The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary to replace the expression with the term “couch slouch”, with protests being outside Parliament in London and the offices of Oxford University Press.
Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represents some 4,000 planters and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response.
“We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad for you,” she said on Monday.
“The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionary’s fault but we want to use another term instead of “couch potato” because potatoes are naturally healthy.”
The OED says that “couch potato” began as American slang, meaning “a person who spends his or her leisure time sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.”
The Potato Council says its campaign is backed by dieticians (饮食学家) who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C.
Supporting the campaign, famous cook Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britain’s favorite foods.
“Not only are they healthy, they are also convenient and yummy (美味). Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.
John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses.”
Simpson said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000 words in 20 volumes.
But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones.
“If society stops using words then they get taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added.
The first known recorded use of the expression “couch potato” was in an article in Los Angeles Times, in 1979, Simpson said.
Nigel Evans, a member of Parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.
小题1:British potato farmers wanted to _________.
| A．advertise their produces |
| B．call for a higher price for their potatoes |
| C．remove the expression “couch potato” from the dictionary |
| D．let people know how important the potato is in people’s lives |
| A．potatoes have had a bad image |
| B．Potatoes are good for people by nature |
| C．potatoes sometimes do harm to people |
| D．it’s the dictionary’s fault to use the expression “couch potato” |
| A．the expression can be taken out of every kind of dictionary |
| B．dictionaries do not necessarily reflect the words the society uses |
| C．little-used words can remain in the smaller dictionaries |
| D．it is impossible for them to take the expression out of the dictionary |
| A．It is connected with unfavorable meaning. |
| B．Potato should be used in the expression. |

| D．It refers to a kind of person. |
But the commission’s report says there does not seem to be an impact on poorer communities. The commission found there was no significant change in the application rate to the key universities, such as Oxford or Cambridge. The decline（下降） in England has not been mirrored（再现） in other parts of the UK where fees have not been raised, and the drop can only partly be explained by falling numbers of young people in the population. Students from Scotland attending Scottish universities do not pay fees, while the Welsh Assembly says it will pay fees above ￡3,465 for Welsh students attending UK institutions.
The average tuition fee at English universities this year is ￡ 8,385, rising to ￡ 8,507 next year. UK and EU students have access to government-backed loans to pay the fees. And the survey of 1,000 pupils aged 15-18, carried out this April, found that the majority expected to go on to higher education as people continue to understand that university remains a good long term investment（投资） in their future.
A spokeswoman at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills which is responsible for universities, said: “Students shouldn’t be forced to put off going to university for financial reasons. Most students will not have to pay in advance, and no one will have to start paying back their student loan until they start to earn at least ￡ 2l,000 per year.”
小题1:From the first paragraph, we know that .
| A．the rising tuition fees have a great effect on English students |
| B．many English students are missing the final examinations |
| C．the lost English students will find their way back |
| D．it’s a trend that English students are dropping out of school |
| A．Because the students live in poor communities. |
| B．Because education is free for Scottish students. |
| C．Because there are less young students in the area. |
| D．Because Welsh students will pay fees above￡3,465. |
| A．They will stop applying for university places this autumn. |
| B．They feel universities takes up too much time. |
| C．They are anxious to go to a key university. |
| D．Most of them are willing to go to university. |
| A．put off going to university |
| B．pay for the fees in advance |
| C．reduce the anxiety about the rising fees |
| D．pay back their loan soon aller graduation |
Some people welcome the law. They say animals should not be forced to work and that circus creatures are caged in tight spaces when they travel. However, other people say that many of the four legged performers are cared for by animal experts. Plus, they point out, circus animals entertain millions of fans.
Should animals perform in circuses? Student reporters Michael and Emily have done some work on the issue.
Yes, I think animals should be allowed in circus acts. Most circus trainers love and respect the animals they work with and treat them well. Certain rules and regulations also help to ensure that the animals are treated humanely, or with kindness. Millions of people love circus animals. They look forward to seeing elephants and tigers perform. Many of the animals are exotic (奇特的), so people might not get the chance to see them anywhere else. “Circus animals shouldn’t be banned,” says Parker, a sixth grader from Oregon City, “One of the main reasons people go to the circus is to see animals they don’t see every day and to see them do cool tricks.”
Animals should not perform in circuses. When animals are in circuses, they are forced to learn new behaviors in order to entertain humans. Those behaviors may go against their natural instincts (本性). For example, bears hibernate in the winter, but bears in a circus have to perform and can’t hibernate as their bodies tell them to. Also, circus animals have to travel all the time in cages. All that traveling may cause them to become confused or upset because their environment keeps changing. “When animals are removed from their habitat and held in cages ... it changes their behaviors,” points out Anne Northam, a teacher from Friendswood, Texas. “They are no longer selfsufficient (自给自足的).”
小题1:Which of the following can be a reason why people support the law?
| A．Animals in circuses are given more respect and care. |
| B．Animals in circuses bring a lot of fun for people. |
| C．Animals in circuses can’t live their life naturally. |
| D．Animals in circuses are protected by many regulations. |
| A．She welcomes it. |
| B．She is against it. |
| C．She thinks it acceptable. |
| D．She thinks it useless. |
| A．Enjoy more fun in circuses |
| B．More respect and kindness to animals |
| C．Circuses in Bolivia Open or Closed |
| D．Animals belong in circuses Yes or No |
| A．sleep | B．look for food | C．move from one place to another | D．perform |
"If in fact you do make contact with Martians, please let me know right away," Obama said during the call, "I"ve got a lot of things on my plate, but I expect that that will go to the top of the list. Even if they"re just microbes(微生物), it will be pretty exciting."
Obama also said he was impressed by the attention that"s been paid to flight director Bobak Ferdowsi, the "Mohawk Guy" whose star-spangled haircut and warmhearted behavior during Curiosity"s Aug. 5 landing won him Internet fame.
"I, in the past, thought about getting a Mohawk myself," Obama joked. "But my team keeps on discouraging me. And now that he"s received marriage proposals and thousands of new Twitter followers, I think I"m going to go back to my team and see if it makes sense."
The congratulatory phone call is a tradition for the White House. But it was clear that Obama particularly enjoyed congratulating the scientists and engineers behind the amazingly successful landing of NASA"s newest Mars exploration.
He also said the achievement reflected the American spirit, and he gave his personal promise to protect these critical investments in science and technology.
"This is the kind of thing that inspires kids across the country," he said. "They’re telling their moms and dads they want to be part of a Mars mission, maybe even the first person to walk on Mars. And that kind of inspiration is the byproduct of work of the sort that you guys have done."
The Curiosity rover"s $2.5 billion mission focuses on studying billions of years" worth of geology on Mars and determining whether the planet was ever potentially suitable for people to live in. The mission is not specifically designed to explore life, even on the range of microbes, but it could point the way for future life-exploration experiments.
小题1:Obama phoned the team behind NASA"s Mars Curiosity rover in order to _______.
| A．congratulate them on finding Martians |

| A．Obama is very busy now. |
| B．Obama longs for the finding of life on Mars. |
| C．Obama is interested in biology. |
| D．Obama wants to contact Martians. |
| A．It costs billions of dollars. |
| B．It mainly aims to find life on Mars. |
| C．It carries the first person to Mars. |
| D．It proves Mars fit to live on. |
| A．Bobak Ferdowsi got a Mohawk haircut to win great Internet fame. |
| B．Obama called on the government and companies to invest in science. |
| C．America’s president seldom congratulates on scientific achievements. |
| D．Children showed special interest in the landing of Curiosity. |
