20、d 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubledtoo quickly for genetic factors to be responsible.

22、ways we cant understand. Even the most vigilant(警觉的) people may not be up to the task of controlling themselves. 3. Lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables is responsible for obesity.

28、923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was considered carefree, liked to tease Luce and saw TIME as important but also fun.

29、ecriticized as too light for serious news. It tells the news through people, and for many decades, the magazines cover depicted a single person. On Haddens death in 1929, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media. TIME is also known for its si

30、gnature red border, first introduced in 1927. It has only changed four times since then. The issue released shortly after the September 11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourning. However, this edition was a special “extra” edition published quickly for the breakin

31、g news of the event; the next regularly scheduled issue contained the red border. Additionally, the April 28, 2008 Earth Day issue, dedicated to environmental issues, contained a green border.

32、ptember 11 attacks with a metallic silver border. The most recent change(again with a silver border) was in the December 31, 2012 issue, noting Barack Obamas selection as Man of the Year. TIME has a division magazine, TIME FOR KIDS(TFK), which is especially published for children and is mainly distr

33、ibuted in classrooms. TFK contains some national news, a “Cartoon of the Week”, and a variety of articles concerning popular culture that the younger U.S. citizens are interested in.

37、ften use camcorders(便携式摄像机) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters(大片) in the local theater. These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free. “Its unfair for people to pirate movies, ” says 15-year-old Hadaia A

38、zad Ezzulddin. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees. Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaias idea uses infr

39、ared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by ma

40、ny types of cameras. To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. Then, she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders.

41、During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的） in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave out infrared light. Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It

42、 might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates. Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real m

43、ovie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films now produced arent profitable. They dont make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to become blockbuster hits. It mi

A. most people spend less money on pirates movesB. the pirates dont have to pay for the movie ticketsC. theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD.
