你应该学会煮饭的四个原因
When clients ask nutritionist Joy McCarthy for one easy diet change, her answer is always the same: Start cooking your own food.
当客户向营养师Joy McCarthy咨询改变饮食的简单方法时，她的答案总是一样的：自己烹煮。
"It's completely transforming," says McCarthy, author of "Joyous Health: Eat and Live Well Without Dieting." "I often tell people, 'Do you want to feel better? Do you want to have more energy?' Because great health starts in the kitchen."
“这是完全变革性的，”《快乐健康：不需节食便可享受品质饮食与生活》该书作者McCarthy说，“我经常告诉人们，‘你想要感觉更好吗？你想要更加充满活力吗？’保持健康是从厨房开始的。”
Trust me: As a frequent restaurant patron, I feel your pain. But nearly every nutritionist I've spoken to has echoed McCarthy's sentiment. 相信我：作为餐馆常客，我能够体会让你自己煮饭的痛苦。但是我接触过的几乎每一位营养学家都同意McCarthy的观点。
Celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder launched into a long list of reasons.
明星营养师Kimberly Snyder列出了应该自己煮饭的诸多理由。
Here are the four big ones:
下面是最重要的四个原因：
You'll make better choices
你将有更好的选择
Vegetables look much more appetizing when you're standing in the middle of the farmer's market than when you're staring at a fast-food menu. Instead of being led by hunger -- and glossy hamburger photos -- you'll choose more often what's best for your body.
与盯着餐馆菜单看相比，站在农贸市场看蔬菜，会更有有食欲。不受饥饿感控制，也不受诱人的汉堡照片吸引，你将更经常选择对身体最好的食品。"That step of picking up your own food will cut out more and more processed foods," Snyder says.
“自己选择的食物会越来越多地剔除掉加工食品。”
And healthier choices at the grocery store lead to healthier meals at home.
而且，在杂货店的选择越健康，在家中的饮食就越健康。
People who cooked meals at home at least six days a week consumed fewer calories than those who frequently ate out, a study published recently in the journal Public Health Nutrition found.
每周至少六次在家煮饭的人比经常外出就餐的人摄入更少的卡路里，《公共健康营养》期刊最近发表的一项研究表示。
"When people cook most of their meals at home, they consume fewer carbohydrates, less sugar and less fat than those who cook less or not at all," study author Julia Wolfson told the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future.
“与很少煮饭或者从来不煮饭的人相比，大部分时候在家煮饭的人摄入的碳水化合物，糖和脂肪更少。”研究的首席作者告诉约翰?霍普金斯未来宜居中心。
You'll eliminate the guessing game
不再胡乱猜忌
Unless you're BFFs with the chef, you probably have no idea what's actually in that restaurant meal you're eating.
除非你是厨师“永远的最好的朋友”，否则你可能根本不知道你在餐馆吃的饭菜中到底有什么。
Do they use olive oil or vegetable oil to cook the meat? Is there added sugar in the sauce? What about food coloring? Is the spinach organic or covered in pesticides? How much salt is in that soup?
他们炒肉用的是橄榄油还是植物油？沙司中的糖是否过量？是否添加了食品染色剂？菠菜是有机的还是含有杀虫剂？汤里有多少盐？
Cooking at home eliminates the guesswork. It also eliminates the chance that your food will contain an allergen or ingredient that could make you sick.
而在家中烹煮就避免了这些猜测，还消除了食物中含有过敏原或致病成分的可能性。
Think about it this way, McCarthy says: You're not going to go to a gas station that doesn't label its pumps, and put diesel into a car that takes premium gasoline. "But humans do that all the time. We put the wrong fuel in all the time."
McCarthy说：“你可以这样想：你不会去没有给油管贴标签的加油站，给烧优质汽油的汽车加柴油。”但是人类经常这样做。我们总是会加入错误的燃料。”
You'll eat more mindfully
你会更加注意饮食
Eating has become just another chore on many people's to-do lists, Snyder says. "Get your shoes shined, pick up the dry cleaning, order food."
