4、to eat the organisms that live there. Professor Wilga said the arrival of sharks and shell-crushing bony fishes would lead to great changes in the number and proportions(比例)of species found there.

The charges come i
12、n the form of words that seem to shout out like “It is not even worth trying!” or “You look as if you were a qualified man.” I met with a professor last week about a specific posting that really got me excited. Maybe the first time I could actually imagine myself in a position. I do not want to tell
13、 you which one because then there will be one more person applying for it. However, the professor said to me, “You and thousands of other people are interested in that job.” His response successfully dampened(抑制)my initial enthusiasm. So I went back to work on my cover letter, feeling like one littl

Of course, the realities are good, and we should never feel deserving of, or entitled to, a position. I would say there are only a few select students out there. The cream, who has academic adv
15、antages, would be sure to stand out. The rest of us, struggling through our course loads, are the crop. But being the crop does not make us any less important! The point is that, like the old Hasidic story goes in Jewish tradition, we should always remember to carry two slips of paper in our pockets
16、, especially during times of challenge and transition. When feeling beat down, or lost within a school of sardines, take out one slip of paper that says “For my sake, the world was created”.

20、r for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens or too little, for that matter might be related to depression, a new study finds. The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at incr
21、eased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time. For the study, Dr Pierre-Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals ag
22、ed 16 to 20 about their Internet use. Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users,while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users. The teenagers also answered a number of health-related question
23、s, including some standard questions about “depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed. Among male teens, heavy users
24、and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users. That was with factors li
25、ke family income and any chronic health problems taken into account. Since teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially isolated. 8How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users?
26、 AMore than two hours. BMore than eight hours. CMore than twelve hours. DMore than ten hours. 9Whats the purpose of Dr Michaud and his colleagues study? ATo know the actual number of teenagers online. BTo know the actual time of teenagers online. CTo know the influence of study online on teenagers.
27、DTo know the relationship between the Internet use and depression. 10Whats the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the last paragraph? AIndependent BUnited CSeparated. DCapable. 11According to the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we conclude? ANon-users of Internet arent likely to
28、be depressed. BAmong girls, heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer depression than regular users. CHeavy users will lead to death unless limited. DNon-users have more possibility to be depressed than heavy users. D A study, conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and Anna Popova of Stanfo
29、rd University, looked at 19 programs around the world in which individuals were given cash transfers from the government, either as a handout or as a “reward” for something like getting kids to school on time or taking them to the doctor for checkups Evans and Popova looked at the impact those cash

31、ral theories about why One theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible Investing in their kids education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within reach now, but without the cash handout, these goals werent even a possibilitySo families cut back
32、 on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a reality Another theory is that people just generally seem to do what theyre toldIf they are given money and told to use it for their familys welfare, in most cases, they will do just that And that leads to the third theory: These c
33、ash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their children Whatever the reason for the trend, the data is clearfamilies that receive cash handouts dont waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previ
