问答题Signs of American culture, ranging from fast food to Hollywood movies, can be seen around the world. But now anthropologists have discovered a far more troubling cultural export from the United States—stigma against fat people. Negative perceptions about people who are overweight are becoming the cultural norm in many countries, according to a new report in the journal Current Anthropology. (47) Although some of the shift in thinking likely is explained by idealized slim body images promoted in American advertising and Hollywood movies, the emergence of fat stigma around the world may also result from public health efforts to promote obesity as a disease and a worrisome threat to a nation's health. Researchers from Arizona State University Dr. Brewis and her colleagues recently completed a multicountry study intended to give a snapshot of the international zeitgeist about weight and body image. (48) The researchers elicited answers of true or false to statements with varying degrees of fat stigmatization. The fat stigma test included statements like, "People are overweight because they are lazy" and" Fat people are fated to be fat". Using mostly in person interviews, supplemented with questions posed over the Internet, they tested attitudes among 700 people in 10 countries, territories and cities. The findings were troubling. Dr. Brewis said she fully expected high levels of fat stigma to show up in the "Anglosphere" countries, including the United States, England and New Zealand, as well as in body conscious Argentina. (49) But what she did not expect was how strongly people in the rest of the testing sites that have historically held more positive views of larger bodies, including Puerto Rico and American Samoa expressed negative attitudes about weight. The results, Dr. Brewis said, suggest a surprisingly rapid "globalization of fat stigma. " To be sure , jokes and negative perceptions about weight have been around for ages. But what appears to have changed most is the level of criticism and blame leveled at people who are overweight. (50) One reason may be that public health campaigns branding obesity as a disease are sometimes perceived as being critical of individuals rather than the environmental and social factors that lead to weight gain. "Of all the things we could be exporting to help people around the world, really negative body image and low self-esteem are not what we hope is going out with public health messaging. "Dr. Brewis said. Dr. Brewis notes that far more study is needed to determine the extent of fat stigma and whether people were experiencing more social or workplace discrimination as a result of the growing fat stigma. "I think the next big question is whether it's going to create a lot of new suffering where suffering didn't exist before, " Dr. Brewis said. "I think it's important that we think about designing health messages around obesity that don't exacerbate the problem. /

问答题Wars throughout history have been waged for conquest and plunder. In the Middle Ages when the feudal lords who inhabited the castles—whose towers may still be seen along the Rhine—concluded to enlarge their domains, to increase their power, their prestige and their wealth they declared war upon one another. But they themselves did not go to war any more than the modem feudal lords, the barons of Wall Street go to war. The feudal barons of the Middle Ages, the economic predecessors of the capitalists of our day, declared all wars. And their miserable serfs fought all the battles. The poor, ignorant serfs had been taught to revere their masters; to believe that when their masters declared war upon one another, it was their patriotic duty to fall upon one another and to cut one another"s throats for the profit and glory of the lords and barons who held them in contempt. And that is war in a nutshell. The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose—especially their lives.

问答题Read the following article in Chinese, and then write a summary of 200 words in English on the ANSWER SHEET. Make sure that you cover all the major points of the article. 如何保持充沛的精力 现代社会生活节奏日益加快，竞争日趋激烈，面对工作上的挑战，生活上的各种压力，许多人都有过在一段时间内情绪低落、容易疲劳、不愿运动、失眠、头痛、注意力不集中等经历，有的甚至长期或经常出现这种情况。因此，怎样才能长时间精力充沛地工作和轻松自如地生活越来越被人们所重视和关注，一些著名的医学和健康专家对这种现代人的通病进行了研究，提出了一系列简便可行的办法。 及时补充能量 在正常的一日三餐之外，每隔2—3小时少量进餐、目的是使血糖维持在能保证满足身体能量需求的水平。从生理上讲，血糖代谢是人体能量的主要来源。因此，不断补充血糖是保持精力充沛的前提，过度节食者难免精疲力尽。所以选择食物时应选择富含碳水化合物(carbohydrate)，同时有适量的纤维素(cellulose)和少量的脂肪的食物。 试试香味提神 实验表明吸人含有薄荷(mint)和百花香味(fragrance)的气体能使计算机操作人员明显减少操作失误。具体选择哪种香味并无特殊限制。只要是你喜欢，能带来愉悦感觉的气味都有助于提高大脑的觉醒程度。 补充维生素和矿物质 虽然维生素和矿物质(mineral substances)不具有立竿见影的提神醒脑功效，但他们却是机体正常新陈代谢不可缺乏的营养物质，其中B族维生素、镁(magnesium)、铁尤其重要。医学调查发现相当部分的妇女缺乏某些种类的维生素和矿物质。每日可服用复合维生素药物，但注意不能超过人体实际需要量。 健身锻炼 定期锻炼的最大受益者是你的心脏，故有“完美的体型意味着完美的心脏”之说。此外积极的锻炼能够提高机体产能的效率。当快节奏、高强度的工作需要你付出更大能量时，健康的身体能够游刃有余地释放潜能。现在，城市空气污染严重，对人体危害不浅。在假期和周末远离喧嚣的都市，每隔一段时间到林木茂盛的风景区踏青，可以令人体吐故纳新、调和呼吸、阴阳协调。在绿色植物密集的公园、森林，空气里的负离子(anion)浓度较高。在负离子充沛的地方，人们感到心旷神怡、精神振奋。空气中的负离子不仅能调节神经系统，而且可以促进胃肠消化、加深肺部的呼吸。深呼吸不仅可以摄取更多的氧气，同时能刺激副交感神经(parasympathetic nerve)系统，有助于放松。深呼吸时可以躺下或端坐。一只手放于体侧，另一只手放于腹部，用鼻子吸气，同时排除杂念，想象胸部充分扩展、肺内正充满氧气，然后感觉二氧化碳从体内排出，同时颈肩放松。每次不少于3-5分钟。
