17．If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery （芹菜），a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods，a UK study said．
    Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables，the idea is actually controversial，researchers wrote in the American，Journal of Clinical Nutrition．That's because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked，said Jane Wardle，a researcher at University College London who worked on the study．Verbal praise，such as"Brilliant!You're a great vegetable taster"，did not work as well．
"We would recommend that parents consider using small non-food rewards，given daily for tasting tiny pieces of the food 一 smaller than half a little finger nail，"Wardle said in an email．
    The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a"tiny taste"of a disliked vegetable，it gradually changed their attitudes．The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables一 either carrots，celery，cucumber，red pepper，cabbage or sugar snap peas 一 in laboratory taste tests，the study said．
   Researchers randomly assigned 173 families to one of these groups．In one，parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable．A second group of parents used verbal praise．The third group，where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods，served as a"control"（控制组；对照组）．
    Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the"target"vegetable every day for 12 days．Soon after，children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables 一 and were willing to eat more in the research lab，going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience．The turnaround also seemed to last，with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later．
    Why didn't the verbal praise work？Wardle said-the parents'words may have seemed"insincere"to their children．

16．It all began with a stop at a red light．
    Kevin Saiwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter，Hannah，back from a sleepover in 2006．While waiting at a traffic light，they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other．
"Dad，if that man had a less nice car，that man there could have a meal．"Hannah protested．The light changed and they drove on，but Hannah was too young to be reasonable．She pestered （纠缠）her parents about inequity，insisting that she wanted to do something．
"What do you want to do？"her mom responded．"SelI our house？"
    Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds （收入）to charity，while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home．
    Eventually，that's what the family did．The project--crazy，impetuous （鲁莽的）and absolutely inspiring--is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month：The Power of Half．It's a book that，frankly，I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it．An impressionable child reads this，and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street．
    At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere，when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes，the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help．In a column a week ago，it described neurological （神经学的）evidence from brain scans （扫描）that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction．The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness．
    Mr．Salwen and his wife，Joan，had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house．But after they downsized，there was much less space to retreat to，so the family members spent more time around each other．A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house．

41．What does the underlined word"inequity"most probably mean in Paragraph 3？A
A．Unfairness．
B．Satisfaction．
C．Personal attitude．
D．Reasonable statement．
42．What is suggested in the underlined sentence"Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．"in Paragraph 5？D
A．Never advise an idealistic child to make a grand gesture．
B．Unless a child is realistic，never give any promise．
C．Give an immediate answer if the child is reasonable．
D．Don't respond to a child's demands without consideration．
43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．The Salwens donated a lot to charity though they weren't rich．
B．Unselfishness comes from people's primary satisfaction．
C．Hannah's parents sold their house at Hannah's request．
D．The writer's children asked him to sell their house．
44．What can we learn from the last paragraph？B
A．The Salwens regretted selling their house．
B．The family members got much closer．
C．People living in small houses are happy．
D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house．
45．The best title for the passage should be"D"．
