Breastfeeding (母乳喂养) for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman's risk of getting diabetes (糖病) later in life, according to a new study. The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz. Yet, her study makes the link easier to believe. Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America. Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices. They evaluated data on 2,233 women from California. Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed. They were 40 to 78 years old.
According to Schwarz's study, the risk of getting a diagnosis (诊断) of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.
While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better. (80) “Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.
The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat. Mothers, who don't breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off weight. “Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.
The finding isn't surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory. She often gives advice to women who get diabetes (occurring during pregnancy (怀孕)) that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed. The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the-advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding. She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.

2).
The most famous collections of fairy tales (童话) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition(版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.
But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.
The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood” a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck(啄) out their eyes.
Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?
One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.
But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.
6. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?
A. To deal with readers’ complaints.
B. To improve his financial situation.
C. At the request of his publisher.
D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.
7. When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT .
A. adding character judgments

B. Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with the challenges life brings to them.
C. A large number of the tales made it to the modem age.
D. They are less violent than the children’s stories being written today.

A. History of fairy tales.
B. Ways to preserve the oral tradition.
C. The Grimms’ fairy tales.
D. Violence in fairy tales.

As the school year kicks off, parents are once again straggling to cajole(哄编) and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. Teenagers who don’t get enough rest have more learning, health, behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease, overweight, depression and a shortened life span in adults, indicating the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in life. Lack of sleep can be especially deadly for teens; car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.
Unfortunately, few teenagers get the sleep they need. In a survey of middle- and high-school students, University of Colorado researchers found that 82 percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed, and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.
Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep, The body’s internal clock, which controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting as early as 7:15 am. To get to school on time, most teens have to get up by 6:30 am, guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up, making it even harder to fall asleep on Sunday night and wake up Monday morning. Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.
Since the 1990s, middle and high schools in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times. The results have been encouraging: more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most schools still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.

The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.
And yet, city life isn't easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs (损害) our basic mental processes. After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.
One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.
This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we're crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of Strangers. In recent years, it's become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.
This research is also leading some scientists to dabble (涉足) in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain. (79) The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life. The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.
16. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A. The city inspires talented people.
B. The city hurts your brain.
C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.
D. The city seriously affects the natural balance.
17. The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.

B. nature
C. city
D. stress
18. People have just come to realize that_______.
A. human attention is a scarce resource
B. city life can make people very tired
C. the city is an engine of intellectual life
D. an urban environment is damaging to the brain
19. What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recover more quickly?
A. Nature.
B. Better treatment.
C. Experienced doctors.
D. Good medicine.
20. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Different aspects (方面) of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to an increase in self-control.
B. Small changes in urban design, cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.
C. For the first time in history, the earth's population is more urban than rural.
D. A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.

Coffee
is a powerful drink. On a personal level, it helps keep us awake and active. On
a much general level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape
our culture.
Coffee
plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by travelling tribes
(部落）for thousands of years, but
it wasn’t until the 1400s that people figured out they could roast its seeds.
“Then it really took off,” said
historian Mark Pendergrast—author of Uncommon Grounds: the History of Coffee
and How It Transformed Our World. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to
coffeehouses across the Arab world within another 150 years, it took Europe by
storm. “It actually had a major impact on the rise of business,” Pendergrast
says. Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.
The
insurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000
coffeehouses. Literature, newspapers and even the works of great composers like
Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.
It is
often said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists (殖民者）attacked British tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into the
harbor, Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee. “There’s a lot
of truth to the story, I found,” Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter John
Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which the Founding Father declares his
love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead, because
drinking tea had become unpatriotic (不爱国的).
For all
the upsides coffee has brought the modem world, it also brought its fair share
of downsides, too. Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various
parts of the world, and this frequently meant they made people into slaves in
order to grow it.
21. According to the passage，which of the following has nothing to do with coffee?
A. Literature.
B. Newspapers.
C. The insurance industry.
D. The oil industry.
22. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. The Boston Tea Party took place in 1773.
B. Europeans figured out ways to use coffee during the 1670s.
C. During the 1770s, more and more Americans began to drink coffee.
D. Coffee is a refreshing drink.
23. The author of the book believes that__________.
A. drinking coffee was unpatriotic
B. 2000 insurance companies were set up hundreds of years ago
C. Europeans were responsible for the existence of slavery
D. coffee actually influenced the rise of business
24. The phrase “took off” in the second paragraph means “_________”.
A. dropped to the ground
B. became very successful
C. removed its coat
D. went away suddenly
25. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?
A. When Coffee Became Popular
B. Coffee Is a Powerful Drink

