Many people have low iron in their blood. But pregnant women need extra iron for their own health and their baby's health. Iron is important to the development of a baby's brain and central nervous system. In poor countries, however, providing all pregnant women with iron supplements can be a financial issue. Some experts say giving supplements to babies after they are born is enough. Someone who disagrees is Paul Christian, a nutritionist at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Maryland. She and other scientists have been doing research in Nepal. She says their latest findings should settle any question about the value of making sure every pregnant woman receives iron supplements. Iron is a micronutrient. Micronutrients are important substances that are found in small amounts in foods. The researchers first completed a study among poor women in Nepal ten years ago. During pregnancy some of the women received supplements containing iron and folic acid. Professor Christian says that study showed the supplements could improve child survival. Now the children are older. The researchers returned to Nepal and tested their neurological(神经的) development. They found improved intellectual and fine motor abilities among those whose mothers had received iron and folic acid during pregnancy and for three months after. The findings appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Another new study, published in the journal Pediatrics, looks at levels of vitamin D in babies. It says newborns with the lowest levels were twice as likely to develop respiratory infections(呼吸道感染)as those with normal levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D helps build strong bones and strengthens the body's defenses against disease. The vitamin is commonly added to cow's milk and also found in supplements. But vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin. The body naturally produces it from sunlight. Carlos Camargo from Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts and other researchers did the study. It followed more than nine hundred children in New Zealand until they were five years old. 1.The passage is intended to tell us that_________. A. iron is as important as Vitamin D to people’s health B. pregnant women need much more iron and Vitamin D C. in poor countries babies are lacking iron and Vitamin D D. iron and Vitamin D may lead to smarter, healthier children 2.When expecting a baby, a woman doesn’t necessarily receive some extra_________. A. iron B. folic acid C. vitamin D D. supplements 3.It can be learnt from the passage that__________. A. providing all pregnant women with extra iron may be difficult for all countries B. plenty of micronutrients can be found in foods that you eat in your daily life C. it’s more possible for babies lacking vitamin D to suffer from respiratory infections D. all the vitamins that you need to keep healthy can be received from the sunlight 4.The underlined words in Paragraph 5 refer to_________. A. a micronutrient B. a food C. a metal D. a medicine
Much of the value mothers and fathers bring to their children is due to the fact that mothers and fathers are different. And by cooperating together and complementing each other in their differences，they provide these good things that samesex caregivers cannot provide. Mothers and Fathers Play Differently. Fathers tend to play with, and mothers tend to care for children. While both mothers and fathers are physical，fathers are physical in different ways. Fathers are rough while mothers are gentle. Fathers encourage competition；mothers encourage fairness. One style encourages independence while the other encourages security. Both provide security and confidence in their own ways by communicating love and physical intimacy. Fathers Push Limits；Mothers Encourage Security. Go to any playground and listen to the parents. Who is encouraging their kids to swing or climb just a little higher，ride just a little faster，throw just a little harder？Who is yelling，“Slow down，not so high，not so hard”？Of course，fathers encourage children to take chances and push limits and mothers protect children and are more cautious. Joined together，they keep each other in balance and help children remain safe while expanding their experiences and confidence. Mothers and Fathers communicate differently. A major study found that when speaking to children，mothers and fathers are different. Mothers will simplify their words and speak on the child's level. Men are not as inclined to modify(修改) their language for the child simply. Children who do not have the chance to meet both will not learn how to understand and use both styles of conversation as they grow. These boys and girls will be at a disadvantage because they will experience these different ways of communicating in relationship with teachers，bosses and others. Mothers and Fathers Discipline Differently Educational psychologist Carol Gilligan tells us that fathers stress justice，fairness and duty，while mothers stress sympathy，care and help. Again，either of these parenting styles by themselves is not good，but together，they create a healthy，proper balance. 1.From Paragraph 1，we learn that . A. mothers and fathers bring much of the important value to their children B. the fact that mothers and fathers are different is considerable and thoughtful C. parents and samesex caregivers all want to provide good things to their children D. cooperating together and complementing each other in parents' differences are very valuable 2.The main purpose of writing the passage is . A. to report the different roles mothers and fathers play in childdevelopment B. to introduce a famous educational psychologist to readers C. to explain the natural state of mothers and fathers D. to show children's agreement on parents' differences 3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？ A. Children need moms' softness as well as dads' roughness. B. Fathers tend towards encouraging risk while mothers tend towards security. C. Fathers' talk tends to be briefer while mothers' tends to be more childish. D. Either of these parenting styles by itself can be healthy to children. 4.What would be the best title for the passage？ A. How Children Recognize Their Fathers and Mothers B. Why Children Need Fatherlove and Motherlove C. What Children Need during Their Study D. When Children Should Be Taught
