22、 they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said last week. A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.9kg) less over a one-year

23、period than those who did not change their television diet. “The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(兒科專家) at Stanford University. “American children sp

24、end an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinson said. In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the

25、researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, e

26、ven though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise. “One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in

27、 front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.51. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that _.A. children will get fatter if they eat too muchB. children will get thinner if they eat lessC. childr

28、en will get fatter if they spend less time watching TVD. children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV52.

31、e watching TV. D. Both A and B.B Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age-73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years. When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school

32、, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didnt think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of

33、 nine children instead of going to college. Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again. She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick a

34、s she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around classes to keep from getting stiff(不靈活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.56. M

38、 to the bank to borrow money. A. a c b e d B. b e c a d C. b c e d a D. e d a c b C Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually

39、think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often see what they really value in life. He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You migh

40、t have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn

41、t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it. Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his

42、 book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I dont Know much. All I am is rich. People just have an idea of making more and more money, b

43、ut what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give

44、happiness may be missing the meaning of life.60.

47、fessor of philosophy want to explain in his book? A. Money is an end. B. Money is a means. C. Money is everything. D. Money is unimportant. DThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a womans

48、 life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother w

49、ould have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live ano

50、ther thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement(退休) at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in womens life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. E

51、ven a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually mar

52、ry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in
