Gabriel Garqacia Marquez ， who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982， passed away at the age of 86 on April 17， 2014. The world paused (停頓) to remember the cultural giant. Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia， but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers， he was widely considered as “a giant of 20th- century literature.” Garcia Marquez wrote in a style called “ magical realism(魔幻現(xiàn)實主義).” In such works， people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile， magical things happen to them.

Garcia Marquez is best known for his 1967 novel， One Hundred Years of Solitude （《百年孤獨》）， which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo， which was separated from the outside world of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years. The story is a metaphor(暗喻)for the development of Colombia since the 19 century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said， Garcia Marquez wrote about “the essence(本質(zhì)) of the Latin American beings.”

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would have sweet and ice-cream rather than eat meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we drink beer at meals, it may take away your appetite(食欲). It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign(征兆) that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat.

A long time ago, in England, some judges(法官) often decided whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish(愚蠢), it is really a good way of finding out the truth. A man who is worried has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because of his worriment, he loses his appetite and doesn’t want to eat.

1.Why do we have to form good eating habits?

A. Because we want to eat more.

D. Because we want to keep fit.

2.When do you think it is good to eat sweets and ice-cream according to the passage?

A. When we are happy.

B. When we have a good appetite.

B. At the fixed time every day.

C. When we feel happy.
