Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privately held company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace. This magazine is small and easy to carry, just half the size of most American magazines, which cause a phrase in 2005, “America in your pocket.” It is the best selling magazine in the USA. At present, its circulation（发行量）in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Its global（全球的）circulation outside the USA has reached 40 million people in more than 70 countries in 21 languages.This magazines focus is not news but more of cultural views because the editors（编辑）think people now can get news from somewhere else. They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, the magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.This magazine actually used to be a family business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s.

There, a school teacher asked him his name.“J. C.， he answered. She thought he had said “Jesse, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten Meet, Owens accidentally fell downstairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions to give up and said he would try event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic(体育的) but also political. Hitler（希特勒）did not congratulate any of the African American winners.“It was all right with me, he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered(烦扰) me, he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years, he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.31.

When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years, he means that the medals _.A. have been changed for money to help him live onB. have made him famous in the USC. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs35.

How to Be a Successful SportsmanCNowadays, the food that you buy comes from many from different countries. Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins (（来源）of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmers field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumers. Why is this, and what are the effects of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didnt have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They areavailablein winter if we want.Some countries have to import（进口）most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported material.What is wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global（全球的）warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.36. What is called “food miles” according to this passage?A. The origins of the food. B. The effects of long distances.C. The journey from field to plate. D. Te disadvantages of imported food.37. The underlined word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_”A. easy to getB. not busyC. willing to talkD. impossible to get38.
