18、leased by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (US-CIS). It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are 13 stripes. Instead of having to name th

19、e branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.2 “The goal is to make it more meaningful,“ explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US-CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect“ for US civic (公民的) values, Gonzalez says.3 The

20、 US isnt the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment“ from immigrants for their adopted countrys “values“. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship t

21、ests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude (裸体的) women bathing at beaches and gay (同性恋的) men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that

22、 “newcomers will be comfortable with the countrys liberal social mores (风俗)“.4 Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other. Promoting integration has becom

23、e a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes (少数民族聚居区 ) in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.5 Officials believe that a persons attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics s

24、ay that the changes can do little to help people assimilate (同化) themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?“ says Ali Noorani , of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (难民辩护联盟).（分数：8.00）(1).A Prep

29、e!

Blame FriendsObesity can spread from person to person, much like a virus, researchers are reporting today. When one perso

39、n gains weight, close friends tend to gain weight, too.Their study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, involved a detailed analysis of a large social network of 12,067 people who had been closely followed for 32 years, from 1971 to 2003.The investigators knew who was friends with whom

40、 as well as who was a spouse or sibling or neighbor, and they knew how much each person weighed at various times over three decades. That let them reconstruct what happened over the years as individuals became obese. Did their friends also become obese? Did family members? Or neighbors?The answer, t

41、he researchers report, was that people were most likely to become obese when a friend became obese. That increased a persons chances of becoming obese by 57 percent. There was no effect when a neighbor gained or lost weight, however, and family members had less influence than friends.It did not even

42、 matter if the friend was hundreds of miles away, the influence remained. And the greatest influence of all was between close mutual friends. There, if one became obese, the other had a 171 percent increased chance of becoming obese, too.The same effect seemed to occur for weight loss, the investiga

43、tors say. But since most people were gaining, not losing, over the 32 years, the result was, on average, that people grew fatter.Dr. Nicholas A. Christakis, a physician and professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School and a principal investigator in the new study, said one explanation wa

44、s that friends affected each others perception of fatness. When a close friend becomes obese, obesity may not look so bad.“You change your idea of what is an acceptable body type by looking at the people around you,“ Dr. Christakis said.The investigators say their findings can help explain why Ameri

45、cans have become fatter in recent years-each person who became obese was likely to drag along some friends.Their analysis was unique, Dr. Christakis said, because it moved beyond a simple analysis of one person and his or her social contacts and instead examined an entire social network at once, loo

46、king at how a persons friends friends, or a spouses siblings friends, could have an influence on a persons weight.The effects, he said, “highlight the importance of a spreading process, a kind of social contagion, that spreads through the network.“Of course, the investigators say, social networks ar

47、e not the only factors that affect body weight. There is a strong genetic component at work, too.Science has shown that individuals have genetically determined ranges of weights, spanning perhaps 30 or so pounds for each person. But that leaves a large role for the environment in determining whether

48、 a persons weight is near the top of his or her range or near the bottom. As people have gotten fatter, it appears that many are edging toward the top of their ranges. The question has been why.If the new research is correct, it may say that something in the environment seeded what some call an obes

49、ity epidemic, making a few people gain weight. Then social networks let the obesity spread rapidly.（分数：15.00）(1).Who had the greatest influence on people who became obese?A. Their friends.B. Their neighbours.C. Their family members.D. Their colleagues.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following statement about a friends influence is false according to the report?A. F
