19、of marriages as well as the age at first marriage. Findings shouldn t create panic among those approaching 30, he says.Those marriagesturned out better but maybe not because of the age,“ he says. Some people maybe just too picky or too choosy or not extremely desirable.”Other researchers worry that

Rowling, once publishing s greatest holdout（ 坚持不合作者 ）against the computer age, has made all six Potter novels available for audio downloads. In a message posted Wednesday on her website, Rowling said she was concerned a

35、bout online piracy（ 盗版）,included bootleg（ 非法制作）editions for which the original text was altered.“Many Harry Potter fans have been keen for digital access for a while, but the deciding factor for me in authorizing this new version is that it will help combat the growing incidents of piracy in this ar

36、ea, Rowling wrote.“There have bee n a number of incidents where fans have stumbled upon （偶然发 现）unauthorized files believing them to be genuine and, quite apart from the fact that they are illegal, the Harry Potter content of these can bear very little resemblance to anything I ve ever written! ”The

37、digital audio books are being released by the RandomHouse Audio Trade Group, her current audio publisher.

38、ooklet andapreviously unreleased readings by Rowling.Neil Blair, a lawyer with Rowling s literary agency, said Wednesday that there are no current plans for Potter e-books.Rowling s fantasy series, most recently “Harry Potter and Half -Blood Prin ce,“ has sold more than 200 million copies worldwide

39、in print editionsand morethan 5 million as audio books, narrated by Grammy winner Jim Dale.

44、artially due to the long-term effects of nicotine, new research suggests. People who are also smokers are at a much higher risk, Dr.Jennifer M. Glass, of the University of Michigan s AddictionResearch Center, said.In her study, acigarette smoking was negatively related to IQ and thinking, she said.T

45、his finding may seem counterintuitive（ 违反直觉的 ）,since many smokers attest to （证明）feeling more alert and focused after smoking. Indeed, research shows that improved mental functioning is one of the immediate effects of nicotine exposure.Chronic（ 延续性的 ）smoking, however, is known to have the opposite ef

46、fect.Studies show that up to 87 percent of alcoholics smoke cigarettes. Yet, few studies have looked into cigarette smoking as a factor that might explain the cognitivedeficits（ 亏损）reported among alcoholics.To investigatethatassociation, Glass and her colleagues examined brain function among 172 men

47、 fromthe same community, including 103 men who abused alcohol. The team found that men with higher scores on the lifetime alcohol problems scale （LAPS） and those whoreported a higher number of pack-years（吸烟年包数 ）of smoking both had lower IQscores. Uponfurther investigation, the researchers found that

48、 smoking also appeared to be independently associated with weaker verbal（言辞的）and visual-spatial（ 视觉与空间的）reasoning.Thus, though smoking did not account for all of the decreased neuro-cognitive（ 神 经认知）functioning observed among the alcohol abusers, it did seem to account for some of the effects, the r

49、eport indicates.The reason why many smokers feel more alert and focused after smoking is mainlyone of the quicker reactions of their minds.one of the quickly-spread effects of nicotine.one of the positive effects of their brain.one of the active influences of their nerve.The phrase “ that associatio

50、n “ in paragraph 3 refers to _.the relation between cigarette-smoking and Intelligence Quality.the relation between cigarette-smoking and thinking ability.the relation between cigarette-smoking and visual reasoning.the relation between cigarette-smoking and cognitive deficits.The poor mental functio

51、n of alcoholics may mainly result from the long-term effects of.A. alcohol. B. cigarettes. C. nicotine. D. wines.According to the passage, we can conclude that.smoking can decrease IQ and thinking to some degree.most of the alcoholics regularly smokes cigarettes.nicotine can make smokers feel more a

52、lert and focused after smoking.the more a man smokes, the lower his IQ scores are.EFans celebrated when Liu Xiang cruised（ 以中等速度行进 ）to an easy victory at the 10th National Games on October 20, in 2005. They didn t really care about how the Olympic gold medallist got into a doctoral program.So he ent

53、ered the programwithout taking any form of entrance examination, what s the big deal? Heis a hero; he deserves it. Such is a very“Chinese logic - the authority and honor onegains in a certain field prevails（ 取胜）and brings the person bigger authority and honor in literally every other field.Liu excel

54、s and wins glory for his countryin the sports world. Accordingly, hehas been generously awarded in terms of wealth and social honors. But this is not enough. The 22-year- old runner is now “awardedadmission into a five -year sportsmanagement program at his alma mater （母校）and is trusted to succeed in

55、 the academic world.Considering the fact that the East China Normal University has prepared a special advisory team of more than 10 professors to meet Liu s needs, the trust theadmissions committee has in the young athlete is quite unconditional.Ji Liu, dean of the School of Sports and Health Care a

56、nd Liu s doctoral adviser, believes that it should not be a problem for Liu Xiang to be a qualified graduate student, because “he is smart and has already been equipped with an undergraduate background.Yes, Liu is smart. But being smart doesn t mean he is academically minded or knowledgeable. Some p

57、eople argue that Liu has the kind of insights into the sports world that ordinary doctorate students don t have. True, but again he is pursuing a research-oriented degree, rather than one with a professional track.With a bunch of races scheduled and the 2008 Olympic Games approaching, Liu is extreme

58、ly busy with his mission to succeed as the greatest hope China has ever had in international track and field events.It s doubtful how much time he will haveto be able to do post-graduate work.Even if he does manage to squeeze some time between training and competitions, is it reasonable to have 10 p

59、rofessors go, fly in some cases, back and forth to tutor only one single student, when graduate education resources are so scarce in China?Liu Xiang is a great athlete. He deserves all the prizes and honors meant to reward his efforts on the track. But giving him a doctorate is too much.I like Liu X

60、iang and as a Shanghainese, I amproud of this talented, hardworking and amiable young man. But I m rather reserved（ 保留 ）over the nature and timing of his scholarly pursuits.The words of “ the fact in the third paragraph refer to.that the authority and honor one gains in a certain field prevails and
