• 2．If you're traveling to South America in summer，you should have Patagonia （at the southern end of South America） high up on your list of things to do.With this list，I show you the best places to visit in Patagonia.The climate down there is pretty rough，especially in the very south - if you plan to do hiking or camping，the best time for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.
     1.Bariloche，Argentina
     The fact that Bariloche is well connected （airport，direct bus to and from Buenos Aires） makes it the perfect starting point of a round trip through Patagonia.But more than that：the combination of mountains，lakes and green forests results in its beautiful scenery.
     2.Futaleufú，Chile
     Further down south and a bit harder to access is the small Chilean village Futaleufú which is located at the border to Argentina.The reason which makes it worth it：the Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world.The landscape along the river is unique and，due to its location，still pretty much untouched.
     3.Puerto Rio Tranquilo，Chile
     If you want to get there quickly，you should travel through Argentina and cross over to Chile Chico as this place is also very remote.The reason to do so：the marble caves in the General Carrera lake.
     4.Torres del Paine，Chile
     Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my number 1 attraction in Patagonia - you should take some time and do a multi-day trek to experience as much of it as possible：glaciers，forests，impressive mountain ranges，lagoons and rivers.
  
  （1）What is the best time for hiking in Patagonia？

  
  A．October 1-November 1.
  B．December 25-January 15.
  C．March 5-April 1.
  D．November 5-June 7.
  （2）Which of the following about the Futaleufú River is true？

  
  A．It lies in an easily accessible village.
  B．It is ignored due to rafting sports.
  C．It is the best rafting river in the world.
  D．It still has untouched landscapes.
  （3）Which place attracts the author most in Patagonia？

  
  A．Bariloche.
  B．Futaleufú.
  C．Puerto Rio Tranquilo.
  D．Torres del Paine.

• 3．One in four American adults has fatty liver disease caused by being overweight，not drinking，and there is no medical treatment for it.Doctors say the only way to keep it in check is to lose weight and eat a healthier diet.Now a new study reports that bariatric surgery，in addition to helping with weight loss，can protect the liver.
     The findings were striking：Of a group of more than 1，100 patients who had fatty liver disease，those who had weight-loss surgery cut their risk of advanced liver disease，liver cancer or related death by almost 90 percent over the next ten years.Only five of the 650 patients who had bariatric surgery later developed one of those severe liver outcomes，compared with 40 of 508 patients who did not have the surgery.The weight-loss surgery patients were also at greatly lower risk for cardiovascular disease，a finding that is in line with earlier research.They were 70 percent less likely to experience a cardiac event，stroke or heart failure，or to die of heart disease，according to the study published Thursday in JAMA．
     Dr.Ali Aminian，the director of the Cleveland Clinic's Bariatric and Metabolic Institute and the study's lead author，said that in all likelihood weight loss had stopped the disease in its tracks. "Obesity is the main driver of the fatty liver，" Dr.Aminian said， "When a patient loses weight，fat goes away from everywhere，including the liver.Weight loss is the main factor here."
     One concern in studies like these is that patients who choose weight-loss surgery may be inherently different than those who do not.They may be more motivated；they have means to afford the surgery；and they are healthy enough that doctors do not turn them away.In this case，however，Dr.Nissen，chief academic officer of the Heart and Vascular Institute，said that "even if it's wrong by a factor of twofold，it still means the risk is greatly reduced."
  
  （1）What's the function of paragraph 1？

  
  A．To introduce a discovery.
  B．To make a prediction.
  C．To raise a doubt.
  D．To put forward a suggestion.
  （2）What does the writer suggest by giving the numbers in paragraph 2？

  
  A．The seriousness of obesity.
  B．The urgency of weight loss.
  C．The effectiveness of the bariatric surgery.
  D．The lower risk for cardiovascular disease.
  （3）What is Dr.Steven Nissen's attitude to the bariatric surgery？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Negative.
  C．Uncaring.
  D．Positive.
  （4）What's the main idea of the text？

  
  A．There is a cure for the fatty liver.
  B．Bariatric surgery can help protect the liver.
  C．Obesity is the main driver of the fatty liver.
  D．Eating a healthy diet can promote weight loss.
