A On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding bodies not only lead to a medical problem, but also endanger personal safety in some situations—in an airplane crash, for example, according to a recent article in The New York Times. The New York Times’ Christine Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are designed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards(标准) for airplane seat strength—first set more than 60 years ago---require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds. Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds and the average woman 165 pounds. Negroni reports: “If a heavier person completely fills a seat, the seat is not likely to behave as designed during a crash,” Robert Salzar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly”. “Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,”he said, “those people who are seated nearby could not be safe from the uncontrolled movements of the passenger.” Most complaints(投诉) about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators(调查者) got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to talk about the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said. Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem. 1.What is the article in The New York Times mainly about? A. The size of airplane seats and seat belts. B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers. C. Airplane crashes. D. A medical problem caused by being overweight. 2. Robert Salzar would probably agree that_________. A. overweight passengers should buy two seats B. the government should help produce safer planes C. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised D. passengers should know how to protect themselves 3. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Experts. B. Passengers. C. Investigators. D. The airplane seat makers. 4.We can learn from the text that_________. A. airplane seat makers have taken action now B. there are few complaints about airplane seats C. those seated near the overweight may suffer , too D. only a small number of airplane accidents result from the overweight 5. what is the best title for the text? A. Why do passengers Feel Anxious about Flying? B. Will 42% of Americans Be Overweight by 2030? C. When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight? D. Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight?

B A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian Project. It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina. Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality child-care center. The center offered educational, health and social programs. Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development. The program also included health foods for the children. The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years. The other group of children did not attend the child-care center. After the age of five, both groups attended public school. Researchers compared the two groups of children. When they were babies, both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills. However, from the age of eighteen months, the children in the educational child-care program did much better in tests. The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old. The tests found that the children who had been in the child-care center continued to have higher average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics. A few years ago, organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again. At the time, each student was twenty-one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability, employment, parenting and social skills. The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to be attending college or to have completed college. In addition, the children who received early education were older on average, when their first child was born. The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development. The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education. They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed. 1.The Abecedarian Project has lasted _______. A. almost one year B. about five years C. more than 20 years D. no more than 15 years 2.Those who had been in the child-care center _______ compared with those who hadn't. A. have their children at later ages B. get more help from other people C. have no parenting or social skills D. are poorer at reading and mathematics 3. What don't we know about the Abecedarian Project after reading the text? A. What the children learned at the child-care center. B. How important early education is for poor children. C. How many children are involved in the Abecedarian Project. D. Whether lawmakers will spend money on public early education. 4.The study of the Abecedarian Project shows that early education _______. A. costs a lot of money B. leads to a lower birthrate C. can improve the life of poor children D. is not important for later development