Snyder说，饮食已经成为许多人待办事项中又一个要务。就如“擦鞋，拿干洗衣物，点餐。”
Cooking opens your eyes to not just what's in your food but also how you eat it. After all, who makes a six-layer lasagna from scratch and then eats it while zoned out in front of the TV?
烹煮不仅让你更清楚地了解食物的成分，还让你注重吃的方式。毕竟，谁会从头开始费尽心思制作一份六层宽面条，然后在电视机前漫不经心地享用呢？
Eating mindfully means you savor each bite and recognize when you're full -- both of which aid digestion, Snyder says. Sitting down to regular meals with friends or family can also help improve your relationships.
注意饮食意味着认真品尝每一口，能够意识到自己吃饱了，这两点都有助消化。经常和家人朋友坐在一起吃饭也能促进你们之间的关系。
"Cooking brings you back to a nurturing home space. It creates an environment that's supportive and helps you fight stress," Snyder says.
“烹煮能让你回归培养亲情的家庭空间。可以为你创建一个环境来支持你并且帮你减压。”Snyder说。
You'll find it's easier than you think
你会发现比想象的更简单
"If you can read, you can cook," McCarthy says. "I don't think you need talent because there are so many amazing cookbooks out there." McCarthy 说：“只要认字，你就会做饭。我不认为做饭需要天赋，因为市面上有许多简单易学的食谱。”
Start simply -- with a breakfast smoothie or one dinner a week. Then build up your repertoire. Though you may dream of mimicking your favorite "Top Chef" techniques, grilling a few chicken breasts and steaming broccoli is fast and nutritious.
从最简单的开始——可以是早餐奶昔或一周一次晚餐。然后循序渐进，不断
累积。或许你梦想模仿你最喜欢的《顶级厨师》的技巧，然而烧烤几块鸡胸肉，蒸一些西兰花也是非常快速营养的食谱。
"The simplest foods are the healthiest," Snyder says.
“最简单的食物是最健康的。”Snyder说。
甜品的4大益处
1. Desserts are packed with nutrients.
甜品富含营养
There’s a reason why your body craves certain delicious desserts. Low carb diets often overlook the fact that carbohydrates are an essential nutrient for the body. While desserts may not be the healthiest form of carbohydrates, the right indulgences can fuel your body and mind. 这就是你的身体渴望美味甜品的原因。低碳水化合物饮食常常忽略一个事实:碳水化合物是人体必不可少的营养素。而甜点可能不是最健康的碳水化合物形式,但却是能给身体和心灵能量的放纵剂。
2. Desserts make you happier…no, really!
甜品会让你觉得更开心
Have you ever taken a bite of your favorite dessert and felt instantly transported to a higher level of happiness? That feeling is real. 你曾经有没有吃一口你最喜欢的食物就能马上觉得更开心？那种感觉是真实的。
Indulging in your favorite dessert alters your mind and body in positive ways. Take full advantage of this scientific process by allowing yourself to enjoy your favorite sweet treat without that extra side of guilt. You really are doing something good for your body! 吃你喜欢的甜点能从积极地方面改变你的心灵和身体。不内疚的让自己好好享受甜点，好好利用这一科学的过程。你做的真的是一件对你身体有益的事情。
3. Eating dessert can actually improve your weight control.
甜食能帮助减肥
When the average adult quits eating desserts all together, they may see improvement in their short term fitness goals.
一般拒绝吃甜食的人也许在短期内能完成减肥目标。
However, studies have shown that adults who indulge in dessert but eat an otherwise nutritious diet have a greater chance of producing long term success in weight loss.
但是研究表明喜欢吃甜食的人，也摄入其他营养饮食的人更有可能在减肥方
面有长期的成功。
4. Desserts can remedy the negative side effects of dieting.
甜点可以补救节食带来的负面影响。
Ever wonder why they serve jello or chocolate pudding to hospital patients? When patients lose their appetite due to illness, it is easier to consume sugary, low-nutrient carbohydrates than any other type of food.
有没有想过医院给病人提供果冻和巧克力？当病人因为疾病没有食欲的时候，糖，低营养的碳水化合物则比其他种类的食物更易于消化。
And besides making you happier, desserts can also sometimes make you healthier.
