The cause of the death was not known yet. Allen had been staying in hospital in recent months as she suffered from a blood infection, along with breathing troubles and kidney failure.In London, Guinness World Records spokesman Damian Field said on Wednesday that Allen was still listed as the tallest woman. She had an operation in 1977 to stop further growth. But shewas proud of her height, Rose said. "She embraced it," she said. " She used it as a tool to educate people. "Allen appeared on television shows and spoke to church and school groups to bring her message to young people that it was all right to be different.After Allen was listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the world' s tallest woman, she won a role in Federico Fellni' s 1976 film Casanova, appearing as Angelina the Giantess.

The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on an evidence that a " positive emotion style" can help protect us from the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective - as in happiness improving immune function - and subjective - as in happy people being less troubled by a sore throat or runny nose. "People with a positive emotional style may have different immune response to the virus," explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. "And when they do get a cold, they may interpret their illness as being less severe.Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less likely to catch cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality traits, self - perceived health, and emotional "style". Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy - going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense, and hostile had a negative style.The researcher gave them nasal drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, sneezing or congestion ( 充血) they had, while the researchers collected objective data. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal troubles, happy people were less likely to develop a cold.40. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Stay Away from Being NegativeB. Positive or Negative. It's up to you.C. An Effective Medicine for being FitD. Warm People Likely to Keep Cold Away41. According to Dr Cohen' s research, the reason why some people are unlikely to catch a cold is that .A.their cheerful mood benefits the immune systemB.they have developed a certain gene against flu virusC.they are less likely to have a sore throat and runny noseD. they have got a stronger self - confidence in their health42. The passage is probably written for ___________ .A. medical studentsB. lead authersC. the publicD. the volunteers43. The research is done by __________ .A. getting volunteers in one emotional group and analyzing themB. conducting a medical experiment on volunteers of different emotional stylesC. collecting and analyzing volunteers' objective nasal production dataD. having volunteers answer questions on personality, health and emotionsCMicrosoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his fortune, largely to the cause of global health, during the course of his lifetime. With an estimated worth of more than $ 40 million, according to Forbes, the project will be no small fate for Gates. Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues, Grates said that finally his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except "a few percentleft for the kids".So what has made the richest man in the world channel his resources so heavily into one interest? Gates believes that " the equality of opportunity" in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the populations, he says, has proved to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful. "National borders allow inequalities" , said Gates, "We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well. We have to step up these health issues, knowing how few resources are going into them. "Gates said that both his parents set up an example for him as a child. His father, William H. Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way. As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would finally want to give back as well, but he didn' t expect to devote himself whole - heartedly to one project until he was about 60.However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long. "It seemed that there was a real time urgency," Gates said. " I started to think how many lives I could save before then. "44. Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to ___________ .A.Improve the health of population in America aloneB.Improve the health of population all over the worldC.Avoid leaving his children too much moneyD. Spare the American government the burden of health care45. Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is _____________ .A.To set up more foundations for themB.To help them with natural resourcesC.To put more efforts into the health issues in themD. To help them take a more global view46. It can be learned from the passage that Bill Gates thinks ______________ .A.Americans should care about people in other countriesB.Americans should treat fellow citizens wellC.Americans should devote themselves to certain projectsD. Americans can be world - famous by giving away vast fortune47. Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of_________.A. his weakening health conditionB. his parents' suggestionC .his great success in businessD.his concerns for suffering peopleDKids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores (杂事) ,or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, you' ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, ortake out the trash. Rather than saying "Do your chores now. " , you' 11 be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, "If chores aren' t done by 4 pm, here are the consequences. " Then it's up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don - t argue or fight with them, just say," That's the way it' s going to be. " It shouldn' t be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive. "If your chores aren't done by 4 pm, then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that's going to be your loss. " On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your kids say they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you' re trying to talk to him,make no bones about it; he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At thatpoint, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don'ttry to communicate with him when he' s wearing headphones ? even if he tells you hecan hear you. Wearing them while you' re talking to him is a sign of disrespect.Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respectbecomes more important as children mature.48. According to the passage, it seldom happens that ______________ .A.kids turn a deaf ear to their parents' requestsB.parents' directions sound like a broken recordC.children are ready to follow their parents' directionsD.parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids49 . Parents will be able to deal with their children more effectively if they _______________ .A.avoid direct ways of punishmentB.make them do things at their requestC.argue and fight with their childrenD.allow their children to behave in their own way50. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A.parents should take off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their childB.it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parentsC.parents shouldn' t give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respectD.kids' purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control51. The main idea of the passage is __________ .A.that respecting each other is more important than anything elseB.how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parentsC.that children should make choices and decisions on their ownD.how parents can deal with their kids' behavior effectivelyEEnjoy the sumptuous Easter lunch buffet and children will be given the lovely Easter chocolate eggs.Time: Mar, 28 - Mar, 30 11:00 am-3:00 pm Place; lucky cornercoffee shop (hotel first floor) Price: 150 + 15% service chargeHalf price for children under 12 years old.Reservations: Sciteeh Hotel 65123388 - 2114 or 2164Bring your family and friends along to the Palace Hotel this Easter and enjoy the traditional treats of the season.
