【题目】The World Health Organization says the widespread use of sugar in food products and drinks is a major concern in many areas. So WHO officials are calling on governments to require taxes on sugary drinks in an effort to limit their usage and popularity. The officials believe the taxes also would reduce the risk of health problems resulting from obesity.

Obesity is a condition in which the body stores large, unhealthy amounts of fat. Obese individuals are considered overweight. A new report says that in 2014 more than one-third of the adults in the world were overweight, and 500 million were considered obese. The United Nations agency estimates that in 2015, 42 million children under age 5 were either overweight or obese. It says that number represents an increase of about 11 million during the past 15 years. Almost half of these boys and girls live in Asia and one-fourth in Africa.

The U.N. agency blames unhealthy diets for a rise in diabetes cases. There are 422 million cases of the disease worldwide. WHO says 1.5 million people die from it every year.

Temo Waqanivalu is with the agency’s Department for the Prevention on Non-Communicable Diseases. He told VOA hat taxing sugary drinks would reduce consumption and save lives. Waganivalu noted that Mexico enacted a 10 percent tax on sugary drinks in 2014. He said by the end of the year, there was a 6 percent drop in the consumption of such drinks. Among poor people, the number of people who consumed sugary drinks dropped by 17 percent.

【题目】1 We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it's our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

1. Identify and understand what you want to change. The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 2 When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

2.3

We all need to know that what we're trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

3. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life. To be able to overcome all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.

4. Choose the right company. As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 4

5. 5 Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don't believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Believe that you are able to change.

B. Look for a role model.

C. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.

D. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

E. Our personalities and attitudes are developed through our relationships and experiences.

F. It is right to try hard to have a strong mind.

G. Our attitude towards life determines life's attitude towards us.

【题目】There is really little doubt that the British are different from other members of the European Community as some recent statistics demonstrate(说明). Take marriage for instance. Nowhere else in Europe—except for Portugal—has fewer marriages. Yet Britain has the highest divorce rate-almost half of all marriages end up on the rocks. Italian couples are six times more likely to stick together. Of those who divorce, British men seem far more willing to take another chance than women divorcées.

However, Britain measures up pretty well in other departments. It is the second safest place in Europe to drive a car, beaten only by Norway. There are many more fatal road accidents in France, Spain and Portugal. Also, the reputation the British have for being work-shy is not confirmed(确认) by statistics. At an average of forty-four hours a week they beat even the hard-working Germans by four hours. Unfortunately, there is a downside to this. Britain and Holland share the worst rates of job absenteeism(旷工) in the whole of Europe. The Dutch and the British, so alike in many superficial(表面的) senses, differ markedly in one area: The British lock up twice as many people as the Dutch do.

2Divorced men in Britain ______ .
