August 5, 2011, 11:22 PM Please don't burn them! What a wonderful source of memories for you —or if you feel you' d rather not keep them, possibly what a wonderful resource for others．Why not contact something like the Mass Observation project at the University of Sussex? Then they will stand as a record of everyday life throughout your lifetime, and if your grandchildren are interested they'll know where to find them． bloggsie45 August 6, 2011, 2:30 AM Please don't burn them! If possible, transcribe （转录） them, or have them transcribed, into a computer medium before your words are lost because the paper has decayed （腐朽）． I recently had an opportunity to read a similar diary of the WWII war record of an ordinary soldier．It was attractive in the way it differed from the Official Record． I suppose to some degree it all depends on what you have recorded, but many social historians and similar people would find such a complete personal record of a life during the second half of the twentieth century to be very valuable． Please don't stop writing now just because you are 65! 39．How long has the journal owner kept his journals?
A．18 years． B．47 years． C．65 years． A．His children will put them together with him after his death． B．They will be published by a famous publishing house． C．His grandchildren will continue to write them．

Bones have the amazing ability to heal themselves, and this healing begins before you even see a doctor．However, visiting a doctor is always recommended to ensure that the bones are arranged properly and will join in a clean line．
The outer layer of the bone is a sorehouse of minerals．The inner layer is called the marrow （骨髓）．The red marrow makes red blood cells, while the yellow marrow is used to store fat．Bones continually undergo changes in a process called \．Osteoblast cells （破骨细胞） break down old bones and cause new bone cells to form．As soon as a bone breaks, the osteoblasts get to work．It takes three to four months to recreate the solid, stable bone in most
5
cases．But some bones have more blood supply so they heal faster, for instance, toe bones, whereas wrist bones can take longer．
To speed bone healing, you can pay attention to the following things in your life: Lifestyle
Stop smoking．Smoking slows the blood flow to the bones, therefore slowing healing．Smokers take longer, to heal broken bones．
Stop drinking．Alcohol slows the formation of the osteoblasts．
Decrease caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea, and colas which increase calcium loss．Since your body needs all the calcium to get to heal your bones, it is wise to minimize sources of calcium loss．
Nutrition
Because the bones need protein to build, add it to your diet．Meat, fish, soy, nuts, beans, and dairy are all good sources．Dairy has the added advantage of containing calcium．
The recommended dose for calcium is 800-1200 milligrams a day for adults．There is no research to suggest that adding calcium speeds bone healing, but be certain to maintain normal intake levels．
Vitamin D aids calcium absorption．The latest suggestions for vitamin D consumption have raised the minimum required dose from 2,000 to 4,000 daily．Be sure to take in that much while healing bones．
Vitamin K, found in leafy greens, also aids bone repair． 43．According to Paragraph 2, osteoblast cells ______．
A．make red blood cells B．are used to store fat C．break old bones D．begin to work only when necessary 44．Why should people with broken bones decrease caffeinated drinks? A．Because they cause the loss of calcium．
B．Because they slow the formation of the osteoblasts． C．Because they slow the blood flow to the bones．
D．Because they break down bones．
45．Which of the following groups contains more Vitamin K? A．Meat and fish． B．Green vegetables． C．Soy, nuts, and beans． 46．The author organizes the passage by ______．
A．making comparisons C．giving examples
D．Dairy．
B．quoting data from a study
D．explaining facts and offering advice

A study of the first universal parenting （抚养） program, designed to prevent early child behaviour problems, shows that it has little impact on toddler behaviour．
Behaviour problems affect up to 20 percent of children and have major personal, social and 'economic consequences．Left untreated, up to half of behaviour problems in preschool children develop into later mental health problems．Prevention targeted to high -risk families can be effective, but has limited reach．Universal programs offered to all families could deal with these concerns, but their effectiveness is uncertain．
The study, conducted at Centre for Community Child Health （母亲） in Melbourne, Australia, is published by the British Medical Journal．Researchers from the CCCH and the
6
Parenting Research Centre designed a program suitable for all parents to be delivered by trained health professionals in primary care．The program aimed to prevent child behaviour problems and improve parenting and maternal （母亲的） mental health．
Over 700 mothers of 8 month-old infants （婴儿） participated in the study and were randomized （随机安排）to either the program （three periods at age 8-15 months）or usual care from their local Maternal and Child Health centre．Mothers were surveyed throughout the study and their mental health was assessed when their children reached 18 and 24 months．At 18 months, child behaviour and parenting scores were similar between the two groups．By age 24 months, parents on the program were less likely to report unreasonable expectations of child development, but there was no improvement in maternal distress （悲痛） or toddler behaviour．
This was the first trial to evaluate a universal parenting program involving families from all social backgrounds, say the authors．They conclude that the results are insufficient （不充分的） to support widespread introduction of this program to prevent toddler behaviour problems． 47．What does the underlined word \
A．An adult． B．A teenager．
C．A young child． D．A new-born baby．
48．What can we learn from the passage about child behaviour problems?
A．They can be prevented by the specially designed parenting program． B．They may result in mental health problems unless treated． C．More than half of the children have the problems． D．In most cases, prevention of child behaviour problems can be effective． 49．What do we know about the two groups in the study?
A．Mothers on the specially designed parenting program are mentally healthier． B．Children in the usual care developed more behaviour problems．
C．Children on the parenting program are more likely to have behaviour problems． D．Behaviour problems are almost the same between the children in the two groups． 50．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．The first trial to evaluate a universal parentmg program. B． How to prevent child,behaviour problems .
C． Child behaviour problems are drawing people's attention.
D．A study shows that parenting program does not prevent child behaviour problems. 第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） —Taxi !
