Most drinks stating that they are fruitflavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the
rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
"Shoppers need to check the labels (标签) before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content
can be nonexistent," said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. "Food production is highly
competitive. __1__ It will increase profits, and consumers won"t always realize they are being tricked."
Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables,
or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the
contents of 28 strawberryflavored products sold in stores. __2__ Of the 11 products that did contain
strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box
contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.
__3__ Let"s take jam as an example. Some strawberryflavored jam was labeled as containing no
artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.
__4__ Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current
UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. "Describing
a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is
misleading. __ 5 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread," Tokelove said. "It"s time to take
measures to protect the consumers" rights."
A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn"t contain any fruit at all.
D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.
E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
According to psychologists (心理学家), it is much more serious than simply deciding between
a soap opera and a sports program, or between pop music and politics. This television conflict
is part of a bigger power game which goes on in homes, even though most of the players do not
realize that they are playing a game at all. "It"s such a game as is not easy to notice," says
psychologist Dr David Lewis, "that many people don"t even know they"re playing it."
Unconsciously, people begin to play the game as soon as they meet their future husband or
wife. By the time the couple get married, the rules of game are already formed. The big decision,
like where to live and which school to send the children to, are usually joint decision. When it
comes to less important things, it"s a different matter. Here is just one example of this process at
work. A husband looks through a pile of holiday brochures (小册子) and announces his preference:
"The South of France". And his wife quickly agrees before he realizes that the only brochures she
gave him were those for the South of France. Similarly, she may decide on how the home should
be decorated, but he chooses the new car and decides what the family does at weekends.
"Family power struggles are interesting," says Dr Lewis. "Of course, some people are naturally
more dominant (占支配地位的) than others, and the most dominant personality in a family tries
to lead. These days, even though so many couples make a special effort to have a true and equal
partnership, men generally have a greater need to appear to be in physical control. Women, on
the other hand, are not so interested in physical control as in emotional control. On the whole,
they"re more controlling and can make the man think of something as his idea in the first place."
B. It"s an interesting game a family likes to play.
C. It"s difficult to choose with so many programs.
D. It"s a matter of power in a family.

way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing
jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.
Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they
can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for
something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary
up to their expectation.
Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.
The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的)
guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when
they lookfor a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for
the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing
yourself and your dependants (受赡养者)with daily bread and some money for leisure and
entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of
friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest.
Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your
talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.
B. they are not well trained
C. it is difficult to get employed
D. they don"t know what they are interested in
B. many employees have no working experience
C. the young people only care about how much they can earn
D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance
B. Your job must set a pattern of life.
C. Your job must offer you a high salary.
D. Your job must not ruin your talents.

your website. __1__ Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled
with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
__2__ Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site
can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版
面设计). At the top of the page is a banner(横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of
the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.
__3__ Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that
you want to put on the site.
While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: __4__ If you
are too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your
site.
Less is better. Most people don"t like to read a lot of text online. __5__
Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes
small.

about what we want to be,what we want to do,what makes us proud and happy and what we
will become.
We grew up,and everything seemed like having its own way.We accept our success or failures
and we move on.The change,the need to do the important things,the jobs,the pressures and the
failures,all kill part of our dreams.
Things have changed,but they cannot really take away the dreams.We still have to dream
on,to realize our desires,our wants,our future,even when we are considered too old for such things.
Cornel Sanders started his business when he was sixty,and started the whole successful KFC
business.The main thing is not the age-whether being too old,or too young,but it is the desire to
dream on,and the courage to realize it.
Having a dream,taking it to sleep,thinking about it,planning it,and adding all the fun to our
dreams will make us a bit closer to the realization of our dreams.
Businessmen start with a dream,a simple wish of small restaurant operation,or a huge business
of realestate (房地产) development,or a training center for English education,or just any other
selfemployed money earning fun.
The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of human race that other animals do not
have.So dream on,and put a deadline:make it a giant dream,a small one,an old one,a newfound
one,a hobby related one,a change of life one,a religious one,a stupid one,or just whatever...just
continue to dream on...Then,Just Go and Do It!

Roadtesting Happiness:How to be Happier by Australian journalist and author Sophie
Scott is a selfhelp book with a difference."Being happy is something yo
u need to focus on；it doesn"t come as a matter of course," Scott said."You always need to make an effort to be
happy,even if you reach the point of saying you are contented,you still need to keep focusing
and working on the things that made you happy." Scott also said the book was born out of her
interest in the human mind as well as how difficult she found it to cope after her mother died of
cancer two years ago.
"I was always interested in psychology,but a lot of happiness books don"t address the fact that
you can be happy even if your life isn"t going according to plan.The key is managing expectations.
" She says,"In the book,I focused on what were the things most likely to make people happy,the
ones with the most scientific evidence." People should think that being happy is yet another task
you have to do and then feel guilty when you don"t do it.Scott says the road to a positive outlook
begins with very easy,small steps.
"Women in particular today______________:they"ve got to be thin,got to have a career,got
to have a perfect relationship so the last thing you need is to be thinki
ng you"ve got to be happy all the time," she said."But it is important to improve your quality of life.Stop rushing around and
filling each moment of the day with things to do,and then sit down and think about your life and
how you"re feeling.The things I got out of this were not things that take a lot of effort:feeling more
grateful for the things you"ve got；adjusting your reaction to situations and people.It"s about changing
small habits,more tinkering around the edges instead of totally checking and changing your life."
