A Pacifists Guide to the War on CancerBIn 1992, when Xi Jinping worked in Fuzhou, he came across a newspaper report about “My Guling,” written by a Chinese student

17、studying in the United States.The report described an American couple who tried in vain to revisit a southern Chinese town called Guling, where the husband, Milton Gardner, had spent 10 years of his childhood before moving back to the United States in 1911.Gardner, who later became a professor of ph

18、ysics at the University of California, had been longing to revisit Guling since 1979 when the diplomatic ties between China and the US were set up. But he had never made the trip due to his failing health.According to the newspaper, Gardner kept uttering (叨念) “Kuling, Kuling” in the final hours of h

19、is life.After he passed away, his wife Elizabeth Gardner decided to carry out the dying wish of her husband and since then made several trips to China in an attempt to find the small town that her husband had so much affection about. Her efforts ended in vain as she had few clues (线索) about the exac

20、t spot of the town. But a Chinese student lodging (寄宿) at the Gardners recognized the small town as Guling near Fuzhou City from postmarks on some old mails of late Mr. Gardner. The student wrote an article about Gardners story and sent it to the Peoples Daily, one of the major newspapers in China.“

21、After I read the story, I immediately contacted Mrs. Gardner through the departments concerned and invited her to visit Guling,” Xi told the media. Thanks to Xis arrangement, Mrs. Gardner finally arrived at Guling in August 1992. She met there with nine childhood friends of her husband, all of whom

22、were over 90 years old at that time.It was a happy occasion for Mrs. Gardner, who was later awarded the honorary citizenship of Fuzhou City, Xi recalled.“She said that she would value this bond (纽带) of friendship between her husband and the people of China, because after seeing for herself the beaut

23、iful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people, she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China.”“I believe there are many such touching stories between our two peoples,” said Xi.4.

27、sent by GardnerD. the American couple revisited China trying to find Guling but in vainCThe federal school lunch program for 30 million low-income children was created more than half a century ago to combat malnutrition(营养不良). A breakfast program was added during the 1960s, and both attempted to imp

28、rove the nutritional value of food served at school. More must be done to fight the childhood obesity epidemic(流行的), which has caused a frightening peak in weight-related disorders like diabetes, high-blood pressure and heart disease among young people. The place to start is schools, where junk food

29、 sold outside the federal meals programthrough snack bars and vending machineshas pretty much canceled out the benefits of all those efforts.Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years. Until new regulations are writt

30、en, children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium(钠) snacks elsewhere in school.Many states school districts have taken positive steps, but others are likely to resist, especially districts that sell junk food to finance athletic prog

31、ram extracurricular activities, and even copier expenses.Those districts should take note of a study released in 2009 in West Virginia showing that the budgetary costs of switching from sodas to healthy drinks such as fruit juice, milk, and water were very little. Even if the switch costs money, so

32、be it. The school should not be trading their students health to buy office supplies.Over the last 50 years, the obesity rates for adolescents have tripled. Unless there is decisive action, weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace s

33、moking as the leading cause of premature death.8.

34、raise for their school lunch program.B. New regulations are badly in need of updating.C. Children should be forbidden to buy snacks in school.D.

35、hool lunch programC. obesity at schoolD. the nutritional value of food served at schoo11. The tone of the passage is _.A. negativeB. indifferentC. ironicD. positiveDZero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to bathroom. Zero gravity makes

36、 this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again. The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped

37、 the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!)When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag， removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant(消毒剂)pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special

38、container. Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer natures call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes - with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it h

39、as thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat. The astronaut (male or female)defecates(排便)in a bag and urinates (排尿)in a hose(软管). Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85 of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration(过滤), used for drinking and

40、other purposes.（Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early

46、roach (着手处理) money lessons with openness and honesty . _18_ If you must say no to a childs request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”_19_Begin at the grocery s
