also showed that a large percentage of women start noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight Yesterday Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig weight management program said In the UK 61 4 per cent of adults are overweight or obese Successful weight management requires a long term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important Otherwise as this research shows women could end up heavier than when they started The Food Body Mind report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes beliefs and behaviors around weight loss Six in ten said they are currently on a diet and one in five women said they are on a continuous diet It found the most common triggerstriggers to start dieting was seeing their reflection in the mirror preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half However the study showed that one in ten give up within one day while almost a fifth manage to make it to a week or more The average is ten days Many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal Others blamed colleagues who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter while mothers who polish off their children s leftovers 剩饭 was another common cause of weight gain 56 Which of the following might be the best title for this article A Three reasons to fail in dietingB Important things for successful diet C Obesity problem for 61 4 adults in UKD Four in ten women gain weight on diets 57 In the UK women who go on a diet A are all overweight or obese B are likely to gain weight again after reaching their ideal weight C all fail because they

following is NOT the reason why many people quit dieting very soon A The pressure they put on themselves to lose weight quickly B Colleagues who give them fatty lunches and snacks C Reflections they see in the mirror D Leftovers of children s taken by their mothers 60 In which column of the newspaper do you probably find the passage A Health B Economy C Sports D Education B The US government has started a website Admongo to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them It claims to provide visitors with an aducation through games and other entertainment A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo Call me Haiz he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things To identify the advertiser To know what the advertiser is really saying And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do Children learn these things through a video game They create their own game character They can choose different skin colors hair styles eye and mouth shapes Then they begin a trip through ad land where there are ads on buses and billboards The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level The Admongo game takes players inside a home to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing 9 One such area is food marketing The Federal Trade Commission FTC says it is a big business The FTC estimates that food drink and fast food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009 The FTC says children are important for three reasons They buy products They influence parents and caregivers to buy And they are the future adult buyers of the products A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children 61 What is the best title of the text A A website aimed at children s food B The cartoon guide named Haiz C An aducation website for children D A popular online video game 62 Why did the government start the website A To advertise the video game for children B To help children know about advertising C To attract the biggest market of buyers D To sell the products of its company 63 What can players do in the website game A Play video games during the trip B Travel to a supermarket C Eat in a fast food restaurant D Choose appearance for their character 64 Children are important for advertising because they are A important for the society B the most potential buyers C easily influenced by adsD easily affected by poor products 65 According to Michelle Obama lots of foods advertised for children are A of low quality B yummyC of high nutrition D healthy C Is language like food a basic human need Judging from the extreme experiment of Frederick in the 13th century it may be Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue he told the nurses to keep silent All the babies died before the first year But clearly there was more than language deprivation 剥夺 丧失 What was missing was good mothering Without good mothering in the first year of life especially the ability to survive is seriously affected Today no such extreme deprivation exists as that ordered by Frederick Nevertheless some children are still backward in speaking Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to signals of the baby whose brain is programmed to mop up language rapidly There are critical times it seems when children learn more rapidly If these sensitive periods are 10 neglected the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed order and at a constant age but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ Recent evidence suggests that a baby is born with the ability to speak What is special about man s brain compared with that of the monkey is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of say a teddy bear with the sound pattern teddy bear But speech has to be developed and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child where the mother recognizes the signals in the child s babbling clinging grasping crying smiling and responds to them Insensitivity of the mother to these signals reduces the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals Sensitivity to the child s nonverbal 非语言的 signals is basic to the growth and development of language 66 Frederick s experiment was extreme because A he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speak B he wanted his nurses to say another language C he was unkind to the nurses D he ignored the importance
