5Cook the meat slowly if you want it to its juices.
Aretain
Battempt
Cbury

中譯如果你想讓肉保住肉汁，就要慢慢烹煮。
解析retain its juices 指「保留」肉汁。attempt 嘗試、bury 掩埋皆不合；pine 渴望 是不及物動詞（pine for），不能接 its juices。
單字retain 保留、留住、attempt 嘗試、企圖、bury 埋葬、掩埋

Cbid
Dbravery
✔ 正確答案：(C) bid

解析bid for a contract 意為「投標、爭取」。dine 用餐、pave 舖路皆不合；bravery 勇敢 是名詞，不能放在 will 之後當動詞。
單字bid 出價、投標、努力爭取、dine 用餐、pave 舖(路)、舖設

單字glimpse 一瞥；瞥見、cocktail 雞尾酒、chest 胸部、胸腔

單字capable 有能力的、勝任的、fake 假的、偽造的、electronic 電子的

Passage 1
The Recipe That Kept Changing
A family restaurant in Chiayi has served the same beef noodle soup for fifty years, yet the 11 has never stopped changing. The founder wrote everything down; his daughter added star anise; his grandson took it out again. What matters, the grandson says, is not the list of 12 but the balance of 13 at the end. Customers who ate there as children often say the soup tastes exactly as they remember, which is impossible—the beef itself comes from a different farm now. Memory, he laughs, is the one thing no cook can 14 or 15.
Across Europe, sales of beer and 16 have fallen among people under thirty for eight years in a row. Bar owners first blamed the price. Researchers who studied the change found something else: young adults simply meet in different places. A café stays open late, keeps the music quiet, and lets people talk. Many bars now serve drinks with no 17 at all, and one chain reports that these make up a fifth of sales. The word 18 has almost vanished from advertisements. Whether the change is good for 19 is still debated, but nobody now describes it as a passing 20.

ARTICLE
The Slow Return of the Family Meal
Ten years ago researchers expected the shared evening meal to disappear. Longer working hours and food delivery seemed certain to finish it off. The latest survey tells a different story: the number of families eating together at least four nights a week has risen slightly.
The reason is not a new love of cooking. It is cost. When two adults and two children each order separately, the bill is three times the cost of one pot of rice and vegetables.
Something unexpected followed. Parents in the survey reported fewer arguments with teenagers — not because the food was better, but because nobody leaves the table quickly when the meal is hot.
解析The reason is not a new love of cooking. It is cost。

EMAIL
Booking a Table for Twelve
Dear Mr. Lin,
I would like to book a table for twelve on Friday 14 March at 7 p.m. for my mother's seventieth birthday.
Two of the guests do not eat meat, and one cannot have nuts of any kind. Could the kitchen prepare something for them from the same menu, or should we choose a set meal instead?
We would also like to bring a cake. Is there a charge for that, and would you be able to keep it cold until we ask for it?
Please let me know how much deposit you require.
Best regards, Grace Yang

林先生您好：
我想預訂三月十四日（週五）晚上七點十二人的桌位，為我母親慶祝七十歲生日。
其中兩位客人不吃肉，一位完全不能吃堅果。廚房能否從同一份菜單為他們準備餐點，還是我們應該改選套餐？

請告知需要多少訂金。
謹此 楊葛蕾絲
