　　China’s national anthem, March of the Volunteers, is a song that we learn at the beginning of primary school and sing at every flag-raising ceremony. And now, there’s even a law to protect it.

　　Last September, the government passed the National Anthem Law, which became effective(生效)

　　from Oct.1, 2017. It states how we should sing or play the song, requiring all of us to behave towards it politely.

　　Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the song’s spirit and history. Moreover, the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song. We can’t joke about it or change the song’s words or music. If someone breaks the law, he or she can be detained for up to 15 days, or face further punishment in more serious situations. The national anthem is different from other songs – it is the symbol of our country.

　　Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems. For example, American school children should put their right hand over their heart while singing their country’s anthem at school. In Russia, the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and end of broadcasting. And in the Philippines, people are required to sing the national anthem with feelings when it’s played in public.

　　What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies (辣椒).

　　Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy (辣 的) vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after

　　eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

　　In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced by natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

　　And chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age. So, don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

　　53. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

　　A. Eating chilies can be dangerous. B. The US man died in hospital.

　　C. The US man often had headaches. D. The Chinese enjoy eating chilies.

　　54. People like to eat chilies because .

　　D. Proper spicy food may improve our health.

　　56. Which of the following can be the best title?

　　A. Eating Chilies, A Healthy Lifestyle B. A Loved and Hated Vegetable

　　C. Chili—A Harmful Vegetable D. Causes of Stomachache

　　58. “Foodtography” has been around for longer than one would expect. Take US

　　photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) for example. In 1947, Vogue magazine published many food photos taken by Penn. Looking at the carefully put salad ingredients or the cakes on stands(货 架), it would be easy to think Penn’s 70-year-old photos were taken just last week.

　　59. And the star posts just one delicious-looking food picture with the place where it was taken. It can bring hundreds of new customers for the restaurant.
