The Government’s sugar tax on soft drinks has brought in half as much money as Ministers first predicted it would generate,the first official data on the policy has shown.
First announced in April,2016,the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml,was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity(肥胖).It is believed that today’s children and teenagers are consuming three times the recommended level of sugar,putting them at a higher risk of the disease.
Initially the sugar tax was expected to make ￡520m a year for the Treasury.However,data of the first six months showed it would make less than half this amount.At present it is expected to generate ￡240m for the year ending in April 2019,which will go to school sports.
It comes after more than half of soft drinks sold in shops have had their sugar levels cut by manufacturers (制造商) so they can avoid paying the tax.Drinks now contain 45 million fewer kilos of sugar as a result of manufacturers’ efforts to avoid the charge,according to Treasury figures.Since April drinks companies have been forced to pay between 18p and 24p for every litre of sugary drink they produce or import,depending on the sugar content.
However,some high sugar brands,like Classic Coca Cola,have accepted the sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers.Fruit juices,milk-based drinks and most alcoholic drinks are free of the tax,as are small companies manufacturing fewer than 1m litres per year.
Today’s figures,according to one government official,show the positive influence the sugar tax is having by raising millions of pounds for sports facilities (设施) and healthier eating in schools.Helping the next generation to have a healthy and active childhood is of great importance,and the industry is playing its part.
4.Why was the sugar tax introduced
A.To collect money for schools.
B.To improve the quality of drinks.
C.To protect children’s health.
D.To encourage research in education.
5.How did some drinks companies respond to the sugar tax
A.They turned to overseas markets.
B.They raised the prices of their products.
C.They cut down on their production.
D.They reduced their products’ sugar content.
6.From which of the following is the sugar tax collected
A.Most alcoholic drinks.
B.Milk-based drinks.
C.Fruit juices.
D.Classic Coke.
7.What can be inferred about the adoption of the sugar tax policy
A.It is a short-sighted decision.
B.It is a success story.
C.It benefits manufacturers.
D.It upsets customers.

Few people realise that it takes an army of volunteers for one young child to have a half-hour riding lesson.I volunteer at Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association (VTEA) in Alder grove.B.C.,close to the Washington State border.It takes a few paid staff and an army of volunteers—approximately eighty—to take care of a dozen horses and help with eighty or more children during the week.There is a large barn to clean,and hay nets and water buckets to brush and fill.Specific feeds for each horse must be prepared twice daily...The list is endless.
To prepare a horse for a ride,someone has to bring it in from outside,at times sinking into inches of black,sticky mud during the winter months.Usually,two volunteers groom (刷洗梳毛) the horse and put on the special saddle.Then they lead the horse to where the lesson takes place.There,one volunteer leads the horse,and usually two walk alongside for safety,one on each side.Then the horse must be returned to the barn,unsaddled,cleaned and fed.
Yet so many people willingly give their time because the children need us.Ranging in age from two upwards,the children have varying degrees of mental disabilities.Some have severe physical handicaps (残疾).Riding strengthens their muscles and bones,enabling them to enjoy a more fruitful life.
Throughout my past life as an accountant,business author and speaker,I volunteered on many levels and in many organizations.However,a terrible motor-vehicle accident changed my life in a split second when my car was hit—as was my head—causing severe brain injury.It was hard to accept a new “me” and the often-frustrating limitations,until I discovered that I needed to do something that I have a passion for.I’d loved horses from childhood,and working with them and with the children has helped turn my life around,making me warm.The journey back has been painful but worthwhile.Now,fourteen years later,I am a different,more simplified person.
8.What is the main idea of paragraph 2
A.Horses for riding lessons are cared for carefully.
B.Horse-riding lessons bring children many benefits.
C.Volunteers have much to do for a horse-riding lesson.
D.Disabled children are taught horse-riding in a different way.
9.What does the author think of her voluntary work in VTEA
A.Risky and thrilling.
B.Tiring but worthwhile.
C.Funny and enjoyable.
D.Demanding but fruitless.
10.What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph
A.The accident transformed her thoroughly.
B.Volunteering has brought her a win-win result.
C.She’s never recovered from the injury.
D.She wasn’t interested in voluntary work before.
11.What could be the best title for the passage
A.Helping Children in Need
B.Surviving the Brain Injury
C.Volunteering:A Journey Back
D.Horse-riding:Toughest Lessons

In the last three years,I have read approximately 150 books.Reading almost every day in the last three years has increased my reading comprehension.It has also improved my own writing skills.This has boosted my confidence and encouraged me to start writing more often.I am now writing a fiction book.I write and edit for Odyssey,and I am an officer for the SNHU Book Club.This has also helped me become a better student.I’m able to read and comprehend the text more for each class,and do well on the assignments because of my better writing skills.I truly love it,and can’t imagine where I would be right now if I hadn’t become a bookworm.
Because I read so much,I have decided to start doing a written version of a book haul (读书分享会).In short,a book haul is a review of the books read each month.They are typically done as a video,but until I have the proper equipment to do that,I will be writing mine.At the end of each month I will discuss the books I read,the books I bought,or received,and then ask for your thoughts and suggestions.
January was a busy month for me.I only finished one book,Mark of Distinction by Jessica Dotta.It’s the second book in the Price of Privilege trilogy.I bought Carve the Mark,Veronica Roth’s new book,and An Unquiet Mind,a psychology based book by Kay Redfield Jamison.I plan on reading these in February,as well as the third section of the Red Queen series,King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard,which will be released on February 7.I am so excited for it!
If you’ve read any of the books I ever mention,feel free to contact me!I love chatting about books!
