A
Michelle Obama has started her campaign against childhood obesity in the US, saying that it is a problem that concerns her both as First Lady and as a mother．She said that the campaign was designed to encourage people to live healthier lives, but admitted that she herself was not immune to the temptations of junk food．
"I love burgers and fries．And I love ice cream and cake．And so do most kids, " she said．But she added, "We' re not talking about a lifestyle that excludes （排斥） all that．The question is how we help people balance that out so that they' re not facing life-threatening, preventable illnesses, but they' re enjoying their food, they' re eating their vegetables, they' re doing their running and walking and playing and still have time to get a good, fun meal in every once in a while．"
One in three American children is overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk of developing diabetes （糖尿病）, high blood pressure, high cholesterol （胆固醇） and other illnesses．Billions of dollars are spent every year treating obesity-related conditions．"None of us wants this future for our kids, " Mrs．Obama said at the White House．"We have to act, so let' s move．"
Her campaign has four parts: helping parents make better food choices, serving healthier food in school vending machines and lunch lines, making healthy food more available and affordable, and encouraging children to exercise more．
The ambitious campaign, which Mrs．Obama hopes will be seen as her legacy （遗产）, is aimed at solving the childhood obesity problem in a generation, so that children born today can reach adulthood at a healthy weight．"This isn't like a disease where we' re still waiting for the cure to be discovered．We know the cure for this, "she said．
President Barack Obama praised his wife for dealing with what he called one of "the most urgent health issues facing the country．" "This has enormous promise in improving the health of our children, and in giving support to parents to make the kinds of healthy choices that are often very difficult, " he said．

Women nowadays do not just want to work to help meet the rising costs of living and education for their children．They also want a career that will enable them to bring out their skills and use their potentials so that they can experience a sense of fulfillment and pride that come from achievements and success．Some careers that have been traditionally dominated （支配） by the male species have been made open and filled up by women as well．It is no longer a surprising occurrence today to see many women working as pilots, astronauts, engineers, in construction sites, and in the printing business that operates high-tech machines．
Many women are also taking their chances on managerial and executive positions that mostly men are the ones sitting on．Many of them also do well in the line of education as teachers, deans and even presidents of universities．You can also see many women as lecturers and reviewers of different businesses．One example is that of the online printing company reviews where women usually have a say on what is the best choice for online printers for any marketing needs．
From the income that women are getting from their work, they are able to maintain a family and able to provide a better education for their children and able to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle．
However, there are still pronounced biases （偏见） against women in high leadership positions．There still exists the so-called gender-role stereotyping．Women need help to cope with and manage the typical stereotyping of women workers and managers．Those who look for jobs advertised in the classified sections of the newspaper often discover that many corporate positions are closed to women．And most often than not, many give preference to men by indicating in their ads phrases such as "male preferred" or "male applicants only．" Even in some family run or owned corporations, seldom can you see women managers and presidents．
Surveys show that although a man and a woman have the same level or handle the same position in an organization, the man would get a higher or bigger compensation package （薪酬） compared to women．Because of this, many women are just contented to be in subordinate positions in finance, human
resources, sales, manufacturing and other supportive roles．
There are still other barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potentials in the world of employment．Our culture does not encourage women to excel in government and in business-related jobs．Women who are able to make it on top and handle leadership roles are sometimes regarded merely as tokens．The abilities and skills of women are normally questioned by their own peers, and sadly even by other women．
If you are a woman who have the interest, ability and drive to pursue management careers, career counseling is of great help to help you find direction and increase motivation to pursue your career goals．It will help you have the self-confidence to get you in the same career opportunities open to men in this society that still prefers men for top level positions．
50．From the first paragraph we know that women____．
A．work mainly to help meet the rising costs of living
B．want to provide their children with better education
C．also want to take some more challenging jobs
D．have take up some work that men cannot do well
51．It can be inferred that in the past it was surprising to see women .
A．taking jobs outside home B．working as pilots or astronauts
C．educating their children at home D．operating machines at home
52．What' s the author' s attitude towards women' s taking managerial positions?
A．Supportive B．Dissatisfied C．Unconcerned D．Doubtful
53．Why do many companies give preference to men in some positions?
A．Women can' t be equal to those positions．
B．Men are more capable than women．
C．They have biases against women．
D．They need men only．
54．The underlined word "subordinate" in the 5th paragraph has a similar meani
