根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

According to a new report, Americans drink more soda (苏打) than ever before. Do your parents ever try to limit how much soda you drink? Do they say drinking too much isn’t good for you?

Right now, in New York, Mayor (市长) Michael Bloomberg also limits how much soda you can have — and it is not only for you but also for adults! Starting in March, 2013, places like movie theaters, restaurants and sports centers, can’t sell sodas larger than 473 ml. Sellers who break the ban (禁令) will face a $200 fine. But you can still get whatever size you want at supermarkets.

Why is drinking too much soda unhealthy for you? A study shows that for every soda a child drinks every day, their obesity (肥胖) risk appears to jump 60%. In New York, more than half of adults and nearly 40% of children are overweight. Obesity kills thousands of New Yorkers every year and the city spends as much as $4 billion a year on medical care for overweight and obese people.

New York has a population of about 8 million. Of course, it’s impossible for all New Yorkers to agree on the ban. There are different opinions. Keith Aiken believes the ban can help fight teen’s obesity. “Clearly, soda causes teens obesity. We have to do something.” he says. Chuck Kallenbach doesn’t think the ban can work. He says, “I can’t buy a large cup of soda, but I can buy two small cups.” Michael Tansini says, “Whatever size cup I want is my own business. No one should limit it!”

1.This passage is mainly written for ________.

A. teachers　　 B. adults　　 C. teenagers　　 D. sellers

2.Where can one get sodas larger than 473 ml in New York after March, 2013?

A. At movie theaters.　　 B. At restaurants.

3.Who are against the ban?

A. Chuck Kallenbach and Michael Tansini.

B. Michael Bloomberg and Keith Aiken.

C. Michael Bloomberg and Chuck Kallenbach.

D. Keith Aiken and Michael Tansini.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. New York is a city with abut 80, 000, 000 people.

B. Over half of children are overweight or obese in New York.

C. Nearly 40% of New Yorkers are against the large-size soda ban.

In their last moment before the flight took off, I heard a father saying to his daughter, “ I love you, I wish you enough.” The daughter said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough to.” They kissed goodbye and the daughter left. I could see the father was very sad.

Suddenly the father walked towards me and asked me, “Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be the last time?”

His words made me think of my father. Realizing that my father’s days were limited(有限的)，I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I understood what this father was experiencing.

“ Yes, I did.” I answered, “ But why is this a last goodbye?”

“ I am old and my daughter lives much too far away. Maybe her next trip back will be for my funeral (葬礼)，” he said.

“ When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. What does that mean?”

He began to smile. “my parents used to say it to me .
