When high school student Katie Shipley was born with a serious brain disease, doctors said she wouldn't live to go to school.

Now, Katie is not only about to graduate from Southridge High School in Oregon, but she was also named the school's prom (高中毕业舞会) queen.

Knowing Katie's wishes for prom queen, her friend Courtney Travis began reaching out to find her the prom king she needed to make her a queen. Courtney found Michael Parks, who also thought it was a great idea.

“I really got to know Shipley,” said Michael. “When you take the time to get to know other people, it really gives you a great chance to live for more than yourself.”

Courtney took a picture of the couple together and put it on her Twitter, explaining their plans for the prom. “It became very popular in the school,” she said.

Their efforts paid off, and Katie was very excited to be named prom queen.

On the day of the prom, Katie wore a very beautiful dress. Her grandmother, Joan Fraley, who also went to the prom, said the night will stay with her always.

“I was standing there and the children were shouting her name,” she said. “They called her name as the new prom queen — I started crying. I'm greatly thankful to the students of Southridge High School.”

Katie repeated that feeling.

“I just want to say thank you to my friends for all they did for me. I love you all.”

Todd Corsetti, the principal (校长) at Southridge High School said that seeing Katie as prom queen and the energy and help of his students is one of his “proudest moments.”

“I think teenagers have great hearts and are really looking to make the world a better place,” Todd said. “As we finish our school year, it's a great legacy (遗产) to leave the other classes who come after them.”

Such chronic (慢性的) diseases as heart disease, stroke, cancer and lung disorders are the most leading causes of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.

The World Health Organization (WHO) points out chronic diseases lead to about 17 million early deaths each year. The United Nations (UN) agency expects more than 380 million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015. About 80% of the deaths will happen in developing nations.

Chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact, chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in richer ones. The WHO estimates (估计) that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than 500,000 million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses.

According to a WHO report, deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries. Until recently infectious and parasitic (寄生的) diseases have been the main killers in Asia and the Pacific but they are no longer the major cause of death in most countries.

As many as 80% of the deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented, health officials say. An important tool for governments is to limit the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.

The UN aims to reduce chronic-disease deaths by 2% each year by international action through 2015, that’s to say, 36 million lives could be saved, including 25 million in Asia and the Pacific.

1.According to the passage, chronic diseases ________.

A. can be ignored　　　　 B. can be prevented

C. will disappear　　　 D. are all deadly

2.In many countries, what’s mainly responsible for increasing deaths from chronic diseases?

A. The economic development.

B. The poor living conditions.

C. Infectious and parasitic diseases.

D. Young people’s bad habits.

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Most deaths are caused by chronic diseases in the world.

B. The middle-aged are becoming victims of chronic diseases in Asia.

C. Infectious and parasitic diseases are no longer death killers.

D. To reduce chronic-disease deaths needs worldwide efforts.

4.The best title for the passage would be “________”.

A. Different Measures to Fight Chronic Diseases

B. The WHO’s Report on Heath in Developing Countries

C. The UN: the Leader of International Community

D. Chronic Diseases: the World’s Leading Killer

Kodak’s decision to file for bankruptcy (破产) protection is a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading American corporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film market for decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution.

Although many attribute Kodak’s downfall to “complacency (自满),” that explanation doesn’t acknowledge the lengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodak anticipated that digital photography would overtake film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a fateful decision, the company chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional film business.

It wasn’t that Kodak was blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confront it. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late.

Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot of money trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficult time switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existing assets into the new businesses.

Although Kodak anticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate (企业的) culture was too rooted in the successes of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embrace the future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has become a liability.

Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which undermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak’s decision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, which exploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.

1.What do we learn about Kodak?

A.It went bankrupt all of a sudden.

B.It is approaching its downfall.

C.It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry.

D.It is playing a dominant role in the film market.

2.Why does the author mention Kodak’s invention of the first digital camera?

A.To show its early attempt to reinvent itself.

B.To show its effort to overcome complacency.

C.To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution.

D.To show its will to compete with Japan’s Fuji photo.

3.Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets?

A.They find it costly to give up their existing assets.

B.They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges.

C.They are unwilling to invest in new technology.

D.They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.

4.What does the author say Kodak’s history has become?

A.A burden.

B.A mirror.

C.A joke.

D.A challenge.

5.What was Kodak’s fatal mistake?

A.Its blind faith in traditional photography.

B.Its failure to see Fuji photo’s emergence.

C.Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics.

D.Its overconfidence in its corporate culture.
