The experts analyzed the effects of taxes on sugary drinks, tabacco and alcohol in countries that have introduced them and found that the criticism that they are punishing the poorest in unfounded.Experts did a survey. They looked at 13 countries: Chile, Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Albania, Poland, Turkey, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Niger, Nigeria, India and Timor-Leste. They found that wealthier families generally spend more on alcohol, soft drinks and snacks. In India, for instance, wealthier households spent seven times more on alcohol and three times more on soft drinks and snacks compared to poorer households. So those households end up paying a larger proportion of any tax.On the other hand, taxes have a greater impact on the smaller household budgets of poorer families. They respond by buying less, with greater benefits for their health. In the UK, say the authors, the response to the possible introduction of a minimum price for alcohol was estimated to be 7.6 times larger in the poorest households, compared with the wealthiest.In Mexico, the introduction of a sugary drinks tax resulted in an average of 4.2 litres less of soft drinks purchased per person, with a 17% decrease in purchases among lower income groups and almost no change in higher income groups. In Lebanon, they say, a 50% increase in the price of cigarettes would lead to twice as many people quitting smoking in poorer households as wealthy families.“The evidence suggests that concerns about higher taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and soft drinks harming the poor are overstated,” said Dr. Rachel Nugent from RTI International in Seattle, USA, and chair of the Lancet Taskforce on NCDs and economics.“Some degree of taxation on tobacco is common in many countries, and while we are starting to see progress on alcohol taxes, there is much more governments should be doing in both high and low income countries to consider the careful introduction of taxes on other unhealthy products like soft drinks and snacks. Price policies such as taxes will be a key part of the response to rising rates of non-communicablediseases(慢性非传染病).”The UK sugar tax is a levy on the manufacturers of 18p per litre for drinks containing 5g of sugar per 100ml and 24p on those with 8g per 100ml.Many companies have reformulated their products, often swapping artificial sweeteners for sugar. Some like Coca-Cola have decided to stick to the original recipe and the price will rise, although the bottles and cans will shrink to reduce the impact.38What do we know about the “sin taxes”?A They receive warm welcome in developing countries.B They help people get rid of unhealthy lifestyles.C They have the same effects on the poor and rich.D They have a deeper influence on groups with high income.39Which of the following is TRUE about the responses to “sin taxes”?A The public have turned a deaf ear to it.B The government has introduced taxes on snacks.C Many companies have raised the price of their products.D Coca-Cola will use smaller packages to counter the impacts.40The author support his ideas in the passage by .A giving examplesB telling storiesC analyzing causes and effectsD reasoning and concludingCId be lying if I said a dog-like robot opening a door for another dog-like robot doesnt creep me out. A full discussion of robot dogs is for another day, but for now, researchers studying the cognition（认知） and welfare of real dogs have a less threatening view of dogs and technology, particularly when touchscreens are involved.Like you, animals can learn to interact with the content displayed on touchscreens, and their touch reveals something about their choice, which in turn reveals something about their mind. Animals both on and off land can be trained to use touchscreens from chimpanzees to dogs, cats, and even dolphins, among others. Touchscreen studies have explored how and what dogs categorize, their ability to learn byexclusion（排除）, and how they discriminate between different images. An added bonus is that, once a dog has mastered the touchscreen, humans can remove themselves from the study and cant unconsciously give signals to the dog.Researchers are now posing a new set of questions: are touchscreens beneficial to the user? Can touchscreens exercise the dogs mind, in addition to serving as a window into it?No better place to start than with older pet dogs, a group facing a unique set of challenges. Aging dogs can have reduced physical activity compared to their younger counterparts. Less attention is often given to their learning, training and other mental activities; after all, who hasnt heard the wrong proverb, “You cant teach an old dog new tricks.” But dog minds are not meant to be inactive. Instead, “studies point to the fact that aging seems to be slowed by mental and physical stimulation, and thus stopping these activities might actually lead to faster aging in dogs.”Lisa Wallis and colleagues at the Senior Family Dog Project at ELTE University in Budapest are exploring the effects of touchscreens on dog physiological, behavioral, and cognitive well-being.Their recent conference paper gives us a look at how dogs learn to use the touchscreen and the direction of future research. Over the course of a number of sessions, dogs learned that when they nose-touch a particular image on the screen, a food treat pops out. At first, only a single image appears on the screen. Once the dogs reliably learn to nose-touch the image, they move on to discrimination training where two images appear together and only one image is “correct.” Only two out of one hundred thirty dogs were unable to grasp the task, and three displayed frustration suggesting touchscreens are within the capacity of the majority of senior dogs.Wallis and colleagues will continue investigating long-term effects of touchscreen use, but it seems promising. “The positive association to the touchscreen is so strong that on several occasions when the dog was alone (the trainer had stepped out to answer the phone), and the feeder failed, dogs continued to work on the touchscreen with no reward until the end of the session.” Owners, even those initially skeptical, were impressed by the strategies their dogs used. They also observed that dogs slept soundly upon returning home from touchscreen sessions, highlighting that mental activity can have some of the same effects as physical exercise.Further studies will explore the effects of long-term touchscreen use on dog personality, activity levels, measures of well-being, and influence on the dog-human bond. Stay tuned.41What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A Animals can decide the content shown on touchscreens.B Animals naturally have the ability to use touchscreens.C People can discriminate between dogs abilities by exclusion.D People can tell dogs needs through their touch on the screen.42By using the proverb in paragraph 4, the author intends to stress .A aging dogs are too old to learn new skillB aging dogs experience a decline in energyC training younger dogs is more productiveD training aging dogs is possible and beneficial43What is revealed by the research conducted by Lisa Wallis?A The dogs master the touchscreen use step by step.B Rewards are a must for dogs to finish the sessionC The dogs regard nose-touch as a form of physical exercise.D It remains to be seen whether it has a positive effect on dogs.44What does the passage mainly talk about?A How robot dogs have threatened the world.B How people establish better dog-human bonds.C How touchscreens can be employed to train dogs.D How long-held myths about dogs mislead people.DOne by one, prejudices are disappearing in the West. People may harbour private suspicions that other peoples race or sex makes them inferiorbut to say so openly is totally taboo. One old prejudice remains respectable, though. Just ask a childless person.They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake（利害关系）in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesnt have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failedbut researchers find that many voters quietly agree.The charges against the childless should be thrown out, along with other social prejudice. In many rich countries, between 15% and 20% of women, and a slightly higher proportion of men, will not have children. The share is rising. Some have medical problems; others do not meet the right person in time; still others decide they do not want them. Whatever the cause, the attacks on the childless are baseless.If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money to good causes. According to one American estimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the worlds parents, who stop social immobility by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children.The fact that so many senior politicians lack offspring（子孙）ought to put to rest the idea that they do not care for society. Five of the G7 countries are led by childless men and women. Mr. Macron, Mrs. May, Mrs. Merkel, Shinzo Abe and Paolo Gentiloni have their faults, but they are not notably less able than Justin Trudeau (who has three children) let alone Donald Trump (who has five). Their opportunities for nepotism（裙带关系）are limited. And they spare their countries dynastic politics.The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain （ 维 持 ） public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today.The childless also do everyone else a favour by creat
