10、 are lots of misunderstandings of obesity. 1. If youre obese, blame your genes. Obesity rates have increased. Yet, between 1980 and 2000, the number of Americans who are obese has doubledtoo quickly for genetic factors to be responsible. At restaurants, a dollar puts more calories on our plates than
11、 ever before, because restaurant meals usually have more calories than what we prepare at home, so people who eat out more frequently have higher rates of obesity than those who eat out less.2.

Michelle Obamas “Lets Move” campaign is based on the idea that if kids exercise more, childhood obesity rates will decrease. But there was no significant decrease in physical activity levels as
15、 obesity rates climbed in the 1980s and 1990s.

18、.D. Lacking self-control leads to obesity.CTIME is an American weekly news magazine published in New York City. It was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was considered carefree, liked to tease Luce and saw TIME as important bu
19、t also fun. That accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities(including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culturecriticized as too light for serious news.

20、, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media. TIME is also known for its signature red border, first introduced in 1927.

28、er the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free. “Its unfair for people to pirate movies, ” says 15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well
29、 as local theater owners and their employees. Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaias idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners could place small infrared lights o
30、n their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras.

31、dings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的） in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave out infrar
32、ed light. Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police
33、might use the information to track down the pirates. Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films now produced arent profitable. They dont make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market t

Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _. A. adjust the brightness of the movie screensB. mak
