Polish President Andrzej Duda has signed a bill into law that largely limits trade on Sundays, saying it will benefit family life.

The legislation（立法）, worked out by the government and the Polish trade union, is expected to draw protests from large western supermarket chains that are the main target of the law. A large part of their profit is earned on weekends.

As of March 1, shops and markets are closed on two Sundays per month; in 2019 only one Sunday a month will be open for shopping; and starting in 2020, there will be no Sunday shopping with a few exceptions.

Duda praised the law as giving children a chance to be with parents and giving shop workers some needed time off. He also said big traders will need to adjust their practices to the new system and asked them for “understanding”. But critics say some of them make employees work long hours for modest pay.

“A family should be together on Sundays,” Olszewska said after buying some food at a local Biedronka, a large discount supermarket chain. She said that before she retired she served cold cuts in a grocery store, and was grateful she never had to work on Sundays.

There are some exceptions to the ban. For instance, gas stations, cafes, pharmacies and some other businesses are allowed to keep operating on Sundays.

Anyone breaking the new rules faces a fine of up to 100,000 zlotys （$ 29,500）, while repeat offenders may face a prison sentence. Polish trade union appealed to people to report any violators to the National Labor Inspectorate, a state body.

1.Who will get some loss from the bill according to the passage?

A. The polish President Andrzej Duda.

B. Some large western supermarket chains.

C. All the markets in Poland.

D. Some common Polish families.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. Children had no time to play with their parents before.

B. Duda paid great attention to the shop workers.

C. Some workers will work extra hours on weekdays.

D. All the businesses will make adjustments to the bill.

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Family life will be more important than shopping in Poland.

B. More and more western supermarket chains will leave Poland.

C. The supermarket employees will have no job on Sundays in Poland.

D. Sunday shopping will be limited by the government in Poland.

When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohm.

President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

In addition to Koreans some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word “de”, which means “of”. This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

1.The story of Bill Clinton is used to _____ .

A．improve US Korean relations

B．introduce the topic of the text

C．describe his visit to Korea

D．tell us how to address a person

2.The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A．action plans        B．naming customs     C．travel maps        D．thinking patterns

3.When a woman marries in Korea, she _____.

A．continues to use her family name

B．uses her husband’s given name

C．shares her husband’s family name

D．adds her husband’s given name to hers

4.To address a married woman properly, you’d better ______ .

A．use her middle name                    B．use her husband’s first name

C．ask her which name she likes              D．change the order of her names

5.What can NOT be inferred from the text? ______ .

A．Wives do not keep their family names in Japan.

B．Different countries have different naming customs in some way.

C．Naming custom will not cause any puzzle among Asian countries.

D．The naming custom in Korea is different from that of Japan.

An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5'8''tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.

“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”

But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” Said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.

But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation can change the situation. There was no time to waste, so many girls were dieting to death.”

However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.

Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”

1.What does BMI in the first paragraph refer to?

A.A measure of body health based on height and weight.

B.A worldwide prize for the healthiest model.

C.A new show held by those skinny models.

D.A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.

2.One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is __.

A.to change the working conditions of models

B.to lower the chance of skinny models’death

C.to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness

D.to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders

3.In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because______.

A.it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.

B.it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well.

C.it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models.

D.the fashion industry is much too influential.

4.According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is__.

A.practical B.arguable C.acceptable D.reasonable
