M: My father had always said it was because I was lazy. My brother said it was because my head was too heavy. My mother blamed my bad performance in school on my ancestors. As for me, I believed I was unlucky. In the eighth grade, for example, I was good at math. Thats why I liked video games — technical ones that you have to think about. Well, I stayed up late one night to finish a game that had taken me weeks to beat. In my enthusiasm, I had forgotten that there was a big math test the next day. Well, I won the game but failed the test. In the ninth grade, I started to become popular. Having so many friends meant less time for studying. But after I almost failed the 10th grade completely, I finally decided I needed to change something. I wanted the chance to go to college. That summer, I asked my parents to hire a private tutor. My parents were surprised because they had gotten used to disappointment. Of course, my brother just made fun of me as usual. He made me more determined to change. During the 11th grade, I exchanged my interest in video games for the enthusiasm for computer programming. The more I learned, the more I wanted to know. Because of the dramatic change I went through, I was even accepted into MIT. I changed my luck for good.

【题目】 Living with your parents has its benefits at least when it comes to raising your kids― their grandkids. Two new studies add to the evidence that grandmothers can enhance the survival of grandchildren. That is, unless grandma's too old or lives too far away.

Humans are unusual in that the females live long past the age at which they stop having babies. Patrick Bergeron, professor of biology at Bishop's University in Quebec, said that most of the organisms will reproduce up to their very last moment. This increase is often explained by the so-called "grandmother effect". He thinks there could still be a benefit for women who stop having babies to increase their genetic footprint by helping their daughters to raise larger families.

To explore the "grandmother effect" hypothesis (假设),Bergeron and his colleagues examined nearly 200 years' worth of French-Canadian population records from the 17th and 18th centuries. "At the time, life was tough. In some years, a third o the kids were not even making it to one year of age.” But the researchers found that having a grandmother still alive was a definite plus."Families with grandmothers alive were larger by about two and the survival of these grandchildren to age 15 was much improved."

This beneficial effect was only seen when the matriarchs (女家长)lived nearby. That role is tougher for them to fulfills as they get older in poor health, which brings us to the second study. The researchers found that the benefits associated with having a grandmother on hand depended on her age. Once manna hit 75, the grandchild survival benefit disappeared. This was almost certainly due to some form of indirect resource competition, though, rather than wickedness (邪恶)on the part of co- resident grandmothers.

So a healthy grandma helps make for a healthy grandchild. If ',over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house" isn't too long a trip.