此外甜食会让你更快乐，甜食有时候也能让你更健康。

CEO加薪：真的有理由吗？
Apple AAPL -0.35% CEO Tim Cook’s pay doubled and HP HPQ -0.42% CEO Meg Whitman’s increased by over 1,000% between 2013 and 2014. But the salaries of Starbuck’s SBUX 0.56% Howard Schultz, along with Viacom’s Philippe Dauman and Disney’s Bob Iger all took a dive, by up to a half. Do any of these changes have to do with these executives’performance? Signs point to no, not entirely.
2013-2014年，苹果公司CEO蒂姆?库克的工资翻了一番，惠普CEO梅格?惠特曼的薪酬增长了十倍以上；而星巴克CEO霍华德?舒尔茨、维亚康姆CEO菲利普?
多曼和迪士尼CEO鲍勃?艾格的工资均大幅下降，最多的甚至降了一半。这些
变化一定和CEO的业绩有关系吗？事实表明，并不一定。
Cook’s pay rose from $4.2 million to $9.2 million in 2014, giving him a bump of 117%. Much of the pay hike came from a $4 million boost to the CEO’s annual bonus. An increase in the cost of Cook’s personal security, from nothing to almost $700,000, also played a part.
2014年，库克的工资从420万美元增至920万美元，增幅高达117%，主要原因
是其年度奖金提高了400万美元，另一原因是他的个人安保费用从零增至近70万美元。
But these figures merely represent the rise in Cook’s “reported pay,”which is what a company gives as a total figure in its latest proxy statement. There are other ways to look at compensation. It has not
been reported, for example, that Cook actually earned over $154 million last year, largely made up of the vesting of some of the restricted Apple stock he owns. This kind of compensation is commonly called realized pay, it’s equivalent to W-9 pay. Cook’s realized pay increased by 109% between 2013 and 2014. What’s more, Cook is sitting on half a billion dollars worth of restricted stock, so his big paydays are far from over.
但上述信息仅代表库克的“已披露收入”，即公司在最新股东委托书中给出的CEO薪酬。我们还可以从其他途径来了解高管薪酬。举例来说，去年库克的实际收入超过1.54亿美元，主要来自出售部分苹果公司限售股，该收入就从未被披露过。这种通常被称为“已实现收入”的薪酬其实相当于W-9个税申报表里填写的收入。2013-2014年，库克的已实现收入增长了109%。此外，库克还坐拥价值5亿美元的限售股。也就是说，他的高收入期还远未结束。
Cook was certainly not the only CEO to see a substantial pay hike in 2014. Hewlett-Packard’s Meg Whitman also saw both her reported pay and realized pay increase in 2014. Whitman’s compensation shifted from her initial hiring package to a more regular one. Her salary went up from $1 to just over $1.5 million, her restricted stock awards doubled, the value of her stock options halved, and approximately $4 million shifted from a stock award into a cash bonus. Whitman’s reported pay rose by just over 11%. Her realized pay, however, went up by a staggering 1,300%. While much of this was driven by increases in cash pay (salary and bonus), Whitman vested in $12.5 million worth of HP stock in 2014 compared to $800,000 in the prior year. HP’s performance, however, has not been as unequivocally positive as Apple’s. Its stock was volatile in 2013, but settled in to a steady rise for most of 2014. But the company’s revenue and net income – the elements that most commonly drive reported pay – fell in 2014.
