23、na Universityin theUS. Their work highlights that parents who argue about finances contribute to increasing credit card debt amongtheir children during their students years. Their work is published online in Springer's Journal of Family and Economic Issues.Credit card debt among college students

24、 has been a growing concern for researchers and policymakers over the last decade. In addition, there is growing concern among educators that more students are dropping out of school, not because of academic failure, but because of financial reasons, and credit card especially. Hancock and colleague

25、s' study is the first to examine how parental interactions, and financial knowledge and attitudes may have a cumulative effect 累積效應 on the number of credit cards students own and their level of credit card debt.The researchers analyzed data for 420 undergraduate students from seven different Ame

26、rican universities, who took part in the College Student Financial Literacy Survey. According to the online survey, nearly two-thirds of students had a credit card, and nearly a third had more than one. Those students who reported that their parents argued about finances were more likely to have mor

27、e than two cards than the students whose parents who did not argue about finances.In terms of debt, those students who had two or more credit cards were nearly three times more likely to report having credit card debt over 500.The researchers conclude, "It is clear that the influence of parents

28、 cannot beneglected. Researchers, educators and policymakers should work in finding effective ways to increase the positive financial behaviors fo college students. Weneed to help students learn financial skills and establish healthy financial attitudes at earlier ages to prevent poor financial habi

This is the research finding ofa team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and a

33、s a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at

34、 Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volumeof the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能 ) and emo

35、tion, anddetermine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was observed I some su

36、bjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner i

37、n people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant

38、.Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain, he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation.

39、Don 't rely on pocket calculators.36. The team of doctors wanted to find out .A. why certain people age sooner than others B. how to make people live longerC. the size of certain people's brainsD. which people are most intelligent37. On what are their research findings based?A. A survey of f

40、armers in northern Japan. B. Tests performed on a thousand old people.C. The study of brain volumes of different people D. The latest development of computer technology.38.

41、-year-olds have the better brains than thirty-year-oldsD. some people 's brains have contracted more than other people's .39. The word “subjects in Paragraph 5means .A. something to be considered B. branches of knowledge studiedC. persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD. any member of

42、 a state except the supreme ruler.40. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?A. Lawyers. B. Farmers. C. Clerks. D. Shop assistants.DThe speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High

43、 school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not stand

44、ards nor its decline降低 . What the speaker was really saying isthat eh is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is a

45、lso human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies缺陷 . But since then, English teachers havebeen under constant attack.The complainers thin

46、k they have hit upon an original idea. As their own commandof the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the ey

47、es and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today&

48、#39;s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.41. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that .A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that t of the older generationB. the students had a

49、poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English42. In the author's opinion, the speaker .A. g

50、ave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB. had exaggerated 夸張 the language problems of the studentsC. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently43. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is .A. neu

51、tral B. positive C. criticalD. compromising44. It can be concluded from the passage that .A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB. the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Languag

52、e improvement needs time and effort45. In the passage the author argues that .A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsByoung people would not have a poor commandof English if the teachers did their jobs properlyCto get rid of language deficiencies o
