12、ew up in India in the first half of the twentieth century, seeing many people around her who did not get enough food, were often sick and died young.In the 1960s, she was asked to help manage a program to improve nutrition in her country. At that time, most advice on nutrition came from North Americ

13、an and European countries. Nutritionists suggested foods that were common and worked well for people who lived in these nations.For example, they told poor Indian women to eat more meat and eggs and drink more orange juice. But Lakshmi knew this advice was useless in a country such as India. People

14、there didnt eat such foods. They werent easy to find. And for the poor, such foods were too expensive.Lakshmi knew that for the program to work, it had to fit Indian culture. So she decided to adjust the nutrition program. She first found out what healthy middle class people in India ate. She took n

15、ote of the nutrients (营养物）available in those foods. Then she looked for cheap, easy-to-find foods that would provide the same nutrients.She created a balanced diet of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains. These foods were cheap and could be cooked with simple equipment. Her ideas were though

16、t unusual in the 1960s. For example, she insisted that a diet without meat could provide all major nutrients. Now we know she was right. But it took her continuous efforts to get others to finally accept her diet about 50 years ago. Because of Lakshmis program, Indian children almost doubled their f

17、ood intake. And many children who would have been hungry and ill grew healthy and strong.14. Why did Lakshmi think European nutritionists, advice was useless?A.

20、scientist. C Zebra crossings - the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface - are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at SwedensLund Uni

21、versity revealed that three out of four drivers maintained the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse? Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across.Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way to getdrivers to

22、pay more attention - a 3-D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉) . Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the citys

23、residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of3-D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion of logs(原木) of wood on the streets in Taizhou, China, decided to test if a similar way would work in India. Sure enough, in the six

24、 months that the 3-D crosswalks have been painted across four of the citys most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case

25、. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world. So lets l

Teaching resources, teachers skill, and curriculum - these all play a vital role in a childs education. But what about

30、 the physical condition and design of the actual school facility itself? How do they shape a childs learning experience?Todays busy parents may never know. With most of them working, parents generally find little time to experience, much less evaluate, the physical condition of their childs school.

31、When they do visit, often during parent-teachers night, discussions will mostly focus on their childs learning, achievement, and progress, not on school maintenance(维修) or design issues. There are few opportunities for parents to observe a classroom or school during the school day. But it is just du

32、ring this time that a significant number of students and teachers struggle with such things as noise, glare, mildew（霉）, lack of fresh air, and hot or cold temperatures.News about these environmental nuisances is beginning to appear more and more in the media.

39、actually possible to measure an average amount? 27 Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country. The economists then tallied up the results and divided them by the total number across the world. The result was a worl

40、d average wage equivalent to $1,490 a month. 28 This figure might seem very high because they calculated the amount using purchasing power parity dollars, which takes into account the fact that it is cheaper to live in some countries than others. 29 . Calculating an average sum like this might not b
