The Board of Healths formal approval of the ban-proposed by Bloomberg and praised by health campaigners, but hotly opposed by soft drinks manufacturerswas not considered a surprise. The city health commissioner, Thomas Farley, called the vote historic. However, Liz Berman, president of Continental Food and Beverage and head of the New Yorkers for Beverage Choices lobby group, described the discriminatory ban as a fix. Its sad that the board wants to limit our choices. We are smart enough to make our own decisions about what to eat and drink. she said in a statement. However, there is nothing to stop people from buying as much soda as they like by refilling smaller containers. Also, the ban does not extend to drinks sold in supermarkets or any dairy or fruit drinks, many of which also contain huge quantities of sugar. Diet and alcoholic drinks are also exempted. The measure, which could face legal challenges from the soft drinks industry, takes effect in six months. According to official statistics, some 6,000 people in New York die each year from obesity-linked problems. One in eight adult New Yorkers has diabetes, which can be worsened by sugar consumption. Boosting the mayor, the newly-built basketball stadium for the Brooklyn Nets announced it will immediately adopt the rules, well ahead of the March 12 deadline. The measure generated a stormy debate, including 38,000 comments written to the Board of Health. Polls showed a majority of people opposed the ban. 6. Why does New York enforce the limited ban on super-sized soda drinks? A. Because it is believed that soda drinks are of harm to health. B. Because it is believed that soda drinks cause the nation overweight. C. Because too many people dont like drinking soda drinks. D. Because super-sized soda drinks block the sugar consumption. 7.

The coming March.CThe old saying Youre only as old as you feel has new life, backed up by a new study. Researchers found older people with positive views on aging were 44% more likely to recover fully after severe disability than those with negative views on aging. People with positive attitudes about aging also had a slower decline in their ability to do daily tasks such as dressing and bathing. Until now, experts say, most of the research on attitudes about aging and health has looked at the health risks and losses linked to a negative views. But this study suggests there may be actual health benefits to having a more positive view about aging. In the study, researchers periodically surveyed 598 people aged 70 or older about their views on aging over a period of about 11 years. None were disabled when the study started, but later on, all of them had at least one month when they needed help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, or walking. The older people with positive views on aging were more likely to progress from severe disability to mild disability or mild disability to no disability. And they also had a slower rate of decline in their ability to perform daily activities as they got older. Of course, many factors affect whether or to what extent a person recovers from disability. This study does not prove that a positive attitude about aging made a difference. Positive views on aging may help people recover from disability and promote independent living in a variety of ways. A persons attitudes about aging say a lot about how much they believe their health is under their own control. People with positive age attitudes may be more likely to live a healthy lifestyle, keep up on their doctor appointments, and take their medicines as ordered. Researchers say the next step is to look at how people can upgrade their attitudes about aging. 11. From the passage, we can know . A. many people are afraid of aging in fact B. positive views on aging are more likely to help people recover C. we can live as long as we want if with positive views D. positive views can stop us from declining the ability of dressing 12. Whats the difference between the new study and most of the former studies? A. The ways of studying. B. The contents of studying. C. The hosts of studying. D. The attitudes of the researchers. 13. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. positive attitudes determine whether a person recovers B. positive attitudes assure that people must recover from disability C. negative attitudes destroy peoples health D. positive attitudes can bring actual health benefits to people 14. The people with positive age attitudes may . A. live an easy lifeB. visit the doctors occasionally C. take medicines as toldD. do exercises regularly 15. What will the researchers do next? A. Emphasize some of the positive views. B. Focus on the developmental loss with aging. C. Help people take their medicines as ordered. D. Believe their health is under their own control.第二节、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Here are some ways to help you have a happier and more successful life.16._Instead of saying, “Why is this happening to me？” you say, “What can I learn from this？” Trust that anything difficult in life is temporary.
