An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.

“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”

But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.

But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”

However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.

Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”

4. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ______.

A. to change the working conditions of models

B. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death

C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness

D. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders

5. In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because _______.

A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit

B. the fashion industry is much too influential

C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models

D. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well

6. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?

A. Being interviewed by a reporter.

B. Establishing his fashion model agent.

C. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.

D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.

7. According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is _____ .

A. practical B. controversial

C. acceptable D. reasonable

【答案】4. D    5. B    6. C    7. B

C

Recently,a competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo. So what is Versailles literature?

Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese comics series about aristocratic(贵族化的)life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast(吹牛)pretended as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate?” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.

As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more cheating than the appearance of modesty.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging? published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in search of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.

However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are thought more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.

So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back? “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”

8. Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”?

A. You know who my father is? My father is Li Gang.

B. Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.

C. It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.

D. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.

9. What is the psychology behind humblebragging?

A. To win others’ sympathy. B. To earn others’ admiration.

C. To show his/her sincerity. D. To mask his/her complaint.

10. What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. indirect. B. straightforward. C. unclear. D. double-edged.

11 What can’t be inferred from the passage?

A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.

B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.

C. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.

D. If you want to be viewed positively, avoid using Versailles literature.

【答案】8 B    9. B    10. A    11. D

D

Researchers from the MIT Media Lab, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Northeastern University used a robotic teddy bear, “Huggable”, across the Boston Children’s Hospital. More than 50 hospitalized children were divided into three groups that involved Huggable, a tablet-based virtual Huggable, or a traditional toy teddy bear. In general, the robotic Huggable improved various patient outcomes over the other two choices.

When first designed, Huggable was operated remotely by a specialist outside a child’ s room for the moment. Through software, a specialist could control the robot’s facial expressions and body actions. The specialists could also talk through a speaker — with their voice automatically changed to sound more childlike — and monitor the participants via camera.

During the treatments involving Huggable for kids aged 3 to 10 years, a specialist would sing nursery rhymes to younger children through the robotic bear and move the arms during the song. Older kids would play the I Spy game, where they had to guess an object in the room described by the specialist through Huggable. Through self-reports and questionnaires, the researchers recorded how much the patients and families liked Huggable. A greater percentage of children and their parents reported that the children enjoyed playing with Huggable more than with the virtual figure or traditional teddy bear.

The study proved the possibility of including Huggable in the treatments for children. Results also showed that children playing with Huggable experienced more positive emotions overall. They also got out of bed and moved around more, and emotionally connected with the robot, asking it personal questions and inviting it to come back later to meet their families. “Such improved emotional and physical outcomes are all positive factors that could contribute to hospitalized children’ s better and faster recovery,” the researchers write in their study.

The study also provided a basis for developing a fully autonomous Huggable robot which is the researchers’ final goal. In the future, that automated robot could be used to improve children’ s further treatment and care, and monitor their well-being.

12. What can we learn about Huggable?

A. It was first designed for disabled kids.

B. It can make facial expressions.

C. It talks like a caring parent.

D. It works automatically.

13. How did the children find Huggable?

A. Favorable. B. Conventional.

C. Disappointing. D. Unhelpful.

14. How did Huggable help the hospitalized children with their treatment?

A. It improved their mental experience.

B. It protected them from possible virus.

C. It gave tips on taking good care of young patients.

D. It provided up-to-date information about their diseases.

15. What is the text mainly about?

A. The fast development of robots in medical area.

B. A new technology in medicine to treat children.

C. Robots’ advantages over other methods of treatment.

D. A robotic teddy bear used in caring for hospitalized children.

【答案】12. D    13. A    14. A    15. D

Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be crazy about. Newspapers, magazines and sports programs on TV frequently cover boxing matches. ____16____

It seems to me that some people, especially men find it attractive because it is an aggressive(攻击性的) sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. ____17____

However, there is a negative side to boxing. ____18____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur(业余的) boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with terrible results. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring(拳击台). ____19____ Sometimes even if a boxer has never been knocked out, he might have suffered severe brain damage without knowing it.

____20____ I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

A. It can be a very dangerous sport.

B. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.

C. In my personal opinion, boxing can be so thrilling that many people dare not have a try.

D. I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.

Housework in my life

However busy I am with my study. I will spare time to do my share of the housework.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Housework in my life

However busy my study feels, I will spare time to do my share of the housework. From an early life, I often assist my parents in cooking, preparing cooking materials, washing vegetables and cutting them up. As time goes by, in spite of plenty of funny incidents, I manage to cook some simple dishes on my own anyhow. During the holidays, I am more than willing to prepare breakfast for my family, which makes them happy and relieved.

In the course of cooking, due to my carelessness, laughter often fill in the kitchen, taking the stress of work away. In addition, I also have a better understanding of how enjoyable cooking is and how tired my parents must be cooking on a routine basis.Above all, cooking brings me a great sense of achievement and independence.So why don’t you have a try?
