New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL—Country of Origin Labeling.

  American Congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.

  Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked food.

  The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.

  Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙门菌病), officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach (菠菜) grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.

  The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.

  Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.

51. What’s the regulation in the new rules?

 A. Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on.

 B. The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food.

 C. Stores have to label seafood by country of origin.

 D. Labeling of food should include more useful information.

52. Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?

 A. Because it is economical and provides people with more choices.

 B. Because the United States is short of food supply.

 C. Because Americans need more and more food recently.

 D. Because foreign food is of higher quality than native food.

53. Consumers are more concerned about where foods came from because ______.

 A. they are curious about the country of the food origin

 B. they are particular about the tastes of the food

 C. they are concerned about food safety and want to get what they want

 D. most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves

54. The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect ______.

 A. right now    B. in a month    C. in three months  D. in half a year        

55. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

 A. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to the vegetables grown in local places.

 B. The government of America will forbid importing peppers from Mexico.

 C. The law was not fully carried out until last week because of food industry’s resistance.

 D. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.

Life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver. And he is proof.

  At just 18 years of age, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words. He has spoken to more than 2,500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence.

  "A lot of teachers say, 'Don't drink,' but I'm not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it," Nepola says. "I just say, 'Don't get in a car.' "

  One year ago, Nepola, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away. He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken.

  At Hackensack University Medical Center, his skull was opened to relieve pressure on his brain. He was diagnosed with traumatic(创伤性)brain injury and remained in a coma(昏迷)and on life support for nearly three weeks.

  At Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. physical therapist Erin Leahy initially found Nepola unable to move the right side of his body. But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building. Leahy called that an inspiration and a miracle.

  But Nepola's recovery is incomplete. Brain and muscular therapy has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with his right hand.

  In the process of recovery, Nepola has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story. Encouraged by his trauma doctor, Sanjeev Kaul, he teamed with Gonzalez and began attending assemblies in April.

  He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight. And his rehabilitation(康复)and visible trauma help him draw serious attention from students.

  Besides, "I'm not a wall," he said. "I feel like I know how to talk to people."

  Driving drunk, he tells students, is like playing Russian roulette(俄罗斯轮盘赌博): "You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen."

  Now, his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym. Mentally, he says, "I’m a lot happier in my life."

41. The main purpose of the text is to ______.

 A. tell readers about the dangers of driving a car

 B. warn students about the dangers of drinking

 C. tell readers about Michael Nepola’s recovery experience

 D. advise people not to drive a car after drinking

 A. his family supported him

 B. his classmate and friend never gave up him

 C. his classmate and friend are familiar with him

 D. he is just like one classmate or friend we know

43. What does the underlined sentence mean?

 A. A drunk driver will eventually have a serious accident.

 B. Drunk driving is as risky as it is excited.

 C. Drunk driving can be fun if the driver is experienced.

 D. An experienced driver can drive drunk successfully.

44. After the accident, Michael Nepola came to ______.

 A. make a full recovery

 B. recover at a magical speed

 C. be eager for more adventure

 D. enjoy life more despite his physical condition

45. What can we infer from the article?

 A. Michael Nepola believes his accident was the result of bad luck.

 B. Michael Nepola thinks that students shouldn’t get drunk.

 C. Michael Nepola wants to warn young people about the dangers of drunk driving.

 D. Michael Nepola still doesn’t care about his future or college.
