An interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they mature(³ÉÊì).

While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of 34, men will wait until their 45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape.

The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older.

Women¡¯s interest in books reaches its peak(¶¥·å) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s.

Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age 30, while women do not do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.

The research used anonymous(ÄäÃûµÄ) data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the statuses, ¡®likes¡¯ and ¡®interests¡¯ they had posted on their profiles.

It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31.

Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age 31, while women go out to see films most when they are only 19.

Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38.

And if you are middle aged, a safe topic for any audience is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they approach 60.

Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carried out the research, says, ¡°It¡¯s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people¡¯s typical interests.

¡°People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.¡±

Raised in a fatherless home£¬my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn¡¯t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home£¬Dad never met me£¬even in severe weather. If I grumbled£¬he¡¯d say in his loudest father-voice£¬¡°That¡¯s what your legs are for!¡±

The walk didn¡¯t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn¡¯t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.

It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop£¬I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

A row of hedge£¨Ê÷À飩edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey£¬I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening£¬the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge£¬moving toward the house. Upon closer observation£¬I realized it was the top of my father¡¯s head. Then I knew£¬each time I¡¯d come home£¬he had stood behind the hedge£¬watching£¬until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care£¬after all.

On later visits£¬that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home£¬I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. ¡°So! My son£¬it¡¯s you!¡± he¡¯d say£¬his face lengthening into pretended surprise.

I replied£¬¡°Yes£¬Dad£¬it¡¯s me. I¡¯m home.¡±

Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.

The shoes ¡ª named Square Eyes ¡ª contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day¡¯s efforts.

The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. ¡°We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,¡± she says. ¡°And I wanted to tackle that with my design.¡±

Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.

Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.

Existing pedometers £¨¼Æ²½Æ÷£© normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. ¡°It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,¡± she says. ¡°That was one of my main design considerations.¡±

1.According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.

A. keep a record of the steps of the wearer

B. deal with overweight among teenagers

C. enable children to resist the temptation of TV

D. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs

2.Which of the following is TRUE of Square Eyes shoes?

A. They regulate a child¡¯s evening TV viewing time.

B. They determine a child¡¯s daily pocket money.

C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

D. They contain information of the receiver.

3.What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?

A. The exact number of steps to be taken.

B. The precise number of hours spent on TV.

C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.

D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time

B. Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise

C. Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise

D. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight

1.Sometimes they try to get out of a class to escape a teacher they don¡¯t like. Here is some advice to solve this problem.

Ask yourself, ¡°What can I learn from this teacher?¡± Even if you don¡¯t worship (³ç°Ý) his or her personality or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher¡¯s personality, and use him or her as a tool for learning. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better. 2.

Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better. 3.

If you still can¡¯t get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor (¸¨µ¼Ô±). He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships. 4. That means they can help you and your teachers get rid of the bad impression on each other.

5. Your parents can meet with your teacher and try to work it out.

Teachers are there for more than just homework, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner.

Undoubtedly, these will be a few teachers along the way who you will always remember and who might change your life forever.

A. If your relationship problems can¡¯t be solved in school, then it¡¯s time to tell your parents or guardians.

B. If you¡¯re too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior in the classroom and try to follow that lead.

C. Students don¡¯t always get along well with their teachers.

D. There must be something good in every teacher for you to learn from.

E. Students find it easy to get along well with their teachers.

F. Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.

G. Guidance counselors have the right to blame teachers.
