40、e passage you have just read.(A)The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, which means Double Income No Kids.In man

41、y major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3,000,000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay abou

42、t $900 a month. What more, if they want to have a child, the child edsucation is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5,000 a year. In such a situation, it s difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working increases because they e

43、njoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both pare

44、nts have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children and keeping their jobs. In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.74. What is the main problem being discuss

45、ed in the passage?A. The small number of newborn babies.B. The changing social situation of women.C. The high prices of houses and education.D. The necessary steps of Asian government.75.

47、eved that Asian governments should .A. let women stay at home and have a babyB. allow one of the parents to go out to workC. care for the growing needs of women for jobsD. punish the companies that permit women to leave(B)The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet

48、, vegetable diet Weare surrounded by the word ”diet everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physic

49、ally.Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go

50、 straight for the scale instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word" diet " in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don ' have t

51、o work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm

52、 our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and

53、the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much bette

54、r able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.78. From Paragraph 1, we learn that .A. diet products fail to bring out people' s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people ar

55、e fed up with diet products79. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to .A. try out a variety of diet foodsB.hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habits D. watch their weight rather than their diet80. In Paragraph 3,“ gain comes without pa

56、in " probably meansA. losing weight is effortlessB.it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD.diet products are free from calories81. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products .A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. p

57、rovide too much energy(C)When it comes to health, the poor are doubly cursed. Not only are they more prone to deadly infectious diseases than the rich, but they have far less access to the means of improvement. Twenty years ago, Paul Farmer, an American doctor and anthropologist, set out to do something about this. Amid the political turmoil and poverty of rural Haiti, he created a community-based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health. It not only delivers appropriate, affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people, but goes beyond the clinic to a
