Researchers have just offered evidence in a
study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties, much like a
virus. When one person gains weight, their close friends often follow, but the
finding might also offer hope.
If friends help make obesity acceptable, then
might also be influential in losing the fat. The researchers note that
support groups are already an effective tool in dealing with other socially
influenced problems, like alcoholism.
The findings appeared in the New England
Journal of Medicine, The researchers used information collected from 12,000
people. It was collected between 1971 and 2003 as part of the Framingham Heart
Study.
The information was highly detailed. There
was even contact information for
close friends of the people in the study.
The researchers examined more than 40,000
social ties. They found that a person’s chances of becoming severely overweight
increased by 57% if a
friend had
become obese.
Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School was a lead investigator in the study. He says there is a direct causal
relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by
a friend.
The study found that the sex of the friends
was also an influence. In same-sex friendships, a person had a 70% increased
risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after
weight gain in brothers. In sisters, it was 67%. Between husbands and wives, it
was a little less than 40%.
The researchers also considered the effect
of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the University
of California, San Diego, was the other lead investigator. He says a friend who
lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same
neighborhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major
part of people’s health is tied to their social connections.
Both investigators say their research shows
that obesity is not just a private medical issue, but a public health problem.
1.What
does the underlined sentence in Para2.mean?
A. Obesity has a negative influence on a
close friend.
B. Friends might also play a part in losing
weight.
C. One might have a positive influence on
one’s friend.
D. Friends usually don’t follow each other
to lose weight.
2.Who is
mostly likely to gain weight?
A. A man who has a fat
brother.
B. A husband who has a fat wife.
C. A wife who has a fat husband.
D. A woman who a fat female friend.
3.Which
of the following statements doesn’t the passage agree with?
A. You are sure to lose weight if you have a
skinny friend.
B. If one gains weight, one’s friends are
likely to get fat.
C. A person’s health is closely linked with
his /her social relationship.
D. Even if the friend lives far away, the
influence still remains.

reason why the study involves both family members and friends is that _____.
A. researchers fail to find a more different
sample
B. researchers have different ideas for
family members and friends