2014年收入猛增的CEO当然不止库克一人。惠普首席执行官梅格?惠特曼的申报收入和已实现收入同样双双上升。惠特曼的酬劳种类已从最初的聘用薪资标准变成了正常薪资标准。她的工资从1美元增至150多万美元，她拿到的限售股增加了一倍，股票期权价值下降了一半，还有大约400万美元的股票奖励变成了现金分红。惠特曼的申报收入增幅仅略高于11%，但已实现收入增幅高达1300%，着实可观。尽管该数字的增长主要来自现金收入（工资和奖金），但惠特曼在2014年收获了价值1250万美元的惠普股票，远高于上年的80万。
然而就公司表现来说，惠普并不如苹果那样稳健。2013年惠普的股价起伏不定，2014年开始才总体稳步上升。但2014年惠普的收入和净利润双双下跌，而这才是影响申报收入的最主要因素。
Not everyone had a major pay day in 2014. Howard Schultz, Starbucks’CEO, realized $58 million in restricted stock and option profits in 2014, down from $139 million in 2013. Some of what Schultz earned in stock was made up of performance-restricted shares, though these are only based on two-year earnings per share and return on invested capital (ROIC) goals; hardly long-term. His annual bonus increased because it’s based on revenue and operating income, both of which increased in 2014. On the other hand, Starbucks’ stock price faltered in 2014, despite the increases in revenue and operating profit. Since the end of the year, however, the news of that improved operational performance pushed the company’s stock past its former high of $81 in 2013 to around $94 today.
并不是所有人都在2014年拿到了高额报酬。星巴克CEO霍华德?舒尔茨靠限售股和期权实现了5800万美元的收入，远低于2013年的1.39亿美元。舒尔茨的部分股票酬劳和公司业绩挂钩，但这些股票仅以两年期的每股收益和投入资本回报率为衡量标准，很难算得上长期指标。他的年度奖金增多是因为公司的收入和营业利润这两项奖金指标在2014年都实现了增长。另一方面，尽管星巴克的营收和营业利润有所提高，但2014年该公司在股市上表现较差。不过自2014年底开始，经营情况好转的消息使其股价从2013年81美元的高点升至目前的94美元。。
You could see the fuzzy connection between CEO pay and performance at Viacom as well. CEO Philippe Dauman, saw his realized pay fall by 38% while his reported pay rose by almost 20%. The values of Dauman’s bonus, stock, and option awards all went up in 2014. In contrast, Dauman realized over $111 million in stock awards in the prior year, compared to around $58 million in 2014. The link between pay and performance is also not clear. Viacom saw a steady rise in its stock price in 2013, but prices fell in the latter half of 2014. That might explain the difference in stock values, but the company’s revenues – the figure that you might expect to influence reported pay – also fell. Viacom’s chairman, Sumner Redstone, saw his W-9 pay go in the opposite direction to Dauman’s, since he received over $100 million in stock
in 2014, compared to $17.4 million in 2013.
在维亚康姆，似乎看不到CEO的薪酬和工作表现有明确关联。首席执行官菲利普?多曼的已实现收入下降了38%，但申报收入几乎增长了20%。2014年，多曼的奖金、股票和期权价值都有上升。但相反，2013年他的股票酬劳超过1.11亿美元，2014年却为5800万美元左右。薪酬和股价的之间的关系也不清楚。2013年维亚康姆的股价稳步上行，2014年下半年则处于滑坡状态。这也许可以解释多曼股票酬劳的变化，但该公司的营收也出现了下降，而在人们看来，营收业绩应该会影响到多曼的申报收入。和多曼相反，该公司董事长萨姆纳?雷德斯通在个税报表里填写的收入有所增加，原因是2014年雷德斯通的股票报酬超过1亿美元，远高于2013年的1740万美元。
Like Dauman, Disney’s DIS -1.03% CEO Robert Iger saw reported pay and realized pay move in opposite directions. Iger received $41 million in stock compensation in 2014 but $72 million in 2013, leading to a decrease of 21%. Iger’s reported pay, meanwhile, increased by over 35% between 2013 and 2014, driven by a bonus that climbed by almost 10 million. The pay bump is a little easier to explain. Disney’s stock price has risen consistently since the end of 2011, and 2014 saw increases in both revenue and operating profit.
和多曼一样，迪士尼CEO鲍勃?艾格的申报收入和已实现收入也出现了一升一降的情况。2014年，艾格的股票酬劳从上年的7200万美元降至4100万美元，下跌了21%。由于这两年间艾格的奖金增加了近1000万美元，因此其申报收入却增长了35%以上。而艾格的收入起伏并不难理解：2011年底以来，迪士尼的股价持续上行，而且2014年的营收和运营利润也都实现了增长
有钱让人更聪明？
Having rich parents doesn’t just buy an expensive education and exciting holidays abroad.
