The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.
A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
1.What is the best title of the text?
A．A website aimed at children’s food B．The cartoon guide named “Haiz”
C．An “aducation” website for children D．A popular online video game
2.Why did the government start the website?
A．To advertise the video game for children. B．To help children know about advertising.
C．To attract the biggest market of buyers. D．To sell the products of its company.
3.What can players do in the website game?
A．Play video games during the trip. B．Travel to a supermarket.
C．Eat in a fast-food restaurant. D．Choose appearance for their character.
4.Children are important for advertising because they are
A．important for the society B．the most potential buyers
C．easily influenced by ads D．easily affected by poor products
5.According to Michelle Obama, lots of foods advertised for children are ________.
A．of low quality B．yummy C．of high nutrition D．healthy

Almost a decade ago, the federal government dropped $10 million for an Earth-monitoring satellite that never made it into space. Today it sits in a closet in Maryland. Cost to taxpayers for storing it: $1 million a year. And that's just what's hiding in one closet. Who knows what's in the rest of them?
Because we think the government should be held to at least the same standards as a publicly traded company, and because as taxpayers, we're America's shareholders, we performed an audit （财务检查）of sorts of the federal books. We're not economists, but we do have common sense. We tried to get help from Congressional staffers from both parties, as well as various watchdog groups and agencies. In the end, we found that the federal government wastes nearly $1 trillion every year.
That's roughly equal to the amount collected annually by the Internal Revenue Service in personal income taxes. Put another way, it's also equal to about one-third of the country's $2.9 trillion total annual budget. And reclaiming that lost trillion could help wipe out the country's annual budget deficit（赤字）, improve education, and provide health insurance for those who don't have it.
So how do you define "waste"? David Walker of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a federal watchdog agency, calls it "the government's failure to give taxpayers the most for their money." For our part, we used the kind of household test you would use on a piece of meat sitting in your refrigerator: If it smells rotten, it's waste. Our government regularly pays for products and services it never gets, wildly overpays companies to do things it could do more cheaply itself, loses money outright due to lax（不严格的）accounting and oversight, and spends money randomly on unnecessary programs.
How exactly does the federal government waste your hard-earned tax dollars? We've identified what we consider ten of the worst ways.
1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph1 really means________.
A．there are many other closets B．there are some other satellites
C．there is something else in the closets D．the waste may be quite amazing
2.Which of the following can best describe the feeling of the author?
A．Annoyed. B．Calm. C．Surprised. D．Not concerned.
3.Which of the following statements may be right?
A．The country’s annual budget is usually decided by the public.
B．The government failed in launching the satellite.
C．The government is only wasting money in space experiments.
D．The amount collected annually in personal income taxes is equal to the country’s budget.
4.The best title for the passage would be________.
A．Protecting Our Rights!
B．Our Country Is In Danger!
C．The Government Is Wasting Our Tax Dollars!
D．How to Prevent Government from Wasting Money!
5.What might be talked about if the passage is continued?
A．The government’s taking some steps to stop wasting taxes.
B．Presenting people’s feelings against the government’s wasting taxes.
C．Giving suggestion to help the government solve the financial problem.
D．Listing how the government is wasting taxes.
