| 完形填空。 | I"ve often puzzled over something that happened to me one winter when I was eight. Over the years I

wanted to do was go skating. I had been waiting for weeks 5 the water was frozen solid. Mom had
one rule: "Never ice-skate alone." But I couldn"t 6 any longer that afternoon. So I 7 my skates
under my coat and ran to the pond. Several people were skating near the shore, and some kids were
playing hockey. I was not really 8 .
The hockey game had attracted 9 audience, so I skated in the other direction until their cheering
10 . But another noise came soon. The ice was cracking beneath me. Freezing water 11 my body,
and I sank like a rock. My feet 12 the bottom. Just when I thought I wouldn"t last another 13 , I felt a
tap on my shoulder. "Don"t worry," someone said. I swung my 14 around. I couldn"t see anybody. But
I heard the voice again,"Push your feet into the bottom and you"ll shoot straight up to the surface." I did
as I was told and 15 . I crawled to the shore and lay down, 16 .The next thing I knew was people
were 17 around me, covering me with coats.
When I awoke, I was home in my own bed. Mom sat next to me, 18 my hand. "I saw nobody
there. It must be an angel that came to my 19 ." I said. Mom smiled, "I just thank God you"re safe."

"Two full inches in the first three days!"
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper, radio and television ads, promising
new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say
they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or
desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they
produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food and Drug
Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective
before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require
premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health,
FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal
action, including seizure (查封) of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had
been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through
contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds
that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法
律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety
or effectiveness of such items. | | 1. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are . | A. objective
B. costly
C. unreliable
D. illegal | | 2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? | A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits. | | 3. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product | A. if it is a drug
B. if it is a device
C. if its consumers make complaints
D. if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority | | 4. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as . | A. a product which was designed to produce electricity
B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D. an example of a quality beauty product | | 5. The author intends to . | A. make consumers aware of the promoters" false promises
B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful

A nickname is a shortened form of a person"s name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for
a person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help establish an identity,
spread pride among citizens and build unity. Nicknames can also be funny.
Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles
has several nicknames. One is simply the city"s initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because
Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.
Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine.
New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the
fruit that grows in that city"s warm climate.
The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising
that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles
called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is complete without seeing
the word "Hollywood" spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes
from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This
means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller cities in the county.
Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New
Year"s Day. So are the coastal cities of Santa Monica and Malibu, where people like to ride surfboards
on the Pacific Ocean waves.