When we’re learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn’t know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it’s an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill that’s as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.
Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the same initial (最初的) skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given detailed instruction on how to listen. It mined out that the second group “significantly outperformed”(胜过) the first one on a test of comprehension.
So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get out of it. They set a goal for their listening and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “listen out for” what’s important or relevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don’t allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don’t understand and make inferences about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the context (语境) of the talk,, the identity of the speaker, and so on.
26. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears.
B. Developing your listening skills is the first step toward developing fluency.
C. Skilled listeners use specific strategies to get the most out of what they hear.
D. Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information.
27. What does Vandergrift’s research show?
A. Learners who adopt specific listening strategies become better listeners.
B. Learners taught in the traditional way are better at reinforcing what they learn.
C. Learners are more confident if they make fewer mistakes.
D. Learners who listen on a regular basis improve faster.
28. Which of the following statements about Vandergrift’s research is TRUE?
A. The participants were postgraduates learning French as a second language.
B. All the participants were taught using the conventional method, with the focus on listening strategies.
C. The two groups were taught by different teachers.
D. The participants were at the same initial skill level.
29. The expression “thrown off” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to“_____”.
A. infected
B. confused
C. ruined
D. informed
30. According to the passage, which of the following strategies is NOT used by skilled learners?
A. Review their prior knowledge of the subject.
B. Concentrate on the speaker’s words.
C. Translate into their native language.
D. Predict what the speaker will say.

The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often falls to -30°F and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic(北极)is home.
Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt (融化). Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the world's 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.
Polar bears can't survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seal's breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to return.
With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs(大片浮冰), and they can't always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cabs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.
Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bears International. The group aims to save the bears and their home. "The more people who see polar bears and understand their difficult situation, the better the chance we'll alter our warming path in time to save them," he says.
31. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Climate Change in the Arctic
B. How to Protect the Environment
C. The Arctic Is Home to Polar Bears
D. Polar Bears in Danger
32. Where do polar bears usually hunt seals?

34. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into villages, where they may be killed either for food or safety.
B. Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts completely.
C. Two-thirds of the world's polar bears may disappear by 2050 as global warming continues.
D. The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers.
35. What's the mission of Polar Bears International?
A. Saving energy.
B. Conducting scientific research.
C. Seeking international cooperation.
D. Saving polar bears and their home.

For 20 months the wrecked Costa Concordia has been lying on its side near the coast of Giglio，a small Italian island. But on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage（打捞）operation ever conducted，the large ship was finally moved to the upright position. The next step is for the vessel to be removed from the area entirely.
The Costa Concordia is twice the weight of the Titanic. The ship itself didn’t budge（稍微移动）for the first three hours of the operation, Sergio Girotto told reporters. He and other engineers worked for 19 hours before Concordia was declared completely upright.
The Costa Concordia capsized on January 13, 2012，after its captain, Francesco Schettino，brought the ship too close to the shore. The ship hit coastal rocks, which caused serious damage and allowed water to pour in. Most of the 4,200 people on board made it to land safely, but more than 30 people were killed in the disaster. Two people remain missing. The Concordia’s captain is currently on trial for causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.
The operation to right the ship is called parbuckling. While parbuckling is a standard operation to right capsized ships，it has never before been used on such a large ship. Workers had been waiting for favorable weather conditions to undertake the operation. On Monday，authorities gave the final go-ahead.
The process was expected to take no more than 12 hours. But problems with the large system of steel chains caused delays. Engineers worked through the night using cables and metal water tanks to roll the ship onto special platforms.
The Concordia is expected to be pulled away from Giglio in the spring of 2014 and turned into scrap metal (废金属). The ship’s owner, Costa Cruises, will pay for the recovery, which has already cost more than $800 million.

D. setting fire
39. According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Costa Concordia is three times the weight of the Titanic.
B. Engineers in Italy have successfully righted the wrecked Concordia after an operation that lasted around 12 hours.
C. The salvage operation went ahead despite bad weather conditions.
D. As a common means of righting wrecked ships, parbuckling had never been carried out on a vessel of the Concordia’s size.
40. What will happen to the Concordia eventually?
A. It will be pulled away to be broken up for scrap metal.
B. It will be repaired and put into use again.
C. It will be turned into a museum for tourists.
D. It will be sunk to the ocean floor.

Another sad scene, seldom noticed by ordinary zoo visitors, is the 5 flying trials of swans (天鹅) at migration (迁徙) time. These creatures, like most other water birds, are generally made unable to fly by the operation of cutting off a tip of the wing bone. 6 such swans in the zoo generally seem happy under proper care and they raise their young without any trouble, at migration time things become 7 . The birds never really realize that they can no longer fly, and repeatedly swim to the 8 of the pond so that they can have the whole extent of its surface when trying to take off against the wind.

I learned this 3 I was standing on a curb (路边) in a city in Vietnam (越南).

The street was 7 with motor cycles, bicycles, cars, trucks and buses. Rather than 8 the traffic into two lanes，the yellow lane markers apparently served only to 9 that you were on a paved (铺设的) road. People passed, stopped, turned around and crossed center lines.
Traffic flowed both ways in the same lane, and more traffic turned onto the street from side ones. Even when the signal tight turned red, traffic continued to flow as drivers entirely 10 the signal, rushing to me from front, back, sides and all angles.