Anyone for rocket salad? The Chinese are now
growing huge vegetables from seeds they sent into space.
If you are the type who worries
about the air miles travelled by fruits and vegetables, these beauties
aren’t for you. It's because they have travelled a little further than most.
The seeds from which they grew were fired
into space, where they orbited the earth for
two weeks. Once they returned they were grown in hothouses, producing the monster kinds seen here.
China, which is behind these space fruits
and vegetables, says they could be the answer to the world's food crisis.
The 21-pound tomatoes, nine-inch
chillies, 15-stone pumpkins and large
watermelons growing at the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences’
hothouses can feed many more than their
smaller cousins, and may have more nutrients, the scientists say.
Researcher Lo Zhigang said,
"Traditional agricultural development has taken us as far as we can go and
demand for food from a growing population is endless. Space seeds offer the
opportunity to grow fruits and vegetables bigger and faster. "
He admitted he and his colleagues could not
explain why time in orbit caused the seeds to change genetic structure. But
they guessed exposure to the cosmic（宇宙的）radiation that attacked the spacecraft in
orbit, as well as the near zero gravity conditions, microgravity, could play a part.
"We don't think there's any
threat to human health because the genes themselves do not change; just their
order changes," he said. "With genetically-modified（GM）crops you have seen environmental problems because they have added
genes that can damage other organisms. But with space seeds they don't gain
genes; they can only lose them. "
He also claimed the Vitamin C content in
some space vegetables was nearly three times higher than in common vegetables,
while levels of zinc are also increased.
Western scientists are doubtful.
NASA researchers who have experimented with seeds in space say there is not
enough benefit to show the cost is reasonable.
1.What do the underlined words
"these beauties" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to ______?
A. Beautiful views along the air routes.
B. Travelling experiences in space.
C. Seeds fired into space.
D. Giant vegetables.
2.We can
infer from Lo’s words in Paragraph 6 that _______.
A. our conventional agriculture has
developed too slowly.
B. we are asking too much from nature
C. space seeds may help meet our demand for
food
D. we'll grow crops in space in the future
3.Why
the seeds changed their genetic structure _______.
A. remains to be proved
B. is discovered by Lo Zhigang
C. has something to do with the conditions
in hothouses
D. is due to the radiation that attacked
them directly
4.What
can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Western scientists’ doubt is
unreasonable.
B. Western scientists don’t
believe that Chinese scientists have succeeded in the experiment.
C. Western scientists have proved space
seeds to be of no benefit.
D. Western scientists think the cost of
space seeds outweighs the benefits
Doomed beauties such as Cleopata and Manilyn
Monore were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form
partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain
Janes.
According to the research by Dr John Blain
of the University of Southern California, relationships between people whose
professions largely depend on their appearance, such as models or actors, tend
to end much faster than those between
lawyers, doctors and students.
Blaine said the beautiful felt different
from children.
They are
treated as special, which may create both arrogance(傲慢) and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as
an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town,
told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the
majority fails, they have few talents to make a living.
Blaine added that beautiful people score
poorly on the “big five”--- the key factors
American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are
neuroticism(神经过敏)，including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向) ；openness to new experiences;
agreeableness; and conscientiousness, or sticking by agreements they have made.
Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start
to fade.
Krista Sutherlanf ,of the University of
California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the
outside, such as the former “dram teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or
Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared, did
not necessarily lead to happiness.
1.What does the underline
sentence “Doomed beauties such as Cleopata and Manilyn Monore were far from
alone in their misery.” mean?
A. Beautiful women always felt lonely.
B. Beautiful women were always alone.
C. Many beautiful women didn’t end up with a
happy life.
D. Beautiful women always lived a happy
life.
2.The
underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refers to “________”.
A. ordinary-looking
women
B. women called Jane
C. common
people
D. attractive women
3.We can
infer in the passage that_____________.
A. Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley
were a couple.
B. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were
very satisfied with their life.
C. when they fail in Hollywood, the
beautiful have little trouble in making a living.
D. the marriage of the beautiful often
lasts long.
4.Which
of the following is the best title?
A. Five Key Factors Affecting the
Partnership.
B. Beauties Are Doomed to Fail in
Love.
C. Beautiful Or Common?
D. The Beauties Are Different.
When it comes to romance（浪漫）, women prefer someone
who is humorous while men choose those who catch their eye, according to an international survey.
The survey, done in 16 countries by Canadian
romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises, asked men and women on six continents
about personality they liked or disliked and how they went about trying to meet
Mr. or Ms Right.
The survey showed differences between
countries in the way people tried to impress the opposite sex.
Australians and British men frequently
admitted drinking too much, while about half of German and Italian men said
they had lied about their finances. Spaniards(people in Spain) were the most
likely to use sex to catch someone’s attention.
Eighty percent of Brazilian and Mexican men
said they had lied about their marriage or romance as did 70 percent of German
women, the survey said.
When it came to meeting that special
someone, a majority of respondents(被告) preferred to rely on friends for introductions. The Internet was not a
popular hunting ground except in Portugal, where about half the surveyed men and
women would like to find people online.
There was a gap between the two sexes in Spain and France. Thirty percent of Spanish men, but no Spanish women, looked for love online. In France, 40 percent of men but only 10
percent of women attended parties, bars and clubs to meet someone, but they did
have one thing in common: both sexes regarded looks as more important than their
counterparts（相对应的人） in other countries.
When it came to that first meeting, a
majority of men surveyed said beauty was more important than brains, while
women put a sense of humor at the top of their list.
Physical attraction was the most important
for men in France, Brazil, Greece, Japan and Britain. And while 40 percent of
Portuguese men regarded intelligence over looks in a first meeting, no Australian men did
so.
In the United States and Canada, humor was considered the most important personality
by men and women, getting 63 and 73 percent of the vote respectively.
1.Appearance is the most
important for men in the following countries except in ___________.
A.
Britain B. Japan
C. France D. Spain
2.According
to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.
Portuguese enjoy looking for love online best.
B. Humor is
considered the most important personality by both Americans and
Australians.
C.
Brazilian and Mexican men like to lie about their finances.
D.
Few people preferred to rely on friends for introductions.
3.Which
is NOT mentioned as the standard of looking for love in the passage?
A.
Humor. B. Generosity. C. Beauty.
D. Intelligence.
4.The purpose of the writer is to
tell us _________________ when choosing the opposite sex.
A.
the differences between men and women in different counties
B.
women prefers humor while men prefers beauty
C.
not all men prefer beauty to brains
D.
love is more important than anything else
While researchers have long shown that tall
people earn more than their shorter counterparts, it's not only social
discrimination that accounts for this inequality -- tall people are just
smarter than their height-challenged peers, a new study finds.
"As early as age three -- before
schooling has had a chance to play a role -- and throughout childhood, taller
children perform significantly better on cognitive
tests," wrote Anne Case and Christina Paxson of Princeton University in a paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The findings were based primarily on two
British studies that followed children born in 1958 and 1970, respectively,
through adulthood and a U.S. study on height and occupational choice.
Other studies have pointed to low
self-esteem, better health that accompanies greater height, and social
discrimination as culprits(罪犯) for lower pay for shorter people.
But researchers Case and Paxson believe the
height advantage in the job world is more than just a question of image.
"As adults, taller individuals are more
likely to select into higher paying occupations that require more advanced
verbal and numerical skills and greater intelligence, for which they earn
handsome returns," they wrote.
For both men and women in the United States and the United Kingdom, a height advantage of four inches equated with a 10 percent
increase in wages on average.
But the researchers said the differences in
performance crop up long before the tall people enter the job force.
Prenatal care(产前护理) and the time between birth and the age of 3 are critical periods
for determining future cognitive ability and height.
"Prenatal care and prenatal nutrition
are just incredibly important, even more so than we already knew," Case said
in an interview.
Since the study's data only included
populations in the United Kingdom and the United States, the findings could not
be applied to other regions, Case said.
And how tall are the researchers?
They are both about 5 feet 8 inches tall,
well above the average height of 5 feet 4 inches for American women.
1.What can be learnt from the
study of Anne Case and Christina Paxson is that ______.
A. the reason for lower pay for shorter
people is social discrimination
B. taller children perform significantly
better on cognitive test
C. tall people earn more than shorter
counterparts
D. prenatal care and prenatal nutrition are
less important than we
already knew
2.Which
period is the most important for determining future cognitive ability and
height?
A. between age 3 and
schooling
B. between birth and the age of 3
C. the whole
childhood
D. between 1958 and 1970
3.The underlined phrase “crop up”
in the Eighth Paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. get in
B. rise up C. come
up D. stand up
4.The
best title for this passage would be _______.
A. Tall people earn more than shorter
counterparts
B. A study on height and occupational choice
C. The difference between tall people and
short people
D. Taller people are smarter

