Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flood
2、ed by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain. “This never happened before,“ say the older citizens of Kiribati. What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like
3、oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released. These pollutants trap heat in the earth“s atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) and polar (极地的) ice caps. If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suff

It“s a huge quality of life problem, experts say, because contrary to popular belief, seniors require about the same amou
20、nt of sleep as younger adults. “Sleep problems and sleep disorders are not an inherent (固有的) part of aging,“ said Dr. Harrison G. Bloom, an associate clinical professor of geriatrics (老年病学) and medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. “It“s pretty much of a myth that older pe
21、ople need less sleep than younger people.“ Yet, in a study published recently in The American Journal of Medicine, researchers found that more than half of older Americans have problems getting the sleep they need. Older people tend to have “sleep fragmentation,“ meaning they wake up more often duri
22、ng the night, said study author Dr. Julie Gammck, an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Geriatric Medicine at St. Louis University. They also seem to get less “REM“ sleep, the type of sleep during which rapid eye movement occurs, Bloom added. It“s unclear what role these naturally oc
23、curring changes in sleep patterns have on person“s quality of life, Bloom said. “What is important, though, is that older people often have actual sleep disorders and problems with sleep,“ he said. And, experts say, there is usually more than one cause. “Sleep trouble in older adults is typically as
24、sociated with acute and chronic illnesses, including specific sleep disorders like sleep apnea (呼吸暂停) and restless leg syndrome that appear with greater frequency in older populations,“ said Michael Vitriol, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and associate director of the University o
25、f Washington“s Northwest Geriatric Education Center. Taking multiple medications, as many older people do, can also lead to fatigue a “hypersomnia“ or being tired all the time, Bloom added. Another big problem, he noted, is depression and anxiety. “Those are very commonly associated with sleep probl
26、ems.“ Despite the prevalence (流行) of sleep difficulties in older adults, many patients aren“t getting the help they need. As a result, problems like insomnia (失眠), restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea are under-diagnosed and under-treated, Bloom said.（分数：14.00）(1).Sleep problems can seriously affec

This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery, and both men and women
30、 are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive (有竞争力的) in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts(面部拉皮手术), liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting artificial parts into their bodies) to help them
31、 look younger. As companies downsize (缩编) and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. These operations are not without dangers, however. One young woman had an eye operat
32、ion to get rid of the bags under her eyes; she described her experience as terrible. She said, “When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he“d given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything.“ She went on to explain, I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was
33、scraping (刮) away fat underneath my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished, “I felt I couldn“t walk. I was so faint.“ Her troubles did not end after the operation for two weeks. Her eyes were swollen (肿胀的) and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effect
34、s of the operation. Liposuction, taking fat out of the body, is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine like a vacuu
35、m cleaner is then used to suck the fat out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems call happen after the operation. He warned，irregular lumps and loose skin can reset from this operation. “If it is not evenly done. liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.“ Patients often mus

39、rk. It“s about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they“re learning,“ says J. Gary Knowles, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, part of the University of Toronto. Rozon has a slew of suggestions for how to get more involved. “Get to know
40、the teacher. Discuss ways to tailor the assignments to your child“s learning style. Spend time in the classroom. Ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find supplementary materials at the library or through videos. Read your child“s textbooks: If you work a few pages ahead, you“ll be able to he
41、lp them with problems they encounter.“ “Reading is another must.“ says Rozon. “Even after your children can read themselves, hearing somebody else read aloud is important. We nearly always have a book on the bed; we read for at least a half hour before bedtime.“ The more engaged a parent is, the mor
42、e the child benefit, adds Bruce Arai. “The evidence is clear: Parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success.“ Arai cites the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth sponsored by Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC), which is measuring all aspects of chil
43、d development. “The hours children spend in class are but one element of their education.“ states HRDC, which says parental support, along with teacher support and a positive attitude towards school, all contribute to academic success. “I see every moment of every day as a learning experience.“ says
44、 Goforth. “The most satisfying part of it is seeing the love of learning continued. I“m not squelching my children“s desire to learn by insisting they learn. They learn because they want to.“ Adds Jeanne Lambert, mother of Carey Graham: “Make the time, take the time, guide, lead, and encourage. If n

48、：2.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentionedA Dolphin and an AstronomerOne day in 1963, a dolphin named Elvar and a famous astronomer, Carl Sagan, were playing a little game. The astronomer was visiting an institute which was looking into the way dolphins communicate with each other. Sagan was standing on th
49、e edge of one of the tanks where several of these friendly, highly intelligent creatures were kept. Elvar had just swum up alongside him and had turned on his back. The dolphin wanted Sagan to scratch his stomach again, as the astronomer had done twice before. Elvar looked up at Sagan, waiting. Then, after a minute or so, the dolphin leapt up through the water and made a sound just like the word “more“. The astonished astronomer went to the director of the institute and told him about the incident. “Oh, yes. That“s one of the words he knows,“ the director said, showing no surprise at all. Do
