Passage FourMy boyfriend really enjoyed canoeing（划独木舟）,and it took me a while to finally persuade him to take me on a canoe trip. Despite his great skill, he was nervous about my safety and described many terrible situations that could happen. u They could also not happen,M I said. I wanted to prove that I was tough and capable of adventuring.This would be a romantic adventure. We would row the canoe on the lake under a beautiful blue sky. I was confident it would all go according to plan.It did not go as planned. Instead, 【it all went downhill】. We hit a headwind （逆风）.The flies were the worst. An unknown animal outside our tent in the night forced us to get up twiceto scareit away.We walked through knee-deep mud ； we moved around so many fallen trees that we lost the way frequently. We had an unexpected thunderstorm on our second night. We hid in our tent from the bugs（虫子），too tired and bitten to even hold each other. When we were finally back in the car,my skin was hot and angry with bug bites, I had barely slept in 72 hours and I had an injury on my forehead from hitting it on the canoe.Yet I realized that I wanted to do it all again. Because I swam in a lake so warm it felt like a summer pool. I ate lunch on an island with the most beautiful pine trees. I'd also never before appreciated how thunder can make the ground tremble. I know why my boyfriend loves canoeing so much. It's for the challenge, the space, and the beauty of moving forward with your own two hands in a place of natural wonder. He didn't say " I love you. " He said I was a good partner. I've found something that I really like to do. That's the more important thing.48.Why did the writer want to have a canoe trip with her boyfriend?

Passage FiveHealth care experts have long drawn attention to the problems of eating too much salt. There is strong evidence that a diet high in salt can lead to raised blood pressure. Since high blood pressure is a major factor in heart disease, it makes sense to cut down on the salt people eat.In the past, food contained very little salt, and people added it to their food at the table. Very few people add salt this way nowadays. However, the salt content of processed foods has gone up dramatically. It' s now estimated that over three-quarters of the salt in the average diet comes from processed foods, eaten without our being aware of it.Salt is added to food partly to extend shelf-life, but more often it' s dropped in to make up for the flavor lost in the manufacturing process. This is especially true of ready meals and highly processed foods, but it's also true of such basic food as biscuits, soups, and even bread. Much mass-produced bread, for instance, contains so much salt-half a gram for every hundred grams of bread—that it' s officially classified by the UK government as high—salt food. Salt has to be added to the bread because fast production cuts down the time for the flavor to develop. Without added salt, the bread would taste like paper.In the UK, the government has launched a campaign to cut down on the salt people eat. The UK Food Standards Agency argues that nearly half of the UK's population eat too much salt―9. 5g a day on average. Its aim is to bring down the average to 6g a day. The idea is to cut the salt content in 85 key food categories such as bread, meat, and cakes.52.What is the main reason for reducing salt in food?
