27、2004 act does not seem to be doing enough to change that.(分数:60.00)_正确答案:(胖了,还越来越胖根据美国疾病与预防中心的数据显示,近 20 年,美国肥胖儿童的人数翻了两番,现在超过了 17%。因肥胖而引起的健康问题有高血压、二型糖尿病,以前,这些疾病只有肥胖的成年人才可能患上。国立老年研究所资助的研究人员发出警告:这代儿童的寿命可能首次要比他们的父辈短。一直以来,根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据显示中学生参加日常锻炼的比率由 1991 年的 42%下降到了 2004 年的 28%。越来越多的孩子喜欢吃零食。2003 年政府责任
28、办公室调查发现,美国 99%的中学目前除了提供午餐以外,还兼售其他食品。为了从根源上解决问题,2004 年国会通过了一项法案,规定获得国家校园午餐资助项目的学区必须在2006 至 2007 学年开学前制定相关“健康”政策,同时规定这些学区制定与营养、体育活动以及健康饮食教育的一系列相关标准,并确保学校能切实遵守准则。距法案规定的期限已经有一年之余了,各地的实施成效却显得仍然杂乱无章。学区制定的计划标准不一:有的只有短短几段话,有的则长达 25 页。像德克萨斯、阿肯色等州的学区早就应各州司法部门的要求,为各自辖区的学校制定了标准:一面强制学校禁止销售碳酸饮料和垃圾食品,另一面则加强学生的体育锻炼
29、。其他州则只是制定了指导性方针而没有要求学校强制执行,面对校方不履行准则时也没有做出任何回应。另外有些地区的学校改革期限拉得很长,显得相对缓慢,如 6 月,俄勒冈州立法机构通过了一项法案,要求该州的学校 10 年内要达到新的体育教学要求。去年 10 月,美国高压组织学校营养协会分析了全国最大的 100 个学区的健康政策。这 100 个学区的学生人数将近占全国中小学生总数的 1/4。许多学区确实依照要求制定了营养教育、体育活动以及学校饮食方面的相关规定,但都相对宽泛。其中有些规定并没有履行州政府的提议,有的则只符合联邦政府规定的最低要求。体育活动的规定也各式各样,只有 62%的学校把体育课列为必
30、修课。“为了孩子健康”是美国定位于学校的另一个民间组织。去年,这个组织也对部分政策做了一些研究。研究发现,112 个学区里只有 30%的学区有体育教学课时的要求细则,42%的学区仅泛泛规定了学校内可销售的食品和饮料种类。一些餐厅把烤干酪辣味玉米片、炸薯条和饼干放在沙拉、果汁和新鲜水果的旁边出售,这种行为有悖于学生健康饮食的理念。现在,学校营养协会进一步采取行动。它发现遵守营养教育规则、实行自动贩卖机规则的学校还不到一半。学生体育成绩取得进展的学校里,有 64%的学校达到了体育课的要求。从根源上解决这个问题也就意味着联邦政府得补全规则,而不是禁止在校内食堂午餐时间出售口香糖、水果糖。因为国家并没

39、. “You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?“ At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990.

Levin has consistently defended the companys rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice Ts violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet.)解析:
