22、ading assignment is given, instructors expect students to U U 1 /U /Uthe information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The U U 2 /U /Ustudent is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in gettin
23、g high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student U U 3 /U /Ulearning the material assigned. When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with U U 4 /U /Uguid
24、ance. It is the students responsibility to find books, magazines, and U U 5 /U /Uin the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works. They expect students, U U 6 /U /Ugraduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library. Professors will
25、help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not U U 7 /U /Uthem. In the United States, professors have many other duties besides teaching, such as U U 8 /U /Uor research work. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is U U 9 /U /U. If a stu

30、ld, Padrn and her family moved from Cuba to the United States. Settling in Landover, Mass., she was placed into elementary school, but had no working U U 4 /U /Uof English.

35、Healthy?AMost people are worried about the health of the economy. But does the economy also affect your health? It does, but not always in ways you might expect. The data on how an economic downturn influences an individuals health are surprisingly mixed. Its clear that long-term economic gains lead
36、 to improvements in a populations overall health, in developing and industrialised societies alike.BBut whether the current economic slump will take a toll on your own health depends, in part, on your health habits when times are good. And economic studies suggest that people tend not to take care o
37、f themselves in boom times drinking too much (especially before driving), dining on fat-laden (装满的) restaurant meals and skipping (略过) exercise and doctors appointments because of work-related time commitments. “The value of time is higher during good economic times,“ said Grant Miller, an assistant
38、 professor of medicine at Stanford. “So people work more and do less of the things that are good for them, like cooking at home and exercising; and people experience more stress due to the rigours of hard work during booms.“ Similar patterns have been seen in some developing nations. Dr Miller, who
39、is studying the effects of fluctuating coffee prices on health in Colombia, says that even though falling prices are bad for the economy, they appear to improve health and lower mortality rates (死亡率). When prices are low, labourers have more time to care for their children.C“When coffee prices sudde
40、nly rise, people work harder on their coffee plots and spend less time doing things around the home, including things that are good for their children,“ he said. “Because the things that matter most for infant and child health in rural Colombia arent expensive, but require a substantial amount of ti
41、me such as breast-feeding, bringing clean water from far away, taking your child to a distant health clinic for free vaccinations infant and child mortality rates rise.“DIn this country, a similar effect appeared in the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression, according to a 2007 paper by Dr Miller an
42、d colleagues in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The data seem to contradict research in the 1970s suggesting that in hard times there are more deaths from heart disease, cirrhosis, suicide and homicide, as well as more admissions to mental hospitals. But those findings have not
43、been replicated, and several economists have pointed out flaws in the research.EIn May 2000, The Quarterly Journal of Economics published a surprising paper called “Are Recessions Good for Your Health?“ by Christopher J. Ruhm, professor of economics at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, b
44、ased on an analysis measuring death rates and health behaviour against economic shifts and jobless rates from 1972 to 1991. Dr Ruhm found that death rates declined sharply in the 1974 and 1982 recessions, and increased in the economic recovery of the 1980s. An increase of one percentage point in sta
45、te unemployment rates correlated with a 0.5 percentage point decline in the death rate or about 5 fewer deaths per 100,000 people. Over all, the death rate fell by more than 8 percent in the 20-year period of mostly economic decline, led by drops in heart disease and car crashes.FThe economic downtu
46、rn did appear to take a toll on factors having less to do with prevention and more to do with mental well-being and access to health care. For instance, cancer deaths rose 23 percent, and deaths from flu and pneumonia increased slightly. Suicides rose 2 percent, homicides 12 percent. The issue that may matter most in an economic crisis is not related to jobs or income, but whether the slump widens the gap between rich and poor
