A common concern we often hear with regard to single children is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a dilemma associated with their decision lo have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations.
Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less able to interact well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with brothers or sisters.
However, for some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures of giving time and energy to a second child can seem too great, resulting in them electing to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. Still others believe that, _______________, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self-respect which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the child being more confident.

Many drivers think driving their vehicle is the only mode of transportation．However，high fuel prices have forced many consumers to look for alternative transportation．Alternative transportation is more efficient than driving your vehicle everywhere．If more drivers used alternative transportation，such as the public transit system, riding a bike, buying a hybrid vehicle or carpooling，then they would save hundreds of dollars．
Carpooling is an alternative mode of transportation consisting of more than two commuters(固定路線上班者) sharing a vehicle． Commuters that live near each other，share a common destination and have the same work hours form the simplest and most common carpool arrangement．It is a simple way for individuals to take part in the climate change challenge while saving money，reducing traffic jam and air pollution，and saving energy along the way．The more people in a carpool，the greater the savings．
Most carpoolers agree that the good company of their fellow carpoolers is a benefit that they really enjoy．Agreement on a few simple points will ensure that your carpool stays a happy one．Although these points seem to be just common sense，there are a few specific rules
that you may want to consider．
Carpooling is encouraged in many big cities around the world through computerized matching of riders with similar commute patterns and preferenees to tackle rush hour traffic jams and reduce pollution．There are websites providing assistance to individuals who are considering carpooling as an alternate means of commuting．However，some Shanghai city government departments drew criticism for banning the practice because it disrupted the taxi service market．
Driving Alone vs．Carpooling Approximate cost per person annually of 22 cents per mile for gas, maintenance, tired and depreciation(折舊).

The most common disease in the world is the cold. It often starts with a sore throat（咽部疼痛）. You sneeze (打噴嚏) and your nose runs. You usually have a headache, too. Often you have a cough later. It's not a serious disease, but you can feel quite bad.
There isn't a cure (良藥 ) for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For example, you can take aspirin (阿司匹林) to get rid of your headache. It is good to rest, and to drink a lot of water, too. A doctor once told me, "With the right medicine, a cold will last for seven days. With no medicine, it will go on for a whole week!"
Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people understood that some plants made them feel better. They ate the leaves, the roots , the fruit or the seeds of plants. For example, the juice of lemons (檸檬) makes a sore throat feel better. In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals (化學藥品) are in them. Many of our medicines today are made from those chemicals. There are some diseases that we can't cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, the average (平均的) person now lives longer than their grandparents.

Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older．But this is not true，according to Dr．Lissy F．Jarvik，professor of psychiatry(精神病學)at the University of California，Los Angeles，and a board member of the New Center for Aging at the Veterans Hospital．She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years.For example，one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old．As Dr．Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s，their minds did not generally decline(下降)as was expected．
However，there was some decline in their psycho-motor(精神運動的)speed． This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to．But when speed was not a factor，they lost very little intellectual (智力的) ability over the years.In general，Dr．Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability．This is true not only into the 30s and 40s，but into the 60s and 70s as well．
As for learning new things，and ability to remember，studies by Dr．Jarvik and others show that the old are equal to the young．It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was．However，much of what we call“loss of memory”is not that at a11．
In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decline，it is not necessarilv a sign of a decay due to becoming old or“senility”．Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state．This depression usually can be got rid of by counseling(咨詢)with a psychologist，or medicine which fights depression.
In American society，when an older person loses something，we tend to call him or her“senile”．But notice that when a younger person loses something，he does not blame it on senility or loss of memory．He finds some other excuse!
1.A long-term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that the only factor that declined over the years was .
|
A．mental health |
B．intellectual ability |
|
C．the amount of knowledge |
D．psycho-motor speed |
2.According to Dr．Jarvik’s studies，middle-aged and older persons should expect to .
|
A．reason better |
B．learn fewer new things |
|
C．remember less |
D．1ose little ability to remember |
3.The word“senility”most likely means .
|
A．excellent health |
B．weakness in body and mind because of old age |
|
C．occasional forgetfulness |
D．giving up one’s life |
4.Both younger and older persons should realize that .
|
A．a sign of a decay due to old age or“senility’’is a common thing |
|
B．older persons are wiser than younger ones because of different knowledge amount |
|
C．senility or mental decay due to aging is much less common than most of us believe |
|
D．a sign of a depressed emotional state is not a reason of decay |

| Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 1 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 2 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in 3 diary? The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 4 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 5 that she does not want to 6 . It's interesting that someone who writes in a blog 7 a diary will probably write nearly the same information. I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 8 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 9 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 10 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 11 that my sister might read it! The biggest 12 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 13 about her in my diary, she would never know. 14 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 15 read her blog and get a"cry". There are also 16 of blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary,"Nobody cares about me," 17 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 18 respond (回應) and tell her how much they 19 her. Blogs help people 20 in contact with their friends and to hear what the people around them are doing. | ||||
