Should Sugar Be Regulated like Alcohol and Tobacco?
Sugar poses enough health risks that it should be considered a controlled substance just like alcohol and tobacco, argue a team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
In an opinion piece called \"The Toxic (毒性的) Truth About Sugar\" published Feb. 1 in Nature, Robert Lustig, Laura Schmidt and Claire Brindis argue that it's wrong to consider sugar just \"empty calories.\" They write: \"There is nothing empty about these calories. A growing body of scientific evidence is showing that fructose (果糖) can trigger processes that lead to liver toxicity and a host of other chronic diseases. A little is not a problem, but a lot kills-slowly.\"
Almost everyone's heard of-or personally experienced-the well-known sugar high, so perhaps the comparison between sugar and alcohol or tobacco shouldn't come as a surprise. But it's doubtful
that Americans will look favorably upon regulating their favorite vice. We're a nation that's sweet on sugar: the average US adult downs 22 teaspoons of sugar a day, according to the American Heart Association, and surveys have found that teens swallow 34 teaspoons.
To counter our consumption, the authors advocate taxing sugary foods and controlling sales to kids under 17. Already, 17% of US children and teens are obese (肥胖的), and across the world the sugar intake (摄入) has increased three times in the past 50 years. The increase has helped create a global obesity plague that contributes to 35 million annual deaths worldwide from noninfectious diseases including cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Linda Matzigkeit, a senior vice president at Children's Healthcare, said \"We have to do something about this or our country is in danger. It's not good if your state has the second-highest obesity rate. Obese children turn into obese adults. \"
\"There are good calories and bad calories, just as there are good fats and bad fats, good amino acids (氨基酸) and bad amino acids,\" Lustig, director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health program at UCSF, said in a statement. \"But sugar is toxic beyond its calories.\"
The food industry tries to imply that \"a calorie is a calorie,\" says Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University. \"But this and other research suggests there is something different about sugar,\" says Brownell.
The UCSF report emphasizes the metabolic (新陈代谢的) effects of sugar. Excess sugar can alter metabolism, raise blood pressure, affect the signaling of hormones and damage the liver-outcomes that sound suspiciously similar to what can happen after a person drinks too much alcohol. Schmidt, co-chair of UCSF's Community Engagement and Health Policy program, noted on CNN: \"When you think about it, this actually makes a lot of sense. Alcohol, after all, is simply made from sugar. Where does vodka come from? Sugar. \"
But there are also other areas of impact that researchers have investigated: the effect of sugar on the brain and how liquid calories are interpreted differently by the body than solids. Research has suggested that sugar activates the same reward pathways in the brain as traditional drugs of abuse like morphine or heroin. No one is claiming the effect of sugar is quite that strong, but, says Brownell, \"it helps confirm what people tell you sometimes, that they hunger for sugar and have withdrawal symptoms when they stop eating it.\"
There's also something particularly tricky about sugary drinks. \"When calories come in liquids, the body doesn't feel as full,\" says Brownell. \"People are getting more of their calories than ever before from sugared drinks.\"
Other countries, including France, Greece and Denmark, impose soda taxes, and the concept is being considered in at least 20 US cities and states. Last summer, Philadelphia came close to passing a 2-cents-per-ounce soda tax. The Rudd Center has been a strong advocate of a more modest 1-cent-per-ounce tax. But at least one study, from 2010, has raised doubts that soda taxes would result in significant weight loss: apparently people who are determined to eat- and
drink-unhealthily will find ways to do it. Teens-no surprise-are good at finding ways to get the things they can't have, so state policies banning all sugar-sweetened drinks from public schools and providing only water, milk or 100% fruit juices haven't had the intended effect of steering kids away from drinking sugared drinks: the average teen consumes about 300 calories per day-that's nearly 15% of his daily calories-in sweetened drinks, and the food and drink industry is only too happy to feed this need.
Ultimately, regulating sugar will prove particularly tricky because it goes beyond health concerns; sugar, for so many people, is love. A plate of cut-up vegetables just doesn't pack the same emotional punch as a tin of home-made chocolate chip cookies (饼干), which is why I took my daughter out for a cupcake and not an apple as an after-school treat today. We don't do that regularly-it's the first time this school year, actually-and that's what made it special. As a society, could we ever reach the point where we'd think apples-not a cupcake-are something to get excited over? Says Brindis, one of the report's authors and director of UCSF's Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies: \"We recognize that there are cultural and celebratory aspects of sugar. Changing these patterns is very complicated.\"
For inroads (进展) to be made, say the authors in their statement, people have to be better educated about the hazards of sugar and agree that something's got to change:
Many of the interventions (干预) that have reduced alcohol and tobacco consumption can be models for addressing the sugar problem, such as imposing special sales taxes, controlling access, and tightening licensing requirements on vending machine (自动售货机) and snack-bars that sell high sugar products in schools and workplaces.
\"We're not talking prohibition,\" Schmidt said. \"We're not advocating a major imposition of the government into people's lives. We're talking about gentle ways to make sugar consumption slightly less convenient, thereby moving people away from the concentrated dose. What we want is to actually increase people's choices by making foods that aren't loaded with sugar comparatively easier and cheaper to get.\"

