Do you like drinking Coke? As a symbol of American culture, Coca-Cola is liked by many people, especially young people all around the world. But from now on, perhaps it will be hard for students in the US to get it on campus. A new agreement will end almost all sales of high-sugar fizzy drinks in US schools. The agreement allows only unsweetened juice, low-fat milk and water in primary and middle school vending machines(自动售货机)and cafeterias. Former American president Bill Clinton helped the American Heart Association and the beverage industry(饮料业) to come up with the agreement. He suffered from a weight problem and has had a heart operation since leaving the White House. He takes the agreement as “a bold step forward in the struggle to help 35 million young people lead healthier lives”.
Rising childhood obesity(肥胖)has become a big problem in America. A federal report noted that obesity has tripled among teenagers in the past 25 years.

Britain has already taken similar steps to fight obesity. A recent study shows that people in the UK are much healthier than the people in the US. However, it’s better late than never.

The rapid growth of Smartphones and electronic tablets(平板电脑)is making the Internet favourite for Americans reading news, a report said.
News consumption online increased 17% last year from the year before. Television news, newspapers, radio and magazines all lost audience last year. For the first time, the number of people who get news online at least three times a week is larger than the number of people who get news from the newspapers. TV news has been the most popular since the 1960s. It has replaced the afternoon newspapers. But now the online news seems to be more popular than the TV news.
People are used to having the Internet available on phones or small tablets. In December, 2010, 41% of Americans said they got most of their news on the Internet, more than double the 17% who said that a year earlier, the report said. In January, 2011, 7% of Americans owned electronic tablets, nearly double what it was three months earlier.

Sales of laptop computers passed desktops in the U.S. for the first time ever this fall, according to market-research firm IDC. That's bad news for backs, necks and shoulders.
Laptops are bad for our body. When you work at a computer, the keyboard should be at elbow height and the monitor should be roughly at eye level, so you can sit well in a chair. But most users simply set their laptops on a desk or table. The keyboard is too high, which makes your arms reach up, your shoulders feel tired and your wrists bend down. The monitor is too low, which pulls your head and neck forward and down and your back may feel hurt.
That's OK if you use your laptop for a short time. But if you use one for hours without stopping – as do millions of college students, business travelers, telecommuters, video-gamers and growing numbers of office workers – your body may feel hurt. Ergonomics experts have warned about laptop problems for years. But people still like laptops better than the desktops. And they use laptops anywhere – in bed, on the floor – in all kinds of positions.
“How can a mouse or a keyboard hurt you?” says Thomas Caffrey, the founder of Myofactors LLC, “Wrong positions can be bad for your body. As time goes by, a wrong position can lead to pain in the neck, shoulders, back and arms, as well as headaches.”When you work at a computer, the keyboard should be ________.
A.at elbow height | B.at eye height |
C.on a desk | D.on a table |

Once there was a king. He had two old ministers. One was kind and the other was bad. The bad minister often said bad words about the kind minister before the king. The king was very angry.
One day the king said to the bad minister, “Write two words on two pieces of paper. Write ‘live’ on one piece and ‘die’ on the other. Then put them in a jar and tell him to choose. If he takes out the paper with ‘live’ on it, I’ll let him go. If he takes out the paper with ‘die’ on it, I’ll kill him at once. ”
The bad minister was quite happy. He got two pieces of paper ready. He wrote ‘die’ on each piece of paper.
