9、. Even the residents who don't have 16 memories make the experience fulfilling. I remember visiting Mrs. Robinson. She couldn't 17 much about her past, but she told me she'd 18 forget how kind I was just to listen to her "rambling (漫谈)". It made me realize that it's the 19

10、things that make life worth living. That's something I won't 20 any time. If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it's that 21 - just being there-means more than anything to many of the residents. And despite how 22 our lives are, there's alw

37、fa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which." Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's

38、 on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list," said Michael Riera,author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years," Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parent

44、r teenagers.D Eating at a slow speed may help reduce hunger, the U.S. researchers said on Monday. Previous research suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may damage the relationship between the sensory signals and proc

45、esses that control how much we eat. In order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake, researchers examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal-weight subjects as well as overweight or obese subjects. In the new study, a group of normal-

46、weight subjects and a group of overweight or obese subjects were asked to consume two meals in a controlled environment. All subjects ate one meal slowly, took small bites, chewed thoroughly, and paused and put the spoon down between bites, and ate a second meal qu. ickly, took large bites, chewed q

47、uickly, and did not pause and put the spoon down. At the conclusion of the study, the researchers found only normal-weight subjects had a statistically significant reduction in caloric consumption by eating slowly. "A lack of statistical significance in the overweight and obese group may be par

48、tly due to the fact that they consumed less food during both eating conditions compared to the normal-weight subjects," Professor Meena Shah said, "it is possible that the overweight and obese subjects felt more self-conscious, and thus ate less during the study." Despite the differen

49、ces in caloric consumption between the normal-weight and overweight and obese subjects, the study found some similarities. Both groups felt less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal, which indicates that greater hunger suppression (抑制) among both groups could be expected from

50、 a meal consumed more slowly. Also, both the normal-weight and overweight or obese groups consumed more water during the slow meal. "The higher water intake during the slow eating condition may have affected food consumption," said Shah. According to Shah, slowing the speed of eating may h

51、elp suppress hunger levels and "may even improve the enjoyment of a meal". The findings were published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.43. What does the previous study have in common with the new one? A. Eating too fast may impair your stomach. B. There is a link b

52、etween eating speed and energy intake. C. Eating at a slow speed may help feel hungry. D. Eating rate may affect processes controlling how much we eat.44. What should the subjects do during the research? A. One group should eat slowly while the other one quickly. B. Both groups could totally eat the

53、 meals at any speed as they liked. C. Both groups had to consume one meal in controlled eating conditions. D. Both groups were asked to eat one meal slowly while the other quickly.45. What caused the lack of statistically significant reduction in the overweight and obese group? A. They were told not

54、 to eat a lot. B. They ate less food on purpose. C. They lost consciousness in the study. D. In the study they had no appetite to eat.46. What is the passage mainly about? A. Water intake may have affected food consumption. B. New research findings about how to control eating rate. C. A study about

55、the link between eating speed and energy intake. D. One may feel less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal.E "Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text?" Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it

56、 first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesn't pay off just when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out. In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain.

57、One area creates and processes emotions; the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence. But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of one's actions is actually harde
