• 2．A teenager of 17 walks into a corner store and grabs a Coca-Cola，but the cashier refuses to sell it to him because he is underage.That rule is expected to soon become reality in parts of Mexico，as lawmakers in several states push legislation（立法）to keep junk food away from children. "I know it can sound a bit difficult but we have to take action now，" says Lopez，a lawmaker in Oaxaca's Congress.
     More than 70，000 Mexicans have died from COVID-19，the world's fourth-highest recorded death toll，tracked by Johns Hopkins University.89% of those who died in Mexico had an underlying（內(nèi)在的）medical condition such as obesity，diabetes（糖尿?。琱igh blood pressure and heart problems.That has led to a new urgency to change diets so that the younger generation doesn't suffer those illnesses.
     The critics，however，say the leaders are using preexisting health conditions in COVID-19 patients to distract from a weak government response to the virus outbreak.Yet few people would deny that the country consumes large amounts of sugar-sweetened drinks and processed snacks with little nutrition - or that Mexico has a major weight problem.
     Oaxaca's governor approved the state's junk food prohibition（禁止）last week.Legislators still have to
  complete the legal systems，and punishment could include fines and even jail.Lopez says legislators from all over the country have called her for advice.Many other states are debating a junk food ban.However，a nationwide law would not be easy. "There are powerful commercial interests that least want it to happen，but we must prioritize（優(yōu)先考慮）the well-being of our children，" Lopez says.
  
  （1）What is Lopez's attitude towards the junk food？

  
  A．Positive.
  B．Neutral.
  C．Negative.
  D．Indifferent.
  （2）What does the underlined word "distract" mean in paragraph 3？

  
  A．Shift attention.
  B．Avoid illnesses.
  C．Break away.
  D．Keep distance.
  （3）Which of the following statements is true？

  
  A．Selling children junk food has been banned nationwide in Mexico.
  B．The younger generation doesn't suffer any weight problems.
  C．Most Mexicans who died of COVID-19 had other health problems.
  D．People who break the prohibition in Oaxaca will only be warned.
  （4）According to the last paragraph，who are most likely to oppose the legislation？

  
  A．Teenagers.
  B．Soft drink companies.
  C．Legislators.
  D．State governors.

• 3．In New Brighton，Minnesota，the Bartz brothers（Connor，Austin，and Trevor）have built beautiful snow sculptures in their front yard for the past five years.But they're not ordinary snowmen - they're huge and sea-themed!
     The tradition began in 2012，after a family fishing trip in Florida，where Connor，then 17，caught a puffer fish（河豚魚）.It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow.So they got to work，collecting as much snow as possible from around their neighborhood.After eight hours of shoveling（用鏟子鏟）and sculpting snow their 5-foot-tall puffer fish was complete.And it was a big hit!Before long，the locals and TV reporters began stopping by their front yard to enjoy their creation.
     "Each winter，we decide which sea animals would work best and be the most fun to build，" Trevor said.Since 2012，they've made a shark，a turtle，an octopus（章魚）and so on.Their favorite is the octopus，which they built in 2016.It is their biggest sculpture yet，taking nearly 500 hours and 150 tons of snow to make!
     The brothers also made sure it was just as much fun for visitors. "We liked that it was kid-friendly，with tentacles（觸須）you could slide under， " Connor said.Named by Facebook fans，Octavius the octopus was a star appearing on national news stations.
     To make the most of their project，the boys decided to raise money for a good cause. "Given that our work is made from snow，it made sense to collect money to help provide drinking water to people in need，" Austin said.They teamed up with One Day's Wages，an organization that provides clean water to people in Haiti.By the end of winter，the brothers had raised ＄17，263!
     Their advice for anyone with big dreams，"If you want to be successful，work hard and have a good attitude， " Austin said. "Success might not come immediately，but take joy in what you are doing now.When we were younger，we made many snow creations that did not make the news，but we still had a pleasurable experience! "
