22、 If you feel like you can’t even consider consuming a candy bar without being shown its caloric content, you’re right. The same thing goes for just about every piece of packaged food, plus every bottled or canned beverage: A Nutrition Facts label shows detailed information on the amounts of fat, sugar, sodium and more found inside.
But while your favorite breakfast cereals, sodas and sandwich fixings are subject to this type of in-your-face requirement, you may have noticed that booze(酒)is typically off the hook, so what gives?
The answer lies in the powers that be. While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the safety of food, including non-alcoholic beverages, it doesn’t govern the alcohol industry. That honor belongs to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), an agency that doesn’t require labeling.
While beer, wine and spirits companies aren’t legally required to print the nutritional information on their products, consumer advocates have been calling for the TTB to change that. And it has, sort of. In 2013, the agency made nutrition labels optional for alcohol. But some health experts don’t feel the move was bold enough.
As John Hopkins, a public health researcher said her work revealed that the average American regularly consumes 400 calories a day from alcohol alone and they should know that.
The reasons behind the differences in label requirements between the FDA and TTB go back to Prohibition. When the ban on the production and distribution of alcohol came to an end, Congress passed the Alcohol Administration Act of 1935, which eventually led to the establishment of the TTB. Its rules around labeling have historically been a bit messy. Substances that people might be sensitive to have to be labeled, but other ingredients do not.
Change is brewing though, at least in the beer industry: Industry leaders, which produce more than 81 percent of the volume of beer sold in the U.S., have agreed to voluntarily display nutrition facts by 2020.
【1】What is the function of the example given in the beginning?
A.To stress the importance of the topic.
B.To improve readers’ awareness.
C.To criticize the wrongdoings of some people.
D.To lead to the topic to be discussed.
【2】What does the underlined word “hook” refer to?
A.Disobeying the related requirements.
B.Choosing one’s favorite ones.
C.Listing the nutrition labels.
D.Changing their routines.
【3】What is the reason for some alcohol drinks not listing nutrition labels?
A.The companies don’t necessarily do so by rules.
B.The companies didn’t know how to do.
C.The companies chose to break the rules.
D.The management of the companies is too messy.
【4】What can we expect in the year of 2020 in the U.S.?
A.All the alcohol drinks will add nutritional labels.
B.The majority of beer producers will use nutritional labels.
C.The beer industry leaders will remove nutritional labels.
D.The messy situation about the regulations will be completely solved.
23、A new survey finds that more than eighty percent of Internet users in the United States search for health information online．The survey found that searching online is one of the leading ways that people look for a second opinion though doctors are still the main source of health information．
Forty-four percent of people are actually looking for doctors or other providers when they search for health information online．Another finding of the survey: Two-thirds of Internet users look online for information about a specific disease or medical condition．
The Internet has also become an important source of emotional support for people with health problems．Susannah Fox says one in five Internet users has gone online to find other people who have the same condition．It was more popular among people with more serious health issues—one in four people living with chronic diseases （慢性病）．And it was basically off the charts with people living with rare disease．They are so eager to find other people online who share their health concerns．
A disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than two hundred thousand people worldwide．The rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alone．Social networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each other．Dr．Jeff Livingston operates a medical center for women in Irving, Texas．His office uses password-protected software to share information with patients．
“We provide the patient full access to their medical care．Anything I can see, the patient can see．All of their notes, all of their doctor visits are right there．All of their lab work is right there．” Dr．Livingston says the software has increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved relations with patients．

24、 Hardware in general, and smartphones in particular, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South' s landfill sites(垃圾填埋场).
Electronic waste(e-waste) currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghana's capital, Accra.It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process.They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones.
But Agbogbloshie should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The E-waste industry, however, circumvents the regulations by exporting e-waste labelled as “secondhand goods” to poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site.
A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals.This is not surprising: smartphones contain chemicals like mercury(水银), lead and even arsenic (砷 ) Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level that's about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA), Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system. This should concern us all, since some of Ghana's top exports are cocoa and nuts.
Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers' waste.For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers.However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is am almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments’ green policies are focused on issues like climate change.
Only the manufacturers can fix this.A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.
【1】What can we infer from paragraph2?
A.Electronic products need improving urgently.
B.Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.
C.Electronic waste requires more landfill sites across Ghana.
D.Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie.
【2】What does the underlined word"circumvents" in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Tightens
B.Abolishes
C.Avoids
D.Follows
【3】What should be the biggest concern according to the text?
A.The violation of EFSA’s standard
B.The lack of diversity in Ghana s exports.
C.The damage to chickens immune system
D.The threat of polluted food around the world
【4】What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem?
A.Manufacturers' developing a sustainable hardware economy.
B.Governments' adjusting their green policies about e-waste.
C.Reducing customers' demands for electronic products.
D.Letting governments take on the main responsibility.
