| The early 1900s were very different from today.Toys,though they have evolved in many ways,were still the delight of children everywhere. Theodore Roosevelt's Presidency marks the beginning of the "Teddy Bear". In the year 1902,toy bears were named "Teddy" after the president's nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide, and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced. In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented.It was a steel,motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything.Its creator was A. C.Gilbert,a medical doctor. Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children. Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter.That was in 1915. The following year,an architect's son named John Lloyd Wright,invented Lincoln Logs,which were interlocked to make structures. Two years after Mickey Mouse was created,stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark.This was the start of Disney merchandise. The yoyo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yoyo company in 1929. The ViewMaster,a three dimensional viewer,was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber.The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3D images from Disney movies and television programs. Finally,in 1940,model airplanes were mass produced.They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military,but later caught on as a toy. The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times.Isn't it interesting to know that if it hadn't been for all these creative people,most of the games you know today would never have been? 1. Why were toy bears named "Teddy"? A. To be suitable for mass production. B. To be easily pronounced by children. C. To meet the advertisers' needs. D. To memorize President Theodore Roosevelt. 2.

| "In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight." "Two full inches in the first three days!" These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug, FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure(查封)of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律 诉讼), and new devices appear continually.Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items. 1. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________. A. objective B. costly C. unreliable D. illegal 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products. B. New products are more likely to be questionable. C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA. D. The promoters usually just care about profits. 3. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________. A. if it is a drug B. if it is a device C. if its consumers make complaints D. if its distributors challenge FDA's authority 4. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________. A. a product which was designed to produce electricity B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product D. an example of a quality beauty product |

| Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance. After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources. Jason Swencki's son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over, " says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone." Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages. These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people-225 to date-who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fightit.org has raised about $ 23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean. Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure, " says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now." 1. Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas? A. He needs to go to the doctor every day. B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes. C. He has a positive attitude to this disease. D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles. 2. Diabeticrockstar.com was created for ________. A. diabetics to communicate B. volunteers to find jobs C. children to amuse themselves D. rock stars to share resources 3. According to the text, Kody ________. A. feels lonely because of his illness B. benefits from diabeticrockstar.com C. helps create the online kid's forums D. writes children's stories online 4. What can we learn about Fight It? A. It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties. B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year. C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics. D. It owns a wellknown medical website. |

| Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface. A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of "melody roads", which use cars as tuning forks(音叉)to play music as they travel. The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes. Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune. Patent documents for the design describe it as notches(刻痕)"formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melodylike tones". There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan-one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda.He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer(推土机)before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones. The optimal speed for melody road is 44 kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound. "You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well, "wrote one Japanese blogger."Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12 mph[20 km/h]has a slowmotion effect, making you almost carsick." 1. According to the passage, melody roads use________to create different notes. A. cars B. grooves C. spaces between intervals D. bulldozers 2. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on________. A. how far the grooves are B. how big the grooves are C. the number of the grooves D. the speed of the car 3. The underlined word "optimal" in the passage might mean________. A. fastest B. possible C. best D. suitable 4. In order to hear the music well, you have to________. A. drive very fast B. drive slowly C. open the windows wide D. keep the windows closed |

From the several hours I spend a day at my gym I get to observe all types of gym goers. One thing most of them have in common is that they all appear to be lost. The gym, much like a dense forest, can be a very scary place and if you don't have a plan you can end up forgetting where you are or where you are going. Here are a few things you must do if you want to guarantee success at the gym. 2. ________ If you're going to venture into the forest it would seem smart to have a general idea of where you are going and why you are going there. The first question you must ask yourself is "why"? Why are you even working out? It sounds simple but if you cannot come up with a good enough answer then you may be wasting your time. You see, if you are working out based on other people's values of what a healthy lifestyle is, then you may be setting yourself up for failure. Once you understand why then you must figure out what you would like the end result to be. You should choose something specific and you should write it down. How many pounds would you like to lose? What size clothes do you want to fit in? How many points off your cholesterol would you like to drop? Ask yourself specific questions and have answers for them. Next you must decide when you would like to have reached these goals. Create specific times and dates. Mark them down on your calendar. 3. ________ Once you know where you want to go you must now figure out the path you would like to take to get there. In fitness there are many paths to choose from and it can be quite confusing. While some paths may be quicker or more appropriate to take than others it is most important to just pick one and stay with it. Every time you enter that gym have a clear idea of what is going to happen. Know what pieces of equipment you need to use, know how many sets you must perform and have a good idea how long it should take you to complete the workout. 4. ________ There will be times when it may seem hard to stay on track. Whether you're traveling, someone is using a piece of equipment you need to use, or work gets in the way. It will be important for you to learn to improvise in these situations. Plan ahead when traveling, have alternate exercises in mind, and learn to adapt when change occurs. But in the end, always trust in the course you have previously mapped out for yourself. Come back to it and adhere to it as accurately as possible. 5. ________ Always keep a fitness journal. Otherwise you will find it very hard to keep track of where you have been and where you are going. Write down all exercises performed, how much weight used, how you felt, and if you think you can do better the next time you will work out. This is one of the most overlooked and powerful tools when it comes to attaining your goals. |
