The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast va

27、e of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health. From this researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are
28、in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them. The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 per cent of t
29、he study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 per cent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 per cent of the time. “Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.“ lead researcher Dr.
30、 Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. “The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors. And the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.“ Grzywacz suggested follow-up resea
31、rch to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic. “If something happens every day, maybe its not seen as a stressor,“ Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just life.“ stressful adj. 紧张的 ;压力重的 diploma n. 毕业文凭 ,毕业证书 stressor n. 紧张刺激物
32、devastating adj. 毁灭性的 follow-up n.

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree (可可树 ) by South Amer
36、ican Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today. The potato is also from the New World. Ar
37、ound 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine (饥荒 )“ of 1845 1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to Ameri
38、ca. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a co
39、untry in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s. According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake“ feeling that one-third of
40、 the worlds population now starts the day with. 36 According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years? （ A） Food. （ B） Clothing. （ C） Ideology. （ D） Language; 37 “Some“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to （ A） some cocoa trees （ B） some choc
41、olate drinks （ C） some shops （ D） some South American Indians 38 Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine“ because （ A） they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything else （ B） they were forced to leave their homeland and move to America （ C） the weather cond

Once while being prepped for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one re
44、ason were seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home. At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough f
45、or my benefit, “It should be the better parent who stays home.“ A lot .of guys say things like that. Usually its code for, “My wife (read: any woman) is the better parent.“ I was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration made me bristle. It implied that our familys choice could only
46、have been correct if I was a “better“ parent than my wife. I think men shoot themselves in the foot with this kind of thinking. I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better“ parent: She had spent more time with Ry, could read him better and calm h
47、im more quickly. And given a choice, hed have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and looked after our son. Know what? I caught up. Because of the increased time I spent with him. I soon knew Ry well, understood what he needed and could look after him
48、 more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the worlds great secrets: Women are good at looking after children because they do it. Its not because of any innate female aptitude or a mothers instinct which I think is mostly learned anyway. Its because they
49、 put in the time and attention required to become good at the job. Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing. But over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I dont know. Who cares? Children are not made of glass, other people ale capable of looking after them besides Mom. 41 Which of the following does the first paragraph imply? （
