Birthdays are especially important to the very young and the very old. On their birthdays, people receive birthday cards and birthday presents from their family and friends. Children’s cards often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday” or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.”

In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year take a cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and put down again sharply) by their friends.

In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is the age at which people can drink alcohol legally.

In Britain, people celebrate 21st birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age. You may see a sign by the side of a road saying: “Dave Ell is 40 today!”, put there by Dave’s friends. At about 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people live to be 100, so a 100th birthday is very special. In Britain, people reaching this age may receive card containing a printed message from the Queen.

Reality TV show has been charged with making the nation silly, but a study suggests part of the show could be good for children.

Massey University PhD student Jacinta Hawkins looked at the influence of TV programs on kids’ health knowledge, attitudes and behavior. She said programs which showed overweight people on TV is making children say “I don’t want to grow up like that’.”

The research was part of Ms Hawkins’ paper on how schools improve health. She spoke to 92 children, ages from 7 to 13, from six Auckland primary schools to find out how they received information on nutrition and physical activity. Some said they learnt from TV news programs, but most of them mentioned reality shows such as Fat Chance, Honey We’re Killing the Kids and Downsize Me.

“ Earlier studies had looked at the effect junk-food advertising had on children,” Ms Hawkins said, “but messages within TV programs had not been explored. Children from the six schools largely recognized program content, rather than advertising, as a source of food and physical activity messages. They are learning habits of eating and exercise from TV programs. ”

The children also recognized that their parents had a role to play in shaping health behavior. Talking about Honey We’re Killing the Kids, which shows how people will look if they continue with good habits, children said they developed attitudes from their family’s habits. MMs Hawkins said children remembered what they had seen and thought it was the parents’ duty to lead by example.

28. What did Hawkins find about reality TV show?

A．It may teach kids much scientific knowledge.

B．Some shows may have kids develop ill habits.

C．Some shows may help kids eat more healthily.

D．It may draw kids’ attention away from studies.

29. What method did Hawkins use to get her findings?

A．Performing experiments.	B．Doing interviews.
C．Studying science reports.	D．Comparing earlier studies.

30. How did most students get information on health?

A．From health experts.	B．From news reports.
C．From television ads.	D．From TV shows.

31. According to the children, which may have a great influence on their health behavior?

A．School.	B．Friends.
C．Family.	D．Scientific research.

How to Win Votes in a School Election

In many ways, school elections are just like elections anywhere else.     32     You will also need to work hard to make sure people know who you are and why they should vote for you.

● Decide what position to run for.     33     Make sure you know what the position does, and what you will be able to do once you get there. There are limits to what you can do while in office, so knowing your responsibilities can keep you from making foolish campaign promises that you can’t keep.

●     34     Talk to your friends about running, make sure they think it is a good idea, and ask for their help in running. You won’t be able to do this alone. It looks good if the people who know you best will vote for you. Your network can also help with more practical activities, such as designing and making posters and encouraging their classmates to vote for you.

● Advertise yourself. You and your campaign team should make posters, T-shirts, and other items that will let other students learn your name even if you don’t get to talk to them.     35    

● Encourage people to vote. Sometimes the hardest thing is actually getting people to participate in the election.     36     Get people familiar with you so that they trust you enough to give you their vote.

A．Create a network.

B．Argue with people.

C．Therefore, they will eventually vote for someone else.

D．Speak to as many people as you can throughout the school.

E．Student organizations have many offices with different responsibilities.

F．To win over voters you need to reach out to as many voters as possible.

G．The most important is to include your name and the position on everything you make.
