1. Education should be aimed to make better citizens instead of making money.If you're interested in making money,you should start your own business other than schools.Now it's high time that we pat an end to the industrial management of education (教育产业化) and have it benefit all the people instead of the few rich ones. 2. We should take concrete (具体的) measures to lessen the students'heavy burdens of homework. We must kick off concrete policies and rules instead of talking empty talks.We must take action. Only solid policies can guarantee all the students grow soundly. 3. My parents are farmerturned workers.I think we should be treated equally with the local children. We should not only have the equal right to go to the local public schools,but also have the right to take part in the local national college entrance exam instead of being forced to go back to our native place. 4. School choice has become a serious educational problem.To solve this problem fundamentally,we must stick to the balanced development.The government should offer more support to weak schools and have all the teachers exchange the round hillock work among all the schools. 5. The government is unwilling to spend enough money on education.The key schools turn to parents for money to build new buildings and labs and increase their teachers'income.This makes a wider gap (差距) between key schools and common schools.Therefore,in order to realize the balance of education,the government should offer more help to weak schools. |

The World Health Organization(WHO)says that blindness and other visual problems are the leading causes of disability of older people in lowand middleincome countries.However, some researchers disagree with WHO on this point.They made a study and found that the leading cause is dementia (痴呆). 2. ____ Dementia is a loss of intellectual ability that affects memorizing, learning and thinking abilites and other language skills.People with dementia may forget family members or not know what day it is. Sometimes they become angry or sad, and they can often hear voices, or see things that are actually not there. 3. _____ Renata Sousa from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London and other researchers made a new study.The study dealt with the causes of disability among fifteen thousand people aged over sixtyfive in seven countries, which include China, India, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Mexico and Peru.The team found that dementia was the leading cause of disability of the elderly in areas except rural India and  Venezuela.Other major causes were stroke, arthritis (关节炎), depression, visual problems and gastrointestinal (胃肠道的) problems. 4. _____ In lowand middleincome countries, heart diseases and cancer get more attention than chronic (慢 性的) diseases.However, researchers say that great importance should be given to chronic diseases of the brain and mind.As the population ages, the society will have to deal with more and more cases of dementia.The study shows that the elderly is nine percent of the total population in lowand middleincome countries today.However, the number is growing quickly.It is likely to reach twenty percent of the total population by the middle of the century. 5. _____ An article published in the Lancet medical journal dealt with a special issue on disability.It was a study on disability and children in eighteen lowand middleincome countries.It indicated that in almost half of the countries, children who were breastfed were less likely to have a disability than those who were not.The same was true of those who had a deficiency of vitamin A and those who were underweight.Children who did not take part in early learning activities or attend school were also more likely to be disabled than those who did. | |

Most of us express dissatisfaction with our memory, especially when we want to recall some detai l and we can't.Some examples are, an address or a telephone number, the time of a meeting, somebody's name, etc.Even people who I think have an excellent memory, complain that they forget things.Memory works like a bank.You can get to it, only if you put it there.If you didn't deposit it, you can't collect it when you need it.It is described what we need to do to improve our memory in this article. 2. ____ Recall of a particular event or detail depends on the interest we take and the importance we assign to that detail or event, at the time when it is taking place.We remember so much more about people, places, and topics which fascinate us.When you are greatly interested in a subject, you pay close attention and your brain releases chemicals to form deeper "imprints" on the cells that store memory. 3. ____ The more active attention you pay, the more details you observe, the more you think, reason, and comprehend, the more associations you make of what you know with what you are trying to learn, the more you will retain and be able to recall, later on.Good memory is a state of the active mind. 4. _____ Learn with a relaxed mind.Recall the learned material with a relaxed mind.Let's take as an example a situation where you misplace your car keys.If you get too anxious about yourself in trying to recall something, as is the case in this example, you are in for frustration.But, if you relax your mind, and calmly go through the events backward, you are more likely to remember where you left them. 5. _____ Depression can make the interest and joy less in th  e events surroundings us.As a result, too little energy is left to recall anything.Some depressed persons become more anxious and depressed thinking, "I have lost my mind." Once depression is treated, memory as a general rule, returns to the normal. |
