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(内在的) medical condition such as obesity,
diabetes(糖尿病), high 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(优先考虑) the well-being of our children,” Lopez
says.
24.What is Lopez’s attitude towards the junk food?
A.Positive. B.Neutral.
C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
25.What does the underlined word “distract” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Shift attention.
B. Avoid illnesses.
C.Break away.
D.Keep distance.
26.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.
27.According to the last paragraph, who are most likely to oppose the legislation?
A.Teenagers. B.Soft drink companies.
C.Legislators. D.State governors.

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(河豚鱼). 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(用铲子铲) 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(章鱼)
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(触须) 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! ”
28.What inspired the Bartz brothers to start their creations?
A.Their family traditions.
B.Their neighbors’ praise.
C.Austin’s snowmen
D.A fish caught by Connor.
29.Which one is TRUE about Octavius the octopus?
A.It was the boys’ first creation.
B.It was the boys’ smallest sculpture.
C.It attracted wide attention.
D.It helped the boys make a lot of money.
30.What suggestion did the Bartz brothers make?
A.Think twice.
B.Start small and enjoy it.
C.Learn to be creative.
D.Make use of everything.
31.Which of the following can best describe the Bartz brothers?
