• 1．Christian Eijkman，a Dutch doctor，left the Netherlands for the island of Java.Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri.He was going there to try and find a cure.
      At first，Eijkman thought some kind of germ （细菌） caused beri-beri.He raised some chickens.He didn't eat them，but made experiments on jye.aim.The local people were quite surprised at that.One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice（精炼米）.When he fed them with unrefined rice，also known as brown rice，they recovered.Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease.These things were named vitamins（维生素）.The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins.Later，other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person's food.

• 2．On the night of November 14，1978，a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United States.All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere.The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport，where he was greeted by a family.This young boy was me.
     I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians，so I stuck out in the crowd.I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else.You may ask if anyone made fun of my appearance.Well，of course，I met that kind of person.I just shrugged it off（耸耸肩）.
     As an adopted child，I have something that others don't have.I have had the benefit of two families.I'm lucky to have got a chance to start a new life.But we must try never to forget our past.Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.
     There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted.When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument，they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea.I don't understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family.Some day when I am older，I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me，but I would do it better，for I know what went well and what did not.

• 3．Italy is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue.That is，except in the small town of Piobbico，the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People.The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone.People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s.That's when Ugly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands.Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.
      People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness.During the annual Festival of the Ugly，which occurs on the first Sunday of every September，hundreds of people gather in Piobbico's town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club.Lacobelli wins the election every year.The Ugly Club has over 20，000 members.They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme.A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.
      The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue.Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone，they have to work hard to prove their other virtues.Ugly people，on the other hand，are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody，according to Lacobelli.
      Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywjye.aire.He believes that the uglier one is，the better life can be.Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty，especially beauty contests，Lacobelli has a serious side as well.He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don't meet society's standards of beauty.The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.
  
  （1）Piobbico is rather special in that

  .
  A．it is a very small town
  B．it is home to ugly people
  C．it receives no visitors
  D．it is the capital of Italy
  （2）Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year？

  
  A．Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.
  B．Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.

  A．Ugly people are most respected in Italy.
