In a （27）of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic（28）, investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school,（29）in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over

26、whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to（30）on smaller budgets.

31、s that its diesel-engine cars were not only fuel efficient but also clean enough to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency air-quality standards. American consumers scrambled to get behind the wheel of Volkswagens “green diesels,” which combined high fuel economy, great performance, and the cache

32、t of driving an eco-friendly European vehicle.B The hitch: American air-quality standards are very different from those inEurope. European emissionsstandards are more focused on greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, primarily) and fuel economy, whileU.S. standards are aimed at limiting smog and adverse

33、health effects, so they target six principal pollutants, such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide. To span this divide, Volkswagen developed a secret sauce that allowed models to pass the EPAs test.C The fallout: The secret sauce, it was revealed last year, turned out to be good old-fashioned

34、cheating. Every Volkswagen diesel was equipped with a “defeat device”software that detected when the car was undergoing emissions testing, says the EPAthat triggered a tightening of the cars emissions-control system and allowed it to meet emissions standards in the lab. But as soon as the car came o

35、ff the test treadmill, the engine snapped back to snazzy life, spewing up to 40 times the allowable limit of nitrogen oxide (NOX), which causes respiratory ailments, especially in fragile populations such as the elderly and young children with asthma.D The company has fessed up to the cheating, but

36、that didnt stop the EPA from going after it. In June, Volkswagen agreed to pay up to $14.7 billion to settle claims with dissatisfied car owners and to answer for violations of the Clean Air Act. If the engineers who designed the cheat told themselves they were hurting no one, they were wrong: Harva

37、rd and MIT scientists estimate that the added NOX emissions could cause about 60 early deaths in the United States alone.Pro Sports Teams: Paid to Be PatrioticE The pitch: Sports stadiums are among the most patriotic places in America. There you might witness a tear-jerking surprise reunion of a sol

38、dier just home from Afghanistan with his family, on field reenlistment ceremonies, Air Force flyovers, and more. Its enough to put a lump in our throats and leave us thanking the individual teams for their commitment to our servicemen and women.F The hitch: In 2015, it was revealed that what sports

39、fans had assumed were genuine shows of support for the armed forces by teams in the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, Major League Baseball, and Major League Soccer had actually been business deals designed for profit. It wasnt that the sports teams had never staged sincere shows of patriotism; however, its do

40、ubtful the fans would have responded so emotionally to all these spectacles had they understood that many of them were lucrative recruiting advertisements, paid for by the Department of Defense.G The fallout: Arizona senators Jeff Flake and John McCain launched an investigation and published a damni

41、ng report on “paid patriotism.” They found that the National Guard, the biggest “advertiser,” had dropped millions on sports teams while simultaneously appealing to Congress for funding to meet a$100 million budget shortfall. (A typical example blasted by the senators: a $20,000 payout to the New Yo

42、rk Jets to recognize local Army National Guard soldiers as hometown heroes on the video board, as well as Coaches Club access for the recognized soldiers and three guests.) The senators added that the DOD, operating with a “complete lack of internal controls” couldnt prove that paid patriotism had h

43、elped recruitment.H Its certainly easy to be angry with the Department of Defense for wasting money on potentially fruitless advertising. But neither the leagues nor the individual teams should get a pass. After all, they were all too eager to benefit from our emotions.I In response to the report, t

44、he Department of Defense issued new guidelines that banned paid patriotism. In May, after conducting an audit, the NFL announced it identified $723,734 spent between 2012 and 2015 that “may have been mistakenly applied to appreciation activities rather than recruitment efforts,” which would be retur

45、ned in full to taxpayers.Coca-Cola: Sugarcoated NewsJ The pitch: “There is virtually no compelling evidence that fast food and sugary drinks cause obesity,” said Steven Blair of Global Energy Balance Network in a video announcing the launch of that scientific research organization. Good health, clai

46、med GEBN, is achieved when an individual balances calories consumed with calories burned.K The hitch: GEBN wasnt exactly an objective source. In 2014, James Hill, PhD, of the University of Colorado had e-mailed Coca-Cola executives:“It is not fair that Coca-Cola is been singled out as the No.1 villa

47、in in the obesity world, ” Hill wrote. “I want to help your company avoid the image of being a problem in peoples lives.” Coca-Cola contributed $1 million to support the creation of the organization. Hill and Blair gave obesity-related media interviews that put some emphasis on calories out than cal

48、ories in, without any disclosure of their ties to Coke.L The fallout: After a New York Times article exposed the special relationship between Coca-Cola and GEBN, the two parted ways. GEBN soon shut down and returned the $1million to the company. Cokes CEO, Muhtar Kent, has acknowledged an “insuffici

49、ent amount of transparency” and flaws in Cokes approach to public health. The companys chief science and health officer retired in the wake of the scandal, and Coke has since rolled out an oversight committee and a sales strategy that focuses on smaller cans and bottles.M This may not have been the

50、first time the company has bungled in public health sphere. According to the Times, back in 2001, Coca-Cola sponsored a campaign called “H2No,” in which waitstaff at some restaurants were trained to correct diners troublesome practice of ordering tap water instead of Coke.36. People can see reunions

51、 of soldiers with their families in sports field.37. People are inclined to get mad at the Department of Defense for funding advertisements which have no use in recruitment.38. Europe diversifies from USA in the emission criteria.39. After the implementation of the guideline that forbid paid patriot

52、ism, a large amount of money are collected back to citizens.40. Not all of the shows in sports stadiums are faked to be patriotic.41. Workers in GEBN helped Coca-Cola get rid of the reputation of obesity source, since Coca-Cola donatesmoney to help the establishment of GEBN.42. After the scandal, Co

53、ca-Cola has switched its marketing strategy to produce smaller size of cola.43. Coca-cola got stuck in their public image before, for it urged people to drink cola rather than tap water.44. In real life, Volkswagens engine releases pollutants which surpass the emission limitation, although it can pa

54、ss the EPAs test.45. GEBN argues that it still cannot conclusively prove that sugary drinks will contribute to overweight.Section C Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Attitudes toward new technologies often along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people t

55、end to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift. It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In

56、a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not. The face that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverle

57、ss car now-and no one can get one yet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly engaged. Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometime reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Old

58、er adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use eases for driverless cars. This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones. When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age. College gradua
