International Day for Protecting Consumers’ Rights

Began:1983

Date: March 15 each year

The International Day for Protecting Consumers’ Rights aims to pay special attention to the consumers and remind consumers of their rights（權(quán)利）.

The consumers’ rights are legal(合法的） and protected by laws. A consumer shall have the right to get information relating to consumption(消費(fèi)) and the protection of the rights and interests of consumers. And the whole society shall bear responsibility for the protection of consumers’ legal rights and interests.

There is no doubt that fake(假冒的) and unqualified(不合格的）products are extremely harmful. They endanger people’s health and even threaten people’s lives. So as consumers, we need to protect our rights. When we find the products are fake, we have the right to ask for compensation(賠償).

Protection for Consumers:

*Every year, the “3.15 ” evening party hosted by CCTV unveils(揭幕) some illegal companies and fake products, in order to raise the consumers’ awareness to protect their own rights.

*If consumers find the shops are cheating, they can call 12315 to protect their rights.

Several strong measures should be adopted to fight against fake and unqualified products. On the one hand ,those who make bad products must be seriously punished by the laws. On the other hand, consumers should learn to know differences between true and false.

The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍對(duì)象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.

When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解決) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.

In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (連續(xù)) of 12 images (圖像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.

Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (電影攝影機(jī)) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

1.The underlined word “still” most probably means “________” in Chinese.

A.安逸的 B.平衡的 C.直立的 D.靜止的

2.Leland Stanford thought that ________.

A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while running

B.a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point while running

C.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

D.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

3.Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________.

A.1839 B.1872 C.1878 D.1887

4.Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ who won the bet.

A.Stanford B.Stanford’s friends. C.Muybridge D.Muybridge’s friends

5.The passage mainly tells us ________.

A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-camera

B.that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictures

C.how photography helped people know more about animals

D.how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of movement successfully
