Studies show that overweight people who exercise have a lower death rate than “normal” weight people who do not.Negative attitudes toward fat people begin in childhood. One study showed that, as early as nursery school, children liked
19、pictures of disabled children of similar ages better than those of fat children. Similarly, a study of college students said they would rather marry a drug user, a thief, or a blind person than someone who was fat. These attitudes create discrimination that affects fat people in every aspect of thei
20、r lives, including money matters.

21、t-obsessed culture?

29、Passage two20152016 学年度第一学期 大学英语 2期末试题 A 卷 共 13 页 第 7 页Disney Mirrors American CultureLast fall, the Walt Disney Company did something rare: it admitted defeat in its fight to build a history theme park in Virginia. The park was going to be called “Disneys America”. Some people might be wondering, h
30、owever, if Disney lost the battle but won the war, as it seems everyone is living in Disneys America these days.With its purchase of Capital Cities/ABC Inc. last month, the company founded by Walter Elias Disney in 1923 deepened its claim on American culture. In fact, it would be hard to find anothe
31、r company so widely respectedeven lovedby Americans. Americans rush out to see Disney films, and then replay themon videotapes; they read Disney books to their children; they watch Disney shows on Disney TV; they make trips to Disneyland and Disney World, where they stay in Disney hotels and eat Dis
32、ney food; Americans buy Disney products at Disney stores, and listen to Disney records of Disney songs. The world of Disney is becoming anything but small. All this makes some people more than a little upset. Harold Bloom, a professor at Yale University, provides an examination of the cultural histo
33、ry of Western society. “At the end of this road lies cultural uniformity of the worst kind. Its just terrible.” This is becoming a popular opinion in universities around the world. “Disney products,” said Paul Fussell, a professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, “have always seemed to
34、me seriously sub-adult.” Those who oppose Disney (and there are many) see its films and by-products as sexist, racist and as simpler, cheered-up accounts of American history and folklore. 20152016 学年度第一学期 大学英语 2期末试题 A 卷 共 13 页 第 8 页“Theres a kind of protection at work here,” said Henry Giroux, a pro
35、fessor at Penn State University. Like all those opposed to Disney, he can list, in detail, Disneys many crimes against culture: he is very angry, for example, about the treatment of American Indians in Pocahontas. “I mean, the entire history of what happened to the Indians, which some people would c
36、all the murder of their people, is sort of played out as a love story,” he said angrily. Giroux said he believes that Disney has become a basic educator of Americas children, most of whom will be able to perform every word of The Lion King long before they even learn US President Abraham Lincolns hi
37、storic Gettysburg Address. However, even the most strongly opposed are quick to note that Disney has many positive valuescheerfulness, good-hearted fun, and a tradition of artistic qualitythat help explain its success. Critical or not, most of those who oppose the company are Disney customers themse
