Why do most Japanese people live longer than the rest of us? One reason might be soybean products (豆制品) like tofu and miso (日本豆酱). Scientists from Japan's National Institute of Health and Nutrition did a study into the health benefits of soybean products. They said people who regularly ate tofu and miso were 10 percent less likely to die from diseases than people who ate no soybean products. Eating soybean-based food cut the risk (风险) of death from heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. Eating fermented soy products (发酵豆制品) lowered the risk of death.
Soybeans are super food. They are rich in protein, fibre, minerals and unsaturated fats. Soy fibre helps lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduce weight. Soy is an important part of the cuisine (烹饪) of Asia, especially in Japan. People in Asia have eaten soy since ancient times. The most common types of soy products are tofu (soybean curd), natto (fermented soybeans), miso (a fermented soybean paste added to soups) and soy sauce. Miso is high in salt.

People are always interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of researches on this subject.
Most animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. When a dog walks outside, it learns about other dogs by smelling things. Dogs have helped the police for a long time too. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. Mice have an excellent sense of smell too. Scientists even train them to find landmines (地雷). It is found that even ants use smell. They use smell to tell other ants where the food is.
Everyone has heard birds sing. Many other animals use sound to communicate. Frogs and insects communicate with sounds. Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate. These sounds can travel very far through water or the ground. However, it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. They are either too low or too high for us.
Animals always use body languages to communicate as well. When a cat puts its ears back, it is a bit mad. When it sits with its tail around itself, it is happy. When a dog puts its tail under its body, it is scared. When it wags its tail and opens its mouth, it is happy.

At school, students learn different subjects like English, maths, art and so on. They learn these subjects in the classroom. These days, a new subject becomes popular in many schools! That is school gardening. Students learn it outside the classroom. It is not only an interesting subject, but also a great way to keep healthy.
In the gardening class students can go outside and get fresh air. More importantly, they can learn a lot. When some young students have food, they always ask, “Where does the rice come from?” In this class, they can get the answer. And they can learn to do things with their own hands. They can also learn some teamwork-skills and care about nature, others and themselves.
Keeping a school garden is difficult, but teachers are trying to make it work. Some schools can have gardens inside, but other schools are small. So teachers turn to gardens and parks near the school.
The school garden doesn’t have to be very big. Students can have a lot of fun in it. At first, teachers decide what vegetables to grow. Then they grow them with students. Carrots and tomatoes are their favorites because it is nice for them to get a carrot or a tomato, wash it and eat it right in the garden. Some vegetables are easy to grow, but others need a long time. This can teach students hard work pays off.
Gardening is as important as any other subject. Students should learn it at school.

Why do most Japanese people live longer than the rest of us? One reason might be soybean products (豆制品) like tofu and miso (日本豆酱). Scientists from Japan's National Institute of Health and Nutrition did a study into the health benefits of soybean products. They said people who regularly ate tofu and miso were 10 percent less likely to die from diseases than people who ate no soybean products. Eating soybean-based food cut the risk (风险) of death from heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. Eating fermented soy products (发酵豆制品) lowered the risk of death.
Soybeans are super food. They are rich in protein, fibre, minerals and unsaturated fats. Soy fibre helps lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduce weight. Soy is an important part of the cuisine (烹饪) of Asia, especially in Japan. People in Asia have eaten soy since ancient times. The most common types of soy products are tofu (soybean curd), natto (fermented soybeans), miso (a fermented soybean paste added to soups) and soy sauce. Miso is high in salt. Researchers said salt in miso does not put people at risk of high blood pressure. Soybean products are becoming popular around the world.
31. Where is the National Institute of Health and Nutrition?
A. In China. B. In Japan. C. In France. D. In England.
32. What does the underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Problems. B. Reasons.

People are always interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of researches on this subject.
Most animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. When a dog walks outside, it learns about other dogs by smelling things. Dogs have helped the police for a long time too. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. Mice have an excellent sense of smell too. Scientists even train them to find landmines (地雷). It is found that even ants use smell. They use smell to tell other ants where the food is.
Everyone has heard birds sing. Many other animals use sound to communicate. Frogs and insects communicate with sounds. Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate. These sounds can travel very far through water or the ground. However, it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. They are either too low or too high for us.
Animals always use body languages to communicate as well. When a cat puts its ears back, it is a bit mad. When it sits with its tail around itself, it is happy. When a dog puts its tail under its body, it is scared. When it wags its tail and opens its mouth, it is happy.
36 Which of the following ways of communication is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Body languages. B. Sight. C. Sound. D. Smell.