父母有钱不仅可以让你接受贵族教育，让你出国度假。
It may also purchase more brainpower.
还能给你带来更高的智力。
A study found the children from wealthy families have bigger brains than their poorer counterparts.
一项研究发现，来自有钱家庭的孩子的大脑比贫困的同龄孩子的更大。
Brain regions key to academic success were particularly large, the journal Nature Neuroscience reports.
《自然神经科学》杂志报道称，与学术成就有关的脑区特别大。
Interestingly, the study also revealed that money matters more than parental background when it comes to nourishing the young mind.
有趣的是，研究还发现，在培养孩子的智力方面，金钱比父母的背景更重要。In one of the first studies of its kind, the US researchers put more than 1,000 healthy children and teenagers through brain scanners and quizzed their parents on their background and income.
在首批类似的研究中，美国研究人员对超过1000名健康儿童和青少年的大脑
进行了扫描，并调查了他们父母的背景和收入水平。
The youngsters, who were between three and 20 years old, also did tests of memory and something called executive function.
这些3至20岁的年轻人还进行了记忆测试和执行机能测试。
This term covers the mental skills that are used to weigh up options, prioritise, multi-task and plan ahead.
执行机能指的是用来衡量选择，优先次序，多重任务和提前计划的心智能力。Children with poor executive function may struggle to memorise information and be more likely to get into fights.
执行机能较差的孩子记忆力比较弱，易打架斗殴。
Analysis showed important brain areas to be bigger in children whose parents had been to university than those whose education had finished when they left school.
分析显示，父母接受了大学教育的孩子的重要脑区比父母离开学校后就结束
教育的孩子脑区更大。
However, parental income was even more important.
然而，父母的收入更加重要。
Brain areas key to language and executive function were bigger in children from wealthier families.
来自有钱家庭的孩子的语言和执行机能相关的脑区更大。
These youngsters also did better in the mental tests.
这些孩子在智力测试中表现也更好。
Researcher Dr Elizabeth Sowell, of the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, said: ‘Our data suggest that wider access to resources likely afforded by the more affluent may lead to differences in a child’s brain structure.
洛杉矶儿童医院研究人员Elizabeth Sowell医生表示：“我们的数据显示，
富裕家庭可能有能力让孩子接触到更广阔的资源，从而导致儿童大脑结构产
生差异。”
‘Access to higher-quality childcare, more cognitively stimulating materials in the home and opportunities for learning outside the home likely account for some of these effects.’
“造成这些影响的可能原因是有钱人家的孩子接受更优质的儿童保育，在家中接触到更多刺激认知的物质，在外面也有更多学习机会。”
She said that growing up in a household that is free of the stress of struggling to make ends meet is also likely to foster brain development.
她说，在没有生活压力的家庭成长也可以促进大脑发育。
The link between income and brain structure were particularly noticeable among the most deprived children, with small differences in salary having a relatively big effect on the brain.
在家庭经济状况最为窘迫的儿童中间，收入和大脑结构之间的联系更为显著，较小的收入差异就会对大脑产生相对更大的影响。
It is thought this is because a slight increase in income makes a bigger difference to living conditions to someone on a low wage than to someone who is already well provided for.
据信这是因为在低收入阶层，薪水的轻微增加就会对生活条件产生更大的影响。而对那些原本生活条件优越的人则不会产生如此大的影响。Researcher Dr Kimberley Noble, of Columbia University in New York, said that despite the clear impact of socio-economic status on the young mind, it would be wrong to think that the changes are fixed.
纽约哥伦比亚大学研究人员Kimberley Noble博士表示，尽管社会经济状况对年轻人智力的影响非常明显，但是也不能认为这是一成不变的。
She said: ‘This is the critical point. The brain is the product of both genetics and experience and experience is particularly powerful in moulding brain development in childhood.
