Hallween candy culd be in fr a Califrnia big change. State lawmakers last mnth passed the Califrnia Fd Safety Act, which bans fur materials fund in ppular snacks and packaged fds - including candy crm and ther Hallween treats. Set t take effect in 2027, the ban will lead candy and fd prducers t change their frmulas fr prducts sld bth in Califrnia and elsewhere arund the cuntry.
The law bans the prductin and sale f sme materials, which are used in prcessed fds including kinds f instant ptates and sdas, as well as candies. The additives (添加剂) have been linked t increased risks f cancer and nervus system prblems, accrding t the Envirnmental Wrking Grup, which started the act, and are already banned in many ther cuntries.
Fd prducers and their lbbyists (说客) ppsed the law, arguing the cnclusin that the fur additives are unhealthy shuld be made by the Fd and Drug Administratin (FDA). They thught that evaluating the safety f fd materials and additives shuld rely n the scientific accuracy f the FDA. But fd safety advcates say the FDA has mved far t slwly in regulating fd chemicals. It’s unacceptable that the U.S. is s far behind the rest f the wrld when it cmes t fd safety.
Califrnia’s act made headlines this year as a “Skittles (彩虹糖) ban” that wuld wipe ppular candies ff Califrnia shelves. But supprters f the act said the intentin is simply t require changes in the materials, as has already happened in Eurpe. Perhaps the mst standing-ut material n Califrnia’s banned list is red dye N. 3. It is allwed nly in candied and ccktail cherries in the Eurpean Unin but mre than 3,000 prducts cntain the chemical in the U. S. The list includes items like frsted pretzels and scres f brand-name candies such as Peeps and Pez. It als includes items like fruit ccktail cups, prtein drinks, and ygurts.
8. Hw will Hallween candy in Califrnia change?
A It will change its recipes.B. It will transfrm its shapes.
C. It will mve ut f Califrnia.D. It will disappear cmpletely.
9. What idea d fd prducers have against the act?
A. FDA’s cnclusin n the materials is wrng.
B. Fur materials are allwed all ver the wrld.
C. The materials’ safety needs t be reassessed.
D. FDA mves t fast in regulating fd chemicals.
10. What can we infer abut the act supprters’ request abut Skittles?
A. They demand a cmplete ban n Skittles.
B. They wish the “Skittles ban” t be headlines.
C. They want t apply Eurpean plicies t Skittles.
D. They hpe mre red dye N. 3 is used in Skittles.
11. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Califrnia candy ban.B. Fd safety in Califrnia.
C. The respnsibility f FDA.D. Change f Hallween Candy.

Recently, after I gave a virtual presentatin n my bk Indistractable, a listener wrte smething in the Zm chat that drve me crazy, “This is great but wuldn’t wrk fr me. I’m a Gemini (双子星座的人).”
Irnically, the Zm listener is right. If she thinks she’s incapable, she’ll prve it crrect — whether it has anything t d with the stars and mn r nt. Her inflexible self-identificatin denies her the chance t imprve her life. It’s incredibly self-limiting.
That’s why we shuld stp defining urselves as fixed identities and nuns, and instead start describing urselves using verbs.
Wrds are pwerful. Linguistic research shws that language shapes peple and culture; it can als give us insight int urselves and ur behavir. In a well-knwn study, researchers Rbert Rsenthal and Lenre Jacbsen had all students in the same elementary schl take a standard IQ test. Then they randmly selected a grup f students, regardless f their test results, and tld teachers the grup wuld shw “dramatic intellectual grwth”. Eight mnths later, thse students scred significantly higher n an IQ test. The study cncluded that teachers’ psitive perceptin f students crrelated t thse students’ high perfrmance n intellectual and academic tests. The labels the children received became a srt f self-fulfilling prphecy (预言).
That’s because language shapes expectatins, which shape ur reality. If we have experiences that lead us t label urselves with specific nuns during ur life, then we are likely t stick with thse labels and the behavirs that g with them.
Using verbs t identify urselves is an effective methd fr releasing “trapped prirs”—a term in psychlgy fr a perceptin f reality that’s affected r trapped by past experiences. Verbs are actin wrds well suited t describing shrt-lived behavirs that can and d change. They dn’t lay claim t ur entire identity, but they acknwledge that we are peple first and fremst, nt whatever a singular nun may say we are. S, instead f saying, “I am a prcrastinatr (拖拉者)”, yu shuld say, “I am a persn wh ften prcrastinates.”
By fcusing n ur behavirs, nt fixed characteristics, we can release harmful perceptins f urselves that hld us back frm trying methds that might imprve ur lives — like thse that can help us achieve the critical skill f being indistractable.
12. What des the authr want t shw thrugh the example f the Zm listener?
A. The cncept f flexible self-identificatin.
B. His cnfusin abut the way t self-identify.
C His understanding f prper self-identificatin.
D. The negative effects f using nuns t define neself.
13. What des the well-knwn study imply?
A. Self-fulfilling prphecies change ver time.
B Encuragement prmtes students’ imprvement.
C. Language usage will have an impact n teaching.
D. IQ has little t d with students’ academic perfrmance.
14. Hw are teachers expected t evaluate students?
A. By highlighting their behavirs.
B. By fcusing n their advantages.
C. By analyzing their typical characteristics.
D. By assessing their academic perfrmance.
15. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. Nuns are mre pwerful than verbs
B. Yur wrds can determine yur future
C. Hw we define urselves really cunts
D. Our ptin f wrds reflects ur identity

Beautiful Birthmarks: The Pwer f Acceptance
Whenever yu hear the wrd “birthmark (胎记)”, yu prbably think f ne f thse black r brwn spts yu have smewhere n yur bdy. Hwever, fr me, it’s cmpletely different — I have them bth n my lips and inside my muth, which make them quite visible and, t me, ugly. When
I was yung, these birthmarks kept making me feel extremely awkward and self-cnscius (难为情的). As these birthmarks always drew a lt f attentin, peple ften asked me, “What are thse black marks n yur lips?” When I tld peple that they were birthmarks, they usually said, “Hw strange！”
In pictures, I used t hide my birthmarks by pursing (噘起) my lips, s I wuld nt have t deal with peple’s questins. As I was grwing up, the situatin didn’t get any better. In the schl, my classmates wuld always tease me, making me feel hurt and helpless. In sciety, I ften encuntered individuals wh wuld inquire abut my birthmarks even befre they knew my name.
Such experiences left me feeling disheartened. I felt like peple judged me by my appearance withut cnsidering my persnality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic cnditin frm my mm’s side f the family. My mm’s mm has birthmarks n her lips, and my mm’s uncle and my uncle have sme n their bdies. I used t try t cver them up with makeup, but it never lked gd. I even cnsulted a dctr, wanting t have surgery t remve them. But when imagining the prcess, I wuld get nervus and eventually give up.
Whenever I cried t my mm abut them, she wuld always cmfrt me and say, “Learn t accept them and see them as beautiful birthmarks.” Hwever, it wasn’t easy fr me t accept my wn birthmarks. Every time I shwed my birthmarks, peple wuld lk at me with strange eyes. I began t regret why I had given up n the surgery and chsen t accept my birthmarks.
