  For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house.Some deal with the situation by watching TV.Some may hide.But all of them have something in common.They spend part of each day alone.They are called latchkey children.They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work.And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.

  Lynette Long was once the headmistress of an elementary school.She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys fastened.I was constantly telling them to put them inside their shirts.There were so many keys.It never came to my mind what they meant.”Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

  She and her husband began talking to the children who had them.They learned of the impact(影响)working couples and single parents were having on their children.Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone.One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared.Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

  The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding.It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, or in a closet.The second is TV.They’ll often play it at high volume.It’s hard to get statistics(数据)on latchkey children, the Longs learned.Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

Read the following passage, then fill in the form with the correct information from the passage.

(阅读以下文章,然后用正确的信息完成下列表格。)

  There are three branches of medicine.One is called “doctor medicine”, or “scientific medicine”.Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works.From there they figure out what treatments may work.This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century B.C.Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this method probably didn’t cure many patients.

  A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine”, in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs.These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they don’t realize it.They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that.Folk medicine widespread long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.

  The third kind is called “health spas”, or “faith healing”.Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy(神圣的)man and being immediately healed.Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a magic word, to cure you.Some religious groups organize special healing centers for the sick.In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways.They also pray to the gods.If you are feeling sad or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.

Question:

读下列文章,然后用正确的信息完成下列表格。

  Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters.Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life.But a recent report offers some different advice.Experts suggest people should obey their bodies:they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.

  The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide.The report is from the Institute of Medicine, which provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.The report contains some general suggestions.It says women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily and men about 3.7 liters.But wait-in each case, that is more than eight glasses.

  There is one important difference.The report does not tell people how many glasses of water are needed to meet these guidelines.This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.

  As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active.The same is true of those who live in hot climates.Depending on heat and activity, people could need twice as much water as others do.

  All these, however, do not answer one question.No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily.It may have started with a misunderstanding.
