Conversely, a diet that skimps on fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and fish and includes lots of fried foods, red meat and alcohol is highly likely to pave a road to cognitive ru

23、t the Hopkins psychologists discovered about the babies is no different from the way adult learn, Stahl and Lisa wrote in their paper. Scientists, for instance, think more intently, run more _46_ and try to develop new theories when running across an unusual or expected finding.One way researchers s

26、With the growth of transnational education models, including franchise programmes, online degrees, branch campuses and now MOOCs, these _51_ groups of international students may be further _52_ by two primary subgroups: global and glocal.Global students comprise Highfliers and Strugglers, who will n

Alternative pathways to foreign education through tra

In contrast, glocal students comprise Explorers and Strivers, who have the _55_ to study abroad in traditional destinations like the US, the UK or Australia, but cannot due to their low academic or poor financial resources, _56_.These st
29、udents are open to other forms of engaging with transnational education. Glocal students are different from global ones, as they would like to earn the social prestige and career _57_ offered by foreign education without having to go very far from home.Both glocal and global segments will grow in th
30、e medium term, but the glocal one is expected to grow at a faster pace due to an insatiable _58_ for foreign education, an expanding middle-class in _59_, and technological innovation. On the other hand, the global segment will grow at a slower pace due to a shift in institutional priority to _60_ i

32、 which may negatively influence the expectations of glocal students and therefore growth.Of course, not all international students can be boxed into this framework. _62_, the passage is intended to provide a broad framework for institutions to _63_ the shift that is occurring in the competitive land
33、scape and to help them make the best strategic choices. _64_, the dynamics of international student mobility are changing, with the growth of transnational education resulting in new student segments and behaviours.

38、e who suffered physical, emotional or sexual abuse. And among a large group of children in the United States, the risk of mental health problems was nearly four times greater for victims of bullying than for victims of child abuse.The findings, published in the journal Lancet Psychiatry, underscore
39、the need to take bullying more seriously as a public health problem.Previous studies have shown that children who are abused by adults or victimized by their peers grow up to suffer higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation, among other problems. Both are bad, but the researchers wan
40、ted to know which was worse.As they assessed the risks of mental health problems, the researchers controlled for gender, family instability or adversity, socioeconomic status and other factors that might influence the link between maltreatment and mental health.A history of child abuse was associate
41、d with a greater risk of mental health problems as an adult for the American children, but not for their English counterparts. However, children in both countries were more likely to have mental health problems if they had been bullied.Overall, the effects of bullying were worse. For instance, the E
42、nglish children who were bullied were 70% more likely to experience depression or practice some form of self-harm than were children who suffered child abuse. The American children were nearly five times more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety if they were bullied than if they were abused.66.The wo
43、rd “underscore” (Para. 3) in the passage means _ .A. clarifyB. emphasizeC. satisfyD. forward67.The “other factors” the researchers controlled for assessing the risks of mental health problems might include which of the following?A. Divorce.B. Boy or Girl.C. History of family diseases.D. Annual famil

