everywhere.theodore roosevelts presidency marks the beginning of the “teddy bear”. in the year 1902，toy bears were named “teddy” after the presidents 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 ac.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 architects 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.isnt it interesting to know that if it hadnt been for all these creative people，most of the games you know today would never have been?36why were toy bears named “teddy”？ato be suitable for mass production.bto be easily pronounced by children.cto meet the advertisers needs.dto memorize president theodore roosevelt.37in which aspect do the toys created by gilbert differ from those by

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.41it can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are_.aobjective bcostlycunreliable dillegal42.which of the following is true according to the text?athe court is in charge of removing dangerous products.bnew products are more likely to be questionable.cthe production of a device must be approved by fda.dthe promoters usually just care about

relaxacisor is mentioned as_.aa product which was designed to produce electricityba product whose distributor was involved in a legal case ca successful advertisement of a beauty productdan example of

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 werent bad enough, he had no health insurance.after a month of feeling upset, thomas decided hed 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 , a free online community for diabetics and their loved onesa place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.jason swenckis son, kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. father and son visit the online childrens forums(论坛) together most evenings. “kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over，” says swencki, one of the sites volunteers. “they know what hes going through, so he doesnt 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, thomass main focus is his charity(慈善机构), fight it, which provides medicines and supplies to people225 to datewho cant afford a diabetics huge expenses. f has raised about $ 23,000in 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 rockstars original members. “but christopher is the only person i know saying people need help now.”46which of the following is true of christopher thomas?ahe needs to go to the

expensive medicine to diabetics.dit owns a wellknown medical website.50the last paragraph suggests that thomas _.aworks fulltime in a diabetes charitybemploys 22 people for his websitechelps diabetics in his own waydtries to find a cure for diabetesdmotorists 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 japanone 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 mph20 km/hhas a slowmotion effect, making you almost carsick.”51.according to the passage，melody roads use_to create different notes.acars

teenager mike perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo (单独) around the world. the 17yearold made the record after he cleared the panama canal (巴拿马运河) and then sailed through the caribbean and home across the atlantic. mike is only three months younger than zac sunderland, the 17yearold american boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo aroundtheworld sailor in july. the two youngsters met in cape town in south africa as they crossed the globe in different directions. mike insisted they were not rival (竞争对手). “no. its two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime，” he said. mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. he picked up the hobby at age 6 when his father took him out in a small
