Caroline Solomon was on her high school’s swim team. But at times she could not go into the creek(溪流) near her home. It was simply too polluted. “I decided I wanted to do something about it,” she recalls. So she studied environmental science and public policy at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Later, she went to graduate school. Some of her classes could be challenging, though, since she couldn’t hear her teachers. “I’ve been deaf since I was 15 months old,” Solomon notes. Today she teaches biology at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. She has no trouble communicating with her students. They, too, are primarily deaf or hard of hearing. That’s why all classes at Gallaudet are taught in American Sign Language. Solomon also has an active life outside the classroom. She especially enjoys hiking, biking and other activities with her family. Her research takes her to the Anacostia River. “It is very close to Gallaudet, and I easily bring my students there,” she says. Water running through local forests and marshes drains into this river. So does water running off urban streets, golf courses and industrial sites. “The river’s watershed（集水区）kind of concentrates all the things that happen when humans mess with the natural landscape,” she explains. Not surprisingly, this river has developed a reputation for being quite polluted. Solomon has been focusing on how pollutants affect tiny organisms that form the base of the river’s food web. “I am now looking at the bacteria population,” she says, “to see what types there are.” Solomon wants to see more students who are deaf or have other disabilities make a difference in environmental science and other fields. As she often says, “If I can do it, you can do it.” 【小题1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Solomon’s home. B. Solomon’s school. C. The polluted creek. D. The local environment. 【小题2】What made Solomon study environmental science? A. Her teacher’s influence. B. Her physical conditions. C. Her teenage experiences. D. Her love for swimming. 【小题3】What does Solomon think of disabled students? A. They should be encouraged to live actively. B. They can make contributions if they want to. C. They should be treated differently by others. D. They can be a burden if they are dependent. 【小题4】In which column can you find this passage? A. Environment. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Culture |

Dealing with obesity is difficult. A lot of factors such as ethnicity, genetics, lifestyle, and personal habits should be considered in the management of obesity. Obesity, if not properly managed, can lead to a lot of health problems that may later evolve into life-threatening diseases. The management of obesity mostly focuses on lifestyle changes. Reaching your healthy weight involves proper management of your diet and exercise. The obese person may seek the help of a dietitian or a personal trainer. There are a lot of diets that have gained popularity. However, it is best that you consult your dietitian on what is best for you. Furthermore, your dietitian would consider your food preferences. If you are a little low in the budget, take into consideration the current dietary recommendations that were based on the food pyramid. This is researchable on the Internet. You can use this as a guide on how much you are supposed to eat. Exercise has a lot of benefits. It burns those extra calories and prevents different health problems from occurring.

“You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.” That line comes from American writer Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mockingbird. Now compare her words to another famous expression: “Blood is thicker than water”. However, if forced to choose which is more important, American researchers now say friendship is more important than family. Their new study suggests that friends may be more important than family members, especially as we age. The study comes from researchers at Michigan State University. They found the importance of friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older. William Chopik is an assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State and was one of the lead researchers in this study. He says, “Friendship becomes even more important as we age. Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being.” Chopik notes that we need to think of friendship as an investment in our future happiness. The Michigan State researchers considered information from two separate surveys. In the first group, both family and friendships influenced overall health and happiness. However, in the second, researchers said that friendships “became a stronger predictor of health and happiness” as people get older. Also in the second group, unhealthy friendships led to increased chronic conditions. But with supportive friends, Chopik noted, participants reported being happier. One reason is that people can keep the friendships that make them feel good and move on from the ones that don’t. Family, on the other hand, will always be with you. They can be helpful and enjoyable, but can also cause troubles. This may be good news for people who don’t have strong ties with family members. Not all of us are born into the families we need. But we all have the ability to choose friends that we need. 【小题1】【小题1】What should we invest to get later well-being according to the researchers? A. Good friend ties. B. Easy health exercises. C. Common family relations. D. Personal relation knowledge. 【小题2】【小题2】How is the research carried out? A. By doing two experiments. B. By interviewing all at once. C. By conducting two surveys. D. By taking part in activities. 【小题3】【小题3】What can the people with weak family ties do? A. Develop stronger family relations. B. Make as many friends as possible. C. Get more supportive friends. D. Stay with family members. 【小题4】【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage? A. Friends and family members are equally important. B. When we grow older, friendship matters more. C. As we age, family members are more valuable. D. We always need friends and family members. |

Registered dietitian Karen Ansel, MS, RD, offers these tips: Watch commercials with your kids. Ask them what they think of the foods being shown and what might be some tasty (more healthful) ones.
