22、“Sugar, alcohol and tobacco,” economist Adam Smith once wrote, “are commodities which are nowhere necessaries of life, which have become objects of almost universal consumption, and which are, therefore, extremely popular subjects of taxation.”
Two and a half centuries on, most countries impose (征税) sort of tax on alcohol and tobacco. With obesity levels putting increasing pressure on public health systems, governments around the world have begun to toy with the idea of taxing sugar as well.
Whether such taxes work is a matter of debate. A preliminary review of Mexico’s taxation found a fall in purchases of taxed drinks as well as a rise in sales of untaxed and healthier drinks. By contrast, a Danish tax on foods high in fats was abandoned a year after its introduction, during claims that consumers were avoiding it by crossing the border to Germany to satisfy their desire for cheaper, fatter foods.
The food industry has, in general, been firmly opposed to such direct government action. Nonetheless, the renewed focus on waistlines means that industry groups are under pressure to demonstrate their products are healthy as well as tasty.
Over the past three decades, the industry has made some efforts to improve the quality of its offerings. For example, some drink manufactures have cut the amount of sugar in their beverages (饮料).
Many of the reductions over the past 30 years have been achieved either by reducing the amount of sugar, salt or fat in a product, or by finding an alternative ingredient. More recently, however, some companies have been investing money in a more ambitious undertaking: learning how to adjust the fundamental make-up of the food they sell. For example, having salt on the outside, but none on the inside, reduces the salt content without changing the taste.
While reformulating(再制定) recipes is one way to improve public health, it should be part of a multisided (多边的) approach. The key is to remember that there is not just one solution. To deal with obesity, a mixture of approaches, which include reformulation, taxation and adjusting portion sizes, will be needed. There is no silver bullet.
【1】What do we learn about Danish taxation on fat-rich foods?
A. It met with firm opposition from the food industry.
B. It brought a lot of problems on the border.
C. It could not succeed without German cooperation.
D. It did not work out as well as was expected.
【2】What does the underlined part “silver bullet” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A long way.
B. A single easy quick way.
C. A effective and hopeful solution.
D. A successful but complex solution.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude to a multisided approach to the problem?
A. Indifferent. B. Disapproving.
C. Neutral. D. Positive.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A. Sugar companies should make efforts to make sugar healthy and tasty.
B. Governments should have approaches to adapting to consumers’ needs.
C. There are different ways to cope with health problems.
D. Governments should tax on sugar, alcohol and tobacco.
23、Whether you’ re a fearless adventurer seeking a scenic climb or a beginner outdoorsman eager to be close to nature, these four camping destinations will change your life.
Laugavegur, Iceland
Before snow falls upon the changeable rhyolite (流纹岩) mountains, book a cottage or a tent in the camp city as wild camping is not permitted here. Professionals advise hiking from north to south, which takes you across lava fields, wildflower-spotted grasslands, and to the twin glaciers (冰川) Eyjafjallaj kull and Mydralsj kull. Along the way, the mountains covered with various colors will appeal to you.
High Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Morocco’s most typical range is a bucket-list camping destination for daring travelers. Pass through remote Berber villages and walk a long way from hot desert to snow-capped peaks. You can follow ancient animal paths, though guides in this area are highly suggested. Many will employ the use of a camel to help with the load.
Tierra del Fuego, Chile
Tierra del Fuego is an explorer’s dream. Take a cross-border journey from Argentina to Chile through Radman and set up camp along one of the glacial lakes Blanco or Ofhidro. Animals like beavers are common in this area, and so are condors (秃鹰). Bed down in the grasslands beneath Jebel M’ goun, an extremely quiet peak.
Main Range, Kosciuszko National Park, Australia
Whether you fill your days with passing over the country’ s highest mountains, watching snowfalls or fishing in the glacial lakes, make sure to spend an evening appreciating the starry sky, which is certain to inspire awe (敬畏) in anyone witnessing this sight.

24、 One of our worst nightmares as a parent is finding out that our teenager has started smoking or taking drugs. Usually our first reaction is to be angry, but most of us can remember what it was like when we were at school and just how powerful peer(同龄人) pressure can be. Once we are faced with such a case, we ought to be understanding and supportive and should try to help our children through the problems.
Many teenagers are attracted to drugs at some stage in their life and research shows that as many as 15% of all teenagers have tried drug taking of some sort during their young lives. Besides the usual peer pressure and the constant need to be "cool" or to have "fun", many teenagers are simply curious about the excitement or "high" they can achieve from taking drugs. That excitement is doubled by the simple fact that they are doing something illegal that we as parents would consider dangerous.
On a more serious note, they might be getting into drugs as an escape. Perhaps they are unhappy at school or there have been recent changes at home that may have unsettled them. In this case, drug taking can be more worrying as they may start to rely on it as a form of escapism and start to take drugs more regularly.
If you think your child might be smoking or taking drugs, it's best to deal with it straight away. It's easy to turn a blind eye and sweep the issues under the carpet in the hope that they'll gradually stop, but without your intervention(干预), the problem may not disappear.
【1】When parents find their children are smoking or taking drugs, they should .
A.talk about it with their teacher
B.punish them severely
C.help them out of the addiction
D.let them stay at home and not go to school
【2】Which of the following is NOT a reason why teenagers try taking drugs?
A.They are under great peer pressure.
B.They want to stay slim(保持苗条)
C.They think it is cool to take drugs.
D.They are unhappy at school.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Children whose parents take drugs are more likely to take drugs.
B.Children are curious about things they should not do.
C.Most students are unhappy at school.
D.Children who take drugs will gradually stop themselves.
【4】What does the underlined phrase, "sweep the issues under the" in the last paragraph mean?
A.To put off dealing with the matter.
B.To take quick action.
C.To persuade somebody patiently.
D.To punish somebody severely.
