10．Anne responded on July 20，2013
Julie，most of us are never going to achieve the heights you did as the CEO of a company．I just want to say that I was so touched by your frankness．I haven't been attacked publicly ever like you，but I've suffered from depression--just recently in fact．It helps a lot to hear personal stories，and it helps to read how you might have handled things differently．

Nancy responded on July 21，2013
Something in Julie drew her to artwork during a very dark time in her journey．And later she stated that it's beauty that keeps her going．Beauty and creativity can be very powerful in our lives．And it doesn't surprise me that Julie was drawn to these naturally．Anne，maybe the artistic kinds of activities Julie used will support you well as you move beyond the depressive feelings you're dealing with．
Anne responded on August 4，2013
Nancy，thanks so much for taking the time to offer some great ideas for using creativity to help with depression．Actually during this time I've found that my creative work has been the one thing that's brought me a lot of joy．
Julie responded on August 2，2013
Nancy，thank you for your insights（深刻见解）．
Warmly，Julie．

8．It seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems．Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness．Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked（联系）．
Dr．Adele Juda studied 5，000creative people in Germany．She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population．Poets had the highest rate（比例） of mental illness，followed by musicians，with lower numbers for painters and architects．
Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity．But，it did nothing to explain it．
Dr．Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough．Instead of studying creative people，she took a group of psychiatric（精神病的） patients and tested them for creativity．The patients got much higher scores than a normal group．
Also，the patients'close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group．This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes（基因）．
But this is a problem．According to Darwinism，harmful genes should be removed．Some scientists believe that evolution（进化） has created a balance，where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race．
Geniuses may be mad，bad or just difficult to understand，but their discoveries have improved the world we live in．It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all．

49．According to Dr．Adele Juda，which of the following group has the lowest rate of mental illness？D
A．Painters．B．Musicians．C．Poets．D．Bus drivers．
50．The underlined phrase"made a breakthrough"in the fourth paragraph meansA．
A．discover or find something new and important
B．make a way through using force
C．（of the sun or moon） appear from behind （clouds）
D．suddenly change （from a slower to a faster pace）
51．Which of the following statements is NOT true？C
A．Among the 5，000creative people in Germany，more people suffer from mental diseases than the general population．
B．There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity．
C．Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people．
D．The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes．
52．What is the writer's attitude toward madness？B
A．Madness is harmful to the whole society．
B．A little creative madness is good for us all．
C．All the talented people are mad．
D．Only the people with mental illness have more creativity．

One in three American children is overweight or obese，putting them at higher risk of developing diabetes，high blood pressure，high cholesterol（胆固醇） and other illnesses．Billions of dollars are spent every year treating obesity-related conditions．"None of us wants this future for our kids．We have to act，so let's move．"Mrs．Obama said at the White House．
Being the First Lady and a mother of two，Mrs．Obama has launched her campaign against childhood obesity in the US，hoping to encourage people to live healthier lives．
She admitted that she herself was not immune to the temptations of junk food．"I love burgers，fries，ice cream and cake．And so do most kids，"she stated，"We're not talking about a lifestyle that dismisses all that．The question is how we help people balance that out so that they're not facing life-threatening，preventable illnesses．Instead，they're enjoying their food，they're eating their vegetables，they're doing their running and walking and playing and still have time to get a good，fun meal in every once in a while．"
The campaign contains four parts：helping parents make better food choices，serving healthier food in school vending machines and lunch lines，making healthy food more available and affordable，and encouraging children to exercise more．
The ambitious campaign，which Mrs．Obama hopes will be seen as her legacy（遗产），is intended to solve the childhood obesity problem in a generation，so that children born today can reach adulthood at a healthy weight．"This isn't like a disease where we're still waiting for the cure to be discovered．We know the cure for this．"she said．
President Barack Obama praised his wife for dealing with what he called one of"the most urgent health issues facing the country．""This has enormous promise in improving the health of our children，and in giving support to parents to make the kinds of healthy choices that are often very difficult．"he said．

63．Mrs．Obama launched the campaign because sheD．
A．was strongly persuaded by other mothers．
B．wanted to help the president with his work．
C．found that her own children were also obese．
D．hoped to call on people to lead healthier lives．
64．It can be inferred from what Mrs．Obama said thatA．
A．people should balance healthy food and junk food
B．junk food should be rejected by teenagers
C．she hates junk food so as to completely avoid it
D．children are too cautious about junk food
65．President Obama appreciates the campaign becauseC．
A．it is really a good way for his wife to help him by sharing his concern
B．he realizes that the obesity problem is the most urgent global issue
C．it contributes to the improvement of childhood health in America
D．he totally understands how tough it will be to carry out the campaign．

6．The World Health Organization （WHO） planned to study the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease．Two doctors were chosen to make the study．They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries．They found that serious diseases of poor eating，often mistaken for other diseases，existed in all parts of Africa．The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor．The diseased children are usually from one to four years old．As the illness progresses，the child's stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body．The skin changes color and may break out in open sores（疼痛）．The hair changes color and starts to fall out．The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food，and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time．Stomach liquids are no longer produced．
The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat．Their mothers，after stopping their breastfeeding，gave them foods full of starches（淀粉）instead of greatly needed proteins．They found that the addition of milk to the food of the children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives．
The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease-which has been killing thousands of children for centuries-was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago．The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases．It was the WHO's work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America．

A．poor living conditions
B．lack of proteins in food
C．breastfeeding
D．lack of food
64．It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor becauseD．

B．it is hard to identify signs of it

65．What is mentioned as a simple but reasonable way of curing this disease？C
A．Taking a special medicine．
B．Avoiding any food containing starch．
C．Having more meat or milk．
D．Taking medicine full of proteins．
66．What's the best title for the article？B
A．Milk and Meat Are Daily Necessities
B．Kwashiorkor and Improper Eating Habits
C．A New Form of Illness in Africa and Latin America
D．A Case of Eating Habits．
