A
There is no other five-year –old like him. He has a potato-shaped head , thick eyebrows and a voice that is not easily forgotten. He is not evil, but trouble follows him wherever he goes.
Crayon Shinchan enjoys great popularity in China He has many fans in Hong Kong , Taiwan and on the mainland. And he is one of the hottest cartoon characters in his home country, Japan.
But, the trouble-maker’s show was ranked the No. 1 most unwanted cartoon program by Japan’s Parents’ Association on April 18.
More than half the parents who took part in the study thought Shinchan was a negative role model for children. They believed his actions and speech were adult in nature and not suitable for kids.
Many parents and education experts in China agree with them. Shinchan, they say, is really offensive. He looks out for pretty ladies on the street; at the bookstore he reads magazines full of sexy women; he pretends to be kidnapped by his teacher when he sees a police car; and he raises his mum’s skirt and shouts out the color of her underpants if she doesn’t buy him what he wants.
“Crayon Shimchan is full of dirty humor. The boy shows some terrible adult mentality(心态),which doesn’t match his age,” said Pang Lijuan, professor of the Education Department at Beijing Normal University. Pang further pointed out that Shinchan destroys the traditional image of a polite, hard-working boy. She fears that some teens may copy his behavior and harm their psychological development. Pang and many others in China think that Shinchan is a cartoon for adults-----not for children.
But some kids disagree. Jiangxin, a senior 2 student in Luhe Middle School in Beijing, became a fan of Shinchan after he first saw the cartoon two years ago. He said it is Shinchan’s humor , courage, and cleverness that makes him and his friends love and the little cartoon character . “Shinchan looks at the adults’ world with kid’s eyes. He uncovers the hypocrisy(虚伪) and selfishness in a childish way,” explained Jiang. “We watch it just for fun.” But Jiang also admitted that Shinchan is not good for all ages. “It may not be suitable for primary school kids. They may try to blindly copy him.”
Shinchan’s “father ”, Japan’s popular cartoonist, Yoshito Ushi, never thought Shinchan would cause such a heated discussion. He argued that Shinchan is a childish copy of Japan’s middle-aged men. The boy does everything adults would like, but don’t dare to do. “People can easily forgive him because he’s only five years old,” said Yoshito.

Los Angeles-------- Say it’s Mickey Mouse , say it’s Goofy, but 35 years after Walt Disney’s death, he is having a successful career as an adviser.
Disney’s quotes are not as widely known as those of Benjamin Franklin or Winston Churchill , but Walt is increasingly mentioned, especially in business books , where such Disney sayings as “If you can dream it , you can do it” are fast becoming favorites.
Never regarded in life as particularly clever, Walt isn’t known to have said anything that sings like Churchill’s “riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma(谜).” But however common the phrasing, Walt’s humor and wisdom are often quoted by today’s business writers.
Now, more than 200 of Walt’s best sayings have been collected in the book “The Quotable Walt Disney.” The little square book is filled with common sense sayings. Animation , the theme parks and making your dreams come true are favorite subjects.
And because Disney was frequently asked the secret of his success , it is no surprise to read , among Walt’s explanations: “I suppose my formula (准则，公式) might be: dream, diversify---- and never miss an angle.”
Business consultant Bill Capodagli of Indianapolis, Indiana, is one of several authors who advice their readers to use Disney’s principles as a model for how to run a business. Capodagli is the co-author of “The Disney Way: Harnessing the Management Secrets of Disney in Your Company” and “The Disney Way Field book: How to implement Walt Disney’s Vision of Dream, Believe, Dare and Do in your Own Company ” from McGraw-Hill.
One critic described the book as “so useful you may whistle while you work”. Those who actually knew Walt don’t remember him as being particularly talkative or flattering , especially employees who felt his anger. And while he loved to have clever people working for him, he had little tolerance(宽容) for the self-important. As he said: “Whenever I don’t have the answer to something, I find someone who does.”
Many businessmen found their favorite quote as “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing -----that it was all started by a mouse.”

The conventional(依照传统的) wisdom about what’s good for you and what’s bad changed over the years. Here’s what experts now say:
Off the Forbidden List
What We Used to Think
Eggs are so full of cholesterol(胆固醇) they might as well be poison. Stay away.
What Doctors Say Now
Cholesterol in food doesn’t necessarily raise blood-cholesterol levels.
What to Do
If you’ve got cholesterol problems avoid eggs. If not, they are fine in moderation.
Pass the Salt
What We Used to Think

What Doctors Say Now
It isn’t necessarily so, unless you’ve already suffered from high blood pressure.
What to Do
A low-sodium diet won’t hurt and may help. But don’t eat your fill.
Cereals and Grains
What We Used to Think
Filling, but they don’t help the heart.
What Doctors Say Now
They replace higher-fat foods, and when fortified by vitamins B, they help scour(消除) potentially harmful homocysteine from the blood
What to Do
Eat plenty , especially the whole-grain kind ; the extra fiber could help reduce colon cancer(结肠癌)
Red Wine
What We Used to Think
Alcohol(酒精) is bad for you, no exceptions
What Doctors Say Now
A substance called resveratrol, found in grape skins, may reduce levels of bad cholesterol.
What to Do

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.
Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily difficulties. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移...注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support, a financial aid, material resources, and needed services -- that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
12Research shows that people's physical and mental health _______.
A. relies on the social welfare systems which support them
B. has much to do with the amount of support they get from others
C. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troubles
D. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives

C. Lessens the effect of. D. Lays the foundation for.
14Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of _______.

C. social companionship D. the strengthening of self-respect

A. it helps strengthen our ties with relatives B. it enables us to get rid of our faults and mistakes
C. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyable
D. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles

Believe it or not，optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes，called chevrons (人字形)painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation .To help reduce those accidents，the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed - related hazards are the greatest -curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar. Chevrons，scientists say，not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
16The passage mainly discusses _______.
A. a new way of highway speed control B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new approach to training drivers D. a new type of optical illusion
17On roads painted with chevrons drivers tend to feel that_______.

A. can keep drivers awake B. can cut road accidents in half
C. will have a longer effect on drivers D. will look more attractive
19The American Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to_________ .
A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas B. change the road signs across the country
C. replace straight，horizontal bars with chevrons
D. repeat the Japanese road patterns