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
When Carly Fiorina became Hewlett-Packard's first female chief executive officer, the existence of her househusband, Frank Fiorina, who had retired early from AT&T to support her career, was a mini-sensation（小轰动）; now this arrangement isn't -- 47 -- at all. Seven of the 18 women who are -- 48 -- CEOs of Fortune 500 companies-including Xerox's Ursula Burns and PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi-have, or at some point have had, a stay-at-home husband. So do scores of -- 49 -- CEOs of smaller companies and women in other senior executive jobs.
This role change is -- 50 -- more and more as women edge past men at work. Women now -- 51 -- a majority of jobs in the US, including 51.4 percent of managerial and professional -- 52 -- , according to US Census Bureau data.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. but making the transition（转变）between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There're few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine 1 ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing（裁员）and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I'm back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.
These lessons I'm learning, however valuable, are always tinged（带有）with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. \"This job pays well, but it's hell on the body,\" said one co-worker. \"Study hard and keep reading,\" she added.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Are people suffering from gadget（小器具）overload? Are they exhausted by the consumer equivalent of the brain fatigue-information overload that is caused by constant updates of devices and online media?
Underwriters Laboratories issued a report last week that found 48% of consumers \"feel high-tech manufacturers bring new products to market faster than people need them.\"
There are two possible explanations. The first, obvious one is that the pace of innovation（创新）is too fast for consumers. The second less obvious one is that, in fact, innovation is too slow. That is, the new offerings companies are pushing out the door every six months or so are me-too products or ones with just a couple of new features. Marketing schedules, not product innovation, are driving the corporate（公司的）train. Manufacturers in America valued \"speed to market\" more than in other countries, the report found.
Sara Greenstein, Underwriters Laboratories' chief strategy officer, offered her interpretation of the survey results. \"Innovation is too fast only if corners are cut.\"
For the high-tech sector, there are a few other interesting findings. Consumers are less concerned about safety in high-tech products than categories like fresh and processed food. But their top safety concerns are emissions and wireless radio waves. Many people, it seems, are uneasy living in a thickening cloud of radio waves from mobile phone towers and the gadgets they
communicate with.
A finding that was a hit surprising is that to consumers, the inner parts of high-tech devices do apparently matter. Some 55% of consumers, according to the report, said they are \"more concerned about where high-tech components come from than where the product was assembled.\"
The report doesn't really say how that information would affect consumer buying decisions. It could be complicated. Manufacturing companies on average rely on more than 35 contract suppliers around the world to create a single product. That number would be higher for a smartphone laptop.
But maybe some sort of supply-chain labeling showing where parts come from in a product? \"We're working on it,\" Ms. Greenstein said.

64. What do American businesses give priority to when marketing their products? A) The constant updating of their technology. B) The speed of putting them on the market. C) The quality of their new products. D) The pace of product innovation.

Part V Cloze (15 minutes)
Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Strong emotional bonds between mothers and infants increase children's willingness to explore the world-an effect that has been observed --67-- the animal kingdom. in people, monkeys and even spiders. The more secure we are in our --68-- to Mom, the more likely we arc to try new things and take risks. Now researchers are discovering that this effect continues into adulthood. A --69-- reminder of Mom's touch or the sound of her voice on the phone is --70-- to change people's minds and moods, --71-- their decision making in measurable way.
In a study --72-- online in April in Psychological Science, undergraduate business students had to choose between safe bets and risky gambles-a bond with a guaranteed 4 percent yearly --73-- or a riskier stock option, for example. In half the cases, the experimenters patted the students --74-- on the back of the shoulder for about one second --75-- providing verbal（口头的）instructions about the study. Both male and female students who were touched by a female experimenter were --76-- more likely to choose the risky alternative --77-- were those who had not been touched or were patted by male experimenters. The reassuring（宽慰的）touch of a woman may have induced early associations, --78-- the same openness to exploration that is observed in young children of --79-- mothers, explains Jonathan Levav, a business professor at Columbia University and lead author of the study.
To further --80-- that a woman's touch links feelings of security --81-- risk taking, the researchers asked a --82-- group of undergraduates to make financial decisions after a writing exercise. Half of them wrote about a time they felt secure and supported. whereas the --83-- half wrote about feeling insecure and alone. Evoking（唤起）a --84-- of insecurity made students in the latter group -85-- receptive to the gentle shoulder pats from female experimenters and much more willing to take a risk-just as a child leaving for a field trip might steal one last reassuring hug -- 86Mom before stepping on the bus.

参考答案： 【高分范文】 Education Pays
The bar chart given by US Bureau of Labor Statistics reflects the unemployment rate in 2010 among people with different educational backgrounds. From these statistics, it can be seen that the higher degree one possesses, the less likely he is to be unemployed.
Generally speaking, two factors have contributed to this phenomenon. For one thing, the advancement technology and the adjustment of industrial structure lead to a dramatic demand of work forces with high educational degrees. Therefore, it is natural for people with higher educational degrees to enjoy a steadier and better-paying job. For another, those with lower educational degrees tend to be dismissed and substituted more frequently because their jobs which usually feature low technologies can be done by anybody.
As far as I am concerned, education is indeed a worthy investment. First, as individuals, we should attach great importance to education. Second, the government and authorities should adopt relevant measures to ensure the equity of education. Only in this way can more people get the tickets to a much more comfortable life.
