    Researchers in London and Bristol have found that men are particularly likely to yield to depression if their partners are also depressed.
    The finding highlights the importance of paying attention to the partners of depressed mothers, as young children themselves are vulnerable (容易受伤的) to social problems if both parents are depressed.
    Researchers in London and at the University of Bristol launched their study to investigate whether family structure affects the likelihood of depression in men around the time their child is born. They looked at men from traditional families, men with children from a previous relationship, men whose partners had children by a former partner, and men who were not living with their partners.
    All 7,108 participants filled out a questionnaire on depression, and answered questions about their age, education level and employment status. Details about the quality of their relationships with their partners, networks of friends and previous life events were also recorded.
    About 3.5 percent of the men and 13 percent of their partners suffered depression around the time their child was born. While men in stepfamilies or who were not living with their partners were twice as likely to get depressed as those in traditional families, this could be explained by other factors that are more common in nontraditional families, such as poor education and relationship conflicts.
    Even allowing for all these factors, however, the partners of women who were suffering from prenatal (围产期的) depression were significantly more likely to become depressed themselves, the researchers report in an American journal. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. For the healthy women, the figure was only 2.6 percent.
    Previous research suggests that families with two depressed parents may need special attention. A researcher in Atlanta has found that primary school children with two troubled parents have difficulty relating to their peers. “It’s extremely important to look at the whole family.” she says.
    【小题1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs of this passage?

    A．Men often beat their children.
    B．Depressed women often have depressed partners.
    C．All young children are vulnerable to social problems.
    D．Women with children often have depressed partners.
    【小题2】Why did researchers in London and Bristol carry out such an investigation?
    A．To see what kind of family environment is ideal for children to grow up in.
    B．To study whether family structure affects depression in men when their child is born.
    C．To investigate why so many men get depressed when a child is born.
    D．To see whether it is true that behind every depressed man there is a depressed woman.
    【小题3】What kind of men is least likely to get depressed when their child was born?
    A．Men in stepfamilies.
    B．Men who were not living with their partners.

    Below are some smart ways to stay healthy suggested by some American experts.

    Drink More Coffee
    When was the last time you heard a doctor use the word miracle? Well, wake up and smell the coffee: “It’s amazing,” says liver specialist Sanjiv Chopra, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Coffee is truly a lifesaving miracle drug.”
    Though he says it’s still a “scientific mystery” how a simple cup of coffee works its wonders in the body, large epidemiological studies have repeatedly proved its astonishing benefits.
    “Drink it black, or at most put a little skim milk in it” to minimize calories, Dr. Chopra recommends. He drinks at least four cups a day himself, though most people should limit themselves to two. And no, he jokes, “I’m not sponsored by Starbucks.”
    Take a Walk for Your Memory
    Aerobic (有氧运动的) exercise is good for your body, great for your mind, according to the latest research from brain-fitness pioneer Arthur Kramer. Every year, an area called the hippocampus, which is key to memory, shrinks by about 1 to 2 percent, increasing the risk of dementia (脑衰) as the years roll by. However, Kramer’s new investigations reveal that the hippocampi of adults who walked briskly for about 45 minutes three times a week grew by about 2 percent over the course of a year, preventing age-related shrinking.
    It’s never too late to start exercising, Kramer says; volunteers in his research were between 55 and 80 years old and hadn’t exercised at all. And it doesn’t need to be backbreaking. “Anything that raises your heart rate seems to work,” he says. “Walking is fine. Just find something you like and do it.”
    Early to Bed, Early to Eat
    “Being a night owl might increase your waistline,” says sleep expert Michael Breus, PhD. People who stay up late and sleep late tend to eat more fast food and consume more of their calories after 8 p.m. than do normal sleepers.
    “One of the easiest things that anyone on a diet can do to improve her results is go to bed and wake up at the same times every day,” Breus says. “This way, your body knows when to sleep and is much more efficient. Organize your eating, too, by trying to eat meals at the same times every day. Avoid eating after 8 p.m., and don’t miss morning meals by sleeping in.”
    Use the 20-Second Rule
    What’s the difference between having a goal and actually accomplishing it? Just 20 seconds, says positive-psychology specialist Shawn Achor. Researchers have learned that if we can cut 20 seconds off the startup time required for a task, we’re much more likely to follow through. So, for example, if you want to work out in the morning, place your shoes and exercise clothes next to your bed the night before. If you want to praise people more, put thank-you notes and a pen on your desk.
    Imagine the Worst to Feel Better
    Don’t count your blessings; subtract (扣除) them. “Consciously spend a few minutes imagining what your life would be like without the good things,” says Timothy Wilson, a psychologist at the University of Virginia. You’ll experience stronger feelings of love, gratitude, and happiness when you think about what life would be like without the people and things you love. “And they’ll seem surprising and special again,” he adds.
    【小题1】 According to Sanjiv Chopra, most people should not drink more than ______ cups of coffee a day.
    A．twoB．threeC．fourD．six
    【小题2】Which of the following may help people on a diet to improve their results?
    A．Raising their heart rate.B．Taking a walk for their memory.
    C．Eating at fixed times.D．Sleeping in every morning.
    【小题3】According to Shawn Achor, if people place their shoes and exercise clothes next to their bed at bedtime, they’re more likely to ______ the next morning.
    A．do exerciseB．set a goal
    C．cut 20 seconds offD．sleep 20 minutes more
    【小题4】 Why should people spend a little time imagining their life without good things?
    A．To experience surprise.B．To feel better.
    C．To consider their own blessings.D．To prepare for the worst.

