He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City，Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that A．G.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesday—when he was named deputy publisher—was not an article and was not published in The Times，but was all about The Times.That work came to be known as the “innovation(创新)report”，which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.In a conversation in his office on Wednesday，Mr.Sulzberger said he saw the innovatio n report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as“a wakeup call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”．“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place，”he said，“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role，Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still，his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides，in the newsroom or out on an assignment，Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times' owners.“I recognized the name.”said Vincent Bova，a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr.Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean，I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him，and he didn't.”So Mr.Sulzberger，in some way，has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.1．A.G.Sulzberger wrote the“innovation report”mainly to ________.A．urge revolutions in The TimesB．gain the position of deputy publisherC．promote changes in New York CityD．show directions to his family future2．What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?A．Scientific developments.B．Rapid social changes.C．Their own stubbornness.D．Decreasing readers.3．How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?A．By comparing him with others.B．By interviewing him in person.C．By giving examples of his routines.D．By quoting comments from others.4．What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?A．Casual. B．Objective.C．Admirable. D．Critical.【解题导语】本篇文章属于人物介绍类，介绍了著名出版人A.G.Sulzberger 对《纽约时报》的重要贡献，还介绍了他提出的“创新报道”理论以及他人对他的评价。

Unit 2 Working the land李仕才一、阅读理解Nowadays a third of primary schoolchildren in China are suffering from psychological ill-health as a result of classroom stress and parental pressure, according to a study published on Tuesday.The problem is so bad that urgent measures are needed, warns the study, led by British and Chinese researchers.The investigation surveyed 2, 191 pupils aged 9 to 12 in nine schools in urban and rural Zhejiang, a relatively prosperous coastal province in eastern China.Eighty-one percent of the youngsters said they worried “a lot” about exams, 63 percent feared being punished by their teachers, 44 percent had been physically bullied at least sometimes—with boys likelier to be victims than girls—and 73 percent had been physically punished by their parents.Most of the children complained they struggled to cope with the amount of homework they were assigned.Over one-third reported headaches or abdominal pains—psychosomatic symptoms of stress—at least once a week. The most stressed children reported incidence of aches or pains of four times a week.The investigation, led by Therese Hesketh, a professor at University College London (UCL) Centre for International Health and Development, pointed the finger at extreme competitiveness in China’s education system, from the onset of primary school.“The competitive and pu nitive educational environment leads to high levels of stress and psychosomatic symptoms, ” the authors say.“Measures to reduce unnecessary stress on children in schools should be introduced urgently. ”The paper appears in Archives of Disease in Childhood, a peer-reviewed journal of the British Medical Association (BMA).The “urban” setting for the study was Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang, while the “rural” setting was a poor county in Quzhou prefecture, in the west of the province.The study highlights some of the complexities that, it says, explain the demands for academic excellence and intolerance of failure.One factor is the country’s dramatic rise in prosperity, which has created “previously unheard-of possibilities for upward mobi lity” and in turn stoked pressures on children to do well at school.Other reasons are China’s one-child policy and the Confucian traditions of respect for parents and elders, filial piety, obedience and discipline.“The aspirations of many parents, who had limited educational opportunities themselves are now invested in their only children, ” it says.Previous studies on school-related stress and its impact on health are few and generally come from Scandinavia.A 2008 assessment among 10-to 13-year-old in Sweden found that 21 percent of boys and 30 percent of girls experienced headache, and 17 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls experienced abdominal pain at least once per week.【文章大意】本文是一篇报告。

2 Working the land李仕才***阅读理解。

Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin(胰岛素), and insulin causes fat growth.How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream. How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数), or GI rating tells us. Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered highGI foods, leading to faster sugar development. Bananas have a GI of 62, which is considered low.Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone, but it is especially hard for diabetics(糖尿病患者). A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics. After four weeks of a diet high in bananas, diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet. They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.What’s more, bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes, diabetes and cancers.(Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.) Bananas are also a rich source of fiber, which has been shown to help weight loss. Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.Skins from green bananas can be taken and, after removing the stem and dark tip, cut into small pieces 2－3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish. When you eat the skins, be sure you are eating organic bananas. The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides, but the skins are not. 【解题导语】本文反驳了“吃香蕉会使人发胖”这一错误观点，告诉大家香蕉不会使身体分泌很多胰岛素而导致脂肪增加，相反，香蕉对身体健康有着诸多好处。
