4．The uninvolved dad，turning up his nose at diapering（换尿布） and too busy to bathe，dress and play with his kids，is mostly a myth（神话），a big government survey suggests．Most American fathers say they are heavily involved in hands-on parenting，the researchers found．
The results are encouraging and important"because others have found the more involved dads  are，the better the outcomes for their children．"said researcher Jo Jones of the National Center for  Health Statistics，part of the Centers for Disease Control Prevention．She co-authored the report  released Friday．
"Times have changed，"said Robert Loftus，34，of Yonkers，NY．He quit a six-figure sales  job a year ago to care for his two young children while his wife works full time．"We are trying to  rethink our priorities （优先考虑的事）and family seem to be N0 1  priority while in the past maybe people were more focused on career．"
The study involved nearly 4.000fathers who were interviewed in person between 2009and 2013．

Dr．David Hill，a Wilmington，N．C．pediatrician （儿科医生） said the survey reflects what he's seen among his patients'fathers．Increasingly，fathers rather than mothers take their kids to the doctor．Some"are anxious about changing a diaper，"he said．
Census（调查） numbers show that there were almost 190，000stay-at-home dads nationwide last year versus 93，000in 2010．Loftus，the New York stay-at-home dad，said，"I feel fortunate to be able to be such a hands-on father．I'm doing the most significant occupation in the world．"

1．The Medicine For Inflation
For years，prices have risen in China for many reasons．However，inflation （通货膨胀） has not badly affected people's lives because living standards have improved．Inflation is not an unbeatable beast．In fact，economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it．There are now several methods of controlling inflation．
Reduce the amount of money being issued
Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed．The more money the central bank issues，the more inflation there is．Therefore，the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued．
Cut down on government spending and increase government income
Over-spending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse．Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies，cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies （津贴） to prevent inflation from accelerating．
Slow down the increase of salaries
It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up．In fact，as salaries increase，the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase．Thus，increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds．It's like cheating．Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more．
Increase bank interests
Interest increases can make more people put more money into banks．At the same time，enterprises take out fewer loans．Demand for money on the whole is lower．
Keep prices under strict control
Prices can be lowered by setting a ceiling--the highest prices--for most goods and freezing prices on most goods．

63．The word"issue"in Paragraph 3meansB．
A．use      B．print       C．quarrel      D．invent
64．The writer uses"medicine"to stand forA．
A．ways to reduce inflation          B．reasons for inflation
C．something to treat patients       D．prices without control
65．What is probably the best way to reduce inflation？D
A．No money will be issued．
B．Salaries will be reduced．
C．More products will be produced．
D．Prices will be controlled．
66．The article does not mentionDas a way of reducing inflation．
A．controlling prices
B．adjusting bank interests
C．controlling the amount of money being issued
D．improving people's living standards．

20．Just be happy．Sounds too simplistic，doesn't it？But，in reality，we can have much more happiness if we choose to consider things from a positive point of view．Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life，however，we can make a decision to take advantage of the negative or practice what the old saying says to do："When life gives you lemons，make lemonade!"It really boils down to your attitude and you have the ability to work your attitude into any shape you like．Here are some tips：
•Ignore those who tell you life is too difficult to be happy．What do they know？
•When you awaken each morning，be thankful for another day，even if it's raining．
•Smile at those you meet，even if they don't return the favor．
•Don't borrow trouble．Each day has enough of its own．
•Don't allow trouble to bury you in its gray depth of sorrow．
•Don't give in to negative thinking．
•Be positive even when others are not．
•Refuse to give up on anything worth having or doing．
•Do something you enjoy each day，even if it's just a walk in your neighborhood．
•Whistle（吹口哨） as you go through the day．
•Work at being happy because it's worth it．
You're human，like everyone else，and from time to time you need a little pick-me-up in your decision to be happy．When you reach that stage，find someone else who has decided to be happy．Join forces with him and march forward in your decision to be a happy person．Simply speaking，a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes．
Choose today to just be happy--as much as it depends on you!

19．Preparations are underway around the world for Chinese New Year （Feb 19）and celebrations in China will be mirrored across the planet wherever the Chinese Diaspora （华侨） calls home．Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day．
London
Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others，having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s，London's Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang．Decorated with red lanterns （灯笼），previous years have seen shows with acrobatics （杂技），martial arts （武术），dance and opera nearby．

Mauritius
Found in Port Louis，this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation's rich multicultural diversity．Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China，its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors．During the Chinese Spring Festival，the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets．
