36、of them are concerned with positive energyC. they all have the best actors and actresses in the worldD. the four films all have something to do with explorationBAccording to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the U.K. has about 7.7 million families with dependent children,
37、 of which 3.7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1.1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, “It appears that families
38、 are getting smaller.” One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic
39、uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers online forum Mumsnet, where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to ha
40、ve an only child”. She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up i
41、n many ways than his contemporaries. Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience. In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart” as a reaction to her only-child upbringing. She was pla
42、ced on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a “brattish, wilful” rejection of everything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”. Writer and clinician Dr. Dorothy Rowe, a member of the Br
43、itish Psychological Society, says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for o
44、nly children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older. 58. The passage is written with the purpose of _. A. illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only childB. analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popularC. presentin
45、g us with different opinions about having an only childD. guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives59. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean? A.

CExercise seems to be good for the human brain, with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory
49、 and thinking skills. But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect that is, if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise, do our brains respond accordingly? The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to us