American; was bulliedD. English; was abused (B)Sending a thank-you letter is as important as interview preparation. Bu
45、t theyre tough to write, so people either tell themselves that not sending one doesnt matter, or they procrastinate until its too late and almost pointless anyway.Why its importantA thank-you letter is an additional sales piece. Youre selling a product: you. So beyond the reason of etiquette, the le
46、tter sells you as a polite person who recognizes that the interviewer gave you something valuable - time and consideration.A fundamental rule of sales is to keep the product in front of the buyer and reinforce its benefits. So, the letter gives you ample space to comment on what you liked about the
47、company, why your skills are of benefit to them and how much youre interested.Thank-you letters are one of the reasons why its important to take notes during an interview. Not only does it show good attention to detail, it saves you from having to scrunch up your face trying to remember some of the
48、information you learned about the company and position during the interview.Lets look at how to create one of these so that it becomes a less-odious task.First paragraphOpen with the initial thank-you and include how you enjoyed the meeting. Say why. Maybe the people you met were exceptional. Perhap
49、s their company philosophy was exactly what you had hoped for. Pick something out, and put it down. Just make it real.Second paragraphWhat took place during your interview? Pull out a piece of information that pleased you, say what it was and tell them why. Discuss a particular aspect of the job you
50、 find appealing and reiterate why youd be successful at it, how long youve been performing it or how similar it is to something youve done in the past.Third paragraphWind it up. Reiterate your interest. Be enthusiastic! Theres nothing wrong with coming right out and saying, “Id love to work for X co
51、mpany!”69. According to the passage, taking notes during an interview is important EXCEPT _.A. it brings back details in the interview to youB. it makes you love the company C. it helps you sell your skillsD. it assists you in completing the thank-you letter70. As suggested above, which of the follo
52、wing sentence is most likely to appear in the 2nd paragraph in a thank-you letter?A. Ive always been sharing the notion with yours: Customers First.B. Its my personal honor to have met one of my senior alumni in my dream company.C. In my school, I had already worked out a mobile app aimed at teenage
53、rs that later was bought by one of your rivals.D. The challenge of a marketing position is what I am always interested in and this time, particularly, in the field of male cosmetics.71. What we can infer from the passage?A. A thank-you letter should be short and brief.B. A thank-you letter is a repe
54、tition of your resume.C. A thank-you letter usually goes to the man you are likely to work for.D. A thank-you letter should be written in time.72. This passage is probably aimed at _ .A. personnel department officialsB. newly-graduated studentsC. professors in medicineD. transnational head-hunters(C
55、)Scattered around the globe are more than one hundred regions of volcanic activity known as hot spots (hot spot: a place in the upper mantle (地幔) of the earth at which hot magma from the lower mantle upwells to melt through the crust usually in the interior of a tectonic (地壳构造的) plate to form a volc
56、anic feature; also: a place in the crust overlying a hot spot). Unlike most volcanoes, hot spots are rarely found along the boundaries of the continental and oceanic plates that comprise the Earths crust; most hot spots lie deep in the interior of plates and are anchored deep in the layers of the Ea
57、rths surface. Hot spots are also distinguished from other volcanoes by their lavas, which contain greater amounts of alkali metals than do those from volcanoes at plate margins.In some cases, plates moving past hot spots have left trails of extinct volcanoes in much the same way that wind passing ov
58、er a chimney carries off puffs of smoke. It appears that the Hawaiian Islands were created in such a manner by a single source of lava, welling up from a hot spot, over which the Pacific Ocean plate passed on a course roughly from the east toward the northwest, carrying off a line of volcanoes of in
59、creasing age. Two other Pacific island chainsthe Austral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridgeparallel the configuration (构造) of the Hawaiian chain; they are also aligned from the east toward the northwest, with the most recent volcanic activity near their eastern terminuses.That the Pacific plate and the oth
60、er plates are moving is now beyond dispute; the relative motion of the plates has been reconstructed in detail. However, the relative motion of the plates with respect to the Earths interior cannot be determined easily. Hot spots provide the measuring instruments for resolving the question of whethe
61、r two continental plates are moving in opposite directions or whether one is stationary and the other is drifting away from it. The most compelling evidence that a continental plate is stationary is that, at some hot spots, lavas of several ages are superposed instead of being spread out in chronolo
62、gical sequence. Of course, reconstruction of plate motion from the tracks of hot-spot volcanoes assumes that hot spots are immobile, or nearly so. Several studies support such an assumption, including one that has shown that prominent hot spots throughout the world seem not to have moved during the
63、past ten million years.Beyond acting as frames of reference, hot spots apparently influence the geophysical processes that propel the plates across the globe. When a continental plate comes to rest over a hot spot, material welling up from deeper layers forms a broad dome that, as it grows, develops
64、 deep fissures (裂沟). In some instances, the continental plate may rupture (破裂) entirely along some of the fissures so that the hot spot initiates the formation of a new ocean. Thus, just as earlier theories have explained the mobility of the continental plates, so hot-spot activity may suggest a the
65、ory to explain their instability.73.According to the passage, hot spots differ from most volcanoes in that hot spots _ .A. can only be found near islandsB. are active whereas all other volcanoes are extinctC. are situated closer to the earths surfaceD. have greater amounts of alkali metals in their
66、lavas74.It can be inferred from the passage that evidence for the apparent course of the Pacific plate has been provided by the _ .A. dimensions of ocean hot spotsB. concurrent movement of two hot spotsC. pattern of fissures in the ocean floorD. configurations of several mid-ocean island chains75.It
67、 can be inferred from the passage that the spreading out of lavas of different ages at hot spots indicates that a _ .A. hot spot is activeB. continental plate has movedC. continental rupture is imminentD. volcano contains large concentrations of alkali metals76.The passage suggests which of the foll
68、owing about the Hawaiian Islands, the Austral Ridge, and the Tuamotu Ridge?A. The three chains of islands are moving eastward.B. The three island chains are a result of the same plate movement.C. The Hawaiian Islands are receding from the other two island chains at a relatively rapid rate. D. The Au
69、stral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridge chains have moved closer together whereas the Hawaiian Islands have remained stationary.77.The primary purpose of the passage is to _ .A. describe the way in which hot spots influence the extinction of volcanoesB. describe and explain the formation of the oceans and
70、 continentsC. describe hot spots and explain how they appear to influence and record the motion of platesD. describe the formation and orientation of island chains in the Pacific Ocean(D)Kunal Bahls American dream was coming together in late 2007.

73、d a technology industry with more greenfield (为开发地区的) opportunities than Silicon Valley. Many Indians arent leaving at all or are going to the U.S. for degrees from Harvard and Stanford with no plans to stay after graduation. The two governments dont keep tech-sector reverse-migration data. But Sona
74、li Jain, a professor at the University of North Carolina, who studies the phenomenon, calls this “a very upbeat moment in time for India” that encourages homecomings.Indias booming startup culture probably wouldnt feel any effects of the H1-B floodgates suddenly opened.

78、s only recently that we are seeing the best people return,” he says. “Everything is new. There is a lot of headroom and low-hanging fruit.”Returnees may love the excitement of being in the mix of a young Internet economy, but that doesnt mean they dont miss America. Indias notorious bureaucracy and
79、stressed-out infrastructure can take a toll.
