If you want to add a bit of attitude to your wardrobe(衣柜) this summer, a slogan T-shirt may be just what you are looking for.

Slogan T-shirts, also known as message T-shirts, have long been a means of telling the world what we care about. For instance, in the 1960s and 70s, people protesting against the Vietnam War got their message across with T-shirt slogans such as “Make Love Not War”.

In the 1980s, slogan T-shirts reached the peak of their popularity after British designer Katharine Hamnett’s “Choose Life” T-shirt was worn by pop band Wham in one of their music videos. Celebrities continue to play a role in popularizing the trend today. From Paris Hilton’s “I Love Shoes, Bags and Boys” to Eva Longoria’s “I Want More Privacy”; from Chris Martin’s “Stop Handgun Violence” to Jennifer Love Hewitt’s “Save the Future”, stars have been letting their T-shirts do the talking.

And 2011 has seen the emergence of a number of new T-shirt slogans. Here are some of the most popular ones: Save Japan!

This is a line of slogan T-shirts designed by celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Lady Gaga to support recovery efforts in earthquake-stricken Japan. The T-shirts feature words of encouragement from the celebrities, such as “Through Struggle We Unite and Overcome” from Orlando Bloom.

Public Enemy #1 Is Dead

Hours after Barack Obama announced the killing of Osama bin Laden, excited Americans started celebrating the death of the September 11 mastermind with T-shirt slogans including“Public Enemy #1 Is Dead” and“It Took Obama to Get Osama”, according to the Washington Post.

Thank You for the Day Off

This is a British royal wedding inspired T-shirt slogan, as the wedding day for William and Kate was made a public holiday in Britain. Even if you couldn’t care less about royal weddings, everybody loves a day off work! I heart NY

For better eyesight, doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.
However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia（近视）. An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia.
The research team found that the prevalence（流行）of myopia among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore.
Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities.
Jane Gwiazda, who does research in sight problems, says: “Natural light is good for eye growth. And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth.”
Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems perfect.
It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches, trouble reading or injuries. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students’ eyes.
If that is not possible, school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.

【小题1】What’s the aim of the study by the Australian research team ?

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the rightor the lefthand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
【小题1】According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

A．the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun

B．they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between

C．the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses

D．both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.
