About one out of every three toys that American children get each year comes from a
20、fast-food restaurant. In fact, McDonalds is the biggest toy company in the world. The company gives away or sells more than 1.5 billion dolls and other toys each year. The characters(角色) of Happy Meal toys are often from popular television shows and films. Why do fast-food companies give kids toys w
21、hen they are really in the business of selling food? Almost 50 years ago, McDonalds founder Ray Kroc discovered that one of the best ways to sell hamburgers was to make children want to visit his restaurants. He later helped to make TV programs with a popular clown, Ronald McDonald. Kroc realized th
22、at ads aimed at children could get whole families to eat at his restaurants. A child who loves our TV programs, Kroc said, and brings her grandparents to McDonalds, gives us two more customers. McDonalds ads have been very successful and Ronald McDonald is better known among children than Santa Clau
23、s, but this also brings some problems. Kids are eating too much junk food and more and more children are becoming fatter and fatter. About one out of five little kids eats French fries every day, which is very bad for their health. Fast-food companies shouldnt be allowed to use toys to sell food tha
24、ts bad for kids. Also, kids should be taught that they may pay more for it in the future because the food is bad for their health.BOne warm May day, two eighteen-year-old students from San Francisco State College decided to cool off with a swim at Bakers Beach. The two students were named Robert Kog
25、ler and Shirley ONeill. They headed out to sea for a distance of 50 metres. Robert was in front. “Suddenly, I heard him scream,” Shirley recalls. “I looked round and saw this great grey thing going up in the air. The water seemed to be alive.”Robert screamed again. “Its a shark! Get out of here!”An
26、eye-witness, Army Sergeant Leo P. Day was on guard at the nearby army post. He saw exactly what happened next. “I could see this boy struggling with the shark in the water,” he said. “The sea was red with blood. He was shouting and signaling someone to go back, go back. Then I saw the girl. She was
27、swimming towards him. She completely ignored his warning.”Shirley reached Robert, and tried to take his hand. “When I pulled, all I could see was his arm, handing by a thread,” she said. So she put her arm about Roberts back, and started to swim towards the shore. She kept praying “Dont let it attac
28、k again!” That journey to the shore seemed to last for hours. At last, as they neared the shore, a fisherman threw them a line, and pulled them both the rest of the way.The young man had lost a lot of blood, and died two and a half hours later. From the teeth marks, experts identified the attacker a
29、s a Great White Shark.For what Sergeant Day called “the greatest exhibition of bravery I have ever seen,” the President of the US gave Shirley a medal for bravery.55.

42、es in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the governments health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than
43、 treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor. Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families fro
44、m becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.One very effective and costless way of prevention is regula
45、r exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body.
