Do your parents ever try to limit how much soda（蘇打）you drink? They say drinking too much isn’t good for you, right? Now, in New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg also limits how much soda you can have—and it is not only for you but also for adults!

Starting in March, 2013, places like movie theaters, restaurants and sports centers, can’t sell sodas larger than 473 ml. Sellers who break the ban（禁令）will face a $200 fine. But you can still get whatever size you want at supermarkets.

Mayor Bloomberg says it will help people keep healthy. In New York, more than half of adults and nearly 40% of the children are overweight or obese（肥胖的）. Obesity kills thousands of New Yorkers every year and the city spends as much as $4 billion a year on medical care for overweight and obese people.

New York has a population of about 8 million. Of course it’s impossible for all New Yorkers to agree on the ban. There are different opinions（意見(jiàn)）. Keith Aiken believes the ban can help fight teen obesity. “Clearly, soda causes teen obesity. We have to do something,” he says. Chuck Kallenbach doesn’t think the ban can work. He says, “I can’t buy a large cup of soda, but I can buy two small cups.” Michael Tansini says, “Whatever size cup I want is my own business. No one should limit it!”

A.teenagers B.adults C.teachers D.sellers

2.Where can one get sodas larger than 473 ml in New York after March, 2013?

3.Who are against the ban?

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B.Over half of the children are overweight or obese in New York.

C.Nearly 40% of the New Yorkers are against the large-size soda ban.

Question: First trip to the USA

For my new job, I will travel to the United States next month and meet my American boss. This will be my first trip to the USA. I’m worried about correct business behaviour and manners. My boss invited me to his home for dinner. Do you have any advice?

Re: First trip to the USA

It's a good idea to bring a small gift or something from your country. Don’t be surprised if your boss opens the gift right away. In the USA, people often open a gift when they receive it. In Korea, that is not polite, but it’s appropriate in the USA.

Re: First trip to the USA

In some countries, such as Korea, Japan and China, it’s the custom to remove your shoes before entering a house. In the United States, you usually don’t take your shoes off.

Once I was travelling in Japan and entered a house with my shoes on by mistake. Whoops!

Re: First trip to the USA

I was surprised that American men often cook and that both the husband and wife come to dinner table and talk. You probably won’t speak about business during dinner, so my advice is to know some good topics of conversation. For example, you can talk about travel, food, music, or sports.

Of course, it’s good to ask about your boss’s family. But it’s not polite to question about age, salary, religion, or politics.

1.People usually don’t need to remove shoes before entering a house in _ .

A.Korea B.the USA C.Japan D.China

2.The word “appropriate” in the first reply means in Chinese.

A.俗氣的 B.無(wú)禮的 C.合適的 D.愉快的

3.According to Andrew's reply, it’s polite to talk about some topics during dinner except .

A.travel B.politics C.sports D.food