    New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL -- Country of Origin Labeling(标签).
    American congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.
    Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are not included. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked foods.
    The same food may sometimes have to be labeled and other times not. Fresh or frozen peas, for example, have to be labeled but not canned peas. Foods that are mixed with other foods are also excluded. Mixed nuts, for example, do not need to be labeled. The same is true of a salad mix that contains different things like lettuce and carrots. Or a fruit cup that combines different fruits. Also, the law doesn’t include restaurants and other food service organizations. Department of Agriculture officials say the law is really meant for larger grocery stores.
    The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.
    Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙门菌病), officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.
    The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations(违反) that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1,000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.
    Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.
    【小题1】Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?

    A．It is economical and provides people with more choices.
    B．Foreign food is of higher quality than native food.
    C．Americans need more and more food recently.
    D．The United States is short of food supply.
    【小题2】Consumers are more concerned about where foods come from because________.
    A．they are curious about the origin of the food.
    B．most of them are particular about the tastes
    C．they are concerned about food safety
    D．most of them are food safety activists
    【小题3】The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect________.
    A．right now B．in a month C．in three months D．in half a year
    【小题4】Which of the following can be inferred from the text?
    A．Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.
    B．The government of America will possibly forbid importing peppers from Mexico.
    C．Federal inspectors couldn’t take measures to enforce the law.
    D．Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to the vegetables grown in local places.

    British researchers have found that children’s IQ predicts their probability of becoming vegetarians (素食者) as young adults.
    Recent studies suggest that vegetarianism may be associated with lower cholesterol (胆固醇), reduced risk of overweight and heart disease.
    “We know from other studies that brighter children tend to behave in a healthier fashion as adults—they’re less likely to smoke, less likely to be overweight，less likely to have high blood pressure and more likely to take exercise.” lead author Catharine Gale said, “This study provides further evidence that people  with a high IQ tend to have a healthier lifestyle.”
    In the study, Gale’s team collected data on nearly 8,200 men and women aged 30, whose IQ had been tested when they were 10 years of age.
    “Children who scored higher on IQ tests at age 10 were more likely than those who got lower scores to report that they were vegetarian at the age of 30.”Gale said. 
    The researchers found that 4.5 percent of participants were vegetarians. Of these, 2.5 percent were vegan, and 33.6 percent said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken.
    There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken，the researchers added.
    One expert said the findings weren’t the whole answer，however.
    “We don’t know the beliefs or attitudes of the parents of the children，nor do we know if there was a particular event that led these children to becoming vegetarian in their teens or adulthood.” said Lona Sandon, and assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
    【小题1】From the article，we know that ________.

    A．brighter children are likely to become vegetarians when they are ten.
    B．people with a higher IQ will not be overweight
    C．brighter children are likely to have a healthier lifestyle
    D．overweight may cause high blood pressure
    【小题2】What does the underlined word “vegan” in the sixth paragraph mean?
    A．Someone who only eats vegetables.
    B．Someone who chooses not to eat meat or fish.
    C．Someone who likes eating meat and fish.
    D．Someone who likes eating vegetables.
    【小题3】This study left some unanswered questions EXCEPT “________”．
    A．Did the vegetarian children grow up in a family with a vegetarian parent?
    B．Did the children eat a primarily vegetarian diet at the age of 10?
    C．Were meatless meals regularly served in the participants’ families?
    D．Did the vegetarian children really have a high IQ?
    【小题4】The main idea of the passage is that ________.
    A．the low IQ children will be unhealthier when they grow up
    B．being vegetarians can reduce the risk of overweight and heart disease
    C．IQ is important to vegetarians
    D．high IQ children are more likely to become vegetarian when they grow up

    Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
    The result: 10% fewer heart attacks, 8% fewer strokes, 4% fewer deaths, 11% fewer new cases of heart disease, and 240 billion dollars in health care savings.
    Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year.
    The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California, San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.
    Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium（钠）, which is how foods may list their salt content.
    The government says the average American man ears ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also rise. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.
    New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government interference.
    Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children’s Research Institute show that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children.
    【小题1】According to the passage, what disease is not related to salt in diet?

