Put things back where you found them. Clean up

25、your own mess. Dont take things that arent yours. Say youre sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life.

33、ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in the northern German town of Rostock found the month of birth was related to life expec

34、tancy over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy, and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new -born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age. “A mother giving birth in spring after a 40 w

35、eek pregnancy spends the last phase of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer,” said Gabriele Doblhammer, one of a team of scientists who carried out the research. “When she stops breast - feeding and starts giving her baby normal food, its in the hot weeks of summer

36、 when babies are prone to infections of the digestive system.” In Austria, adults born in autumn (October-December) lived about seven months longer than those born in spring (April-June), and in Denmark adults with birthdays in autumn outlived those born in spring by about four months. In the southe

37、rn hemisphere, the picture was similar. Adults born in the Australian autumnthe European springlived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data. Although nutrition

38、at all times of the year has improved since then, the seasonal pattern persists, Doblhammer said.61The passage is mainly about .Afood and healthBinfections and healthCnutrition and lifespanDbirth season and lifespan62The underlined word “outlived” in Paragraph 3 could be replaced by .AcomparedBsurvi

41、aryDNovemberCThe health care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the special roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor patient relationship. In most areas of the economy, it is the seller

42、who attempts to attract a potential buyer, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, however, does not exist in most of the health care industry.In the health care industry, the doctor patient relationship is different from the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer. O

43、nce an individual has chosen to see a physician, it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should “return next Wednesday”, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare patient who will challenge such profession

44、al decisions, especially when the disease is regarded as serious.This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must provide evidence for the need for hospitalization, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of these deci

45、sions, but in the main it is the doctors judgments that are final. No wonder that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer”. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usual

46、ly there are in this situation four participants the hospital, the physician, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) the physician makes the essential for all of them. We estimate that about 75 80 percent of health care expenses are determined by physicians, not pa

47、tients. For this reason, economy (节约) directed at patients or the general are ineffective.66The authors primary purpose is to .Acriticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients.Banalyze some important economic factors in health-care.Curge hospitals to change their decision-making auth

48、ority.Dinform potential patients of their health-care rights.67Doctors are able to determine hospital policies because .Ait is doctors who bring in income for the hospitalBit is doctors who arm with professional skillsCa doctor is responsible for a patients healthDa doctor is in charge of a patients

49、 hospital care68According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to “return next Wednesday”, the doctor is in effect .Ainstructing the patient to buy more medical services.Breminding the patient of the exact time to come again.Cadvising the patient to seek a second opinion.Dadmitting that the

50、initial visit was ineffective.69The author is most probably preparing for .Aa proposal to control medical costs.Ba discussion of a new medical treatment.Can analysis of the cause of the doctor patient conflicts.Da study of cases against doctors for neglecting their duty.70The author is likely to agr

51、ee that .Apatients tend to object to the course of the treatment prescribed by a doctorBa seriously sick patient is less likely to object to the course of treatment prescribedCthe payer is less likely to pay when the patients illness is seriousDpatients would dislike the physicians decisions when th

52、e diseases are seriousDTERESOPOLIS, Brazil Brazil coach Dunga has poured scorn (蔑视) on the suggestion that his team lack a so called “number nine.”The number is traditionally worn by the out and out striker in Brazilian football and, at national team level, has belonged to Ronaldo for the best part

53、of the last decade.Ronaldo, hit by a loss of form and injuries, has not been picked since last years World Cup and Dunga has struggled to find a replacement. The coach, however, said he was not worried.“We have this fixation about the number nine,” Dunga told reporters on Thursday, three days before

54、 his team face Colombia in their first match of the 2010 World Cup qualifying competition.“If we put a number 20 on the field and he started scoring lots of goals, it would cause confusion.”“When I played for Brazil, Romario was the marksman but he wore number 11. so I suppose today he would be out

55、of the team.”Adriano would have been Ronaldos obvious substitute until recently but has suffered a dramatic loss of form in the last year while Fred, the other leading candidate, has a long term injury.In their absence, Dunga has shared the strikers role between Vagner Love and Afonso, the former ma

56、naging three goals in 17 games and the latter one in seven.The coach said it was important for all the players to share goals.“In modern football, everyone has to score, its up to whoever is in the penalty area, ” he said.“If you cross the halfway line, you become a forward and you have to know how

57、to play the ball and have an eye for goal.”“The more players who score goals, the better.”71In Dungas eyes, .Awho wears the number nine football shirt is not importantBwhoever wears number nine should score more goalsCnumber nine should belong to Ronaldo onlyDnumber nine is causing confusion72Ronald

61、s not unusual for families of different backgrounds to live together in shared space. However, in the United States, this idea may still be considered odd.But this type of housing, called co housing, is gaining popularity in the United States, too. Co housing complexes are popping up across the coun

62、try. For many people, this way of life is a relief to the busy modern lifestyle. A co housing community (社区) has privately owned houses and shared land. There is often a “common house” with a kitchen and dining room, meeting room, and maybe a workshop or library or music room. About 25 co housing co

63、mmunities have been built in recent years, and 150 more are planned.In co housing complexes, everyone helps take care of children and elderly residents. Its also a place where residents shop, cook, and eat together. Residents of co housing complexes like its sense of shared community. Children have

64、other kids to play with, which many families like. Other residents like the feeling of living in a village”. residents also say that they can live in co housing for less money than they would pay for nearby apartments.Some people may think that co housing might be like a 1960s “hippie” commune. But

65、after they learn about it, . This is because privacy is still important to residents. They have individual houses, not one big house, as old style communes did. Although they share the responsibilities of the community, each family still lives its own life. Will this trend catch on? It probably will

66、 never become the most popular form of housing in the United States, but for many, its the answer to many of the problems of a busy modern life.76Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
