Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick in the
2、 thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good m
3、othering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of
4、 the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once th

7、sts that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man“s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy bear with the sound pattern toy bear“.

15、pecially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but
16、 exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even
17、be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill“ and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body“s special needs. Both types hav
18、e simply been called “well“. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well“ and “wellness“ only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of mon
19、itoring their body“s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well“ in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they
20、can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness“ may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention
21、on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.（分数：25.00）(1).Today medical care is placing more stress on _.（分数：5.00）A.keeping people in a healthy physical conditionB.monitoring patients“ body functionsC.r

26、 weighed 275 pounds. He used to skip breakfast, and he didn“t eat all that much for dinner. So I once wondered why he was getting so big.

Emily Two years ago, I knew my husband“s health was at risk because of all the weight he had picked up since we“d been married. But he wasn“t doing anything about it. Then I went to
28、a doctor“s office and I followed his advice and started talking about food to my husband-what was good, what was bad-as if it was a new discovery. I didn“t lecture my husband about the evils of being overweight, didn“t try to threaten him by saying if he didn“t lose weight his blood pressure could s
29、hoot sky-high and he might have a heart attack. Instead, I talked about how well he“d look in new clothes, how he“ d probably do better on the job (he was a salesman), to ask questions. After a few months, he“d lost 20 pounds. John I once kept a list of everything I ate one week, just to show my wif
30、e was wrong about where I was picking up extra pounds. When I studied my list, I wondered how I found time to do any work, I was eating so much. There“s nothing like seeing it in black and white to prove you“re wrong. Jane Scott When I found my husband had weight problem, I was determined to take so
31、me measures. I made sure I needed something from the store three mornings a week, and then I told my husband I didn“t want to walk there alone-it was about a quarter of a mile each way-and I“d always insist on walking. He breathed hard at first, but gradually got used to it, and we started making a
32、circle around the neighborhood at night, too, with the dog. That was three years ago, and now I can“t keep him still. The walking got him used to using his body again, and he was happy to find it still worked pretty well. Ted Men tend to think less about the costs of excess pounds than women do. Men
33、 often seem blind to the possibility that a beer belly is causing them to look unattractive to their mates, holding them back in their careers and killing them before their time. Also, many men feel self-conscious going to a diet center-especially if most of the group is female. Diets are perceived
34、to be of women“s concern, or an admission of weakness. There are even men who would rather blow up like a blimp before they admit to other men-or themselves-that they need to lose weight. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A
35、. The heavier, the merrier. B. Some form of physical exercise has to play a part in men“s weight-loss program. C. Attention should be paid to eating patterns. D. Men“s attitudes are quite different from women“s. E. Gaining weight has nothing to do with health. F. Your educational role sometimes has