    A．Cancer.B．Stroke. C．Blood pressure.D．Heart attack.
    【小题2】It can be inferred from the passage that________.
    A．all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt
    B．the American Heart association suggest less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone
    C．how much salt is contained in certain food is measured by the amount of sodium
    D．the less salt one eats, the healthier he will be
    【小题3】The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to________.
    A．attract the public attention to the problem
    B．require fast food places to list salt information
    C．inform people of the harm that salt does to health
    D．put pressure on food companies and restaurants
    【小题4】The last paragraph mainly tells us________.
    A．Bloomberg has made some other efforts to improve people’s health
    B．Bloomberg is very successful in his career
    C．parents must pay great attention to calorie information
    D．a new study is being done about calorie information

    If you are having trouble falling asleep, you are in good company. About 65% of Americans said they have sleeping problems a few nights each week, according to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation. Sleeping too little can lead to a higher risk of becoming fat and getting depressed(沮丧的). But before you go to a doctor for advice, it is worth examining your sleeping habits one more time. Some of your favorite evening habits may have something to do with the sleeping problems.
    Setting a Bright Alarm Clock
    The light of your bright alarm clock can prevent you from falling asleep. You can make your room as dark as possible. Cover the bright numbers with a book or consider buying a small travel clock. Your cellphone alarm may also do the trick.
    Counting Sheep
    When you just can’t  fall asleep, it’s useless to stay in bed to count sheep. If you’ve been trying to fall asleep for more than 30 minutes, the National Sleep Foundation suggests you get up to do some reading or watch TV for a while. Such activities will make you sleepy. Before you know it, you’ll be going back to bed really tired.
    Exercising Late at Night?
    Daytime workouts(锻炼) will keep you full of energy for hours. That’s why you don’t want to exercise within three hours of hitting the sack. Fierce(剧烈的)  physical activity raise your body temperature and pumps your energy level—both are bad for a good night’s sleep.
    【小题1】What can we learn from the first sentence of the passage?

    A．It’s not good to fail to fall asleep at night.
    B．People in a good company often have sleeping problems.
    C．There are many people who have sleeping problems.
    D．You should find someone to talk to if you can’t fall asleep.
    【小题2】The underlined part “hitting the sack” in the last paragraph means “______”.
    A．going back homeB．going to bed
    C．going to the gymD．falling asleep
    【小题3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A．The bad results of getting too little sleep.
    B．Why the bright alarm clock keeps you awake.
    C．What to do if you can’t fall asleep after 30 minutes.
    D．Why watching TV and reading books make people sleepy.

    Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
    Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
    Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modem life.
    【小题1】We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

    A．depend on one sense in choosing food
    B． are not satisfied with their food
    C．choose food in similar ways
    D．eat entirely different food
    【小题2】Which of the following eats only one type of food?
    A．The white butterfly.B．The small bird.
    C．The bear.D．The fox.
    【小题3】Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
    A．the season changes
    B．the food color changes
    C．they move to different places
    D．they are attracted by different smells
    【小题4】We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
    A．food is chosen for a good reason
    B．French and British food is good
    C．some people have few choices of food
    D．some people care little about healthy diet

    There has been an outpouring of love for a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer(美容师) tried to trim(修剪) its claws.
    Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, “ I would like to buy her a new dog.”
    A story about the death of Crouch’s pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily. Crouch said a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
    Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that.” Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.
    “This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待),” Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said.
    People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue, in Roseville, said, “We have puppies to donate … and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.”
    “When Gooch was with me, I was happy,” Crouch said, “I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again.”
    【小题1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

    A．A disabled woman’s service dog.
    B．A cruel groomer killed a disabled woman’s dog.
    C．People’s love for a disabled woman who lost her dog.
    D．Disabled woman loves to have the dog as company.
    【小题2】 People called and emailed to             .
    A．offer help and care to Laurie Crouch.
    B．give their angry voice to the groomer.
    C．offer a cure for Crouch’s disease.
    D．tell Crouch how to punish the groomer.
    【小题3】We can infer from the passage that          .
    A．Crouch refused to take another dog.
    B．Crouch must be sad after losing her dog.
    C．Crouch has accepted another dog from a stranger.
    D．Crouch can live well without a dog’s company.
