A new World Bank report warns that children who do not get enough good food in the first two years of life suffer lasting damage.They may be underdeveloped or underweight.They may suffer from poor health or limited intelligence.Besides,these children are more likely to drop out of school and earn less money as adults.

The report notes that too little food is not the only cause of poor nutrition.Many children who live in homes with plenty of food suffer for other reasons.

The study also connects malnutrition(营养不良)to economic growth in poor countries.A lack of nutrition in early childhood can cost developing nations up to three percent of their yearly earnings.Many of these countries have same economic problems that are growing at a rate of two to three percent yearly.The study suggests that poor countries could possibly double their economic growth if they improved nutrition.

Africa and South Asia are affected the most by poor nutrition.The study says about half of all children in India do not get enough good food.The World Bank study also notes that rates of malnutrition in South Asia are almost double those in central and southern Africa.Other parts of the world are also seriously affected,including Indonesia,Uzbekistan,Yemen,Guatemala and Peru.

The study recommends that developing countries change their ways to deal with malnutrition.Instead of directly providing food,the study suggests educational programs in health and nutrition for mothers with young babies.It also recommends cleaner living conditions and improvements in health care.

Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.

It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.

“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.

The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”

According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.

“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.

To me, another plus is that ride sharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.

1.The American teens like me, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.

A. it is most fashionable and cool

B. they are bored with driving cars

C. they are fond of being connected

D. it is much cheaper than a car

2.We can learn from the text that _______.

A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals

B. ride sharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other

C. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology

D. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother

3.Professor Juliet would agree that _______.

A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage

B. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession

C. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter

D. being connected via technology is important for young people

4.The best title for the passage is probably _______.

A. Twitter, an Awesome Website

B. Cars or iPhone

C. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides

D. Cool Teens on the Go

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.

Canada left the Britain in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.

Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.

The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example. Outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels（标签）and instructions in both languages.

In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism（双语）means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten（幼儿园）or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 per cent of the teaching will continue to be in English.

1. How many provinces are there in Canada?

A. Ten B.Nine C.Eleven D.Two

2.Which country controlled Canada before its independence?

A. France. B. Britain. C. America. D. Germany.

3.Which of the following sentences is Right?

A. English is the only official language, though French is also spoken there.

B. The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.

C. All products sold in Canada must be explained in both English and French.

D. In any restaurant in Canada, you can find French on the menu.

4.In Canada’s English speaking provinces, what does official bilingualism means?

A. Students have to complete a special French language course.

B. Under the programme, the students are mainly taught in English.

C. If a student begins a special French language course, in kindergarten or Grade one all his lessons may be in French.

D. When the students are at junior high school, they will only be taught in English.

A 16-year-old in foster care has finally found a home. His adoption caseworker (社会工作者), who has known him since he was 7, will become his adoptive mother this month.

In October 2013, Davion Only spoke in front of a church congregation (会众) in St. Petersburg, Florida, and made an _________ for adoption.

The_________ plea (恳求) went viral, and Only’s foster agency_________ calls from more than 10,000 people, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Only _________ traveling to Ohio to live with a minister’s family. But after Only got into a physical _________ with one of his older would-be siblings (兄弟姐妹), the minister and his wife changed their minds.

Back in Florida, Only passed through four different _________ homes over the next year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption caseworker, to make a special _________ .

Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him but she always _________ . “I always believed there was a better family than us out there,” Going tells Yahoo Parenting. “He _________ so much in this world.”

But this past July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Going says something felt _________ . “In adoption there is a ‘claiming moment,’ when you know someone is your child. When he called me to ask, in that moment, I just knew,” she says. “When he asked me, my heart felt this _________ and I just knew he was my son.”

So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time _________ the rest of her family — the other four children who she also adopted out of foster care. _________ , Going managed to rent a bigger home, got a lawyer, and started adoption _________ .

Only will officially join Going’s family on April 22, when the adoption _________ . “Today, I am feeling blessed and honored by being chosen to be the parent to all my children,” she says. “I work every day on being the best parent I can to them, to be patient and creative so that I can _________ all their needs.”

A spokesperson for Eckerd, Only’s foster agency, told the Tampa Bay Times they were _________ with the new development. “We are truly thrilled that Davion has been united with his forever family.“

While Going is waiting for the newest _________ to her family to become official in the eyes of the law, she says Only is already her child. “I want him to know he is _________ loved for who he is, the way he is,” she says. “The changes he chooses to make in his life, and the choices, are his to make. As a family we will be there through it all, the good and the bad for our lifetime. He is home.”
