The Prime Minister, John Howard, last week decided that $116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity, while the Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, recently announced that his party would move to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements. Clare Colins , a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle, believes such programs will definitely fail unless they influence the way of life of whole families. If we can t get parents to take action against their own weight problems, then we can t expect to influence their kids, she said.However, Professor, Louise Baur from the Children s Hospital at Westmead, doubts whether adult education programs offer any solution to weight problems. Many parents know they need to lose weight and they knew it influences their kids, but they lack the willpower to do anything about it. The l0-year study of 150 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight. Only one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight. The president of the Australasian Society for the Study of Obesity, Associate Professor Gary Wittert, said parents needed help in doing their job and the Opposition Partys policy（政策） might be on the right track. We know that driving without a seat belt is unsafe, so we make law against it,” he said.Obesity is a major public health concern, so why shouldnt we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads?1. What does the underlined phrase “juvenile obesity” mean?A. Adult education. B. Childhood overweight C. Parents influence D. Growing pains2.Both Collins and Baur believe that overweight parents_,A. will come up with better solutionsB. will help with their children s educationC. should be more active in reducing weightD. should carry out at least 10 years study3. According to some experts, the Opposition Partys policy_.A. can help fight against unemploymentB. may protect kids from unhealthy food adsC. should be brought back to the right trackD. will work well to prevent traffic accidents参考答案13、BCB 社会文化（阅读理解）由 (2010北京,C)改编Pacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife,but Betty never seemed to have anything to say.While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation,Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk.The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game.When our habits are similar,theres no problem.But if our habits are different,you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished.Thats what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty,who expected relatively longer pauses between turns,is British,and Sara,who expected relatively shorter pauses,is American.Betty often felt interrupted by Sara.But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland.And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon,then,is that the small conversation techniques,like pacing and pausing,lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities.These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式).And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences.For example,a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel.When the Personnel Department got together for meetings,she kept searching for the right time to break inand never found it.Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident,in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring.When she was evaluated at the end of the year,she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.Thats why slight differences in conversational styletiny little things like microseconds of pausecan have a great effect on ones life.The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problemseven in the mind of the woman herself,who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.1.What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?()A.Betty was talkative.B.Betty was an interrupter.C.Betty did not take her turn.D.Betty paid no attention to Sara.2.According to the passage,who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?()A.Americans.B.Israelis.C.The British.D.The Finns.3.We can learn from the passage that .A.communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB.women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC.ones inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD.one should receive training to build up ones confidence4.The underlined word “assertiveness” in the last paragraph probably means .A.being willing to speak ones mindB.being able to increase ones powerC.being ready to make ones own judgmentD.being quick to express ones ideas confidently语篇解读:本文为说明文。沟通方式的不同可能就会造成说话双方的误解,即便是一个小小的停顿都会有很大的影响。答案及剖析:1.C事实细节题。根据第一段的第二句While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation可知。2.B推理判断题。根据文章的第三段所叙述的内容可以判断出选择B项。3.C推理判断题。通过对全文的理解以及第三段、第四段的例子可以得出结论。4.D猜测词义题。根据第四段对这位女士的描述可以得知她的问题出在哪里,因此D项符合题意。【长难句子分析】The general phenomenon,主语 then, is系动词 thatthe small conversation techniques,like pacing and pausing,表语从句 lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style表语从句 but about personality and abilities.表语从句普遍的现象就是(说话人)闲聊的技巧,例如节奏和停顿,会使人们在(对说话人)下结论时倾向于(他的)人品和能力而不是沟通的方式有问题。主句的谓语动词是is,后面带表语从句,从句中的谓语动词是lead。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 【2013界广东省韶关市】 Just as some people think that certain numbers are lucky or unlucky, others believe that we can use numbers to understand our personalities, or predict what will happen to us in the future. Numerology is a way of using numbers to describe a persons character, and to make predictions about future life events. Numerologists use the numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 also known as the “master” numbers to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny. Numerologists consider your Life Path number to be the most significant because this number describes your character. To find this number, add together all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this persons life path number is 7(3+4). Numerologists believe that people with this number are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved. Your Expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. Numerologists assign a number between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your name. These numbers are then added together in the same way as before to find your Expression number. Numerologists can also do calculations to predict when the most challenging periods of your life will be. Numerologists also believe that the day a person is born is important. Each day of the month has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachments to family and home. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and imaginative, and often make good writers. If we calculate the numerical value of our name and birth date, numerologists believe that we can learn more about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we may face along the way. To the numerologist, numbers can be used in many more ways than we think. 26. If a person was born on November 8, 1995, what is his Life Path number?

Not today. Your brother, she says, hes showered twice this afternoon. Does he know how much it costs to run this house? Are we limiting water now? I didnt think the recession(萧条) had got that bad. My poor brother is a boomerang kid. Like 60 percent of guys immediately after university, hes back at home. Graduating 15,000 in debt and faced with unpaid internships(实习期) or low wages thanks to the flooding of the market with graduates, a lot of twentysomethings simply dont have the necessary income or parental support to live independently. Three years after getting their degree, most graduates are still not earning above the average salary. They have a near 50 percent tax burden, thanks to student loan repayments and council tax on top of income tax and national insurance. Unless you have parents who can afford to finance what is effectively a second home for them, returning to the parental nest is often the only affordable option. The boomerang effect is becoming even more pronounced thanks to the recession. One in four of those losing their job during the downturn is under 25. Only 13 percent of final-year students have jobs. Home is the only place many are going: 111,000 16-29 year olds moved back home in 2008, five times the average of previous years. Boomeranging is bad news. It poses serious problems for parents finances. Theyve already supported their children through university, topping up loans with handouts, averaging 12,300 in total, to keep twentysomethings afloat. Now their retirement savings are being eaten away by continuously dependent children. Its bad for the returning kids too. Ambitious young people will be left frustrated, seeing their university peers from more wealthy backgrounds excel only because parents money was there to support them through the initial period of poverty wages. Those living in rural areas are further disadvantaged by lack of access to cities where most new jobs are located. Half of all young people now feel they will not achieve their goals. Research by the Princes Trust reveals that one-quarter of all 16-25 year olds are regularly down or depressed. And depression does not help self-motivation, the very trait needed to seek out job opportunities. 31. In paragraph 1, the mothers criticizing her son for showering too often shows _.
