| 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? |

| "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? |

| 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 |
| 5．The author intends to________. |
| A．make consumers aware of the promoters' false promises B．show the weakness of the law on product safety C．give advice on how to keep young and beautiful D．introduce the organization of FDA |

| Happier people are generally healthier people-not only mentally, but also physically. So everyone tries to pursue happiness. What's the pursuit of happiness? It means practicing happiness regularly, making it a habit, and reprogramming our brains by creating new emotional pathways. Psychologists' studies have suggested that several factors contribute to our happiness. It's shown that only 10% of our ability for happiness depends upon external(外在的) circumstances! 50% of our happiness level is dependant on genetic genes and 50% is learned. Of the 50% learned, only 10% is determined by our circumstances. The other 40% is determined by our habitual thoughts, feeling, words, and actions. That 40% is what we have power to change! So how can we learn to be happy? It takes practice, practice, practice. Here are three ways to get started. Power of positive thinking: Our negative selftalk is so powerful; it overwhelms (覆没)all other input. It therefore takes numerous positive experiences to overcome a single negative one. For each negative thought, state three positive qualities that you possess and start creating a new positive thought. Open your heart and share the best of you with others: Happy people are more giving, outgoing, flexible and creative. Does serving others make you happy or does being happy better enable you to be of service? What difference does it make? Just reach out and start giving! Honor yourself: Be gentle and forgiving toward yourself. You need to unconditionally love and approve of your innermost(内心的)being, which is the keystone that supports all gateways toward personal growth, fulfillment, and happiness. True happiness isn't a short pleasure but a sense of wholeness and fulfillment. Happiness is our right as human beings and to pursue happiness is our duty.  |

| Medical experts have established that there is a direct link between our personality and better health. According to a new study, the ability of the body to resist some diseases that are associated with stress is not just a matter of our genetics, race, or gender, but a matter of our personality. The investigators followed 103 adults above 40, examining their personalities and degrees of extroversion. They found that extroverts (性格外向者)have significantly lower levels of an inflammatory (炎症性的)chemical that leads to the blocking of arteries(动脉),heart attack and stroke. They have also found that extroversion is an image of personality which consists of three parts: a tendency to think in a happy way, a desire to be around other people and a sense of active engagement with life. Though the study was able to show that extroversion and active involvement in life are associated with lower levels of the inflammatory chemical, it may be really hard to tell which one comes first. Dr. Chapman warned that the researchers have not discovered yet whether low inflammation is a result of people's tendencies toward socializing, or inflammation itself is affecting people by changing their personality tendencies. The researchers are not sure how to stimulate people to change their lifestyle or nature. Physical activity may be a piece of the solution, and has been found to lower stress levels, especially with aging. Dr. Chapman says that beyond exercise, some individuals just have this innate (天生的)energy that makes them enthusiastically involved in life. As a result,their bodies have an increased ability to resist the physical effects of stress. The experts arc continuing to try to develop specific therapies, such as the ones that are being used to treat depression, and to help people find ways to increase active engagement in life. Engaging in life can keep people much happier and healthier. |