她说：“这是关键点。大脑是基因和经历的综合产物。在儿童大脑发育期间，经历的影响更大。”
‘This suggests that interventions to improve socioeconomic circumstance, family life and/or educational opportunity can make a vast difference.’
“这表明，通过干预手段来提高社会经济状况，家庭生活和教育机会可以有效改善孩子的智力。”
MONEY DECIDES HOW FAR YOU LIVE FROM YOUR PARENTS
金钱决定你住得离父母多远
Richer people live further away from their parents than those on modest wages, a study in December 2014 claimed.
2014年12月份一项研究发现，与收入微薄的人相比，有钱人住得离父母更远。The report found workers earning less than ￡25,000 ($37,000) live within 31 miles (50km) of their family, but this distance grows the wealthier people become.
这份报告发现，收入少于2.5万英镑（3.7万美元）的人距离自己的家人31英里（50千米）以内，但是越有钱，这个距离越远。
Britons who earn ￡35,000 to ￡45,000 ($52,000 to $67,000) live 42 miles (68km) away while those earning more than ￡55,000 ($81,000) live 47 miles (76km) away.
收入3.5万英镑至4.5万英镑（5.2万美元至6.7万美元）的英国人住在家人42英里（68千米）以外，收入超过5.5万英镑（8.1万美元）的人住在47英里（78千米）以外。
Annuities firm Partnership said this was because high-earning professionals were more likely to have moved away from where they grew up to secure a lucrative career.
年金保险公司Partnership表示，这是因为，高收入的专业人员更有可能搬离他们长大的环境去追求高薪职业。
The study also found people in their 50s live closest to their ageing parents, but later move farther away to be near their own children and grandchildren.
研究还发现，50多岁的人离年老的父母更近，但是随后就会搬到更远的地方，离自己的子女或孙子更近一点。
While people in their 40s lived 37 miles (60km) away, on average, this reduced to 33 miles (53km) as people reached their early 50s.
40多岁的人平均离家37英里（60千米），到50多岁的时候该距离就会缩短至33英里（53千米）

Motion sickness The upchuck wagon How not to feel queasy in a self-driving motor car EXPECTATIONS are high, among those boosting the idea of self-driving cars, that people will be able to do other things, such as reading, working on a laptop or having a nap, when riding in such a vehicle. But for many that is an unlikely prospect. Apart from those who have no intention of even getting into an autonomous car, which currently amounts to some 23% of Americans, another 36% would be willing to ride but would not take their eyes off the road, according to a study published in 2014 by the University of Michigan. Some of those people will be looking out of the window because it helps to avoid nausea, dizziness and vomiting, particularly if they are among the 5-10% of the population who regularly experience the unpleasant symptoms of motion sickness.

Unit 1 Watching video SCRIPT Narrator: The cheetah. With an astonishing ability to sprint from zero to eighty kilometers per hour in just three seconds, it’s the fastest animal on land. At full speed, it can reach almost 100 kilometers per hour. Nothing can escape a cheetah at full sprint. Unfortunately, this beautiful, shy animal is in serious danger of becoming extinct. In order to help, National Geographic is sending a team into the Moremi Wildlife Reserve of Botswana. Their goal is to help save these magnificent creatures by capturing them on film. The city of Johannesburg, South Africa, is the final stop befor e the team’s journey into the wilds of Africa. Heading the expedition is Chris Johns, a photographer for more than 25 years. Chris has been planning this trip for a long time, and accompanying him is guide Dave Hamman. Dave has lived in southern Africa most of his life and knows the region well. His knowledge will be useful as the two men head more than 800 kilometers north into Botswana and the wonderful Okavango Delta. The Moremi Reserve is a truly magical place. It seems that Africa’s entire animal king dom resides in the region. Zebras, buffaloes, and elephants are easily viewed from the rough dirt road. Even a giraffe makes an appearance. Chris and Dave continue their drive into the evening. They need to be far into the wilderness to begin their task: finding cheetahs. Narrator: The next day, they’re up early to begin their search. Chris Johns, National Geographic Photographer: “You can’t just drive out there and order up a cheetah. It doesn’t happen like that. You know that it could take days, weeks.” Narrator: But then something incredibly unexpected occurs . . . Dave Hamman: “I don’t believe this.” Narrator: It’s a female and five of her young. Hamman: “This is just not normal.” Narrator: During all of his years in the bush, Dave has never located so many cheetahs this quickly. This is exactly what they had been hoping for. The discovery is especially promising for Chris. Johns: “Cheetahs are a metaphor for some of Africa’s conservation problems. Because cheetahs need range, and they’re a good wa y to explain to people that loss of habitat means the potential loss of species. And it’s possible that in my lifetime cheetahs could become extinct in the wild, and that’s —to me —a tragedy that’s unspeakable.” Narrator: The Moremi Wildlife Reserve has offered Chris one of the last windows into the natural world of the cheetah. It will take a while for the cheetahs to trust Chris, but if he succeeds, he knows he’ll be able to take the photographs he really wants: a shot of a cheetah pursuing and k illing its prey, or a “kill sequence.” Johns: “We know there are certain things that a cheetah story has to have. One of the most important things it has to have—which is an incredibly difficult thing to get—is a kill sequence, and you’re always looking for that picture.” Narrator: Cheetahs are capable of tremendous bursts of speed, and have the capacity to gain speed more quickly than a sports car.

