The Walt Disney Company

7、 has become the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices. First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the childrens entertainme

8、nt industry. “Just a few years ago, if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldnt see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldnt have believed you, ” said the First Lady, who heads a campaign to help stop child

9、 obesity . The ban would apply to Disney-owned ABC stations as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids menus at theme parks and resorts （度假胜地）. Fast-food options will be replaced with healthier choice

10、s, such as smoothies （果汁）, apples, vegetables and yogurt. In addition to candy bars and fast-food meals, other foods that dont meet Disneys nutritional standards will be banned from the companys kid-targeted media. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving will be off the air. There will

11、 be no ads for full meals of more than 600 calories. Juices with high levels of sugar and foods with too much salt will also be pulled. Leslie Goodman, Disneys senior vice-president of Corporate Citizenship, said a company that wants to advertise will need to show that it offers a range of healthy o

12、ptions. Disney isnt the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity. 16. What

13、 will the Walt Disney Company do from 2015? A. Produce more and better cartoons for young kids. B. Help kids develop healthy lifestyle in the program. C.

15、o fight child obesity, kids should _. A. watch fewer cartoons B. take more physical exerciseC. not go to movie theaters D. drink less sugary drinksBA recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation （BBC） has caused a stir in China and in the UK. The documentary, titled Are Our Ki

16、ds Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire. The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea

17、is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance. The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, whi

18、le the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy. This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning（死记硬背）instead of independent thinking. For i

19、nstance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment（情操） from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching. Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, sa

20、ys, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may n

21、ot work that well when simply transplanted into another place.” Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works

22、for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”19.

24、ding to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods _. A. fit all countries B. are the best in the worldC. could be improved D. are not as good as British methodsCEtymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms. Yet etymologi

25、sts actually have a uniquely interesting job. They are in many ways just like archaeologists （考古学家） digging up the physical history of people and events. The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind.The English language,

26、in particular, is a great field to explore history through words. As a language, English has an extraordinary number of words. This is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily. For example, “English” words such as kindergarten （from German）, croissant （from French）, and cheetah （f

27、rom Hindi） have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings. So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore.Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries （谜）. No, etymologists do not g

28、o around solving murders, like the great detective Sherlock Holmes. What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words.One of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK. Though it is one of the most commonl

29、y used expressions, its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day. Even its spelling is not entirely consistent- unless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word.Etymologists have been able to narrow OKs origin down to a likely, although not certain, source （来源）. It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Burens run for president in 1840. His nickname was Old Kinderhook. What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known. I
