19．Researchers recently find women likely face work environments that push against the"having it all"mentality，leading to feelings of guilt and depression．
Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health，according to a new study that finds that"supermoms"have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things（51）C．
The research，presented Aug.20at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas，finds that working is（52）A for mothers'mental health．But among working mothers，the least depressed are those who don't expect to （53）D work and family life perfectly，said study researcher Katrina Leupp，a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle．"The ideal that women can do it all actually（54）A the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family can be balanced，"Leupp told LiveScience．
Leupp analyzed survey（55）B from 1，600married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth．In 1987，the women answered questions to judge their support of women's （56）C，including whether they agreed with statements such as"Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children．"In 1992and 1994，the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression．Like earlier studies，the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression，perhaps because outside work gives women more（57）B interaction，more varied activities and a larger income，Leupp said．Among the employed women，though，the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least （58）A for women balancing career and family．The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression．"Somewhat（59）C，women who don't expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do，"Leupp said．
The study didn't explain why optimistic （樂(lè)觀的） views of balancing work and motherhood would（60）B later depression．"The reason may come down to（61）B and real-world work environments，"Leupp said．"Women who expect to have it all probably come up against（62）D that aren't designed with work-life balance in mind．When they can't balance everything perfectly，these supermoms are more likely to feel（63）D．"
"I think this research really speaks to a（64）A between women's expectations and the actual structure of the workplace，"Leupp said．"The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing （65）D and employment and not to blame themselves if they struggle．Recognize that if it feels difficult，it's because it is difficult．"

18．Since the day of its birth，the United Nations has been the subject of much debate．（36）
F Others think that it is too weak．We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U．N．a(chǎn)nd its history．
The U．N．was started for two reasons．First，when the idea was born，people all over the world were tired of war．They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the world's problems．（37）G
The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes．（38）
E National borders were beginning to lose their meaning．Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future．Only an international organization would be able to control modern science．
Franklin D．Roosevelt，U．S．President at the time，believed that the Allies （聯(lián)盟） should plan for peace before the war ended．On December 1，1943，Roosevelt，Britain's Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace．（39）D
During the next year and a half，the idea of such an organisation was debated around the world．Then came the big day．On April 11，1945，the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco．The goal of the meeting was to write the U．N．Charter （憲章）．All of the fifty-one nations at the meeting had their own ideas to offer for the Charter．（40）B Every nation present voted for the Charter．No one voted against it．

A．The U．N．Charter is a beautiful piece of writing．
B．After a long debate，a final Charter was agreed upon．
C．Even the smallest country on earth can have its voice heard．
D．They asked all countries，large and small，to join the organization．
E．These weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself．
F．Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful．
G．They also felt that only an international organization could keep world peace．

15．For many environmentalists，the world seems to be getting worse．They have developed a it-list of our main fears：natural resources are running out； the population（31）is growing（grow），leaving less and less to eat?species are becoming（32）extinct（extinction） in vast numbers，and the planet's air and water are becoming dirty，（33）whichare ever more polluted．
（34）Buta quick look at the facts shows a different picture．First，energy and other natural resources have become more abundant not less so．Second，（35）morefood is now at any time in history．Third，although species are indeed becoming extinct，only about 0.7% of them are expected（36）to disappear（disappear） in the next 50years，not 25～50%，as has so often been predicted．And finally，most forms of environmental pollution（37）eitherappear to have been predicted，or are too short-associated（38）withthe early stages of industrialization．（39）Abigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it．yet opinion polls suggest that many people develop the （40）belief（believer）that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction．
