P2We
left Taipei in the morning to set out
on our journey to Gongliao. ★There are
stone houses standing
for hundreds of
years.
Due to the fierce
seasonal winds there, the houses in Gongliao had to be constructed with strong materials, like stones, to prevent them from collapsing. We asked an elderly
man for more details about these buildings. “Did
you notice the thick walls and windows? The thick walls are meant to block the waves. However, if seawater
floods into the
house, the people inside
can get out through
the windows in the
back of the building,” he told us. In order to stay alive, humans
always have to adapt to nature, and these
stone houses are great examples
of this.

fried oysters for
lunch. They were all super delicious! After finishing our meal, we went to see sculptures made of the oyster
shells. There were also some walls decorated by these shells. These works of art combined nature, creativity, and recycling in a brilliant
way! Though

Last
week, I learned some health knowledge from the magazine. For example, fast
food companies have added lighter food items such as salad and yogurt to
their menus. However, I was surprised at the fact 1 than they were 30 years ago. What's more,
even though meatless burgers are quite popular nowadays, the thought 2 than regular ones may not be true. The main
concern is that the amount of sodium (鈉) in
meatless burgers is higher than we thought. I
also read another piece of news 3
. I have had sleep problem for a
long time, so I read it closely. The idea 4 helped me a lot. The author also told
readers to be aware of the fact 5 . We should control the time we spend on
technology in order to take a good rest. |

(A) that breathing exercises can reduce
stress (B) that meatless burgers are healthier (C) that their menus are actually less
healthy (D) that technology can increase stress (E) that stress could affect sleep
