11、ce major because this high-tech Information Age demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills. There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example , a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved great

12、er managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特点 ) of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in. Social science majors are not only

13、 experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who w

14、as looking for a job was communication skills, noted as very important by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions. Finally, although

19、having a heart problem. According to a new study, a new study, a small amount of chocolate every day could decrease the risk of having a heart attack, by nearly 40 percent, German researchers followed nearly 20,000 people over eight years, sending them several questionnaires about their diet and exe

20、rcise habits. They found people who had an an average of six grams of chocolate a dayor about one square of a ch ocolate barhad a 39 percent lower risk of a heart attack. Previous studies have suggested dark chocolate in small amounts could be good for you, but this is the first study to track its e

21、ffects over such a long period. Experts think the flavonols（黄酮醇） contained in chocolate are responsible. Flavonols, also found in vegetables and red wine, help the muscles in blood vessels（血管） widen, which leads to a drop in blood pressure. “Its a bit too early to come up with recommendations that p

22、eople should eat more chocolate, but if people replace sugar or high-fat snacks with a little piece of dark chocolate, that might help,” said Brian Buijsse, a doctor at the German Institute of Human Nutrition in Nuthetal, Germany, the studys lead author. The people tracked by Buijsse and colleagues

23、had no history of heart problems, had similar habits for risk factors like smoking and exercise, and did not vary widely in their Body Mass Index（身体质量指数） . Since the study only observed people and did not give them chocolate directly to test what its effects were, experts said more research was need

24、ed to determine the candys exact impact on the body. Doctors also warned that eating large amounts of chocolate could lead to weight gain. “This is not a prescription（指示） to eat more chocolate,” said Robert Eckel, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado who is not linked to the study.

25、“If we all had (a small amount of)chocolate every day for the rest of our lives, we would all gain a few pounds.” Eckel said it was amazing to find such a small amount of chocolate could have such a protective effect, but that more studies were needed to confirm its conclusions. 1 What is the main p

26、urpose of the article A To suggest people eat as much dark chocolate as possible. B To warn people not to eat too much chocolate. C To tell people how to avoid a heart attack. D To report on a study about the benefits of chocolate. 2 Both Buijsse and Eckel believe that . A dark chocolate in enough a

32、 a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones. Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”. The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A

33、 family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪 )； someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
