16.Eleven of the nation's biggest food and drink companies will adopt new rules to limit advertising to children under the age of 12,a move that restricts ads for products such as McDonald's Happy Meals and the use of popular catoon characters.
The companies announced their new rules ahead of a Federal Trade Commission hearing on Wednesday that steps up pressure on the companies tohelp solve the growing child obesity problem through more responsible marketing.The self-given rules include promises by seven companies who will no longer use licensed characters,such as those made popular through movies or TV shows,to advertise online or in print media unless hey're promoting their healthier products.Four other companies said they do not advertise at all to children under 12.
"I think this is a very good step forward.It's not the end of the journey but it's a good way down the road,"said Margo Wootan,Nutrition Policy Director at the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Since the FTC first publicly raised the issue in 2005,many of the companies have started selling products with better nutrition in mind.The companies hope their self-regulation efforts-organized through the Council of Better Business Bureaus-will fend off any new and more strict federal regulation.
Parents are happy to see new rules that restrict the use of cartoon characters such as Shrek,Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants."It catches their eyes when you're shopping,"said Josephine Thomas,a mother of three boys who lives in Manhattan."As soon as they see a Shrek or Mickey Mouse,they automatically look at that and they don't see what they really need.That's one of the biggest problems when you go shopping."That's one reason the food companies have said they will now only use licensed characters to advertise their"better for you"products.

A.may still use cartoon characters in advertising
B.will end the cooperation with entertainment media
C.are going to stop advertising to children under 12

6.MONTREAL (Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border(边界)to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen$10,000for breaking Washington's strict new security(安全)rules.
The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert,who lives right on the Canadian border.Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15,crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.The nearby Quebec village of St.Pamphile is where they shop,eat and go to church.
There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result,Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada,as usual.The US customs(海关)station in this are is closed on Sundays,so be just drove around the locked gate,as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May,following a tightening of border security.Two days later.Albert was told to go to the customs office,where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法).
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed,but the US stopped a similar program last May.That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine(罚款),but he has not attended a Sunday church since."I feel like I'm living in a prison,"he said.

8.Papa,as a son of a dirt-poor farmer,left school early and went to work in a factory,for education was for the rich then.So,the world became his school.With great interest,he read everything he could lay his hands on,listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown."There's so much to learn,"he'd say."Though we're born stupid,only the stupid remain that way."He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
  Thus,Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day.Though,as children,we thought this was crazy,it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request.And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned.We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant(微不足道的),it was never taken lightly.Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment,always to the point.
  Then came the moment-the time to share the day's new learning.
  Papa,at the head of the table,would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine,ready to listen.
"Felice,"he'd say,"tell me what you learned today."
"I learned that the population of Nepal is…"
  Silence.
  Papa was thinking about what was said,as if the salvation(拯救)of the world would depend upon it."The population of Nepal.Hmm.Well…"he'd say."Get the map; let's see where Nepal is."And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
  This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn.Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
  As ch ildren,we thought very little about these educational wonders.Our family,however,was growing together,sharing experiences and participating in one another's education.And by looking at us,listening to us,respecting our input,affirming(肯定) our value,giving us a sense of dignity(体面),Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
  Later during my training as a future teacher,I studied with some of the most famous educators.They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along-the value of continual learning.His technique has served me well all my life.Not a single day has been wasted,though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
