newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. the promoters of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability. often such products are nothing more than money-making 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 (证明) under the food, drug, and cosmetic act that it 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 devices 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. costlyc. unreliabled. illegal2. which of the following is true

my hand,” said one teacher. “ i broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,” said another. many people have heard stories like this. but the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents wealth and class. and we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. but with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of ignoring the latter.far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. this is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents.my members tell me that parents also come into school often and threaten staff and some staff have been attacked by a pupils parents. one father encouraged his child to start a fight on the playground before school started. a primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him. we need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers.children will not learn how to behave as social beings if they are stuck in front of the tv for hours every day. they need their parents to show an interest in them and to spend time with them, helping them to play with their peers(同龄人) and to learn the rules of social behavior.children are now arriving at school socially undeveloped, increasingly unable to dress themselves, unable to use the toilet properly, unable to hold a knife and fork and unused to eating at a table, mary bousted, general secretary of the association of teachers and lecturers, writes in todays observer. instead of taking responsibility themselves, too many parents expect teachers to control their childrens behaviour and wellbeing, she adds. bousted says one mother blamed staff when she discovered that her 16-year-old son was smoking.we are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. the bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed(沉迷于) in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.67. in the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?a. the violence in the school. b. the study pressure of students.c. the responsibilities of the students. d. the right to achieve students potential.68. the underlined part in paragraph 7 means _.a. parents care little about childrens life at homeb. parents and children live in their separate roomsc. children dont live with their parents in the same housed. children live a different life from that of parents at home69. the authors attitude to the behaviour of parents may be _.a. dissatisfied b. indifferent c. understanding d. tolerant70. from the last paragraph, we can infer that _.a. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parentsb. schools cant correct the wrongs that society does to teachersc. students are responsible for making themselves known in societyd. parents should spend time with children to make them ready to learn【参考答案】6770、caad社会现象类(2013湖北，d)a german study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.the paper, published this march in psychology and aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40,000 germans between ages 18 and 96.the surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.the researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middleaged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“we observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade，” wrote frieder rlang, a professor at the university of erlangennuremberg.lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions(预防措施)，”the authors wrote.surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.the authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.however, the researchers said a pattern was clear.“we found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic，” the authors concluded.5according to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?aoptimistic adults. bmiddleaged adults.cadults in poor health. dadults of lower income.解析细节理解题。由文章第四段第一句话“the researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39)
