It is really terrible. A pizza(比萨饼) shop is appearing on every corner. We have been occupied by fast
23、 food and Coca-Cola-ization.“Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer.

29、in May 1998, elderly people who consistently high blood levels of the stress hormone. Whats more ,high levels of cortisol are also associated with shrinking of the hippocampus(海马区), a region of the brain that plays a key role in learning and memory.The findings suggest that even cortisol levels in t
30、he normal, “healthy“ range can actually accelerate brain aging.The study results “now provide substantial evidence that long-term exposure to adrenal(肾上腺) stress hormones may promote hippocampal aging in normal elderly humans, “write Nada porter and Phillip Landfield.

33、 the hippocampus in those in the increasing/high group was 14% lower than those in the decreasing/moderate group, although there were no differences in other brain regions.The results suggest that “brain aging can be accelerated by levels of adrenal hormones that are not generally regarded as pathol

38、ildhoodThe value of childhood is easily blurred(模糊) in to says world. Consider some recent developments: the child-murders in the Jonesboro, ark. Schoolyard shooting case were convicted and sentenced. Two boys, 7 and 8, were charged in the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Chicago.Children who commit
39、 horrible crimes appear to act of their own will. Yet, as legal proceedings in Jonesboro showed, the one boy who was to address the court couldnt begin to explain his acts, though he tried to apologize. There may have been a motive - youthful jealousy and resentment. But a deeper question remains: w
40、hy did these boys and others in similar trouble apparently lack any inner, moral restraint(束缚)?That question echoes for the accused in Chicago, young as they are. They wanted the girls bicycle, a selfish impulse(冲动) common enough among kids.Redemption(拯救) is a practical necessity. How can value be r
41、estored to young lives distorted(扭曲) by acts of violence? The boys in Jonesboro and in Chicago will be confined in institutions for a relatively short time. Despite horror at what was done children are not cannot be dealt with as adults, not if a people wants to consider itself civilized. Thats why
42、politicians cries for adult treatment of youthful criminals ultimately miss the point.But the moral void(真空) that invites violence has many sources. Family instability(不稳定) contributes. So does economic stress. That void, however, can be filled. The work starts with parents, who have to ask themselv
43、es whether theyre doing enough to give their children a firm sense of right and wrong. Are they really monitoring their activities and their developing processes of thought?Schools, too, have a role in building character. So do youth organizations. So do law enforcement agencies, which can do more t

And their observance(遵守)11 The two boys in Chicago wereA shotB murdered.C accused.D set free12 The boys Jonesboro and Chicago apparently lacked a sense ofA right and wrongB humor.C gratitude.D safety.13 According to politicians, when children commit crim
