4.An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013.The law,approved last March in Israel,requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show.That means a woman who is 5'8"tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
"This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,"said physician Adatto."Underweight models,"he explained,"can no longer serve as rold models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny."
But some critics in this country say it is misguided,focusing on weight instead of health.They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry."I think it's an approach that isn't going to work."Said eating disorder expert Susan Ice,who worked with an organization wich creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized.He said."I realized that only legislation can change the situation.There was no time to waste,so many girls were dieting to death."
However,the efforts to regulate models's weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health."
?Still,folks including Ice say there's no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with."Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders,but it makes it harder,"she says."It's a difficult recovery environment,worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal."
61.What does BMI in the first paragraph refer to?A
A.A measure of body health based on height and weight.
B.A worldwide prize for the healthies model.
C.A new show held by those skinny models.
D.A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.
62.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring isC.
A.to change the working conditions of models
B.to lower the chance of skinny models's death
C.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
D.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
63.In the opinion of the critics,the law won't succeed becauseB.
A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B.the fashion industry is much too influential
C.it doesn't provide a proper approach that can work well
D.it doesn't create a healthy working environment for models
64.What cause Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?D
A.Establishing his fashion-model agent.
B.Metting an ambitious but too skinny model.
C.Being interviewed by a reporter.
D.Seeing a model die from eating disorders.
65.According to the passage,the new Israeli law banning skinny models isD.
A.practical      B.a(chǎn)cceptable     C.reasonable     D.controversial.

17.A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food,police and local media reported on Saturday.
The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday,F(xiàn)ebruary17,too weak to say more than a few words.
He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.
The man,who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag,said he had been in the car since December 19.
"Just incredible that he's alive considering that he had no food,but also since it's been really cold for some time after Christmas."a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens-Kuriren,which broke the news.

Umea University Hospital,where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team,said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food.Besides eating snow,the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state,physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
"A bit like a bear that hibernates.Humans can do that."he said."He probably had a body temperature of around 31degrees which the body adjusted to.Due to the low temperature,not much energy was used up."
"Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,"police said.

26.Who found the Swedish man in the snow?A
A.Snowmobilers.
B.The police.
C.A rescue team.

B.police were sure of the fact
C.police had some doubt on the fact

16."Sleep-disordered breathing"is a term for a group of conditions that can interfere with nornlal breathing while people sleep.These include snoring,mouth-breathing and sleep apnea(窒息).Sleep-disordered breathing can do more than just leave people feeling tired the next day.It can also affect people's health.In children the effects can include behavioral and emotional problems.
In a new study.1ed by Karen Bonuck at the Einstein College of Medicine.researchers asked parents about their children's breathing from when they were babies up to about age seven.The study finds sleep-disordered breathing is associated with a fifty percent increase in outcomes including hyperactivity(多動癥),aggressiveness and problems relating to other children.
Ms.Bonuck says the more serious the breathing problems,the more serious the behavioral issues were likely to be.Other studies have:linked sleep with children's behavior,but this study was extensive enough to:reject other possible causes.
How well do you sleep?A popular belief is that sleep gets worse with age.But.in another new study,those who reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep were people in their eighties.
Researchers did a telephone survey of American aduhs.Michael Grandner at the University of Pennsylvania medical school says the original goal was to confirm that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.The survey did find an increase during middle age,worse in women than men.But except for that,people reported that their sleep quality improved as they got older.At least they felt it did.
Mr.Grandner says."Even if sleep among older Americans is actually worse than in younger adults,feelings about it still improve with age."
In the study,health problems and depression were linked with poor sleep.But,based on the study.Mr.Grandner says older people who are not sick or depressed should be reporting better sleep."If they're not.they need to talk to their doctor."he says.He says heahtlh care providers generally dismiss sleep complaints from older adults as a normal part of aging.
66.Sleep-disordered breathing makes it hard for people to haveDwhile sleeping.
A.mouth-breathing    B.snoring    C.sleep apnea      D.normal breathing
67.Karen Bonuck thinks sleep-disordered breathing is likely to impact children'sB.
A.hobbies      B.behavior         C.study        D.diet
68.The telephone survey showed thatA.
A.older Americans'sleep quality improved with age
B.older Americans hatl better sleep than younger adults
C.people in their eighties had the most sleep problems
D.men had more sleep problems than women
69.From Mr.GraMner's words in the last paragraph we call learnB.
A.older adults with poor sleep needn't see doctors
