IV. Making a cloze test (20%) Rewrite the following article (508 words) into a passage in 150~200 words with 5 cloze questions. Each question should contain four options (A~D), with the correct answer provided.        According to an annual global report, if you’re after mental wellbeing and a flourishing life, you should pay attention to those who live in the Dominican Republic, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Panama. These countries have topped the list of destinations with the best mental health in the fourth Annual Mental State of the World Report—a study by Sapien Labs that measures mental wellbeing.       The report assigned 71 countries a mental wellbeing metric according to a comprehensive survey of cognitive and emotional capabilities, of which more than 500,000 responses were collected. After analyzing the results, Sapien Labs found certain continents tended to score more highly than others. “Several African and Latin American countries topped the country rankings, while wealthier countries of the core Anglosphere, such as the United Kingdom and Australia, are towards the bottom,” the report stated.        This isn’t the first time this split has been observable either, as previous years’ reports have had similar results. “This pattern suggests that greater wealth and economic development do not necessarily lead to greater mental wellbeing,” the report continued.        During the pandemic, the phrase “languishing” became popular as a way to describe the world’s general malaise. The opposite of this is “flourishing”, which describes not only having no mental illnesses but positive mental health. So, why are African and Latin American countries flourishing relative to Anglo-Saxon countries? The answer, according to Sapien Labs, is because internet-enabled populations in wealthy countries are also likely to have youth on smartphones, ultra-processed food and weak social ties; three factors that have been linked to poor mental health.        Science has long proven the correlation between happiness, mental wellbeing and community. “Social connectedness is a key driver of wellbeing and resilience,” states the Ministry of Social Development website. “Socially well-connected people and communities are happier and healthier, and are better able to take charge of their lives and find solutions to the problems they are facing.”        According to Sapien Labs, adults’ risk of mental health challenges is four times lower if you have close family relationships - but wealthier countries were least likely to say they were close with many adult family members, at just 23 percent. Similarly, there is a strong body of research on the impact of processed food and a growing number of studies around technology use. “We found that over half of those who eat ultra-processed food daily are distressed or struggling with their mental wellbeing, compared to just 18 percent of those who rarely or never consume ultra-processed food,” the report stated. This is almost a three-fold increase.        Meanwhile, a sample of almost 28,000 survey respondents found that 18- to 24-year-olds’ mental health was strongly impacted by how young they were when they got their first smartphone. “In countries that are generally at the top of the list in this report, and less developed countries in general, the average age that young people first own a smartphone is typically older,” the report stated. In SubSaharan Africa, it’s 16 years old, 14-15 in Latin America and 11 in the core Anglosphere.

●Question 1: Multiple-choice question, with SIX choice items (A~F) and AT LEAST ONE correct answer (10%)

§ Question 3: Short-answer question (5%)        A number of studies have indicated that the levels of antioxidants are higher in organic foods, as compared to inorganic foods, and so are the levels of certain types of micronutrients such as iron, zinc and vitamin C. The higher levels of antioxidants are attributed to the fact that organic foods have no dependence on chemical pesticide sprays for protection, but instead produce antioxidants, which act as the protection. Therefore, a shift from conventionally grown cereals, vegetables, and fruits to organic ones has the benefit of providing extra amounts of antioxidants into the diets.        Also, while pesticide use is absent in organic foods, non-organic foods have been found to have some toxic pesticides, such as cadmium—whose accumulation can be harmful to the health of their consumers. According to a research study conducted on the two types of foods, non-organic foods were found to contain higher amounts of pesticides, four times more than in organic. Although cadmium may not be harmful in small amounts, accumulation into the body over time can reach harmful levels. Therefore, the consumption of organic foods will help consumers avoid the risks of the accumulation of pesticide residue altogether.            Physically, there also exists a considerable contrast between organic and nonorganic foods in appearance. For instance, when a person goes shopping for fruits, he or she almost instantaneously notices the differences in appearance between the two types of food products. Organic products such as fruits will always be variable sizes and shapes, presenting some form of physical imperfection compared to their non-organic counterparts.        On the other hand, nonorganic foods will always appear to have a relatively similar appearance in accordance with their various types. The differences arise from the treatments given to the products during growth. Non-organic products, some of which have undergone minimal processing or are generally unprocessed, are usually subjected to treatment by use of artificially processed substances for growth enhancement, which is not the case for organically produced products. These substances are responsible for giving the products an almost perfect shape. That way, they will always appear similar. Contrarily, the organic foods, whose growth is under the influence of substances naturally produced by the plant, will not achieve the same kind of perfection in non-organic products due to the variations in supply of these growth substances to different parts of the plants.

Paraphrase the provided passage and design a five-blank cloze test based on your paraphrased version. Please provide both the five questions (blanks) and their corresponding answers.   Pikas, often called "real-life Pikachus," are small mammals closely related to rabbits. Inhabiting high-altitude regions, they rely on their dense fur to survive freezing temperatures. Unlike hibernating animals,pikas stay active year-round, diligently gathering and drying plants during summer to ensure they haveenough food for the winter. However, their survival is now threatened by rising temperatures, as their thickcoats make them highly sensitive to heat. Additionally, human activities, such as poisoning campaigns incertain regions, further endanger their populations. Although pikas are not yet globally endangered, therapid disappearance of local groups serves as a warning that we must protect these delicate mountainecosystems before it’s too late.

(翻譯)2. 如果你不是個登山愛好者的話，我想與你分享一個十分重要的道理。任何事情在遠處看起來總是比較可怕。上山的路高聳入雲，由下往上看，路太陡、太滑、太危險，感覺那真是高不可攀。有些路看起來如此令人懼怕，以致於你可能連試也不想試，就想回頭。很久以前我就學會了應對之道。不要緊盯著前方，擔心前方的危險。那只是在浪費時間，對解決問題毫無助益。替代的是，你應該專心對付腳下小區域，一步一步向前走。有趣的是，當你達到艱險之處的時候，這些地方並不是想像中的那麼難。
