She finished her studies in psychology in 1942. After college she attended the University of California at Berkeley to continue her studies.Later, she moved to New York City and worked as a reporter and editor for labor union newspapers.In 1947, Betty married Carl Friedan. They had a child, the first of three. When Betty Friedan became pregnant for the second time, she was dismissed from her job at the newspaper. After that she worked as an independent reporter for magazines. But her editors often rejected her attempts to write about subjects outside the traditional interests of women.In 1966, Betty Friedan helped found NOW, the National Organization for Women. She served as its first president. She led campaigns to end unfair treatment of women seeking jobs. She wanted women to take part in social and political change. Betty Friedan led a huge demonstration(游行) in New York City for women’s rights. Demonstrations were also held in other cities.In 1981, Betty Friedan wrote a book called “The Second Stage”about the condition of the women’s movement. Friedan wrote that the time for huge demonstrations and other such events had passed. She urged the movement to try to increase its influence on American political life. Some younger members of the movement criticized her as too conservative.Betty Friedan died on February 4, 2006. She was considered the mother of modern women’s liberation movement. Betty Friedan once told a television reporter how she wanted to be remembered: “She helps make women feel better about being women.”56.

Betty thought it better to be a womanD. the television reporter knew Betty wellBA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for g irls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usu ally like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression -- eating or mood changes -- and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.60. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.61. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.62. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disinterested.C. Scared.D. Disapproving.63. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Paren ts should forbid their children’s love.C. Romance is a two - edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.CNew research shows that overweight or even mildly obese people have a lower risk of early death than people considered to be normal weight.Researchers examined the results of 97 studies. Most of the studies were less than 10 years old. They included almost three million adults from around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, Brazil, India and Mexico.The researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics found that people who are considered overweight or slightly obese were five to six percent less likely to die from all causes than people of normal weight. People with higher obesity ratings, however, had almost a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to normal-weight individuals.Katherine Flegal was the lead author of the study. She says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher risk of death.“Because we’d actually alre ady read a lot of this literature and realized it was likely that mortality rates (死亡率) for overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight. I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower. And I was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity also didn’t seem to differ from normal weight.”But she says the difference in death rates appears to be small between normal-weight people and those who are overweight or mildly obese.The study has raised new questions about “body mass index,”（体重指数）or BMI. This is a measurement of body fat as a ratio（比率）of height to weight. In recent years, many public health experts have promoted body mass index as a way to predict the risk of health problems. But a person's BMI can be misleading in some cases.Steven Heymsfield ,the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, says people can be physically fit and in good health, but might weigh more because they are more muscular.Still, Dr. Heymsfield says people should not think gaining extra weight is OK just because of the new findings. He says being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease and diabetes（糖尿病）.64．According to the new findings, the researchers found that __________ .A.People with high obesity have a lower risk of early death than people withlow obesityB.People with overweight have a greater risk of early death than people ofnormal weight.C.People with mild obesity are less likely to die than people of normal weight.D.People with obesity live much longer than people of normal weight. 65．Wha t does the underlined word “literature” in paragraph 6 mean ?A.works like novels and poemsB.books and articles on a particular subjectC.printed materialD.magazines and newspapers66. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. BMI is commonly used to measure body fat as a ratio of height to weight.B. Not all people with a little higher BMI are fat .C. Many public health experts encourage more people to use BMI as a way topredict the risk of health problemD. Because of the new findings, people should think about gaining extra weight.DMichael froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying that a man had been murdered by a bullet that had come from the sky.
