Passage 6 Stop following me like that!
It was a hot day in summer and there were no trees along the street. A woman came out of the supermarket and began walking to the station. She was tall and fat. She carried a bag.
A small boy came out of a shop in the same street, and followed the woman. He kept close to the woman all the time and he kicked the woman's shoes several times. The woman looked at him angrily each time.
At the sixth kick, the lady stopped, turned around and said to the boy, "Stop following me like that!"
"I'm sorry. But don't stop me from following you, please!" the boy said, "It's very hot and there is no shade in any places in the street!"

Stop following me like that！不要像那样跟着我！
这是一个表示命令的祈使句。祈使句是表示请求、命令、建议、祝愿、邀请或要求的句子。祈使句的主语通常为第二人称（you），但一般都被省略，只有在特殊的情况下才补充主语（you）。所以祈使句句首的动词总是用原形，不能用其他形式。

肥胖税
“肥胖”已成为一个世界性问题。说起“肥胖大国”，我们首先会想到美国、英国。英国是糖分摄入量最高的西方国家之一。英国财政大臣曾经表示，过度饮用含糖饮料会引发某些疾病，为了“拯救下一代”，英国应该对生产含糖饮料的企业征税。
