15、glanced through the headlines of the newspaper and read the sports section. .Reading Comprehension. (2分×10)Passage OneHeavy Body, Not Heavy HeartIn pictures from college I was thin. I worked full time, went to school full time, smoked, and lived off fast food and soft drinks. Friends say that I

16、 dont look like myself in those pictures. I looked ill, sad, and unhealthy. Now, at a weight considered to be dangerously high by medical charts, I live better than ever. I have given up smoking, and I eat a lot of vegetables; I enjoy walking, swimming and dancing classes. I exercise and eat well be

17、cause I love living, not because I want to lose weight. My doctor tells me I am healthy, and this is much more important than being thin. Studies show that overweight people who exercise have a lower death rate than “normal” weight people who do not.Negative attitudes toward fat people begin in chil

18、dhood. One study showed that, as early as nursery school, children liked pictures of disabled children of similar ages better than those of fat children. Similarly, a study of college students said they would rather marry a drug user, a thief, or a blind person than someone who was fat. These attitu

19、des create discrimination that affects fat people in every aspect of their lives, including money matters. In fact, overweight, white women usually earn less than thin, white women24 percent less, according to one study.People often justify their judgments about fat people by saying that people choo

20、se to be fat. Choose? Who would choose life as a fat person in this weight-obsessed culture? There are many false ideas about fat people in society: that all fat people have eating disorders or emotional or mental issues; that if they really wanted to lose weight they could.In reality, however, some

21、 people are naturally fat. How a person is born is simply science, not a comment on someones character. The Center for Disease Control reports that 78 percent of American women are trying hard to lose weight, and at an amazing failure rate95 percent get back what theyve lost within two to five years

22、.The often-heard comment of “you have such a pretty face” does not please me because of all thats not said: “If youd just lose the weight youd be beautiful.” Beauty is a taught concept and the cultural standards for beauty change constantly.Later in life, I was happy to learn that some cultures have

23、 very different standards of beauty. While I was visiting the British Virgin Islands, a local man invited me to be in a picture with him on the beach. I asked, “Why me? There are women who look like models here.” “Bones are for dogs,” he said with a smile. “Meat is for men.”1.From Paragraph 1 we kno

28、th men from different culturesPassage twoDisney Mirrors American CultureLast fall, the Walt Disney Company did something rare: it admitted defeat in its fight to build a history theme park in Virginia. The park was going to be called “Disneys America”. Some people might be wondering, however, if Dis

29、ney lost the battle but won the war, as it seems everyone is living in Disneys America these days.With its purchase of Capital Cities/ABC Inc. last month, the company founded by Walter Elias Disney in 1923 deepened its claim on American culture. In fact, it would be hard to find another company so w

30、idely respectedeven lovedby Americans. Americans rush out to see Disney films, and then replay themon videotapes; they read Disney books to their children; they watch Disney shows on Disney TV; they make trips to Disneyland and Disney World, where they stay in Disney hotels and eat Disney food; Amer

31、icans buy Disney products at Disney stores, and listen to Disney records of Disney songs. The world of Disney is becoming anything but small. All this makes some people more than a little upset. Harold Bloom, a professor at Yale University, provides an examination of the cultural history of Western

32、society. “At the end of this road lies cultural uniformity of the worst kind. Its just terrible.” This is becoming a popular opinion in universities around the world. “Disney products,” said Paul Fussell, a professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, “have always seemed to me seriously s

33、ub-adult.” Those who oppose Disney (and there are many) see its films and by-products as sexist, racist and as simpler, cheered-up accounts of American history and folklore. “Theres a kind of protection at work here,” said Henry Giroux, a professor at Penn State University. Like all those opposed to

34、 Disney, he can list, in detail, Disneys many crimes against culture: he is very angry, for example, about the treatment of American Indians in Pocahontas. “I mean, the entire history of what happened to the Indians, which some people would call the murder of their people, is sort of played out as a

35、 love story,” he said angrily. Giroux said he believes that Disney has become a basic educator of Americas children, most of whom will be able to perform every word of The Lion King long before they even learn US President Abraham Lincolns historic Gettysburg Address. However, even the most strongly

36、 opposed are quick to note that Disney has many positive valuescheerfulness, good-hearted fun, and a tradition of artistic qualitythat help explain its success. Critical or not, most of those who oppose the company are Disney customers themselves.6.What rare thing did the Walt Disney Company do last
