"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 beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. Where 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 Drug Administration)
can require proof (证明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that safe and effective before it is put on
the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no author to require premarketing proof of safety or
effectiveness. If a product already on the marker 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, had been sold for
reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the customers through contact pads.
FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the products to the grounds that it was
dangerous to health and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the maker 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 the safety or effectiveness of
such items.
B. costly
C. unreliable
D. illegal
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.
B. if it is a device
C. if its consumers make complaints
D. if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority
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
B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D. introduce the organization of FDA

seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it
impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or
playing computer games.
[2] Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to malls or
stores more and more every day, but it"s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned
into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without
being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don"t need. Even
though they don"t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
[3] The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isn"t a specific answer. Some people go

work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don"t seem to mind Allen," says Brigitte, who thinks he is
wonderful. "He is my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food,
paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allen is a dog.
Brigitle and Allen live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according
to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of
care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so they aren"t surprised to find that owning a dog means more
taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Sweden kronor (克朗) in taxes a year for the right to keep
their dogs, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a
dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even
life insurance (保险) for their dogs.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dogs do. A Swedish kennel (宠物园) club official
explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner,
have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
B. he is her child
C. he follows her everywhere
D. he often falls ill
B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs
D. buy insurance for dog owners
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people should pay a lot for their dogs
B. The owner of the dog.
C. The insurance company.
D. The government.
B. Allen.
C. Anderson.

Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to
accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time,and decide the most important ones. Include things you want
to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.
2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you.try to keep cool. Stressing out
can lead to an early break-down,which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do.
It"s easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than to work all week with stress.
3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut
to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done done.
4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will take
you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
5. Just say "no". If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don"t have the time to help out, just say
"no". You"re only one person, and you can"t save the world by yourself!
6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the
point and you"ll waste much less time.
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don"t set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your
best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself.
8. Relax. The most important thing is to remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break
every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it"s a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and
get refreshed.
As families today get busier and busier, it"s important to your own mental health to keep things on track.
Don"t delay; get your life in order now.
never having seen any record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as
horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus
ignorant (不知情的). I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom
come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or autumntime. A lack of information concerning
my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages,
but I could not tell. Why the same right ought to be taken away from me! I was not allowed to ask my master
about it. He considered all such questions on the part of a slave improper and impolite. The nearest estimate
(估计) I can live makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from
hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named
Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark.
My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the
correctness of this opinion, I know nothing and I have no means to know. My mother and I were separated
when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland
from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child
has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it,and hired out on some farm a considerable distance
off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor.
B. the writer didn"t know whether his master was his father
C. the writer was about twenty-seven years old in 1835
D. the writer"s mother left him as soon as he was born
B. my age
C. a record
D. Maryland
B. was light-skinned
C. had several children
D. was sent to work elsewhere
B. by an old woman slave
C. with his master"s support
D. together with other children
B. Unhappy.
C. Astonished.
D. Ashamed.
