Were eating way too much of it. Most of us know what were doing and yet we do it anyway.So heres a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how its displayed?Many policy measures to control obesity （肥胖症）assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods, note the two researchers.In contrast, the researchers continue, many regulations that dont assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance - like food - of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems.The research references studies of peoples behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol arent handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted （分配）based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that arent primarily food stores?Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you cant buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where theyre easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.56. What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?A. They should be implemented effectively.B. They provide misleading information.C. They are based on wrong assumptions.D. They help people make rational choices.57. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?A. Few people are able to resist alcohols temptations.B. There are already too many stores selling alcohol.C. Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D. Easy access leads to customers over-consumption.58. What is the purpose of Californias rule about alcohol display in gas stations?A. To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B. To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking.C. To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.D. To get alcohol out of drivers immediate sight.59. What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?A. Guiding people to make rational choices about food.B. Enhancing peoples awareness of their own health.C. Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.D. Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means B Its said that someone somewhere in the world is always eating sushi (寿司). Its the healthy snack of choice for people of all cultures.There are different recipes (食谱) for making sushi. This one is really easy and fun. Try it!Ingredientsl 200 grams of raw salmon (三文鱼) in one piece (other raw fish like tuna is fine)l 2 cups of ricel 2 cups of waterl 1/2 cups of vinegarl 1 teaspoon of saltl 2 tablespoons of sugarl Wasabi (芥末酱)l Japanese soy sauce (酱油)Instructionsl Wash your hands before you start.l Put the sugar and salt in the vinegar (醋) to make a mixture. Keep it in a container.l Boil the rice in the 2 cups of water. This is a little less water than usual to make the rice slightly harder.l Leave the rice to cool down for 10 minutes after its boiled.l Put the rice into a large container. Add half of the mixture.l Mix it all together with your hands. Keep mixing until it sticks together. You may need to add more of the mixture.l Let the rice cool down.l Wet your hands. Make balls of rice. Each one should be about the size of a table tennis ball.l Take a sharp knife and cut the salmon into thin slices. Each slice should be about 3 mm thick.l With the rice ball in one hand, press the cut salmon on top. Make it into a rectangular (矩形的) shape.l Put the sushi on a plate.l Put a little wasabi and soy sauce in a small dish.l Serve the sushi to your friends. It goes well with green tea.Attentionl The biggest concern people have about sushi is its freshness. Raw fish can attract bacteria, which can make us ill or even cause death. When choosing a whole fish, the eyes should be clear. The skin should be bright and smooth and not breaking-up. When choosing cut fish, the meat ought not to give off an unpleasant smell. It should also “bounce back” at you when you touch it. In other words, it should look fairly hard. Dont buy sushi in the street. Buy from shops or supermarkets that others can recommend.l Lots of wasabi also helps kill bacteria. It also makes your head want to explode.60. To make sushi more delicious, you may as well _. A. pour some green tea into rice B. eat it with a bit soy sauce and wasabi C. add as much wasabi as possible to get a healthy snack D. choose cooked fish rather than fish that are uncooked61. What does this passage mainly discuss? A. Making sushi is easy and fun B. popular Japanese fast food C. Making your own sushi D. There are different recipes for making sushi62. We can infer from the passage that _. A. Sushi has become a multi-billion industry B. Making sushi is a demanding job for every one C. Sushi is popular not only in Japan but also in China D. You should buy sushi in shops or supermarkets only on peoples recommendation CBarack Obama urged congressional leaders on Monday to act quickly to pass a huge stimulus package for the U.S. economy. He met with a bipartisan (concerning or involving two different political parties) group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Later he met individually with Democratic and Republican House and Senate leaders and spoke to a bipartisan leadership gathering. In comments to reporters early on Monday, he emphasized the urgency of finalizing economic legislation (立法). “We have got an extraordinary economic challenge ahead of us,” he said, “We are expecting a sobering job report at the end of the week. Nancy Pelosi and her staff have been extraordinarily helpful in working with our team so that we can shape an economic recovery and reinvestment plan that starts putting people back to work.”Mr. Obama wants tax cuts for individual Americans and businesses to make up a significant portion of expected legislation. This could involve as much as $300 billion of a bill that is likely to go beyond $700 billion and include aid to cash-poor U.S. states, and money for alternative energy and a range of infrastructure (基础设施) projects. Later, Mr. Obama said he expects to be able to sign legislation as soon as the end of this month, adding that quick action is necessary to “break the drive of the U.S. economic depression”.Emerging later from bipartisan talks with Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers discussed with the president how to pass a stimulus package as quickly as possible. “An economic recovery package that will create jobs immediately and will grow the economy and that is what we talked about today,” said Nancy Pelosi. “How we could do this fast, deliberatively and to act upon it soon.” Just how soon that would be, Pelosi would not say.How much support Democrats can obtain from Republicans will depend on the details. But the severity of the U.S. economic depression has created considerable bipartisan backing for quick action. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid said: “There are investments that we need to make on behalf of the American people to turn around this economy. We felt very good about the meeting; we are confident that we can do this and we have to do this.”“I think the bes
