［1］A new study has found evidence of aggressive behavior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day．

［2］The mothers of 3,000 five-year-olds took part in the study．They were asked to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period and keep records of how they behaved．The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda．Four percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day．

［3］Children who drank the most soda were more than two times likely to show signs of aggression．“For the children who consumed four or more soft drinks per day，we see an association between aggressive behaviors，attention problems and withdrawn behaviors．”Shakira Suglia says．The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others，taking part in fights and physically attacking people．

［4］Shakira says the researchers identified the link after they considered the factors like the child’s age and sex．They also considered ____________，such as whether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit drinks on a normal day．In addition，the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that might be taking place in the home．

［5］It is not quite clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems．However,a substance often found in soft drinks is caffeine，which helps to make people feel energetic．Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the children to be more aggressive．

［6］The research is part of a larger study called the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study．It follows 5．000 poor mothers and their children in 20 American cities．

1．What is the main idea of the text？(no more than l2 words)

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A lime?known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated（估計(jì)） to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications（暗指） of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧視) in employment. Life?long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.

1.The proportion（比例）of older people________.

A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

B. is one seventh of the population in developing countries

C. will increase much faster in China than in France

D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

2.According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?

A．The diseases and disability of older people.

B．The longer life and good health of people.

C．The loss of taxes on older people.

D．The increasing respect for older people.

3.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B．Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C．Providing free health care for sick older people.

D．Supplying life?long learning programs to older people.

4.The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.

A．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

B．population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently

C．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem

D．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem

Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星) just yet, but that isn’t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years．This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.

“Everything we need to go to Mars exists,” said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014．“We have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans．For a one-way mission, all the technology exists.” Yet the four astronauts chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars—forever．And despite Mars One’s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place．The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost ($6 billion)．However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.

Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars．Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show．Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world．In addition to the cost, several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.

“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars,” said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineering at Kingston University in London．“The size of the rockets you’d need to do this would be absolutely colossal.”

1.According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next ________years.

A． seven B． eight C． ten D． six

2.According to Bas Lansdorp, which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A． Robots are prepared for the settlement for humans.

B． He could not come up with the fund for Mars One.

C． We humans have the rockets to send people to Mars.

D． The equipment is ready for humans to land on Mars.

3.The word “colossal” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.

A． very large

B． very small

C． medium

D． average

4.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?

A． Ready for a Round Trip to Mars

B． Ready for a Short Visit to Mars

C． Ready for a One-way Trip to Mars

D． Ready for a Walk on Mars
