Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it39。 s acpanied by an appeal: Just think about those starving orphans in Africa2! Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites3. Instead of staying clean the plate, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow. According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount remended by the government, according to a USA Today story4. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers plain about too much food rather than too little. Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand. Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large。 23 percent had no opinion。 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can39。 t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions。 but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller. It39。 s not that working class Americans don39。 t want to eat healthy. It39。 s just that, after long hours at lowpaying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal5. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year39。 s Christmas presents. 第二篇 课外学习带来很大不同 让一群大学生去负责募集 30 万美元的马拉松式的跳舞活动，这种募捐听起来肯定有点儿冒险。 当你知道这笔募捐款是提供给需要医疗护理的儿童，你可能会觉得这个想法很疯狂。 佛罗里达大学一个 22 岁的学生 Darren Heitner 说大多学生领导者不想在他们不太关注的事情上花太多时间。 他任马拉松式跳舞经营部经理两年了。 Yvonne Fangmeyer 是威斯康星大学学生组织办公室主任，在二月组织了一次学生参加校园组织的调查。 她说增进友谊是大家提到最多的参加校园组织的原因。 像 Fangmeyer 的大学那 样规模很大的学校，有 4 万多学生，学生首先想要找到属于他们的校园一角。 威斯康星大四的学生 Katie Rowley 肯定了调查结果。 “我加入校园组织希望让校园感觉上变得小一些，这样不仅可以投入到校园生活中还可以交到很多朋友”。 这些关于友谊的看法并不意味着学生不考虑他们的经历。 Heitner 说：“我认为很多人加入校园组织来丰富经历，刚上大学的时候，我加入了一些校园组织，希望培养自己的领导能力。 ” 但是如果没有热情，学生领导者很难经受风雨考验。 例如，在四月份，威斯康星大学几个学生组织展开了一项活动，向学生讲述无家 可归和贫困。 学生领导必须面对一些问题，比如解决争论，受雨天影响而更改活动日期，同学校复杂的机构打交道。 Fangmeyer 说：“课外的这种学习确实带来很大不同。 ” 新东方在线 [ ] 20xx 职称英语强化班网络课堂电子教材系列 阅读理解中文朗读 5 Outsidetheclassroom Learning Makes a Big Difference Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy. Most student leaders don39。 t want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22yearold University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon39。 s operations officer for two years. Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student anization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted39。 a survey in February of students involved in campus anizations. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining. At large universities like Fangmeyer39。 s, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to ,belong in their own er of campus. Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey39。 s findings. I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an anization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends. All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren39。 t thinking about their resumes. I think that a lot of people do join to 39。 fatten up their resume39。 , said Heitner. At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these anizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles. But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that e. For example, in April, several student anizations at Wisconsin teamed up for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university39。 s plicated bureaucracy. Outsideof the classroom learning really makes a big difference, Fangmeyer said. 第三篇 米洛舍维奇 之死 上周六前南斯拉夫领袖米洛舍维奇史洛波登死于设在海牙的前南斯拉夫国际刑事法庭的牢房里。 终年 64 岁。 自 20xx 年 2 月以来米洛舍维奇一直在那里受审。 米洛舍维奇 1941 年生于南斯拉夫塞尔维亚的波扎雷瓦茨市。 他在家排行老二。 爸爸是牧师，妈妈是学校的老师。 早在他幼年时便父母双亡。 据他的私人传记作者讲，小米洛 舍维奇很一般。 他“对体育不感兴趣，尽量避免旅行。 经常穿白色的衬衫打着领带，打扮得 老气横秋的来上学”。 他的一个老朋友说，他能“把他想象成一个站长或是一个一丝不苟的公务员。 ” 事实上，如果 不是跟米拉结婚的话，他有可能成为这样一个人。 大家认为她是他的动力。 大学以后他表现得很好。 他在多家不同的公司工作过，是个共产主义者。 1986 年，任塞尔维亚共产党总书记。 但是直到这时他仍未受到真正的重用。 是科索沃给了他这次机会。 科索沃是塞尔维亚的自治区，以阿尔巴尼亚民族为主，少数人是塞尔维亚人。 1989 年，他被派到科索沃去消除感觉受到歧视的塞尔维亚人的恐慌。 然而在抗议中米洛舍维奇一直充当着塞尔维亚人保护者的角色。 这样一来，他便成了一个残忍暴戾的人。 他在家里和米拉谋划他的政敌的垮台。 和塞尔维亚电台的导演共同 谋划上 新东方在线 [ ] 20xx 职称英语强化班网络课堂电子教材系列 阅读理解中文朗读 6 演一出目的在于让他获得全国最大权力的现代媒体大战。 1990 年，他被选为塞尔维亚的总统。 1997 年，他当选为南斯拉夫的总统。 接下来的故事就众所周知了。 他的民族主义者的身份导致了南斯拉夫的其他种族为自己的权利、土地而战。 1991 年， 6 个共和国中的 4 个宣布独立后，南斯拉夫解体了。 战争开始后持续了好几年，死伤百万人。 接着西方国家干预了进来。 北大西洋公约组织炮轰了南斯拉夫， 20xx 年这位领导人最终下台了。 不久，塞尔维亚新政府逮捕了他，并送他去接受海牙的南斯拉夫 战争审判法庭的正义审判。 Milosevic‘s Death Former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic was found dead last Saturday in his cell at the Haguebased International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
