Regular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not in itself undermine （削弱） healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants（幼兒）, according to a long-term national study．The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week．

Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothers, however, the mother-care relationship may be damaged．" This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail," contends （主張） Jay Belsky, a psychologist at Pennsylvania State University．Belsky and several of his colleagues announced their findings last week at the international conference．

The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston．The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7．Experimenters gave questionnaires to mothers in their homes and videotaped baby caretaker’s interacting with the kids at ages 1, 6, and 15 months．Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness．Unlike most previous studies, this one allows researchers to observe each caretaker’s personality at child nursing, and kid’s emotional reaction by the equipment．After taking family factors into consideration, other psychologists state that the researchers found no relation between the quality of child care and infant’s response．But the experimenters contend that the boys who spent more than 30 hours per week in child care exhibited more emotion for their mothers than other boys who didn’t, and the girls who spent the same hours per week in child care showed a modest （適度的） rise in this emotion．Therefore, quality of child care outside home plays an important role in the connection between mothers and infants．

55．From the first paragraph we know that _____．

     A．mother care is the best according to a national study

     B．child care outside home is the best in accordance with the study

     C．regular child care outside home may play a role as a mother

     D．connections between mothers and infants are damaged by outside care

56．According to the passage, unresponsive care from a mother may _____．

     A．ruin a kid’s growth                             B．harm the mother-child tie

     C．injure a baby’s emotional reaction             D．spoil child’s personality

57．Jay Belsky implies that the study of child care _____．

     A．was not much done in detail in the past

     B．was never carried out in the past

     C．was greatly ignored by psychologists and researchers

     D．was interesting, but very difficult to make discovery

58．The main difference between the investigation and the previous ones is that _____．

     A．the researchers started with only one month old infants

     B．the researchers could rate the quality of child care efforts and analyzed them soon

     C．the researchers were able to give the questionnaires to mothers in their homes

     D．video equipment enabled researchers to observe what was happening directly

59．The girls who received the same hours of child care outside home as the boys show _____．

     A．more emotion for their mothers                 

       B．less emotion for their mothers

     C．a(chǎn) modest rise in mental development

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted（認為……理所當然）. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition (營養(yǎng)) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat.

To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount．That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal．
After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't．
“We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council．“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from．”
Study participants（參與者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake．
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years．
“We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization．“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically（理論上地）possible．”
“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ” Susan Jebb said．“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change．”
【小題1】Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?

A．Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day．
B．Do proper exercise in the morning every day．
C．Drinking alcohol in the proper amount every day．
D．Having a cigarette before going to bed every day．
【小題2】We can learn from the passage that            ．
A．Susan Jebb did not take part in the study．
B．the study observed people as well as tested specific changes．
C．there's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits．
D．only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors．
【小題3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits．
B．People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom．
C．Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits．
D．People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good．
【小題4】What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 Years
B．How to Live a Much Healthier Life
C．How to Make Your Life Longer Than Others
D．Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 Years

Ticket tax fuels Indian cinema strike
Cinemas in Mumbai, Bollywood’s homeland are striking against high taxes on ticket sales.
Owners of Mumbai’s single-screen theatres will keep their shutters (百葉窗) down until Friday to protest about taxes, which they say are driving them out of business.
More than a third of single-screen cinemas in the state of Maharashtra have closed down in the last five years. According to the Cinema and Exhibitors Association of India, just 700 are still in operation. The association blames the closing down on Maharashtra’s high rate of entertainment tax. Its president, R V Vidhani, says that cinemas must pay a tax for every ticket sold, which is 45%, and this makes it hard to break even. It’s the highest of all states across India. The majority of the states in India pay zero entertainment tax. Mr Vidhani says his members had decided to go ahead with a one-week closure after getting no response from the state government on the matter.
It is not just a high tax rate contributing to the shrinking（收縮）number of traditional cinemas, however. Large costs and declining box office takings also make times tougher.
Mr Vidhani has run the New Excelsior Theatre in South Mumbai since 1974. Last week a screening of Bollywood movie Tanu Weds Manu sold just 71 tickets despite a capacity of more than 1,000. Whether it’s a full house or an empty screening, running costs are more or less the same. “Air conditioning, regular business — every expenditure (支出) is the same, but the income has stopped.”
The cricket (板球) World Cup is not helping matters, according to Mr Vidhani. “The World Cup is creating the biggest problem,” he says. “These people are crazy so far as the cricket is concerned. When India is playing, occupancy in the theatre is just 15%.”
Mumbai’s city centre is dotted with empty cinemas.
So after remaining empty for six years, the Novelty theatre is perhaps more fortunate than its neighbours: it is to be reborn as a four-screen multiplex cinema.
Over the last decade the number of multiplexes in India has risen sharply. Despite higher ticket prices, with more choice on offer and typically newer facilities they pose fierce competition to the traditional single-screen theatres.
“Competition from the multiplexes is really tough,” Mr Vidhani says. “Then there is competition from the movie window being narrow. Movies are being released much quicker on television than they used to be so people can pretty much watch movies for free at home.
“With rising incomes, everyone’s going out and buying DVD players or VCD players. Content is available for the asking whether it is official or pirated(盜版).”
Unless single-screen theatres can become special destinations in their own right, while also offering up-to-date facilities, Jehil Thakkar thinks the decline is a trend that will continue, especially as multiplex cinemas spread to smaller towns.
“They are large corporate chains,” he says. “They have the ability to spend money on branding and advertising, so to a large extent the small cinema guys are fighting a losing battle.”
