1. Summary
The soda tax is becoming a hot issue in New York city even can be a controversy. On the one hand according to the recent study by Dr. Claire Wang, soda tax can reduce consumption of sugary beverages by 15% to 20%,which can also help decrease the risk of obesity. On the other hand,as the journal report, soda tax is unfair and won't low down the consumption of sugary beverages. However, the soda tax are still under discussing.
2. The soda tax sounds completely stupid to me, because I love soda and I don not think it can make me gain weight. Maybe sometimes loss of self-control is one reason for obesity, but not the main reason. Soda tax is useless, it won't protect people from obesity. In my opinion, try to develop a healthy diet since childhood can be more helpful and efficient. Helping our children adapt to a healthy diet and used to the taste. Do not just give them tasty but rich food to eat. A healthy daily habit is very important.

This is my article, it is a little bit long and more like a thesis, because it offers bibliography. This article is talking about obesity in China, it mentions the causes and suggested solutions. As we all know, obesity is more like an western even American problem. However, recently in China it is also a significant problem among people especially children. This article shows us how it happen and how can we solve it. Though it is long, it is quite interesting.

Being Young VS Geting Old
1. 50 out of 150
2. Summary:
Scientists have focus on extending human life span for decades and they have already found some ways to slow down the aging process. As a result, the average human life span have been increased a lot. However, there is still a question, can cell aging be halted or reversed? The article suggests several methods, like, eating less, genetic tinkering and get married. These tips may help people to live longer and healthier.
3. My opinion about extending life:
Personally, I just want to live naturally. If I can stay healthy and have a clear mind when I am 100 years old, I'll glad to continue my life. If I feel weak and lack of energy, also my brain refuses to work, I'd rather die peacefully. I want to be an independent and useful senior instead of being a troublesome old lady. Further I'd rather spend rest of my life with my husband than live alone by myself. That will be terrible. I can barely stand a lonely life. Just like what Husain said at today's class, everyone has own destiny. Maybe what we can do is just to face it and try our best to finish our destiny. Making full use of our lives is the most important thing, live longer and healthier.
