1.The US government has started a website,Admongo,to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them.It claims to provide visitors with an"education"through games and other entertainment.
       A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo."Call me Haiz",he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it.Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
       Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities.Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
       The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things:To identify the advertiser.To know what the advertiser is really saying.And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
       Children learn these things through a video game.They create their own game character.They can choose different skin colors,hair styles,eye and mouth shapes.Then they begin a trip through ad-land,where there are ads on buses and billboards.The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
       The Admongo game takes players inside a home,to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found.It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
       One such area is food marketing.The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business.The FTC estimates that food,drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
       The FTC says children are important for three reasons.They buy products.They influence parents and caregivers to buy.And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
       A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value.First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.

12.In its first ever National Building Competition,the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) challenged the teams from across the nation to cut wasteful energy use in buildings where they live and work.Family and commercial ladings together consume 40 percent of U.S.energy and the Obama Administration is eager to show how that load can be reduced.
In recent remarks at a university.President Barack Obama promoted a plan that could help commercial buildings achieve greater energy efficiency (效率).
"Making our buildings more energy-efficient is one of the fastest,easiest and cheapest ways to save money,fight against pollution and create jobs right here in the United States of America,"he said.He also inspected the research labs where scientists are working on new technologies designed to cut energy waste in commercial buildings.
Stores like the Sears department store in Maryland,which took second prize in the contest,are already using some of those technologies.As part of the store's bid to cut its energy use,every one of the building's 24 rooftop AC (交流电) units was checked and repaired.Every light bulb-all 15,000 of them-was replaced with a more efficient one.And sensors were installed (安装)to shut lights off in offices and storerooms when no one is around.Taken together these changes helped the Sears store reduce its building energy consumption by more than one-third and cut electric bills by $ 46,000.
Office buildings can also achieve impressive energy savings.The tenants of a 12-story building in Virginia managed to cut the building's energy consumption by 28 percent as part of the EPA competition.
"Whether it's an office building or a department store,a school or church,the EPA energy challenge showed that there's always room for improvement",says Jennifer Amann with the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy,

9.In 1986,when Carlo Petrini first coined the term"Slow Food,"he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food.
Today,slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85,000 members,addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship-the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments,to contribute to healthy and livable communities.
Characterized by Slow Food International as"good,clean,and fair food,"slow food must enrich the eaters life,have no negative impact on human or environmental health,and compensate fairly for food producers'work.
The average American meal travels about 1500 miles to its final destination,with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country
However,cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the food industry that the environment faces.Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices like inefficient water use and decreased biodiversity.Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature^ways of doing things.A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify natures complexities,at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.
‘Slowing"food,by purchasing locally and sustainably,allows consumers to reduce the impact of"food miles"and develop a closer relationship with their food producers."We need to change our food system,"said David Prior,organizer of Slow Food Nation奂 Eat-In."Our current food system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the right to nutritious food."

6.Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all,while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit,according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
"Shoppers need to check the labels(标签)before buying drinks,though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,"said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove."Food production is highly competitive(71)D.It will increase profits,and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked."
    Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits,meats and vegetables,or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores.(72)COf the 11 products that did contain strawberries,five of them contained less than one percent real fruit.In addition,each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.(73)BLet's take jam as an example.Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors,flavors,or sweeteners,but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.(74)GConsumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought.Under current UK law.Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring."Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of stawberries is misleading.(75)FUnfortunatcly,it is also legal and widespread,"Tokelove said.
   
A.The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B.Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C.They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all.
D.If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring,they are likely to do so.
E.It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F.Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G.The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
13.When I was just 16,my father decided to turn an old guesthouse into a hotel,and he experimented with everything.None of us had ever worked in a hotel before,but my dad was sure of what guests would like to see.
For a month that summer,I served as a waitress at breakfast and dinner,which gave me the middle of the day free for studying.Like all the others,I did what the instructions said and treated the guests as though they were special visitors in my own home.
I soon learned how to deal with the most daunting person in the kitchen:the cook,Gordon.He had a great ability to become very angry for no clear reason.I avoided him as much as possible and always took the dishes with a frozen expression on my face which was turned into a sweet smile in the space between kitchen and dining room.
Breakfast waitressing was,I found,more enjoyable than the dinner service.The guests came wandering into the dining room,looking with appreciation at the view of the sea and islands through the dining room window.It was funny how differently people behaved in the evenings,dressed up and talking with louder,colder voices,not always returning my smile.However,that all changed when dad created a special role for me.
It began with a few common cakes for the guests'packed lunches and progressed to fancy cakes for afternoon teas.This led to the climax:a nightly show known as Lucy's Sweet Trolley.Every evening,I carried the most amazing collection of cakes and other desserts.Most were things I had invented myself and I had cooked all of them.Some-Jacobit Grenades,Mocha Genghis Khan and Goat's Milk Bavarios to name a few-were really strange.It was dad's idea that I should dress smartly and stop at each table and recite the name of each dish.
21.What did the people working at the hotel have in common?D
A.They all understood the guests'expectations.
B.They all studied at the middle of the day.
C.they all had enough experience.
D.They all followed the rules.
22.What does the underlined word"daunting"in Paragraph 3mean?D
A.CarefulB.NervousC.InterestingD.Frightening
23.Why did Lucy enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners?A
A.The guests were friendlier.
B.There were more types of food to satisfy the guests.
C.The dining room was quieter.
D.The guests dressed up for the beginning of a new day.
24.What was special about the food on Lucy's Sweet Trolley?B
A.It was based on traditional dishes.
B.It contained a number of new creations.
C.It was made following her father's instructions.
D.It was prepared along with the food for lunches.
