person.

Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes (糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke (中風(fēng)).
New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt. I use in cooking. The suggested daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you try not to eat too many processed (加工過的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t reach more than the daily level.
The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt bottle, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.
【小題1】The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.

A．white peopleB．black people
C．untreated diseasesD．high blood pressure and diabetes
【小題2】What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?
A．Black people take in too much salt.
B．Black people’s meals are very special.
C．Processed foods have too much salt in them.
D．6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.
【小題3】What would the writer probably suggest black people do?
A．Order no salad in a restaurant.B．Take in no salt for several days.
C．Stop cooking their favorite meals.D．Eat less takeaways.
【小題4】The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to _______.
A．thank those who came to his home for his research
B．let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier
C．show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home
D．prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is

A．Watch the saltB．Take care, black people