It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding, as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as for as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident. 71. We can infer from the passage that________ A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats B) People in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats C) People in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats D) Modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living 72. What is said about the blocks of flats built in the past in Britain ? A) They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much. B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families. C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed. D) They provided playground for children on the top of the buildings 73. The word “rage”(Line 10) means “______” A) be ignored B) develop with great force C) encourage people greatly D) be in fashion 74. Some people oppose the building of flats because________ A) the living expenses for each individual family are higher B) it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses C) they believe people like to live in houses with gardens D) the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats 75.The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses________ A) do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city B) have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work C) take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community
Iron and the Effects of Exercise Sports medicine experts have observed for years that endurance athletes, particularly females, frequently have iron deficiencies. Now a new study by a team of Purdue University researchers suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women. "We found that women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss," says Roseanne M. Lyle, associate professor at Purdue. Her study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three times a week for six months was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. "Women who consumed additional meat or took iron supplements were able to bounce back," she notes. "But the new exercisers who followed their normal diet showed a decrease in iron levels." Iron deficiency is very common among women in general, affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45, respectively. But the ratio is even greater among active women, affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes. This means, Lyle says, that "too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in";. Women of child-bearing age are at greatest risk, since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss. Plus, many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat, which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron. And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight, they may not consume enough iron-rich food, and are liable to experience a deficiency. "The average woman takes in only two thirds of the recommended daily allowance for iron," notes another expert. "For a woman who already has a poor iron status, any additional iron loss from exercise may be enough to tip her over the edge into a more serious deficiency," notes the expert. Exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms. Some iron is lost in sweat, and, for unknown reasons, intense endurance exercise is sometimes associated with bleeding of the digestive system. Athletes in high-impact sports such as running may also lose iron through a phenomenon where small blood vessels in the feet leak blood. There are three stages of iron deficiency. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. Fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear in the second stage of deficiency, when not enough iron is present to form the molecules of blood protein that transport oxygen to the working muscles. In the third and final stage, people often feel weak, tired, and out of breath — and exercise performance is severely compromised. "People think that if they're not at the third stage, nothing is wrong, but that's not true," says John L. Beard, who helped design the Purdue study. "You're not stage 3 until your iron reserves go to zero, and if you wait until that point, you're in trouble." However, most people with low iron reserves don't know they have a deficiency, because traditional methods of calculating the amount of iron in blood (by checking levels of the blood protein that transports oxygen) are not sufficient, Beard states. Instead, it's important to check levels of a different compound, which indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. While active, child-bearing age women are most likely to have low iron stores, he notes, "Men are not safe, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity." (An estimated 15 percent of male long distance runners have low iron stores.) Beard and other experts say it's advisable for people in these groups to have a yearly blood test to
