An estimated 90 percen
18、t of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society a
19、llows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is
20、 a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is t
21、he socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular
22、 health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggested that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability
23、of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality (活力) and longevity
24、(寿命).（分数：10.00）(1).The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because_.（分数：2.00）A.wrong decisions could lead to poor healthB.it helps raise the level of our medical knowledgeC.it is essential to personal freedom in American societyD.personal health choices help cure most illnesses

27、Fries and Crapo to_.（分数：2.00）A.deliberately ending one s lifeB.improving the quality of one s lifeC.limiting one s personal health choiceD.breaking the rules of social behavior(5).According to Fries and Crapo, sound health choices should be based on_.（分数：2.00）A.personal decisionsB.statistical eviden
28、ceC.friends opinionsD.society s lawsBy adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children s language development. If a pa
29、rent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child s language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children find their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study: the other half acted as the control group. In the exper
30、imental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group wer
31、e also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group show
32、ed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00

37、ey conducted by research firm Harris Interactive, 71% of Americans said that spending extra money on travel during the holiday season is worthwhileso long as it affords them time with family and friends. But just because traveling may be the right thing to do, that doesn t mean it has to be the expe
38、nsive thing to do. Traveling involves many hidden costs that, once you re aware of them, are easy to spotand even easier to elminate. To start, consider transportation fees. For example, if youre driving, fill up the gas tank before traveling on the highway, where its much costlier, says Clarky Davi
39、s, a personal finance expert. And make sure your car is in good condition by checking your heating vents, keeping up with routine maintenance and ensuring your tires are properly inflated, all of which help the car achieve favorable fuel economy. Furthermore, not only does a tow car(救援车) cause incon
40、venience: it also means extra costs. For those opting to fly, first, be aware of how much it costs to check a bag. Most airlines are charging for every checked bag by weight, but prices vary from carrier to carrier. If you can manage to pack everything into a carry-on, youll save at least $ 15. Broo
41、ke Ferencsik, a travel expert, suggests considering secondary airports when booking your flight. These airports often are less crowded and frequently offer cheaper tickets. And when it comes to your actual destination, dont assume that hotels are going to cut back on fees simply because they re desp
42、erate to draw customers. “They wont be adding or increasing fees, but they won t be decreasing them either,“ says Ferencsik. The best defense against extra fees is to read about the hotel s rates online, before you make a reservation. “ Be aware of surcharges for everything from housekeeping to grou
43、ndskeeping to use of the in-room safe,“ says Ferencsik. Some hotels even install a sensor(传感器) within the mini bar, charging guests for simply touching the items, let alone eating or drinking them. “From airlines to hotels to rental cars, they ve all got hidden fees you need to be aware of,“ says Fe