In a national spelling contest in America， an
11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 1voice
the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They
talked it over and 2decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now，the girl knew she had 3the

had said the 4letter. So she lost the contest.

Water and its importance to human life are
the center of the world’s attention. March 22 is World Water Day, which has the
theme “Water
and culture ”this year. Ther are more than one billion
people in the world who live without safe drinking water. The United Nations
hopes to cut this number in half by 2015.
Solving
such a big problem seems like an unreal challenge. But everyone, even
teenagers, can do something to help. A teenage girl in the U.S. has set an example to others of her age around the world. Rene Haggerty, 13, was
awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her work of collecting deserted
batteries which pollute water.
In
2003, Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio. There, she saw an exhibit about how chemicals in old batteries harm the water of Lake Erie. Haggerty learnt that recycling the batteries was an easy solution. “I think everybody can do
it, because everyone uses batteries, and it can make a big difference.”With these words, she began to increase awareness in her area.
She
talked to her county government and school board. She got permission to start a
recycling programme in schools as well as the public libraries, hospitals, and
churches. With the help from her family, friends and local waste-management
officials, she gathered containers, arranged transportation, and made an
educational video.
Over the past two years, she collected four
tons of batteries and drew the attention of officials, who were in charge of a
battery recycling programme but had made little progress. When asked if she
feels like a hero, Haggerty is quite modest. “Not really. Well, maybe for the fish I saved!”
Every
year the Gloria Barron Prize honors young Americans aged 8 to 18 who have shown
leadership and courage in serving the public and the planet. Each year ten
winners receive ＄2,000 each, to help with their education costs or their public
service work.

Dear
Michelle,
My
mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late,
and she curses(骂人).I love her but I am ashamed of her.I do not want to bring my
friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I
am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another
family that was normal,but it will be 5 years before I am 18 and legal. What am
I supposed to do until then?
Prisoner
of a Crazy House
Dear 7th
Grader,
I
am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feeings about her
may change as you get older and mature(成熟).
While
it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame,
the fact that you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very
smart. It shows that you are a winner,not a loser.
I
am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a
good thing, So,keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.
At
the same time,try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities.
Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.
Unfortunately,
you are not alone.Many teens live in homes with immature,misguided, selfish
parents. Those kids often feel lonely and separate from the rest of their
friends because of their parents’ terrible deeds.
But
they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school,and often find
a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!
Do
it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own fine
future.Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how
surprising you really are.
Best
luck!
Michelle

Manage your time well for each
module(单元),
but also make sure you get a good balance between work and social life. That is
vital for life in general.
Set aside time specifically for
each subject. Try to study one subject a day. You need to balance time. If you
are bad at balancing things, make a personal timetable. Even if you do not
stick to it, you will have an idea what you should be doing each day. This is
better than trying to do everything each day and, at the end of the week, not
achieve anything. Also, try to keep your weekends free of studying. Only study
at the weekend if you really have to.
I had to learn to balance work,
study and family when I was at college. I was a retail assistant working
part-time and had at least four modules to complete at the same time at
college. I also had to help around the house doing household cleaning and
shopping at times. I managed to finish my college work on time, which was very
difficult and hard, and still hold down a job.
Why was it possible? Because I
only thought about my part-time work when I was at work on the weekends and my
college work had to be done from Mondays to Fridays before the weekends. This
was hard—but
you need to set a timetable for yourself. It was an achievement when I finally
realized that things have to be done in order, and need to be organized as
well.
Balancing study and other
aspects(方面) of
your life can be a problem if you have a job or a family, but planning in
advance is helpful. Use the time you have well. Do not leave anything until the
last minute, as this will only cause problems.
