填空题Leading doctors today weigh in on the debate over the government"s role in promoting public health by demanding that ministers impose "fat taxes" on unhealthy food and introduce cigarette-style warnings to children about the dangers of a poor diet.
The demands follow comments made last week by the health secretary, Andrew Lansley, who insisted the government could not force people to make healthy choices and promised to free businesses from public health regulations.
But senior medical figures want to stop fast-food outlets opening near schools, restrict advertising of products high in fat, salt or sugar, and limit sponsorship of sports events by fast-food producers such as McDonald"s.
They argue that government action is necessary to curb Britain"s addiction to unhealthy food and help halt spiraling rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Professor Terence Stephenson, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said that the consumption of unhealthy food should be seen to be just as damaging as smoking or excessive drinking.
"Thirty years ago, it would have been inconceivable to have imagined a ban on smoking in the workplace or in pubs, and yet that is what we have now. Are we willing to be just as courageous in respect of obesity? I would suggest that we should be," said the leader of the UK"s children"s doctors.
Lansley has alarmed health campaigners by suggesting he wants industry rather than government to take the lead. He said that manufactures of crisps and candies could play a central role in the Change for Life Campaign, the centerpiece of government efforts to boost healthy eating and fitness. He has also criticized the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver"s high-profile attempt to improve school lunches in England as an example of how "lecturing" people was not the best way to change their behavior.
Stephenson suggested potential restrictions could include banning TV advertisements for foods high in fat, salt or sugar before 9 pm and limiting them on billboards or in cinemas. "If we were really bold, we might even begin to think of high-calorie fast food in the same way as cigarettes—by setting strict limits on advertising, product placement and sponsorship of sports events," he said.
Such a move could affect firms such as McDonald"s, which sponsors the youth coaching scheme run by the Football Association. Fast-food chains should also stop offering "inducements" such as toys, cute animals and mobile phone credit to lure young customers, Stephenson said.
Professor Dinesh Bhugra, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said: "If children are taught about the impact that food had on their growth, and that some things can harm, at least information is available up front."
He also urged councils to impose "fast-food-free zones" around schools and hospitals—areas within which takeaways cannot open.
A Department of Health spokesperson said: "We need to create a new vision for public health where all of society works together to get healthy and live longer. This includes creating a new "responsibility deal" with business, built on social responsibility, not state regulation. Later this year, we will publish a white paper setting out exactly how we will achieve this."
The food industry will be alarmed that such senior doctors back such radical moves, especially the call to use some of the tough tactics that have been deployed against smoking over the last decade.
A. "fat taxes" should be imposed on fast-food producers such as McDonald"s.
B. the government should ban fast-food outlets in the neighborhood of schools.
C. "lecturing" was an effective way to improve school lunches in England.

填空题A Picasso painting valued at about $140 million is the centerpiece of a new type of auction at Christie"s, combining Modem and contemporary artworks spanning 100 years, that will kick-start its postwar and contemporary sales in New York in May.
Scheduled for May 11, "Looking Forward to the Past" is an evening sale of about 25 lots organized by Loic Gouzer, of Christie"s postwar and contemporary art department. Mr. Gouzer was also the specialist responsible for Christie"s much-hyped "If I Live I"ll See You Tuesday" auction of 35 works by fashionable contemporary names, which raised $134.6 million last May.
"Traditionally, people would start by collecting Impressionist and Modem art, and then gradually turn to contemporary," Mr. Gouzer said. "Recently, we"re seeing the contrary. Collectors start with contemporary, and then they start to look for other works that have quality, relevance and freshness."
Picasso, who died at 91 in 1973, has nevertheless traditionally been included in auctions of Impressionist and Modem art. But Christie"s said that the broadening client base at the week of contemporary art sales in New York was crucial in persuading an unidentified seller to come forward with Picasso"s 1955 canvas "Les Femmes d"Alger (Version "O")," around which the auction house fashioned its "Looking Forward to the Past" sale. Inspired by Eugène Delacroix"s 1834 Orientalist masterpiece, "Women of Algiers," this was one of a number of works Picasso produced in the 1950s and 1960s in response to earlier artists he admired. This particular painting was last seen on the market in November 1997, when it was bought by the London dealer Libby Howie, on the behalf of a client, for $31.9 million at Christie"s auction from the collection of the Americans Victor and Sally Ganz.
Christie"s new valuation of about $140 million on this superior Picasso ranks as one of the highest estimates ever put on an artwork at auction. Francis Bacon"s "Three Studies of Lucian Freud," which sold for a record $142.4 million at Christie"s in November 2013, carried a presale estimate of more than $85 million. Christie"s has guaranteed the seller of "Les Femmes d"Alger (Version "O")" an undisclosed minimum price. It would not specify whether this guarantee had been funded by the auction house or by a third party.
Last week, Mr. Gouzer posted an image of a 1938 Picasso painting of Dora Maar on Instagram. That work will be in his sale with an estimate of more than $50 million. But there are still gaps, Mr. Gouzer said. "I"m still looking for a 1960s Carl Andre."
A. is an auction organized by Loic Gouzer.
B. is an evening sale of 35 contemporary works.
C. is Picasso"s 1955 painting valued at about $140 million.
D. is Picasso"s 1938 painting estimated more than $50 million.
E. is Eugène Delacroix"s 1834 Orientalist master piece.
F. was produced by Francis Bacon in the 1950s and 1960s.
G. set a record of $142.4 million at Christie"s.
