Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated ( 捐贈) billboards (廣告牌) across the country.

    The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F. A. C. E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids F.A.C.E. worldwide and it is the world’s largest youth environmental organization.

Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kids’ Yards — the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (棲息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping.

An increase in students applying to study economics (經(jīng)濟學) at university is being attributed to （歸因于）the global economic crisis (危機) awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works. 

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up. 

Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250. 

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. ” He added.  

University applications rose 70% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the pubic sector（部門）, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis. 

A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain. 

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped (使…有能力) to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”

61. Professor John Beath’s lectures are             .

D. warmly received by economics

C. fewer applications            D. better reputation 

63. In the opinion of most parents ,           . 

A. economics should be the focus of school teaching

B. more students should be admitted to universities

C. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened. 

D. children should solve financial problems themselves 

64. According to Hocking , the global economic crisis might make the youngsters    _____. 

A. wiser in money management

B. have access to better equipment

C. confident about their future careers

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

“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 (設備；裝置). The promoters (推銷員；促銷員) 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. 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 (條例). If the product is a drug, FDA（Food Drug Administration） can require proof （證明）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 marker 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 （法律訴訟）, and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items. 

56．It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______. 

A. objective     B. costly      C. unreliable (不可靠的 )      D. illegal 

57．Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product. 

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. 

58. 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 

59. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_______. 

A. a product which was designed to produce electricity

B. a product whose distributor (批發(fā)商；批發(fā)公司) was involved in a legal case

C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product

D. an example of a quality beauty product 

60. 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

D. introduce the organization of FDA. 

A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria (自助食堂), but work for Dave was scarce (不足的，缺乏的), and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—＄7,000，a legacy （遺產(chǎn)） from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident . “ It really made a difference when we were going under financially, ” says Dave. 

But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of (許多) other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars ; in others, it was more than ＄100,000. 

It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than ＄3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm .

Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sand Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them. 

Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed (分發(fā)；分配). It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents should enrich the whole community（社區(qū)）and last for generations to come.
